Chapter 1918: Chapter 1082 Inside and Outside the Fortress
A mass of dark clouds obscured the moonlight, making the already hazy night sky grow even dimr.
Leo Ray gazed at the rapidly approaching army of a million from the Grimm Kingdom, feeling his own breath becoming noticeably heavier.
Before nightfall, all of our main forces had already stationed within this enormous Sunset Fortress, bringing the total troop count here to 700,000.
Included among them were elite mbers of five neutral organizations secretly won over by us, as well as so elite soldiers transferred from other fortresses.
For example, after resolving the crisis at the Rainforest Fortress, Leo Ray dispatched Jasper Richardson to transport nurous strong fighters from the Yorkman Clan over here.
“Seven hundred thousand against a million? While it seems we’re not at a significant disadvantage, the gap with the 15 main forces corps makes it quite formidable.”
“Even though I have five more Tier 5 powerhouses than the enemy, our overall strength is still at an absolute disadvantage.”
Reflecting on this, Leo Ray inquired of Isaac, “How is the status of the Absolute Defense Barrier?”
As a mber of the Lancaster Clan, who has been guarding the Sunset Fortress for generations, this old subordinate elevated by Leo Ray to the position of clan leader undoubtedly understands the situation here best.
“My Lord, excluding the magic artilleryn on the city walls and the anti-aircraft legion, all the mages under our legion’s command have been stationed in the 63 Magic Towers located throughout the fortress to power the Absolute Defense Barrier.”
Isaac, dressed in a blue magic robe, placed a hand on his chest ceremoniously, his aged face full of solemnity: “The Absolute Defense Barrier of the Sunset Fortress has never been so adequately empowered before!”
“Very well, the Absolute Defense Barrier is the cornerstone of this battle, and we must be most vigilant.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly, refocusing his gaze on the grand army of the Grimm Kingdom below the fortress.
Leo Ray clearly understood, as he had said.
The crux of this operation lies in which side’s Absolute Defense Barrier breaks first.
Once the Absolute Defense Barrier breaks, it will an that comprehensive physical and magical attacks will pour in unimpeded, making devastating impacts unavoidable.
When one side is bombarded to its knees and the other side advances entirely, the outco will naturally be decided.
“Currently, besides Dragon’s Lair and the Unfallen Fortress, I have consolidated all the Demon Energy Luminous Crystals from Mountain Fortress and Rainforest Fortress.”
“Adding what the Scarlet Queen Catherine sent and what I just acquired from Eckhart, the storage of Demon Energy Luminous Crystals in this Sunset Fortress has exceeded 10,000, more than a typical nation’s entire stockpile.”
“This ans, without extra mana expenditure, the Sunset Fortress can fire 100,000 rounds from Tier 2 Magic Cannons, and with 2,000 Tier 2 Magic Cannons deployed directly on the city walls, we have enough magical firepower for a certain amount of ti.”
“Therefore, I’ve allocated most of my magical power to maintain the Absolute Defense Barrier, thus balancing our lack of magical strength.”
As he thought this, Leo Ray glanced around himself.
On the long city walls, apart from the densely deployed Magic Cannons, stood rows of our vigilantly prepared longbown, almost covering the entire city wall.
“The most elite divine archers from the Royal Family, Lancaster Clan, and Sanders Family are all here. Except for the Moon Chaser Clan guarding the Unfallen Fortress, this is the Coldfla Kingdom’s strongest ranged physical force.”
“With all Tier 3 longbows equipped and a sufficient number of magic arrows after quantitative changes, we can also compete with the larger number of the Grimm Kingdom’s ranged physical force.”
Thinking of this, the tension in Leo Ray’s heart eased sowhat, and his attention turned to the other allied generals around.
Excluding Joshua, who is responsible for logistics and healing, the National Level powerhouses nad No-Na and White Knight, Burt, Hod, Rose Marquis, and the Kingdom Generals Belinda Wright; the head of the Sanders Family, Linda; and the Lancaster Clan leader Isaac, who oversees the general coordination, were all present.
Of course, there was also Ariel Watson, who had been accompanying him.
As for other mid-level generals, they were simply too nurous to count.
Aside from familiar ones like Cole, Kowen, Buzz, Laura from the Sanders Family, and subordinates like Tia, Tina, and Layne, most of Leo Ray couldn’t na.
“Indeed, this is my strongest command lineup.”
Leo Ray regarded the determined faces of his generals and nodded in satisfaction.
However, despite being fully prepared, Leo Ray clearly noticed.
Facing the overwhelming army of the Grimm Kingdom below, both his generals and the densely packed ranks of soldiers around were perated with an extrely solemn and tense aura.
This was no surprise, as the enemy had a significant advantage in both strength and numbers, and their intentions were clear: to initiate a battle of annihilation with the aim of completely obliterating us.
What’s crucial is that besides their ground forces, they possess a massive power we do not have.
With this thought, Leo Ray slowly raised his head, looking toward the distant and darkened horizon.
In the pitch-black sky, countless eerie red dots flickered constantly, like the eyes of demons, always ready to bring disaster and death.
