Shuert nodded emphatically and spoke to Leo Ray: "If we find the Desert Leader, we can indeed largely stop the Desert Grand Army's invasion."

"Your Majesty, the other side is probably going to pin the crime of attacking the Desert Leader and his people on us so that they can launch their attacks without restraint."

Hanel Tree pondered for a moment and agreed with a solemn expression.

"Indeed, it seems that rescuing the Desert Leader is urgent, and the place where the Desert Leader is imprisoned is obvious—it's Medusa's Holy Land. It seems I must personally make a trip."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, affirming their views.

"But Your Majesty, that Witch Demon is cunning, and many cities of Medusa are all in underground caverns. Not only can our Ice Stone City not teleport, but they are also easy to defend and difficult to attack, with extremely complex terrain. The grand army cannot breach it quickly, and we are unfamiliar with their terrain."

Cassie's face showed a trace of worry as she said, "Although you have successfully advanced to a double Tier 6 level, your strength far exceeds ordinary strong people of the same tier, it's too dangerous."

After Cassie finished speaking, Hanel Tree and Shuert nodded in agreement.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, I am the daughter of the leader of the Desert Catman Clan. As long as you hold my token, the Desert Catman Clan will definitely assist Your Majesty with all their strength!"

The Masked Man's voice became more urgent, hastily saying: "As for the terrain problem, Your Majesty need not worry. Medusa's Holy Land is right next to our territory, and the leader once told me a secret passage leading straight to the depths of the Holy Land, and I will tell all of it to Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, I know this will be an extremely dangerous journey, but only Your Majesty can save the leader, please help me, help the Desert Alliance!"

The Masked Man spoke as he once again got up and knelt, tears streaming down his face.

"I understand, this is not just for you, but also for myself."

Leo Ray looked at the tearing wound on the other party's arm, steadied them back on the bed, and nodded slightly: "Tell me everything you know."

Hearing this, the overjoyed Masked Man wasted no time and immediately revealed everything to Leo Ray, giving Leo Ray a pendant inlaid with a khaki gemstone as her token.

Just as the Masked Man finished speaking, Frost's urgent and tense voice rang out through Mind Talk.

"Report to the Lord, our administrator's emergency message states that Administrator K and Administrator L have both sent alarms: the Desert Alliance, including 30 Tier 4 Army of the Million Army, and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, also with 30 Tier 4 Army of the Million Army, are grandly advancing towards our Desolate Fortress and Echoing Fortress respectively!"

Upon hearing Frost's words, everyone on our side, including Leo Ray, took a deep, chilling breath, realizing that the situation was exactly as they had thought, having developed to the worst-case scenario.

However, Leo Ray had just dispatched Ice Stone City, transferring all our Tier 4 Army and a substantial portion of Tier 3 Legion here, increasing our total force to 80 Legions, including 70 Tier 3 Legion and 10 Tier 4 Army.

Yet even so, compared to the grand army of the Desert Alliance, the gap is still huge, with no hope of holding our ground—it's only a matter of time.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have only one task for you, and that is to be sure to stall the other party's steps here, otherwise, if they march straight in, our people will inevitably suffer horrors."

Leo Ray looked at Shuert, Hanel Tree, Cassie, and the newly arrived Broy, Fanny, Konet, and Bruno with a serious expression: "I know this will be an extremely difficult battle, but we have no other choice."

"As you command, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing Leo Ray's words, everyone nodded solemnly without hesitation.

"Very well, wait for my return."

Leo Ray nodded heavily at the determined expressions of everyone.

In response, everyone spoke in unison with concern on their faces: "Please be extremely careful, Your Majesty!"

"Rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Leo Ray nodded slightly, also saying: "As for Echoing Fortress of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance, I have my arrangements, you only need to guard this place."

After speaking, Leo Ray sped along, quickly reaching Echoing Fortress through Ice Stone City, explaining the situation to Jess and other Ancient Dark Elf generals stationed there.

At the same time, he ordered Ice Stone City to mobilize some of our troops from nearby fortresses over.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty of the Humans, if the people are here, the city is here."

Jess's face showed no waves, only nodding firmly.

"I will have Crisis and Nal lead 30 Tier 3 Legions to assist you, and also leave 40 Human Tier 3 Legions."

Leo Ray looked at Jess's steadfast expression and tightened his grip on his hand.

Afterward, Leo Ray made an extremely important deployment, dispatching a team of strong individuals deep into the Rainforest Fortress Alliance to find out what was happening.

After all, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance had not sent any news, and even Administrator L was at a loss because the other side had proactively cut off contact with the Shadow Market.

As for the specific members of the team, Leo Ray temporarily arranged to include Grey Elder, Yonir, and top strong individuals from the Mercenary Guild and Alchemist Guild, as well as a special member, Lina.

As Leo Ray's direct subordinate, this girl, although limited in strength, has a special identity from the Mandela Clan.

And though the Mandela Clan is weak in power, it is a member of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and can ultimately obtain some useful information, which is our only breakthrough point.

"Two old presidents and Lina, I leave everything to you."

In the command hall of Echoing Fortress, Leo Ray nodded at the team members, speaking seriously: "I will first have Ice Stone City secretly send you to Lina's hometown, be sure to quickly figure out the specific situation, and the whereabouts of Loris and others, if possible, be sure to find a way to prevent the enemy army from attacking us."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this battle concerns the life and death of our realm, even the fate of the entire Human race, the old minister will spare no effort!"

Grey Elder's wrinkled face was full of solemnity, nodding heavily: "Please also be extremely careful, Your Majesty!"

After Grey Elder spoke, Yonir and Lina also agreed, looking as if they were ready to face death without hesitation.

"Tonight will be the moment to decide our fate, even if we wander on the edge of death, we will never place our fate into the enemy's hands."

Leo Ray patted everyone's shoulder one by one, then waved and said: "Go! Our fate can only be in our own hands!"

Following this, Grey Elder and others quickly left Echoing Fortress through Ice Stone City, while Leo Ray encouraged morale within the fortress and waited for Ice Stone City's return.

After a short while, when Ice Stone City returned, Leo Ray entered through the city gate.

In this process, Leo Ray briefly described the current situation to Ariel Watson, who was inwardly worried, even trembling slightly with concern, but still managed to speak calmly, assuring Leo Ray to proceed and that she would guard the rear.

For Ariel Watson clearly understood that the man she was speaking to would be our only hope of grasping the light of victory.

And as Leo Ray went all out and started his operations, far away on the other end, in a dark and hidden mist, the Lich Leader with a decomposition of dark tattoos raged with murderous intent, his withered face was full of gloom: "The net is already deployed, the insignificant Humans, whether you are the Emperor of the Humans or some Otherworldly Lord, you will surely die this time!"

With that, the Lich Leader's ghastly, corpse-like face twisted and deformed, beginning to laugh maniacally.
