Leon was so powerful that he had shocked the east coast. As a result, he had been honored as the “King of the Seaside.” Over the years, many people had tried to challenge the King of the Seaside, including people like Herman Amstel and Lewre Spoolin who had purely challenged him for the sake of learning. There had also been ones like Alan Apollo Kasadier, who had challenged him for the reward of “beating the governor of the Garth Town” offered by the Kingdom of the Blue Moon. Unfortunately, they had all lost, and they learned their lesson. Finally, these uncontested victories had even increased Leon’s prestige.
However, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t use force against Kalisa who was holding him.
After several explanations, all in vain, he finally had to ask Sui Xiong for help.
Hearing Leon’s words from the Channel of Religion, Sui Xiong was so shocked that he immediately moved them through space in order to see them. At that time, Sui Xiong was discussing things with Morani and some others in the God’s Kingdom of the Desolation God System. So the two people who were holding each other tight had just appeared in front of several gods.
After all, Kalisa was a shy girl. When she saw the group of gods around them with strange shapes, sending out strong waves of power and pressure, she panicked. She quickly yanked her hands away from Leon’s grasp. She didn’t know what to say. Her face was red, and she was burning up. One could almost see steam coming out from under her shirt.
Leon was much calmer. He gently pulled Kalisa’s hand, saluted to the gods with her, and then told them his plan.
His plan was very simple—he just went to the Kingdom of Eagle to see if he could do something. If the situation was so desperate that he couldn’t do anything to save it, he would not insist on saving the country. If so, he would rush to the temple of the God of Eagle before the Orc army broke into the Eagle Wing City. He’d try to save the ancient books and records in the secret library, as well as the Archbishop and several young bishops. They were the only people he wanted to save in the entire Eagle Wing City.
“It sounds reasonable and feasible,” Morani said after listening to his plan. “I don’t think that this is dangerous, so you can try it.”
“Feasible? Hell no. You should listen to his inner thoughts!” Sui Xiong sneered. “What he was thinking was that he would go find Woods and talk about it, and ask him why he had started a rebellion at that time. Then he would kill that guy and grab the Three Eagle Artifacts back. After that, he would run to save the Archbishop and some others in the temple of the God of Eagle, along with the ancient books and records by the way!”
Yorgaardman was stunned and looked at Leon with a smirk. “Good boy! You dare to play tricks in front of us! You have guts!”
Leon’s power had reached the peak of the Legendary Realm, so even gods could not see whether he was lying or not unless they interrogated him deliberately. Moreover, he did not actually lie, because he just kept a part of the plan unsaid. Therefore, except for Sui Xiong who knew him, the rest of the gods were really deceived by him, even including Yorgaardman, the powerful God of Justice.
However, what are lying people afraid of the most? Being busted!
Being ousted by Sui Xiong , Leon couldn’t help but smile. Feeling embarrassed, he said, “That… was just a temporary concept…”
“When you really do it, it will not just be a concept anymore!” Sui Xiong said angrily. “You are going to the Eagle Wing City to save people. I have no problem with that. But you are going to take revenge on Woods, and that is not a good idea!”
“Right!” Morani, who had been paying attention to the battle situations, said. “Woods Igor has now led the army of the Kingdom of Eagle to the last one of the seven fortresses in the northern part of the kingdom, which is also the sturdiest one, the ‘Pure Gold City.’ Now he has four legendary masters around him, and two more are talking about remunerations with him. What’s more, he is wearing the Eagle Clothing, the Eagle Crown, and the Eagle Sword. Although the three artifacts have not been awakened by the descendants of the Eagle Wing Sword, their collective power can still raise him to a point comparable to a legendary, high-level warrior. With your strength, one-on-one, it may not be difficult to kill him. But, you can’t fight him directly.”
Leon frowned because he didn’t expect there to be so many masters around King Woods.
“Moreover, if you appear in the military camp on the human side, I am afraid that your legendary strength will affect the top-strength comparison between the two sides. At that time, the Orcs are likely to send a master to kill you, even if you tell them that you are not here to get involved. Because after all, you are human.”
Leon was silent, and then he sighed softly.
His Majesty, the Steel Lion, is right. I am a human. Although I don’t mean to help the humans fight, I won’t really stand a chance if I get involved in the fight between humans and Orcs. If that happens, I’ll have to fight against the strong Orcs in a life-or-death battle.
“There are eight legendary Orcs in the Orc army in total. I don’t want to introduce their names one by one. In fact, I didn’t care much about the names.” Morani continued, “But, you need to pay attention to these three. The first, ‘129,’ is a presbyter of the Divine Temple. The presbyters of the Divine Temple have abandoned their names and only call themselves the number in order of them having entered the temple. This presbyter probably entered the Divine Temple 900 years ago. He is a shaman and good at using all kinds of curses and strong spells. When you fight against him, you should pay attention to his curses as well as the melee battle after he is strengthening himself.”
Leon nodded slightly and kept this information in his mind.
“He is taking the ‘Staff of Imprisonment,’ one of the most important artifacts of the Orc race, but he can’t fully display the power of this artifact with his strength. What’s more, this artifact is so important that he would rather die than put it at risk. So you only need to beware of the two forces of this artifact, ‘blocking’ and ‘destroying.’ You don’t have to fear that he will use all the power of the artifact. He will not turn the six demigods imprisoned on the staff into puppets to attack you.”
Leon’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but smile. “This is really good news!”
“Yes. But you can’t just relax your vigilance because of that. The power of the Staff of Imprisonment is very strong. If you are hit by it, you will definitely die unless Void Mask rushes there in person to save you,” Morani warned him. He then smiled with satisfaction upon seeing Leon nod seriously.
Morani continued, “Second, watch out for Atel, the strongman of the Leopard race. In every generation, only the most powerful assassin of the Leopards can have this name. So you can imagine how dangerous he is. If you are marked by him, you will never have a moment of peace. Even relaxing for a second will result in your death.”
Leon frowned, but there was no fear on his face.
The meaning of His Majesty, the Steel Lion, is very clear. In a face-to-face battle, I would never lose to this Atel. I just need to beware of his sneak attacks.
“The last one… To be honest, I don’t want to talk about him, but I must.” Morani sighed. “The present Orc emperor, Junero Tiger, who is also known as the ‘Scholar.'”
“I have heard a lot of stories about him,” Kalisa couldn’t help but say. “There are a lot of books about him. They all say that he is such a weak scholar that even a dog can beat him. Among the Orc emperors of the past, his force is the weakest, and even the weakest in the entire palace. Even his maid is better than him.”
“In terms of the folk legends, this is true,” Morani said after a brief silence. “But, at least in my impression, he was very strong that year!”
“That year?” Leon asked curiously. “I have never heard of the past of this Orc emperor. In my impression, he seemed to be a scholar all the time. Later, he participated in the big fight contest held by Hogg Bale, the former Orc emperor. In the contest, he defeated his opponents one by one relying on his charm and wisdom. Finally, he talked with Emperor Hogg through the night and convinced the fierce man. After that, as a scholar, he sat on the throne of the Orcs, who advocated the forces…”
“This is just a story. How can the Orc race accept a scholar who has no power to be their emperor!” Morani laughed. “There are some real parts to this story. For example, it was true that he became the emperor of the Orc race without a fight. But as far as I know, he showed an amazing power of pressure on the fighting field. He overwhelmed a legendary strongman only with his influence, and then he avoided the following battle.”
Leon was so shocked that he couldn’t help but clench his fists.
Just relying on the power of pressure to overwhelm a legendary strongman?! How powerful he must be to be able to do this!
Can I do this now?
