Chapter 595: Chapter 423: Double Threat_1
After saying goodbye to City Lord Tran of Firsdale City,
Leo Ray led Taylor and Red Night, the two Tier 5 Powerhouses, as well as Gideon Black, Scarlett, Serena Clark, and Stella Clark, the four Tier 4 Powerhouses, along with Bianca White, Abigail, and Amelia, the three Tier 3 Pinnacle Powerhouses.
A total of ten people went straight to Viennas City, located on the other side of the Pine Sound Range.
As for Joshua Bingaman, who had already advanced to a Tier 4 Powerhouse, he returned to the Demonic Shadow Forest Territory to continue refining the Qi Condensing Pills and guarding the territory.
Thus, amidst the continuous mountains and dense forests, they rushed forward like the wind and lightning.
Before long, accompanied by the “whooshing” sound of breaking through the air,
under the lead of Taylor and Red Night, the group of ten crossed through the mountains and returned to the vast plains.
“Not bad at all, compared to before, our team’s movement speed has increased significantly,”
At this point, Leo Ray, who was riding on a white giant wolf at the center of the group, nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, the reason their team could reduce a normal 10-day carriage journey to just about two hours was:
Firstly, the main force under Leo Ray’s command was incredibly fast.
Secondly, Taylor, who always led the charge at high speed, activated an Energy Barrier.
This formed a streamlined shield similar to a satellite’s head, greatly reducing air resistance and other impacts during the advancement of other team members.
With this and the energy tailwind formed by Taylor’s rapid movement,
the subordinates behind him not only reduced their own energy consumption, but also increased the team’s original movement speed.
After all, as a Tier 5 Powerhouse, the vast energy contained within Taylor was far greater than that of the other main forces.
As a result, Taylor’s overall energy consumption during high-speed movement was even lower than that of other main forces.
Now, with Taylor and Red Night, the two Tier 5 Powerhouses leading the charge together, the resistance during the team’s movement was further reduced.
As a result, the team’s overall movement speed naturally increased once again.
Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this,
Viennas City’s banners were already faintly visible in the distance between the blue sky and the green plains as the team advanced.
Noticing this, Leo Ray, feeling the gusts of wind whistling in his ears, lowered his body and continued to observe.
Under the brilliant sunshine, several differently-colored commercial flying airships could be seen slowly ascending or descending in the increasingly clearer city airspace.
Meanwhile, on the road outside the city gate, carts laden with goods were clearly visible, driven by mercenaries heading to the city in a hurry.
“As expected of Viennas City, the commercial center of the Coldflame Eastern Region, it’s just as bustling as ever.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and thought to himself, “This Viennas City almost controls the lifelines of nearly half of the daily necessities and food in the entire Coldflame Eastern Region.
If I could incorporate this place into my sphere of influence and control this lifeline, it would naturally be of great help in the future.”
As soon as Leo Ray thought of this, the team under Taylor and Red Night’s lead had already arrived in the suburban area near Viennas City.
At a glance, the surrounding area was full of lush wheat fields, with the scent of plants and soil mixed together and a scene full of vitality everywhere.
“Alright, let’s slow down from here.”
Seeing this, Leo Ray nodded to his subordinates and ordered.
Undoubtedly, although they were all wearing invisibility cloaks and had no risk of being discovered,
the strong energy turbulence caused by the team’s high-speed movement could easily topple travelers and soldiers in their vicinity, or even sweep them into the air.
Therefore, it is more prudent not to cause unnecessary commotion.
After all, in the Coldflame Eastern Region, the importance of Viennas City is far greater than ordinary cities like Mystara City and Firsdale City, and there must be a large number of spies from several princes here.
Not to mention the mysterious organization that has been lurking in the shadows and plotting for a long time.
“That being said, based on the situation during the previous auction in Viennas City, it’s clear that Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City and the mysterious organization share an irreconcilable hatred.
Moreover, at that time, after taking the [Eternal Night Magic Box] in the chaos, I shifted the blame to the mysterious organization.”
At this moment, as Leo Ray dismounted the wolf, he also pondered, “In summary, the common point between Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City and me is that we both have the mysterious organization as an opponent.
It’s just that, for the mysterious organization, Lord Asher Porter is openly facing them, while I, as an unexpected hidden force that suddenly snatched the [Eternal Night Magic Box], am concealed.”
Considering this, Leo Ray first signaled his subordinates to move forward,
then thought to himself, “If I can win Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City to my side using this, it would undoubtedly be a powerful and strategic new force for my territory, just as I thought before.”
