"Thank you all for your support."

Looking at the resolute faces of the catman warriors before him, Leo Ray took a deep breath. With the support of this fresh army, his confidence in rescuing Sina undoubtedly increased significantly.

Feeling buoyed in his heart, Leo Ray watched as Lannis began deploying troops, and couldn't help but question, "Lord Clan Leader, do you trust me that much?"

"Being able to gain the support of so many forces from the Outer Region already demonstrates that Your Majesty of the Humans is no ordinary individual."

Lannis clearly retained a considerable level of respect for Leo Ray and replied, "Moreover, Your Majesty is the one Emily entrusted everything to. Though that girl has a mischievous personality, she is cautious and insightful in her actions and is quite perceptive in judging people. Someone she trusts is naturally someone the Catman Clan trusts."

As Lannis finished speaking, the female elder approached, furrowing her brows, "Clan Leader, from the depths of the minds of those demon wolf warriors over the months, we indeed found some footage of Lucas interacting with the witch demon. However, these individuals have low status and are merely responsible for peripheral defense, unaware of what sort of agreement Lucas actually reached with the other party."

"It's no matter; this alone is sufficient. Your Majesty said it right; the priority is to rescue the leader promptly."

With a wave of his hand, Lannis commanded, "Mobilize all available nearby forces to assist Your Majesty in advancing toward the Holy Land of Medusa!"

Before long, a formidable army assembled under the night sky outside the magnificent Catman capital. Through Lannis's introduction, Leo Ray learned that there were a total of 20 Tier 3 Legions and 2 Tier 4 Legions here.

The desert region where the catmen reside is complex, with villages and points scattered across. Many soldiers are distributed randomly, and a substantial portion has been dispatched to defend against neighboring second-tier powers, making this all the troops that can be assembled.

During this process, Leo Ray revealed Ice Stone City, and its massive silhouette flickered in the night, leaving Lannis and the others in awe.

After all, in the minds of most warriors, only the Shadow Market could drive such a grand Divine Favor Land left by the deity.

Leo Ray, however, smiled wryly and motioned for Lannis to lead the troops into the city. Normally, Leo Ray wouldn't show Ice Stone City so casually, especially when only the top-tier 10 Human Clan Tier 3 Legions and dozens of weary Tier 2 Legions remained inside, leaving the defense rather empty. But given the urgent situation, there was no choice.

Only with Ice Stone City's instant teleportation can our side reach Medusa's Holy Land at the fastest speed without being detected by the opposition in advance.

Soon, as the army entered Ice Stone City, the whole city disappeared from its original location.

The night spread, stars twinkled, and when Ice Stone City reappeared, it was already in the endless desert center.

Standing on the city wall, looking around, there was only a sea of sand in sight, with the wind howling everywhere. Only a small oasis appeared in front of the city, standing out starkly.

However, the whole oasis emanated a natural vibe, with no buildings present and no signs of life, appearing peaceful.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, that's where Medusa's Sacred Land is located."

Lannis pointed to the oasis ahead and introduced to Leo Ray, "Medusa's cities are mostly deep underground in the desert and are as intricate as ant nests, so more precisely, our destination is beneath the ground."

"Understood. According to the information provided by Emily, the passage leading to the depths of the Holy Land is right there."

After observing for a moment, Leo Ray pointed to a rock beside a circular lake in the oasis center and nodded, "Let's head out then."

"Wait, Your Majesty of the Humans, we desert-catman have a saying: the more peaceful a place in the desert, the more deadly danger it hides."

Lannis's ears twitched, intuitively sensing the surroundings, then nodded solemnly to Leo Ray, "Your Majesty, please instant teleport the city slightly forward by a hundred meters."

"Understood."

Leo Ray slightly nodded, then signaled to Elder Bing beside him.

In the blink of an eye, when Ice Stone City reappeared, Leo Ray was surprised to find the oasis no longer appeared with natural scenery but instead a heavily fortified fortress stood on the oasis.

"It turns out everything was merely hidden by illusion just now."

Leo Ray watched the giant serpent flag on the opponent's towering walls and frowned deeply; it was evidently Medusa's emblem. As for the lake earlier, it was now surrounded by the fortress and completely out of sight.

However, it was clearly visible that the entire fortress was constructed of sand, and faint magic fluctuations emanated from it, indicating it was temporarily built with City Building Skill.

"No wonder Emily didn't mention this fortress; it seems the other side indeed made significant preparations."

Leo Ray closely observed the Medusa soldiers guarding the walls, tightening his brows. It seemed inevitable that a battle would be required to smoothly enter the fortress.

"Your Majesty of the Humans, since this is a temporarily constructed magic structure, it certainly lacks a sturdy Absolute Defense Barrier. If we concentrate our firepower, breaking the opponent's defense shouldn't be difficult."

After observing for a moment, Lannis nodded and told Leo Ray, "Once the Absolute Defense Barrier breaks, the opponent will be much less threatening. Additionally, based on the fortress's size, the stationed Medusa probably doesn't exceed 5 Legions, likely without any Tier 4 Legions. After all, Medusa's Tier 4 Legions are all directly under Sina's command, and Belinda's position isn't stable enough to mobilize that force here."

"But Clan Leader, although that's claimable, we hurried over lacking siege weapons like Magic Cannons."

The white-haired elder of the catman clan furrowed his brows and reminded, "To the entirely Magic Type powerful Medusa, us predominantly Physical-Type catmen are indeed superior in number but not overwhelmingly in magic capability."

Through Lannis's introduction, Leo Ray learned that this white-haired elder is the Grand Elder of the Catman Clan,

"Please do not worry, Your Excellency, Grand Elder. Although my main force isn't here, we have enough Magic Cannons, and my elite soldiers are all mages."

Leo Ray smiled faintly, looking towards the well-prepared Human Clan soldiers.

The remaining ten Tier 3 Legions I have are indeed the Human Clan's most elite Magic Legions, and they are also my primary targets to cultivate into Tier 4 Legions.

However, even with ample supply of precious Magic Medicine, advancing the soldiers, who are mostly at Tier 3 One-Star, to Tier 4 still requires time and is certainly not an easy overnight feat; thus, they remain at Tier 3.

"Then we'll mainly rely on Your Majesty's Magic Cannons and Human Clan soldiers."

Lannis nodded heavily and began deploying troops with Leo Ray.

During this process, the catman's Grand Elder initially intended to remind Leo Ray that Human Clan's Lower Tier Magic Cannons might likely be ineffective, as High Tier Magic Cannons were undoubtedly defending borders against the alliance army.

However, when Human Clan soldiers quickly set up thousands of Tier 3 and above Magic Cannons, the catman's Grand Elder was astonished, as such a quantity of Magic Cannons are something only the alliance's main force could possibly bring out.

In addition, the well-trained Human Clan's soldiers also greatly surprised the catman officers, as with regards to Tier 3 Magic Legion, these Human Clan soldiers were even more proficient than them! This was hardly the weak Human Clan but rather a force that commanded immense respect!

"Alright, let's swiftly conclude this."

Once everything was quickly set up, Leo Ray didn't hesitate, directly issuing the command to attack.
