Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 2267: Chapter 1260: Lord’s Fortress_2

“For instance, here the vast Hundred Ranges sever the connection between the Human World and the Outer Region. There are many gateways pointing to the Outer Region, while some places have only a single entry point, often not blocked by mountains but by rivers, forests, miasmic swamps, or even bizarre abysses.

“Apart from differences in geographical location and terrain, as I mentioned earlier, the distribution of power also varies greatly.”

“A race that disappeared from this land three thousand years ago may still thrive and develop into a magnificent civilization elsewhere, like the Dark Beastmen, which is a good example.”

“Not only that, but some Human Worlds have even become vassals to other powers, leading extremely difficult lives, or they have maintained commerce and relations with the Outer Region, prospering as a result. There are countless situations, some nearly destroyed before the Lord’s advent.”

“In such cases, the historical changes over three thousand years have also been quite different. As for the history before the Era of Blankness, I have yet to verify it, nor do I know if other places have the [God’s Stone], but I suspect these aspects don’t vary much.”

“So, the question arises, why do different, yet numerous platforms coexist? This cannot be explained by common sense; it’s like an unfathomable mist.”

Leo Ray recalled the cosmic scene with the double-star system he saw at the core of the City of Light.

The planet surrounded by two suns and two moons could very well be this world of swords and magic, yet it remains shrouded in thick fog, obscuring everything.

“In any case, based on these situations, an extremely important issue arises: the difficulty of conquering each platform inevitably varies, and the resources obtained ultimately differ as well.”

“Although I still don’t know if the power and resources on this land are above or below average, it’s certain that only by capturing the entire ‘Fortress’ can I have the capital to contend with other ‘Fortresses.’”

Having sorted everything out, Leo Ray first instructed Wite and others to form up on the side, then took out the remaining 700 Tier 3 Recruitment Orders.

Among these, 500 originally were Tier 1 Recruitment Orders upgraded, and the remaining 200 naturally were the 2 newly obtained and upgraded today.

“Then let’s go ahead and summon 700 Tier 3 subordinates in one go.”

With this decision, Leo Ray proceeded to activate them.

A series of radiant gates began to glow within the Territory, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

This time, even before the light dissipated, Leo Ray furrowed his brows slightly and instructed nearby Gideon Black, Orion Wolfe, and the Priest Squad to stand by.

For emerging from the gates, along with the figures of new subordinates, Leo Ray also detected the scent of blood and smoke.

This undoubtedly indicated that this group of new subordinates was summoned straight from the battlefield.

Although the contract stated that severely injured or dying individuals could not be summoned, it didn’t exclude those with minor injuries, like the previously summoned Radiant Guard.

Sure enough, as the radiance gradually faded, although most new subordinates had even breathing and no injuries, some were panting heavily, their gray magic robes and maid outfits stained with fresh blood, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

“Quick, make sure nothing goes wrong with the new comrades.”

Leo Ray nodded to the waiting healing subordinates, then began observing the 700 new subordinates carefully.

Judging from the shield-shaped emblems on these new subordinates’ chests, they were clearly from the same place, but their specific classes varied, mainly divided into three groups.

The largest group comprised sword and shield soldiers wearing white light armor and holding longswords and light round shields.

The other two, noticeably smaller in number, were gray-robed mages and battle maids dressed in maid outfits with witch hats.

As the new subordinates formed up and Gideon Black and others began treatment, Leo Ray opened the overview interface of the new subordinates.

“The white-armored sword and shield soldiers are called Light-Armored Guardsmen, with a total of 5 intermediate squads. The commanders’ strength is at Tier 3 Peak, and the soldiers are all Tier 3, 5-star or higher. Many are even Tier 3, 7 or 8-star, evidently a well-trained veteran force.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly and began to examine in detail.

In terms of active skills, they have mastery over basic sword skills like ‘Z-Slash,’ ‘X-Slash,’ and ‘Triple Slash,’ as well as advanced sword skills like ‘Radiant Stab,’ ‘Brilliant Slash,’ and ‘Sky-Cleaving Slash.’ They also possess various defensive skills using shields and sword-shield coordination skills.

Regarding passive skills, their mastery and proficiency with longswords and shields go without saying. They also excel in ‘Castle Warfare’ and other combat skills in localized battlefields, showing they are a professional guard force.

“They complement my Heavy Armored Guards well, handling defenses both inside and outside the Castle. Although the Territory also has Long Spear Soldiers, Great Swordsmen, and the Radiant Guard, adept at frontal combat, flexible light-armored swordsmen are clearly more suited for indoor duties and combat.”

Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction and continued reviewing.

“Gray-robed mages are actually a Court Illusionist Squad?”

Leo Ray’s gaze wavered over the new subordinates’ overview interface, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

If we were to consider before, excluding the Phantom Maids, even combining all Court Illusionists of the Human World might not exceed this scale substantially.

The Illusionists’ strength matches closely with the Light-Armored Guardsmen, all being Tier 3, 5-star or higher, making them an exceptionally outstanding elite force.

In terms of active skills, they cover illusionary magic, including Sky Illusion Skills, or camouflage with Visionary Illusion Magic.

For passive skills, they are naturally proficient and masterful in illusion magic, alongside regular techniques like mana affinity enhancing mana recovery for magic powerhouses.

“Excellent, the function of the Court Illusionists cannot be underestimated; combined with the Detection Array, it can virtually eliminate situations involving disguise or invisibility!”

Highly satisfied, Leo Ray turned his attention to the last Battle Maid Squad’s overview interface.

“Magical Combat Maids? Their strength is on par with the other two groups.”

A flash of surprise crossed Leo Ray’s eyes as he read further.

In terms of skills, Battle Maids aren’t dramatically different from average Mage Squads, adept in both single-target and area spells like Earth Spear Stab, Torrential Rain Arrows, Fire Arrow, and Wind Blade Skill.

In addition, they have mastery proficiency in increasing spell damage and passive skills like enhanced mana recovery.

“Combat prowess is secondary; this fits my expectations perfectly, easing the workload on Warren Dexter and others. Otherwise, people like Roger Smith responsible for Castle guards would have to double as cleaning staff.”

Just as Leo Ray thought of this, the three new subordinate commanders completed their formation and ran over, expressions full of reverence.

It was clear from the traces of fear and distress in their eyes that the recent return from the battlefield had still left them shaken.

“Salute to the Lord, we are grateful to the Lord for summoning us and saving our lives!”

As the three knelt and spoke, the other new subordinates followed suit, exclaiming the same in unison: “We thank the Lord for saving our lives!”

Upon finishing, all new subordinates placed their heads on the ground, showcasing their gratitude and loyalty through their actions.

“Please rise, everyone; the flames of war you endured are now past, and you can rest easy.”

Leo Ray lowered himself to help each of the three up, nodding slightly, “From now on, you are under my protection, and no one can harm you in any way.”
