Chapter 2645: Chapter 1456: Into the Depths of the Black Fog
When the two elite teams stood firm, Leo Ray looked left and right, recognizing the newcors as mbers led by Loris of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and Sina of the Desert Alliance.
In Loris’s team, Thomas, old Susan, and others who had participated in the Shadow Market had not changed much, while Sina’s entourage had changed completely, now accompanied by Lannis, the Clan Leader of the Catman Clan, a female Fox People expert, and a humanoid expert resembling a cactus.
The Catman and Fox People were familiar sights, but Leo Ray had also heard of the strange humanoid expert, who was indeed from the Desert Alliance’s Desert Needle People.
It was not difficult to see that after Sina was attacked, many important experts, including the Masked Man, around her had suffered significant injuries or even fallen.
“Desert Leader, this ti Your Excellency must be careful.”
Loris, having evidently heard of Sina’s plight, feigned concern on his lion-like face, mockingly saying, “If there is another ambush, I fear the Desert Alliance may lose its head.”
“Do not worry, even if I am foolish, I would not let anyone easily take control and give the entire alliance away.”
Equally aware of the other’s situation, Sina was not one to be outdone, raising her chin to confront him.
“You…”
Hearing this, Loris was montarily speechless, and even the usually boisterous old Susan could only remain silent in sha, unable to rebut.
Seeing this scene, Leo Ray smiled wryly.
As before, the two alliances harbored deep grudges, and even though they were temporarily united, removing their mutual distrust would likely take so ti.
With this in mind, Leo Ray cleared his throat and smiled, “Gentlen, this is not the ti for such discussions. Let us focus on the present.”
“Your Majesty of the Humans is right, that Witch Demon is heinous, and we are eager to act.”
Loris, with an eager expression on his lion-like face, said enthusiastically, “This ti, let the Rainforest Fortress Alliance take the lead and annihilate those Witch Demons!”
“Naturally, we are eager to be the vanguard, as the Desert Alliance will not lag behind.”
Sina, still unwilling to concede, said aningfully, “We are already deep within enemy territory. If the vanguard is replaced, we would be in a dire predicant.”
“Are you never going to stop?”
Hearing Sina’s veiled mockery, Loris bared his fangs, but eventually retracted them.
Though hot-tempered, Loris, as the alliance leader, knew now was not the ti for internal strife, facing the unknown ahead.
“Let Your Majesty of the Humans decide then.”
Having gained the upper hand, she glanced at Loris, saw fit to quit while ahead, and looked to Leo Ray.
“We, of course, also listen to Your Majesty of the Humans.”
Loris imdiately nodded, expressing his position.
Not only the two alliance leaders, but even Thomas, old Susan, Lannis, and other elders of the alliances had no objections and nodded in agreent.
Having averted a crisis that could have plunged the two alliances into peril and saved the lives of most present, Leo Ray had already earned their genuine respect.
Noticing the trusting glances cast his way, Leo Ray felt uncertain.
He knew that the vanguard’s role was not only to scout but also to detect magic traps, tasks of utmost importance.
Comparatively, his own strength was limited, making it obviously challenging to be the vanguard; assigning either alliance as vanguard could displease the other and potentially harm the upcoming battle. The remaining option was clear.
“Everyone, as the saying goes, many hands make light work. Let us select elite fighters and form the strongest vanguard team together.”
Leo Ray shared his thoughts, which imdiately garnered everyone’s support.
After that, a group of a hundred Tier 6 Experts was quickly chosen as the vanguard, forming a squad of our strongest elite, limited in number but formidable in skill.
As for the arrangent of other forces, under Leo Ray’s leadership, everyone soon devised perfect solutions, as most present were experienced battlefield commanders, achieving this with ease.
In addition, the other armies of the two alliances were deployed along the border areas shared with other second-tier powers, preventing the Witch Demon’s backers from exploiting any gaps.
Several Shadow Markets, under Leo Ray’s direction, secretly scouted various locations, ready to facilitate quick military movents for the two alliances at any ti.
“Now, only one matter remains.”
After organizing everything, Leo Ray nodded slightly and said, “That is the choice of commander.”
“It must be Your Majesty of the Humans.”
Loris laughed heartily, rushing to respond, “Without Your Majesty’s decisive intervention, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance would have long since beco a forbidden stronghold, let alone arrived here.”
“Indeed, I also believe Your Majesty of the Humans is the best choice.”
Sina nodded emphatically in agreent, having been saved by Leo Ray from deep underground, she had no objections.
“Then I shall graciously accept the role.”
Leo Ray did not decline, eager to take on the task.
