Chapter 600: Chapter 426: Dissonance Filled Ancient Ruins_1
Looking at the source of the noise, Leo Ray noticed.
Several teams of rangers dexterously clad in leather armor and wielding shortbows quickly emerged from the bushes.
First, they saluted City Lord Asher Porter respectfully and then led away the horses of everyone present.
These rangers were all at least Tier 2 level. Judging by the Viennas City emblem carved on their leather armor, they were undoubtedly soldiers under Asher’s command.
Most importantly, before stepping out of the dense forest, these rangers showed no signs of energy fluctuations on their bodies.
It wasn’t hard to conclude that the dense forest must be arranged with some kind of hidden magic array.
Seeing this unexpected scene, knights like Tina and Layne beside Leo couldn’t help but show a slightly surprised expression.
Only Leo Ray remained calm and composed.
Just a short time ago, when the horse team started moving towards this location.
Serena and Stella, hidden in the dark, had sped up their pace, investigating the dense forest and reporting the situation to Leo Ray.
Therefore, all of this was naturally under their control.
“This location is situated in the middle and rear part of the mountain basin, forming a triangular defense pattern with the other two fortresses, making it very convenient for mutual support.”
“Moreover, the soldiers in the dense forest are elite forces. It seems that the real entrance to the ancient ruins is undoubtedly here.”
Just as Leo Ray thought about that.
On the other side, Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City adjusted his blue magic robe and then turned around with a smile. “Mr. Christopher, please follow me. The destination is not far ahead, and I believe you will be amazed.”
At the same time, Gael nearby subtly nodded towards Leo Ray, indicating that there were no dangers ahead.
“Oh? Then I shall trouble you, Your Excellency City Lord.”
Seeing this, Leo also smiled faintly, and then, accompanied by ten knights and Taylor, Red Night and Gideon Black hidden in the dark, he began to move forward.
Like this, stepping on the ground mixed with leaves and mud, they entered the dense forest full of luxuriant branches and leaves.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes among the towering trees and twisted vines, a small earthen fortress in the forest appeared in front of Leo Ray.
Around this fortress stood a large number of elite Tier 2 soldiers from Viennas City, approximately three middle teams in size.
Among them, there were also the auras of seven or eight Tier 3 Senior Level experts.
These elite soldiers had sharp eyes, and their already unsheathed weapons, flashing with a cold glint, shone brilliantly under the sunlight, all in a battle-ready state.
At the front of the team was an old mage in an earth-yellow robe, holding a wooden staff. Judging by his aura, he had definitely reached the Tier 3 Peak Level.
Noticing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly.
From the current situation, in order to guard against the mysterious organization’s attacks.
Asher Porter, the Lord of Viennas City, had undoubtedly deployed most of the city’s elite forces here.
As for the ordinary defense force, it was estimated to be a sizeable force of three to four thousand based on their previous observations.
In addition, according to Kelsey’s investigation, under Asher’s heavy financial incentives and earnest pleas,
the three Tier 4 Level elderly Great Mage mercenaries and other powerful mercenaries who had appeared at the auction were all stationed and recuperating in the city, ready to provide support at any time.
Considering all of this, they had undoubtedly made the maximum preparations for defense.
At this moment, Leo Ray’s gaze moved, sizing up the small fortress in the forest, while continuing to ponder.
In addition to the above factors, there was also the sudden intervention of Leo Ray himself, who had revealed his identity as a member of the Coldflame Royal Family, causing the other party to be somewhat cautious.
As a result, even if the mysterious organization wanted to take action again, they would have to be much more cautious.
Just as Leo Ray thought about this, on the other side, Asher waved his hand, first signaling the earth-robed mage in front of him to approach.
Then he introduced him to Leo Ray, “Mr. Christopher, this is our Viennas City’s Chief Archaeologist, Master Calvin.”
At this point, Asher gently patted the old mage’s shoulder.
He continued, “When Master Calvin was young, he served in the Royal Ancient Ruins Exploration Division and possesses extensive archaeological experience and a vast knowledge of ancient history. He will assist us in exploring the ruins together.”
“Hehe, Your Excellency, you are too kind. I am just a man who has traveled more roads than others.”
The old mage named Calvin bowed slightly and replied with a proud smile.
“In that case, we’ll be relying on Master Calvin.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded to the old mage, “With Master Calvin’s guidance, I believe our exploration of the relics will be more efficient.”
“Hehe, Mr. Christopher, you are too polite. It is an honor for me to explore the ruins with such an outstanding young noble.”
On the other side, Calvin stroked his gray beard and responded with a grin.
After exchanging pleasantries with him for a few moments,
Leo Ray’s gaze shifted back to the tall earthen fortress in front of him, and he turned to Asher Porter with a smile, “Your Excellency City Lord, is it time to show us the true face of the ruins now? Everyone is getting quite impatient.”
