As the Holy Maiden of the Moon Palace, she was usually an aloof and unapproachable figure, holding a status even higher than an ordinary human princess. She was not accustod to such handshaking etiquette, and no one had ever dared to extend a hand to her, not even Griffon Prince Andre.
Moreover, in the traditional etiquette of the Dark Elves, this was a gesture only shared among intimate family mbers, which speaks volus.
However, it was evident from Teresa’s starry eyes that, although she was imnsely surprised, that was all there was to it.
If it had been soone else daring to be so presumptuous, Teresa naturally wouldn’t have let it slide, but with Leo Ray, not a single such thought crossed her mind.
After a mont, Leo Ray seed to rember sothing, and with a flick of his hand, a set of Tier 5 Wand and Tier 5 Magic Robes, shimring with brilliant colors, appeared in front of Teresa.
"Saintess Madam, this set of equipnt provides a substantial boost to Shadow Magic, just right for soone like you, a Shadow Magic Instructor. Consider this as a small return gift from ."
Leo Ray faintly smiled as he handed the equipnt over to her.
For Leo Ray, though he hadn’t reached the point of mass equipping yet, producing a single set of Tier 5 Equipnt was exceedingly easy, without even batting an eye.
Since knowing Teresa, she had offered our side considerable help, even risking her life to assist us in battles against formidable enemies, not to ntion donating highly practical and precious Tier 5 Magical Scrolls this ti again.
Considering the connection with Elusa as well, it’s quite appropriate morally and logically to offer these as a return gift.
"Worthy of a Royal Highness Prince, sending off Country Guardian Level Divine Weapon equipnt as a gift; I’m truly flattered."
Accepting Leo Ray’s equipnt without ceremony, Teresa looked over it, a gentle smile appearing as she said, "Then, I extend my thanks for the return gift, Your Highness Prince!"
"No need to be courteous, as long as the Saintess Madam likes it, then my aim is achieved."
With a slight raise of his eyebrows, after chatting with Teresa for a while, Leo Ray escorted her out of the Mountain Fortress.
During this process, through Teresa’s descriptions, Leo Ray further understood.
Currently, thanks to Teresa’s intervention, the internal situation of the Saint Night Kingdom has basically stabilized.
After all, the Saint Night aristocrats and their henchn like Andre, who were at odds with Teresa, were mostly controlled by Leo Ray in the Eternal Sleep Canyon.
Without Andre and others’ hindrances, Teresa, supported by many Moon Palace generals and so pro-Moon Palace nobility, naturally quickly grasped speaking rights within the Holy Night Court.
Under Teresa’s overall leadership, although so nobility within the court tried everything to save Andre and continued escalating opposition against the Coldfla Kingdom, they were all nipped in the bud by her.
Regarding the newly crowned New Holy Night King, he remained silent, not obstructing Teresa from taking the opportunity to expunge Andre’s faction from the court.
Hence, it seems everything is moving towards positive developnts, but there remains one matter that Teresa cannot disregard.
That is, no trace of the Black Abyss Brotherhood has been found.
"Rest assured, Saintess Madam, once the battle concludes with the elimination of Gannon the Ninth, everything will naturally resolve itself."
Standing in a forest near the Fortress, Leo Ray nodded to Teresa, stating.
"But I always feel things won’t go that smoothly, Your Highness Prince. Please proceed with utmost caution, as the current military success is sowhat too smooth, which is clearly unreasonable."
Teresa furrowed her brows, articulating what has puzzled Leo Ray all along, solemnly saying, "The Temple of Light is deeply rooted, and Gannon the Ninth is extrely mysterious. I’m afraid your Highness Prince will face an unprecedented fatal storm."
"I know the storm is coming, but the other side has already extended murderous tendrils into my territory, causing heavy casualties among my soldiers. Naturally, I must return this tenfold, enduring whatever storm cos."
Leo Ray’s eyes slightly narrowed, calmly stating, "Moreover, they’re brewing a huge conspiracy, potentially plunging the entire human race into crisis, and soone has to stand up to stop it, right?"
"Such a huge matter I wouldn’t trust to others, I want to personally plunge them into the endless abyss, making them pay an unbearable heavy price."
At this point, Leo Ray mysteriously smiled and added, "Besides, I’ve acquired so new stuff, and my strength is now completely different. Even Saintess Madam will be greatly astonished."
"Hearing this from Your Highness Prince, I feel relieved and genuinely look forward to the future of the battlefield’s direction."
Teresa’s fair complexion imdiately showed a hint of a smile, nodding, "In any case, I wish your Highness Prince great victory."
Having said that, Teresa’s slender figure moved, and she disappeared into the shadow of a tree beside, vanishing instantly from Leo Ray’s sight.
"She really is always coming and going without a trace."
Upon seeing this, Leo Ray shrugged and, with his subordinates, returned to the Royal Capital via the Unfallen Fortress.
Seated in the royal rest chambers of Lion Castle, Leo Ray inford Ariel Watson, who had newly arrived upon hearing the news, about today’s events while enjoying her perfectly forceful shoulder massages.
"Things stand like this. Apart from the deciphering formation at the Light Elf Ruins still lacking news, we have yielded results in all other directions."
After describing everything, Leo Ray couldn’t help but exhale deeply.
Thus concludes a series of preparations for new trump cards, with only the wait for the decisive battle with Gannon the Ninth remaining.
However, before the showdown formally begins, one more thing needs caution.
That is the current march towards Grimm Capital.
While knitting his brows, Leo Ray expressed his concerns.
"Lord, indeed the situation at Grimm Capital is indeed very suspicious. Surely this must be Gannon the Ninth’s sche, after all, he could even backstab Saint King William to achieve his goals, let alone this New King."
Having heard Leo Ray’s concerns, Ariel Watson knitted her brows similarly, pondered, and said, "Though we’re advancing according to the planned path towards Grimm Capital, should we consider so contingency asures?"
"I’m already working on it, no matter what kind of conspiracy they’re brewing, it absolutely cannot halt our advancent."
Leo Ray nodded, his eyes gleaming.
The following two days remained exceedingly calm, during which Leo Ray accomplished a rather significant matter.
Through Lawrence’s tireless efforts, he persuaded Jared, the Grimm Kingdom’s Holy Knight Commander who had previously voluntarily put down his arms, to ultimately join our camp.
In the prior battle at Sunset Fortress, the Grimm Kingdom’s Holy Knight Commander had personally witnessed innocent soldiers turned into puppets, witnessed Saint King William being backstabbed, and personally dealt with the backstabber, persuading other Grimm remnants to surrender, significantly aiding us in resolving issues.
Now, with this esteed National Level strong person from the Grimm Kingdom joining, it will undoubtedly greatly benefit both the stability of the Grimm Kingdom and our campaign to attack the capital.
Finally, on the third morning, as the sun just began to rise, a grand army bearing battle flags appeared, bathed in brilliant morning light, slowly approaching the horizon near Grimm Capital.
This was the very army led by Leo Ray.
At once, the crisp clang of armor and the heavy powerful footsteps echoed, the vast montum resonating in every corner of the world, creating an extrely impressive scene.
"Your Highness Prince, we are nearly there."
Prince Viceroy Lawrence, following closely at Leo Ray’s side, pointed at the increasingly distinct majestic city ahead, solemnly reporting.
"Is it finally beginning?"
Leo Ray slightly nodded, a sharp curve forming at the corner of his mouth, smiling, "Rather than passively facing an impending storm, let’s proactively start a storm ourselves."
