Capítulo 2503: Chapter 1382: Doubts and Joining (Part 2)
“But if we don’t agree, with the ans of the Emperor of the Human Race, I fear we may truly cease to exist.”
In his dilemma, Davis involuntarily swallowed a gulp and instinctively cast his gaze upon Ruth, his eyes reflecting a mix of pleading and inquiry.
For over a millennium, the Light Half-Elves and the Dragonborn have maintained a secret connection, with the forr often assuming the role of Protector. It is for this reason that the Dragonborn risked offending all surrounding powers to cooperate with the Light Half-Elves without hesitation.
Of course, aside from this, the Light Half-Elves also promised many benefits and advantages, many of which were urgently needed by the Dragonborn, which was a crucial factor in their decision.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Davis was seeking Ruth’s help in the current situation.
Even though Ruth held a significant favor for Leo Ray, ultimately, Leo Ray had taken control of the Ancient Mine and reached an agreent with Ruth to acquire the Black Crystal Ball.
“Rest assured, Your Royal Highness Prince, the Human Majesty isn’t saying this to beco enemies with you, but to express his own determination, so there’s no need for you to worry.”
As a crucial figure among the Light Half-Elves, Ruth was clearly well aware of all of this.
She first gave a warm smile to lighten the atmosphere a bit, then turned to Leo Ray and asked, “Your Majesty of the Humans, could you please first tell why you intend to lead everyone here into the depths of the Outer Region? With the current power of everyone present, you can already fully control this area.”
“Given Your Excellency Ruth’s intelligence, you must have already guessed sowhat, especially since General Jess just ntioned pursuing the world’s truth lost for three thousand years, naly the truth of the Era of Blankness.”
Leo Ray replied with a slight smile, speaking frankly, “But there is one critical premise, and that is that we must safely overco the impending threat of the Great Catastrophe.”
“Therefore, we must find more comrades. Only by gathering more strength do we stand a better chance of surviving the Great Catastrophe. Otherwise, when disaster strikes, everything will be destroyed.”
“As long as newcors have no grievances with us and are not enemies of the Ten Thousand Clans, we will welco them with open arms.”
“In other words, everything I am doing is rely for the continuation of the Human civilization, and the civilizations of our comrades, nothing more.”
“Even if we encounter the greatest catastrophe, I must ensure that the spark of Human civilization doesn’t extinguish. This is my root, my responsibility, and my obsession, for we have no other way to retreat.”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, not only Ruth and Mallen among the Light Half-Elves had a dignified look on their faces, but Davis and Nal, along with other Dragonborn leaders, shared the sa expression.
Even first-class forces standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Clans, due to reasons such as resources, technology, arrogance, etc., mostly seek to protect themselves from the Great Catastrophe, rarely choosing to cooperate with others, let alone seek burdenso alliances.
As for so weaker forces banding together for warmth, their influence is extrely limited and, for various benefits and resource-related reasons, they are reluctant to accept outsiders easily, sotis opting for the strong bullying the weak.
Yet, as Humans who have been away from the Outer Region for a long ti, planning to embrace all forces indiscriminately is undoubtedly sothing unimaginable and seemingly unattainable.
“Your Majesty of the Humans, I understand your ideals, but this path is incredibly arduous. Even the first-class powers standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Clans cannot achieve it. Standing before you will be increasingly terrifying behemoths with inexhaustible resources and unimaginable strength to confront.”
Ruth’s starry eyes were filled with solemnity, and she spoke earnestly, “They monopolize all High Tier Magic technology, their arrogance has no tolerance for subjugation, and they may possess the terrifying ability to utterly destroy you all in the blink of an eye. Are you truly prepared to beco their enemy?”
As Ruth’s words fell, the air in the Command Hall beca significantly heavier.
Whether Mallen and other Light Half-Elves or Broy and our leaders, or Davis and others, all showed a grave expression.
Not to ntion those first-class forces standing at the peak of the Ten Thousand Clans, even facing a second-tier power, with our current weakened forces after several fierce battles, we find it challenging to guarantee outright victory.
However, those like Broy, who have witnessed Leo Ray’s Talent, clearly understand that given enough ti, everything will be resolved smoothly.
Yet, the ever-changing and unpredictable state of the Outer Region presents challenges deeper and deeper. Even this battle over the Ancient Mine forces us to fight in an unrested state; will there truly be so much ti available?
Moreover, confronting the ever-imminent and highly unpredictable Great Catastrophe, ti is already extrely tight. If there is a chance to advance, how can we always choose to stay put? How is this different from staying with a magic trap that may explode at any mont?
While the crowd was galvanized by solemn thoughts, Leo Ray rely chuckled lightly, responding, “Your Excellency Ruth, as I said earlier, we have already reached a point of no return. Besides moving forward, is there another choice?”
Saying this, Leo Ray retracted his smile and seriously said, “Rather than sit and wait for death, I prefer to continue advancing without looking back.”
“I understand, maybe one day, we Light Half-Elves will fight alongside Your Majesty of the Humans.”
Ruth’s fair face radiated a trace of admiration and anticipation, and she added, “But on the condition that you do succeed in reaching the depths of the Outer Region, besides the first-class powers standing at the peak, many second-tier powers cannot be underestimated. Many of which even we wouldn’t casually provoke, and so low-key forces are difficult to discern with concrete strength.”
“Thank you for your Excellency’s advice, I also look forward to witnessing the prominence of the Light Half-Elves’ Potent Warriors.”
Leo Ray maintained a polite smile, nodding slightly.
“This is not advice, just a friendly reminder from a friend.”
Ruth also smiled and then turned to Davis, nodding gently, “Your Royal Highness, we have no objections to the proposal from Your Majesty of the Humans, and as longti friends of the Dragonborn, we also hope you can successfully weather the Great Catastrophe, a terrifying scourge unknown, even first-class powers can’t confidently withstand.”
“Thank you for your suggestion, Your Excellency Ruth, I now know what to do.”
Seeing Ruth esteem Leo Ray highly, coupled with Leo Ray’s previous words, Davis, who also serves as the Regent King, silently gritted his teeth, clasped his hand over his chest, and saluted Leo Ray, “We Dragonborn are willing to stand alongside Your Majesty of the Humans and everyone here, becoming comrades fighting in unison!”
After Davis spoke, Nal and other Dragonborn leaders all bowed their dragon heads to Leo Ray, displaying respect.
Witnessing this, our side’s mbers also couldn’t help but feel elated.
The joining of the Dragonborn effectively ans we fully control all areas on both sides of the Gleaming Giant Valley!
“Thank you for your Royal Highness Prince’s trust, you made a right choice, and you will definitely feel proud of your choice today. After the battle is cleaned up, I will personally visit you and bring so small gifts.”
Leo Ray gently patted Davis’s shoulder armor, clapped his hands casually, and addressed everyone, “Well, let’s conclude this eting here. Ice Stone City will escort everyone away, please attend to your respective duties and recover promptly.”
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreent and quickly took action.
anwhile, Ruth and other Light Half-Elves rested briefly in Ice Stone City, preparing to return to the mine to obtain the Black Crystal Ball.
When the Command Hall finally quieted down, Leo Ray finally heaved a sigh of relief, sat back in his chair to rest for a mont. But just then, a delicate and slender figure appeared before him once more.
