Those self-destructing priests were not unfamiliar to White and the other generals; they were renowned powerhouses of the Temple of Light within the Royal Capital, known for their integrity and humility, bestowing grace upon the residents of the capital.
But White and the others never expected that those Temple of Light powerhouses, always smiling warmly, would reveal such hideous and terrifying expressions.
In their mouths, the residents of the Kingdom were nothing more than ants to be casually crushed, utterly insignificant.
"Now you should fully understand, right?"
Leo Ray’s calm voice sounded, speaking softly, "Who is the real enemy."
Hearing Leo Ray’s words, White and the other generals, shaking within, all knelt before Leo Ray, full of sha, "Your Highness, earlier we were blind, almost putting you in a predicant. Please forgive us!"
If before, White and the others were not fully convinced by Leo Ray’s words, now these neutral Grim generals were utterly devoted to Leo Ray.
This His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince from another world bore the cost of opposing the entire Human world just to move against the tide, exposing the Temple of Light’s ugly truth. How great and noble is this?
It is also because of the appearance of His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince that the residents here did not all fall into evil hands, becoming what the opposition would call "bait"!
"Stand up, all of you. I hope you can tell the truth to every soldier who still holds true light in their hearts."
Leo Ray nodded to the generals, his expression growing more serious.
Even though that middle-aged priest didn’t reveal any important information, from his few words, so useful information could still be deduced.
That is, the opponent has indeed officially launched the "Divine Plan", and these residents, referred to by the opponents as "bait", are likely as I thought, akin to sacrifices.
"Does this an everything is exactly as I had just hypothesized?"
Thinking of this, Leo Ray’s expression beca increasingly grim.
One must know, aside from Saul and the summoning corps, together with my allies, there are 50 legions trapped here.
If the opponent’s purpose in trapping so many of our soldiers here is not for an ambush, but also to make them "bait", then the situation is undoubtedly dire.
Just as Leo Ray thought of this, the ordinary Grim residents around, like walking corpses, began to faint one by one and lose consciousness.
"Lord, it seems the opponent is controlling these residents from the other end of the teleportation array; now that the array is closed, these residents naturally lose control like marionettes whose strings have been cut."
Wilson stooped to check for a mont, then rose and reported to Leo Ray, "Based on the current situation, it seems these residents are indeed very similar to the condition we observed before and should regain consciousness soon."
"General White, leave this to your n to handle, and once the residents wake, inform them of the truth as soon as possible."
Leo Ray thought as he spontaneously waved his hand, taking out a pile of golden scrolls like a small mountain, continuing, "These are special group Purification Spell Scrolls, which can remove the puppet engravings left by the opponents; let your soldiers and the residents use them."
These magical scrolls were crafted by Sofia during her spare ti, precisely for such ergencies when she isn’t present.
Although quantities are limited, the upgrades by Leo Ray naturally brought them to a rather abundant state.
"As you command, Your Highness the Prince!"
White saluted by placing his hand over his heart and imdiately sprang into action.
"Ti is critical, let us imdiately find the road leading out of here."
Watching the back of the departing old white-haired general, Leo Ray nodded at the three Stone Spirits.
After so searching by the group, a giant ancient door, not much different from before, quickly appeared in front of Leo Ray.
"Sir, leave it to ."
Little Jie flew forward, ready to undo the barrier on the door, but then she made a puzzled sound.
Seeing the familiar scene, Leo Ray gripped his longsword and imdiately asked, "Little Jie, is there sothing unusual about the barrier?"
"No, sir, this result is not much different from before; it should be the sa spellcaster’s seal."
Little Jie turned her head, replying, "But I feel soone on the other side of the door is frantically attacking, trying to forcibly break the barrier. I can even feel a violent energy filled with bloodlust."
"Oh? Could it be Catherine and her team?"
Leo Ray brightened his dark eyes and said, "Little Jie, it’s quite possibly our own people on the other side, but to be safe, let’s be cautious."
With that said, after making preparations, Leo Ray ordered Little Jie to begin breaking the barrier again.
In no ti, as a familiar energy wave vibrated out, the door slowly began to open.
Sure enough, the mont a crack appeared in the door, a petite figure burst out from the door, shouting loudly, surrounded by a blood-red glow.
The blood-red glow cast a delicate pale face, revealing small tiger fangs and a fierce expression, belonging to none other than Louise.
Upon seeing Leo Ray’s figure, she retracted all her fierce light, returning to a harmless state.
"Oh, it’s you, the Prince of the Human Clan!"
Louise jumped to Leo Ray’s side, placed her hands on her hips, and said to the air in the opposite corner, "This lady thought it was that bunch of hateful guys."
"As expected of Miss Louise, this little trick certainly couldn’t fool you."
Leo Ray’s figure erged from the corner as the central "Leo Ray" slowly dissipated.
"Just a piece of cake."
Louise raised her eyebrows, chuckled, and said, "Even though your Invisibility Cloak is quite remarkable, easily deceiving Tie 5 Powerhouses, this lady, after all, is a half-step Tier 6 expert!"
With that, Catherine, Taylor, the four of them, quickly joined Leo Ray.
"Lord!"
"Your Highness the Prince!"
Everyone looked relieved, as if they had found their mainstay.
"The situation is urgent, let’s exchange information imdiately."
After seeing everyone safe and sound, Leo Ray didn’t indulge in chit-chat, diving straight into the main topic and described his recent experiences.
"So the opponents transported the soldiers here not to divide our combat power, but to serve as sacrifices for their evil plan?"
Catherine clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, "Those damn bastards, they’ll pay sooner or later!"
"No wonder we only found footprints of our soldiers in the previous area, but saw no soldiers, nor any signs of battle."
Jasper Richardson furrowed her brows, pondering, "It seems the soldiers were transported elsewhere not long after being brought in."
"But none of our soldiers had a Holy Engraving on them. How were they obediently transported away?"
Taylor looked puzzled and scratched his head.
"Let’s not forget that Gusta is an Illusion Master; he must have left a backdoor here."
Leo Ray furrowed his brows deeply and flipped his hand to reveal a fist-sized, exquisite, ash-white gemstone, appearing before everyone.
No need to say more, this was the form of the [Divine Stone], Little Illusion.
Since Leo Ray brought Wilson and Yoyo along, he naturally could not leave this treasure behind.
As for the Illusion Matrix on the Eternal Sleep Canyon side, Shirley had taken ti to reinforce it again.
With the spellcasting of the Chief Priest of the Illusion Spirit Race, optimizing Little Illusion naturally beca a breeze.
"Lord, you finally rembered about ."
With a flash of ethereal mist, the [Divine Stone] in Leo Ray’s hand transford into a small elf suspended in mid-air.
Little Illusion flapped her transparent wings, spun around the giant door, and then, with furrowed brows, reported, "My lord, though the opponent has concealed it well, there indeed remains the scent of a foreign Illusion Matrix on the other side of the door!"
Hearing this, everyone’s expression beca increasingly grave.
This undoubtedly ant the possibility that our 50 legions’ soldiers have already beco at on the opponent’s chopping board.
