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

Chapter 2050: Chapter 1149: The Lord and Reflections on the City Wall

The sun shone brightly, the sky a clear blue, and the horizon was serene.

Yet on the ground, it was a scene of chaos.

On an ancient street, it was bustling with traffic, crowded everywhere.

People, laden with luggage, hurriedly made their way out of the city.

Carriages creaked and splashed roadside stones, startling a few orioles resting on the beams.

“Faithful followers of the Grimm Kingdom, the brave and righteous His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince leads a noble army to save you, to rescue the Temple of Light which is being dragged into the abyss by the evil Gannon the Ninth. How grand and noble is this!”

Amidst the bustling crowd, a young priest in a holy white robe, holding a Holy Book, was giving a passionate speech.

His voice was exceedingly loud, a small golden formation spun on his pale neck, clearly an application of Sound Amplification Magic.

“Praise His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince! He dares to face the fathomless evil abyss; he dares to confront the indescribable source of darkness. He will eventually bring the dawn to the Human World, and restore the demon-controlled Temple of Light to its former glory, playing the symphony of triumph!”

“Praise His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince! This is a hymn of courage, a hymn of the Human World! His Royal Highness the Holy Lion will write a new legend, bringing true light back to the Human World!”

The young priest’s voice became increasingly fervent as he continued, “Faithful followers, do not be blinded by the whisper of demons. The light masked by demons is but a prelude to evil, and the finale is only death!”

“Gannon the Ninth is merely a demon wearing an angel’s mask, while His Royal Highness the Holy Lion, who truly seeks the light, is falsely portrayed as a demon. But please remember, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion will eventually tear apart the demon’s mask with his own hands and destroy the filthy and bloody evil temple!”

“Only by following closely in His Royal Highness the Holy Lion’s footsteps can we share in his glory, receive his protection, and never fall!”

After praising Leo Ray, the young priest began helping the soldiers, whose chests bore the emblem of the Grimm Royal Family, maintain the order along the street. These soldiers were from the ranks of Lawrence.

“Please exit the city in an orderly manner, so as not to become enslaved puppets controlled by Gannon the Ninth, or mindless bloodthirsty creatures. His Royal Highness the Holy Lion will provide you with food, funds, and shelter until your homes are bathed again in light!”

Among the dense crowd leaving the city, such priests were not limited to one but were spread across every block. These priests were those innocent ones somehow deceived by Gannon.

With the priests’ orations and the soldiers maintaining order within the city being surrendered soldiers of the Grimm Kingdom, everything proceeded smoothly with hardly any chaos.

At the end of the ancient district, on the city gate tower, a young man, surrounded by Lawrence and multiple surrendered generals of the Grimm Kingdom, looked down at the orderly crowd leaving the city and nodded slightly.

It goes without saying, this was the very Leo Ray hailed by the priests.

Leo Ray was long used to the priests’ praise, having heard it to the point of numbing. He saw it merely as a means to bolster his reputation, feeling little personally.

If this could, in some way, help him eliminate Gannon the Ninth more swiftly, he didn’t mind expanding the priestly ranks to further strengthen his offensive.

After silently watching for a while, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

Three days and nights had passed since delegating Antonio’s mission that evening.

During this period, both the strategy of my forces and Catherine’s army converging first at Grimm Capital, and the restoration of the Energy Convergence Array in Ice Stone City, were proceeding smoothly.

Leaving other matters aside, the conquest of cities over the past few days went off almost too smoothly, even with a tinge of the bizarre.

Reflecting on this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but furrow his brow slightly.

This city, named Steele City, was not far from the Grimm Capital.

Currently, led by Lawrence, the commanders of the Grimm are evacuating the city’s residents to purification zones outside the Central region to prevent them from falling under Gannon the Ninth’s control.

Nonetheless, while everything seemed to proceed orderly, Leo Ray’s investigation over the past few days revealed that things were not as simple as they appeared.

First, the garrison in these Central region cities, though somewhat strengthened from the outset, were limited to that extent, far from the formidable force one would expect, still collapsing at the first blow.

Logically, this close to their capital, the new king shouldn’t be negligent in defense.

Second, all subdivisions of the Temple of Light within these cities were shut down in advance. Not only did they not assist in defense, but there wasn’t even a trace of any warriors.

Finally, and most critically, an inquiry into each city’s household registration showed that numerous residents were missing, without a clue of their whereabouts.

So much so that many villages around the cities seemed to vanish into thin air, disappearing without a trace.
