902 Chapter 521: The Obelisk And Its Powerful Guards [1/2]
A multitude of significant figures appeared in the meeting hall of Lion City.
Richard looked solemnly at the troop map of the entire Ell Kingdom.
A statue of a little lion marked the Lion City.
Lion City was in the southeast corner of Ell Kingdom and was the last province in the south.
All the enemy attacks would come from the north and west.
However, Lion City was at the center of the province. They have already transferred the troops of the small city. No other town stood before them to stop the enemy.
Lion City would face a battle that would end as soon as it started.
Whoever won this battle could control the situation in the Ell Kingdom.
Richard would have to leave Ell Kingdom regardless of his capability should Raging Blood Duke win. He could at least see and meet its people again someday. That could be in the future.
Those nobles and troops who hated Raging Blood Archduke would instantly shake the foundation of his rule following his defeat.
At that time, the influence of the royal family of Ell would increase tenfold.
Princess Tundel pointed at a bloody rift marked on the map.
Her voice released strangled hatred afterward.
“The main troop of the kingdom of Ell is stationed in the abyssal rift.
“Ten main legions and one elite legion. The elite legion is level 15, and each main legion is level 13 – 14.”
“But Raging Blood Duke, that despicable bastard, is not only a shameful traitor. His connivance with the evil gods is horrendous!
“The traitor transferred this troop out of the abyssal rift and is heading toward Lion City.
“He exclusively groomed the general commander of this troop. This general would never be our ally again.
“It’s possible the abyss eroded and corrupted this troop following their rebellion.”
She pointed at another mountain mark.
“This is the Black Mountain’s territory. This enemy had always admired Raging Blood Duke and had five main troops.
She continued to expose the surrounding threats in the Ell Kingdom.
Richard looked around and could not spot any worthy allies on the map. The traitor deliberately groomed his soldiers into much stronger than the last.
The whole kingdom became foes.
They had to deal with 40 legions.
Meanwhile, Lion City only had eight legions. They barely had nine with Twilight City reinforcements and the reserve forces of Lion City.
The difference was generously overwhelming!
Raging Blood Duke could produce 15 elite legions above level 15. Lion City had two elites only without the reinforcements from Twilight City.
They had level 20 centaur Emily and level 23 vampire archduchess Loreinna. Perhaps that was the Lion City’s advantage in this war!
They would have three transcendents if Richard added the Fire Elemental Lord.
Raging Blood Duke only had one transcendent.
It was rare for Twilight City to have such a high-level power to crush the opponent in such a large-scale war.
However, many uncertain factors existed, such as the abyssal rift and the connection between the traitor duke and the evil gods.
All of these could affect the direction of the war.
This torment harshed Richard’s breathing as he pondered.
Everyone nervously looked at the figure as he stared at the map.
He would be the ultimate decision-maker in this war. A single order, or even a single thought, could change the situation.
Richard collected his thoughts and looked around after a long time.
“The final victor of this war…must be us.”
“Raging Blood Duke would be around the city no matter how many troops he has.”
Confidence and conviction flooded Richard’s calm tone.
The uneasy atmosphere dissipated by half.
That was the first time most people in Lion City had seen Richard. But they already had a strong sense of trust in him.
Transcendents had to address him as their master. Perhaps that was the reason.
Richard’s attitude was enough to prove everything.
Tundel took a deep breath and said slowly, “Great Ruler Richard, all the troops in Lion City will be under your command.”
The young princess immediately handed over the command.
A faction could only have one voice.
True. Tundel was the royal princess of Ell, but Richard was the real key to the mission.
Richard nodded and did not stand on ceremony.
“Next, let me explain the arrangements…”
He would find the Raging Blood Duke and kill him directly, if possible.
Unfortunately, the Ell Kingdom was not his territory. It was unrealistic to slay a transcendent who controlled hundreds of thousands of troops before Raging Blood Duke showed himself.
Raging Blood Duke wouldn’t need to show up if Lion City could not withstand the siege of his troops.
The trump card in the enemy’s hands was much stronger than the Lion City on the surface.
An hour later, the gamers who waited outside finally saw the heroes of Lion City as they walked out of the meeting hall.
At this moment, the nervousness and uneasiness almost dissipated from their faces, and they all revealed excited expressions.
They wore confidence for the upcoming battle.
A soldier walked over quickly and looked at the warrior commander player.
