Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong-Chapter 2040 - 1144: Unfallen Fortress and the Land of Divine Favor

"Old master, what’s wrong?"

Leo Ray immediately noticed the change in Elder Bing’s expression and couldn’t help but ask curiously.

"To be frank with Your Excellency, if I were at the peak of my Seventh Stage and nine-star period, I would definitely not fear that Temple of Light. Unfortunately, now I am just a remnant energy body that clings to the core of life force; my strength is only a fraction of what it used to be, and I must depend on Ice Stone City to exist, unable to leave the ice castle too far."

A trace of melancholy appeared again on Elder Bing’s old face as he replied, "The most crucial point is, although the magical central core of Ice Stone City wasn’t damaged and has already been reactivated with Your Excellency’s help, most of the Energy Convergence Array is severely damaged."

"This means the energy replenishment for Ice Stone City is exceedingly slow, and I share its energy, further limiting my capability."

Elder Bing’s face showed even more melancholy, he helplessly said: "Otherwise, when we faced the Pars Empire’s grand army days ago, we wouldn’t have fallen into such a passive situation."

Elder Bing shook his head, growing more helpless as he spoke: "I apologize to Your Excellency for not being able to fully exert my abilities to repay your kindness for saving me."

"Old master, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. Had it not been for your fierce battle against the Pars Army and capturing that Crown Prince, our casualties would have been even more severe."

Leo Ray solemnly nodded, then smiled, "All of this is due to your accomplishments, old master."

"Your Excellency praises too highly."

Upon hearing this, the despondency on Elder Bing’s old face dissipated somewhat, and he waved his hand.

"Old master, you must have seen Shirley and those Heroic Spirits. If you could manifest through the Lion King Temple, wouldn’t you be able to detach from Ice Stone City and freely move?"

Seeing Elder Bing’s expression slightly relaxed, Leo Ray went straight to the point by describing Shirley’s reappearance process to him.

"To be frank with Your Excellency, actually, I have considered this point early on, but it’s likely difficult to achieve in my case."

Elder Bing’s grey eyebrows furrowed slightly as he sighed in response: "There are two difficulties."

"First, though my body was once demigod-like, and the core of life isn’t as strong as it once was, it is still richer and more substantial than ordinary strong beings, making it tough to find a suitable vessel to bear the core of life force."

"Secondly, I have learned that although the Lion King Temple offers exceptional functionality, it likely cannot entirely reflect my demigod strength and might even damage the temple from overloading, which would be a loss outweighing the gain."

Upon hearing Elder Bing’s words, Shirley nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "Lord, the old master makes sense. The Lion King Temple was constructed drawing inspiration from sketches of the Ancient Human Empire by the Cold Flame Hero King, but ultimately, it is a product of the Era of Blankness, indeed difficult to bear a demigod’s core of life force."

"So that’s how it is, I understand now."

Upon hearing this, Leo Ray ponderously nodded.

According to Shirley’s initial description, Leo Ray hadn’t held much hope to begin with.

After all, the vessel is exceptionally difficult to find; it’s said that only Tier 5 and beyond alchemists, knowledgeable in suitable crafting methods, can forge it.

But even if this path is not viable, other paths might be accessible.

Thinking of it, Leo Ray again queried Elder Bing: "Old master, is there any other way for you to detach from Ice Stone City or restore your strength?"

"To be frank with Your Excellency, although I haven’t yet figured out a specific method, as long as the core of life force remains intact, everything is possible."

Elder Bing nodded to Leo Ray, speaking earnestly: "I believe, as Your Excellency continues to advance, I will one day return to my peak and become an indispensable part in Your Excellency’s camp!"

"Thank you for your trust, old master, I will continue to try my best."

Leo Ray bowed slightly, and then disclosed his intention to seek new assets to Elder Bing.

"Your Excellency, I already have some plans in mind."

Elder Bing’s old eyes sparkled, speaking outright: "This certainly will further enhance our strength."

"Please enlighten us, old master."

Leo Ray’s black eyes shone brightly, quickly asked.

"Your Excellency, remember what I just mentioned? Although Ice Stone City’s city magical central core wasn’t damaged, the Energy Convergence Arrays strewn around the city are severely damaged."

Without hesitation, Elder Bing responded: "If a way could be found to repair these Energy Convergence Arrays, not only would the strength of Ice Stone City’s Absolute Defense Barrier be greatly increased, but the energy I could mobilize would increase accordingly."

Elder Bing spoke more and more excitedly, continuing: "More importantly, it might be possible to find a way for Ice Stone City to break through the snow-covered cold area’s constraints and move to other broader regions!"

"This indeed is a more feasible solution!"

Leo Ray suddenly understood, nodding enthusiastically with an expression full of excitement.

Let’s set aside other matters, if Ice Stone City could indeed break through the constraints of Snow Domain and directly move to the current situation at the central region of Grim, it would undoubtedly play a crucial role for our side.

This would mean that our side could deploy soldiers from other regions according to the needs of the battle, directly investing them in the core battlefield, achieving quick troop transportation.

Moreover, Ice Stone City, which could easily accommodate a Million Army, could serve as a mobile logistics base, greatly enhancing our combat efficiency in terms of supply and treatment.
