Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong-Chapter 2047 - 1147: Lord, Sand Table, and New Deployments_2

Chapter 2047: Chapter 1147: Lord, Sand Table, and New Deployments_2

Antonio did not hesitate for a moment, and responded: "Your Royal Highness Prince, are you considering using Gannon the Ninth, our common enemy, to take the initiative and offer assistance to bring the other party closer to us?"

"However, given their intelligence, both understand the principle of exchanging one evil for another; if they accept the help of Your Royal Highness Prince, even if the Temple of Light is finally driven away, the Pars Empire will still be restricted by Your Highness. They certainly would never agree to cooperate with Your Highness Prince."

On discussing this point, Antonio quickly added: "Of course, that’s if they fail to recognize a good deal, I certainly won’t blindly ignore the facts!"

"I understand the meaning of Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency."

Leo Ray casually picked up the command stick from the large sand table, playing with it idly, and continued: "But what if I’m not the one to first offer the olive branch, but they find themselves with no way out, trapped in a dead end?"

"Your Royal Highness Prince, do you mean to first provoke an unavoidable confrontation between the Temple of Light and them, allowing the ruthless tactics of the Temple of Light to easily deal with them both? When they find themselves with nowhere to turn, they will naturally bow to Your Highness at your feet!"

Antonio immediately grasped Leo Ray’s meaning and seized the opportunity to flatter him: "After all, under the heavens, only Your Royal Highness Prince dares to face off against the Temple of Light! Unprecedented and unmatched in history! You truly deserve the title, Your Royal Highness Prince. This strategy is incredible!"

"That’s exactly what I want you to do."

Leo Ray put down the command stick and smiled: "Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency, I assume you know what to do?"

"With Your Royal Highness Prince’s guidance, I already have a plan in mind."

Antonio smiled knowingly and responded: "To not conceal anything from Your Highness, currently Cecilia and Barnet have led the main forces to the west to confront the Ironhand Archipelago. I’m staying in the Imperial City under the guise of injury to await Your Highness’s reply."

"I’m not particularly skilled, but with my strength, as long as I appear weak, no one in the Imperial City can detect anything, though naturally, I can’t fool the discerning eye of Your Highness Prince, and I would never play tricks before Your Highness."

The old magician certainly wouldn’t miss any chance to express loyalty or flatter Leo Ray and continued: "It’s quite embarrassing to mention that as for the target Chief Archbishop Adair mentioned in my letter, after the Pars Army retreated, he returned to the main temple of the Temple of Light, and only returned to the Imperial City last night, so I haven’t had the chance to assassinate him yet."

"However, it’s just as well to thank the Temple of Light for not giving me the chance to assassinate Adair timely."

Antonio chuckled and continued: "It is heard that Adair is about to set off as a royal envoy to the region where Cecilia and Barnet are located. As long as I casually reveal a few discontented and suspicious remarks those two have about the Emperor and Adair, he will surely report these to Gannon the Ninth."

"After Adair heads to his destination, I will secretly follow, seize the opportunity to assassinate him, and leave some ’clues’ for other priests of the Temple of Light to discover. Naturally, Gannon the Ninth will suspect Cecilia and Barnet."

"Though I lack talents, despite being stuck at the peak of Tier 5, summoning a golem puppet to mimic Cecilia and Barnet’s specialties and moves is still effortless."

"At that time, Gannon the Ninth will certainly retaliate and order the old emperor to take away their military power and send people to hunt them down."

"However, with Your Royal Highness Prince’s Grand Army pointing at their old nest, even Gannon the Ninth will prioritize defending his nest and won’t send too many elite powerhouses."

"By doing this, coupled with the life-saving cards held by Cecilia and Barnet, even if defeated, escaping will be effortless, and Your Highness just has to wait for them to willingly submit to your command."

After hearing Antonio’s detailed plan, Leo Ray nodded satisfactorily, and praised: "Worthy indeed of Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency, your actions are truly trustworthy."

"Hehe, Your Royal Highness Prince is too kind."

Having gained approval from Leo Ray, Antonio felt quite delighted, and immediately volunteered: "Please rest assured, Your Highness Prince, I will always observe from the shadows; if they indeed cannot withstand, I will personally intervene, chanting Your Highness Prince’s great name, guiding them towards light!"

"Then it’s settled; we’ll await the good news from Chief Magic Teacher."

Leo Ray looked over the Pars Empire on the sand table and gently raised his eyebrows.

As long as Antonio, Cecilia, and Barnet are under control, the entire Pars Empire is already in my grasp.

Of course, the premise is successfully defeating Gannon the Ninth. freēnovelkiss.com

And Leo Ray’s intention is not only to pave the way for the future.

Most importantly, currently both Cecilia and Barnet are prepared to counterattack Catherine’s garrison.

While Catherine’s main forces are constantly ready in the central region of Grim, prepared to assist in attacking the Holy City.

If the Pars Empire’s counterattack grand army continues to advance triumphantly, Catherine’s forces will be encircled from both sides, leading to instability in military morale, which will undoubtedly affect our overall deployment.

The implication is self-evident.

Simply using the Temple of Light to cause Cecilia and Barnet to lose their general position.

At least in the short term, without their generalship, the Pars Army will have a hard time launching an effective attack. This is enough to buy us time to wholeheartedly confront Gannon the Ninth.

"Rest assured, Your Highness Prince, I will do my utmost and will never let Your Highness Prince down!"

Antonio’s solemn response soon echoed in Leo Ray’s ears.

The old magician understood clearly, as this was his pledged status, naturally rubbing his fists, appearing full of energy.

"Very well, carry on, I will be waiting for the good news from Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, and then spoke to the Half-Elf Ancestor: "Jasper Richardson, you can come back now."

"As you command, Lord."

Jasper Richardson’s respectful voice immediately came through to Leo Ray’s ears.

"Your Royal Highness Prince, how should I contact Your Highness Prince?"

Antonio’s eager, aged voice came over again.

"Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency need not worry, I’ve already prepared."

Leo Ray smiled lightly and instructed: "Jasper Richardson, hand those things to Chief Magic Teacher Your Excellency."

What Leo Ray referred to were rare magical communication scrolls, which Lawrence had recently obtained from some loyal Grim nobles, and completely helped Leo Ray advance from Tier 4 to Tier 5.

These magical communication scrolls are paired, and once activated, the other will react, achieving remote communication just like a walkie-talkie.

Through various practices, Leo Ray discovered.

The effective distance of these Tier 5 communication scrolls is extremely long, and once activated, they can enable conversations for several days, hardly different from mind talk, perfect for non-subordinates’ contact tools.

Of course, what Leo Ray instructed Jasper Richardson to give were just one of the pair.

As for the other, Leo Ray put them all at Asher Porter’s place, and once there’s news, Asher will notify Leo Ray immediately.

With Antonio’s respectful farewell voice, Leo Ray closed mind talk and couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

Initially, he had been pondering how to slow down the Pars Army’s counterattack and alleviate Catherine’s pressure; everything seemed to be resolved now.

"As per the predetermined plan, all conceivable trump cards have either been prepared or are being prepared, now it’s time for full focus on the showdown with Gannon the Ninth."

Leo Ray’s sight shifted on the sand table, fixing on the central region of Grim, his eyes sharp and gleaming.
