These beings were entirely dissimilar to the celestial beings that Bayou had encountered before.
While angels often emanate an aura of sanctity and inviability, these fallen angels exuded an essence of malevolence and forboding.
It was no wonder that Lee Lingsy referred to her troops as calamity incarnate.
Should the other lords become aware of the nature of the three present, it would likely incite their wrath.
Leelings did not possess the aloofness that Bayou had initially perceived.
Rather, her demeanor towards Bayou was quite amiable.
As by you and Lee Lingy clasp hands, they both felt an inexplicable chill.
Neither could discern warmth emanating from the others grasp.
I am by you, she introduced herself.
Meanwhile, Du Yang observed the assembly of fallen angels with keen interest, aware that he stood among peers of the highest caliber.
Why do you choose to assist her? Du Yang inquired, his gaze fixed on Leeling as a sense of interconnected fate enveloped the trio.
Angel Leelingi, her tone markedly different from her warmth towards Bayou.
Du Yang, unfazed, acknowledged her as a worthy ally.
Leeling commanded eight elite fallen angels, akin to Du Yangs 12 demons, both possessing the potential for divinity.
Presently, three among them were of royal caliber.
However, unlike Du Yang, Leel Lingi could summon additional ordinary fallen angels, utilizing their abilities to corrupt and dominate various races.
In terms of sheer numbers, Lee Lingi surpassed Du Yong.
Yet, she had chosen to bring only her own troops, 3,000 fallen angels.
As the trio grew more acquainted, Bayou resolved to disclose her plans to them.
Before doing so, however, she made her way to the bedroom, seeking out Inshi.
Bayou slipped her icy hand beneath the covers.
A so cold, Ini jolted awake, sitting upright.
Let us go.
We haven tea had enough rest in the cave.
Inshi was not genuinely yearning for sleep.
The comfort of Bayou<unk>s chamber was simply too inviting, lulling one into a state of drowsiness.
Bayou led Inshi outside the castle.
"Is this your sister?" Du Yang inquired, eyeing the petite girl with a cascade of white hair, even smaller than Bayou.
This is a local friend of mine, also of royal caliber.
Her role will be pivotal.
In she perked up, her ears twitching as she raised her little head.
Bayou then shared her strategy with the three.
Upon hearing it, Duang quickly discerned a flaw in the plan.
Though you possess stealth devices, does your castle not lack defenders? What if it gets discovered? Bayou gestured towards the 25 undead stationed at the castle entrance, who immediately exuded a formidable presence in response.
25 royal level.
Duang exclaimed, "Wait, they are pseudo royal level.
Your castle must house a unique structure for elevation.
Despite their ascension to royal status, they lack domains.
" Duang immediately sensed that something was a miss.
Yet, the 25 pseudo king level guardians were undoubtedly capable of fulfilling their duty to protect the fortress.
After all, apart from these elite lords, there was not a single king level among the others.
If the opposing side possessed a king level adept in speed and stealth, there would indeed be some risk involved.
Leeling Se also cautioned as the adversar's objective was clear to seize the fortress's crystal.
However, she believed that the fortress fortified with a shield defensive mechanisms in the presence of 25 pseudo king level guardians was entirely secure.
She merely suggested a possibility.
Bayou snapped his fingers and the four statues at the entrance of the castle began to tremble, debris falling away as their eyes ignited with light.
The gargoyless unfurled their wings and sprang back to life.
Each of the four gargoyles emanated an astonishing aura, unleashing their domains.
Du Yang and Lee Lingsy were takenback.
Each gargoyle, when considered individually, surpassed any present individual in strength.
Moreover, their combined might was by us true trump card.
Each gargoyle was at least a king level, and they estimated that none were below level three.
Du Yang even speculated that if Byu were to defend the fortress against the enemy, victory would not be guaranteed for them.
Indeed, none of the top tier lords were to be underestimated.
Not every lord could be provoked with impunity.
Let's proceed.
I shall lead the way.
The four ascended into the sky, heading towards Sun Shia Sha<unk>s fortress with the army following closely behind.
Soon they arrived at Sun Shia Sha<unk>s castle, intending to rest momentarily, for the night was long, and they could not linger in the marshes until dawn.
This formation is effective.
A king level would hardly notice it, and a commander level would never uncover it.
Ley remarked while examining the alchemical array.
How is it that there's a lord so close to you and yet you failed to eliminate him bet she is still but a child and is now proving her worth.
This intelligence was also provided by her undercover efforts.
He added the three stood outside the castle gazing towards the marsh to the south even in the darkness.
Leeling and Du Yang could discern the chilling sight of the undead army within.
Illuminated by the crimson moonlight.
After this encounter, we will officially enter the sights of all lords, standing in opposition to them all.
And so what? Our units will be exposed as well.
And we will face the same scrutiny as by you.
The undead are already a calamity.
Demons find angels.
It would be best to strike a decisive blow against them as it would compel them to behave.
Duang asserted confidently.
With 14 king level warriors alongside three lords and inshi, they totaled 18.
Du Yong doubted that such formidable power could be assembled among the lords.
No, what I mean is that this alliance can endure.
What do you think, Bayou? Leeling turned her gaze to Bayou.
I believe it can, he replied.
By you could already envision future scenarios.
Having an ally was indeed preferable to fighting alone.
Moreover, the castles of the three individuals are situated in three distinct continents, allowing for uninterrupted development and greater advantages.
Ultimately, in a unanimous decision, they named their alliance the Alliance of Light, symbolizing a promising future.
As the clock struck midnight, Bayou felt it was time to proceed.
"Inshi, we can set off now," she declared, only to receive no response.
Turning around, she discovered that in she was no longer present.
"By you, why is this bedroom in such disarray? Inshi suddenly reappeared before Bayou, having evidently heard her previous remarks, such as the nature of things.
In the end, Bayou watched as Enshi departed from Sun Shia Xiao<unk>s castle, soaring towards the snowcapped mountains.
Chapter 205.
Withdrawal from the Alliance on the other side.
The members of the Sunset Alliance, led by Calvin and the Justice Alliance, headed by Nyaken, had also spent the night in wakefulness, diligently reaching out to other members in preparation.
Nyakian's four allies were Kylin, known as the overlord's son-in-law, Jeang Sanha, the bald one, Elzian, the blue giant, and Jang Yi, the sky sovereign.
Each of them commanded formidable forces, titan, behemoth, troll, and rock dragon.
All possessing royal level combat prowess.
Individually, any one of them could rank among the top lords, let alone when united as an alliance of five prominent leaders.
This formidable strength emboldened Nia Exine and her companions to confront Bayou, who as another top lord would inevitably become their adversary.
They resolved to eliminate this potential threat before she could fully mature.
Nia Exion's decision garnered unanimous support from all members.
They could allow themselves to grow powerful, but none could rival their might.
While some races were sworn enemies, such animosities did not impede the relationships between lords.
