Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 735: Chapter 490: Prelude to the Fortress Defense Battle_1

In a short moment, when the ground rose again, numerous neatly arranged magic cannon turrets appeared before Leo Ray.

At a glance, he saw that these white crystal turrets were arranged in a scattered yet orderly fashion, spanning several rows from one end of the city wall to the other, looking quite spectacular.

“So that’s it, the magic cannon turrets hidden inside the fortress? It’s quite an interesting contraption indeed.”

Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

That being said, he had spent some time learning about these magic cannon turrets recently.

While turrets are not strictly necessary for magic cannons with perfect support functionality, the Memory Crystal used as a material for them can protect the cannon and slightly increase its power.

Moreover, when a magic cannon is mounted on a turret made of this lattice-like shape-shifting Memory Crystal, it will automatically and perfectly integrate the cannon. However, it won’t react to anything other than a magic cannon.

“According to Linda, the Memory Crystals can resonate with the enhanced magic array on magic cannons and achieve a perfect fit,” said Leo Ray, nodding thoughtfully. “These turrets on the fortress’s city wall seem no different than those in my territory, and I instructed Linda to obtain the Memory Crystals for the turrets from the Sanders’ Trading Conference.”

“That being said, although Memory Crystals are expensive, their prices are negligible compared to the astronomical costs of magic cannons themselves. Therefore, using them as a material for the turrets is undoubtedly the best option.”

As Leo Ray thought about it, he quickly installed Tier 2 Fire Magic Cannons—which were already equipped with Demon Energy Luminous Crystals—onto the turrets under Lord White’s supervision.

In no time at all, a total of 300 Fire Magic Cannons appeared before everyone present.

At a glance, the black cannon bodies—perfectly integrated with the white crystals—reflected a cold matte light under the bright moonlight, eliciting gasps of admiration from nearby Coldflame soldiers.

Even Ariel Watson, who had been following Leo Ray, couldn’t help but react similarly.

It’s worth noting that a single Tier 2 Magic Cannon costs at least 1 million Gold Dragons.

As such, one can only imagine the massive cost involved in acquiring 300 of such cannons.

Most importantly, the addition of these cannons will undoubtedly propel the fortress’s firepower to new heights!

For a moment, eyes filled with excitement and awe constantly turned towards Leo Ray’s position.

Meanwhile, the three Mage Squads who had been assigned as gunners, quickly got acquainted with their positions and adjusted the angles under the command of their respective commanders.

Their adept movements clearly demonstrated their abundant combat experience.

“Your Excellency, thank you for your efforts!”

After all the magic cannons had been adjusted and hidden once again, Lord White’s face was filled with excitement as he said, “I never thought I’d see the day when all the magic cannon turrets in this mountain fortress would be filled with magic cannons once more!”

“It’s just a small matter, not worth mentioning,” Leo Ray replied with a faint smile.

On the other hand, Lord White shook his head helplessly, “I must say, Your Excellency, that due to the continuous wars at the Unfallen Fortress in the far north of the kingdom, most of the magic cannons from this place had been relocated there previously.”

“The Unfallen Fortress in the far north, huh?”

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had heard about this place several times before.

According to the intelligence he had gathered, the commander there was Coldflame’s Third Princess, Ariel Watson’s older sister.

“The information suggests that besides being well-versed in combat, this person has no interest in matters like the throne. She joined the battlefield when Ariel was still young. It is said that her strength surpasses most of the kingdom’s generals, making her an absolutely ruthless character.

Thinking of this, an image of a muscular Barbie Diamond appeared in Leo Ray’s mind, and he continued pondering, “Forget it, even though I’m curious, it’s best to focus on the upcoming battle at hand.”

Subsequently, through his conversation with Lord White, Leo Ray learned that Burt and Joshua were handling security within the fortress and logistic support respectively, while Ariel stayed on the front lines with Lord White to boost the morale of the soldiers.

Of course, Leo Ray, who had made thorough preparations, would also remain in this central position to oversee the overall situation.

Just as they finished discussing everything, the urgent sound of Mind Talk rang out once again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After connecting, Stella Clark’s somewhat shy voice sounded in Leo Ray’s ear, “Reporting to Lord, the enemy has gathered their forces at a camp ahead and is marching towards our fortress grandly!”

“I see, they’re finally coming, huh?”

Closing the Mind Talk, Leo Ray stood on the towering city wall, his gaze ultimately falling on the distant mountains and forests.
