On the other side, Taylor stood up and said with a fist salute, “My Lord, I have thoroughly investigated the whereabouts and origin of the Half-Orc Army.” Leo Ray then learned through Taylor’s detailed report.

It turned out that although the north side of the territory was a steep mountain range.

However, about 15 kilometers to the northeast, there was a relatively hidden mountain pass between the continuous mountains.

And this Half-Orc Army crossed the mountain range from here and eventually entered the forest.

After discovering this location, Taylor tracked hundreds of kilometers overnight and found that on the other side of the mountain range was a mixed area of hills and mountains, with very rugged overall terrain.

Among them, there were traces of Half-Orc cities and tribes.

However, to prevent the other party from setting up anti-detection measures and startling the enemy, Taylor did not approach further and returned immediately.

“So that’s the case.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown.

He did not expect that this forest was not only located between two human countries, but there was also a Half-Orc nation above them that could invade at any time, forming a precarious situation.

Moreover, the current situation was that both human countries were fighting while the Half-Orcs above them were also joining the chaos, attacking the mysterious Magic Barrier in the forest at night.

“It seems that my territory is located on top of a powder keg.”

Upon realizing this, Leo Ray’s face showed no panic; on the contrary, he looked forward to the challenges ahead.

Calmly analyzing from another angle, this might not necessarily be a bad thing for them.

At least at this stage, the focus of all forces was not on them, and they had not even noticed their existence.

“I wonder what kind of expression they would show when they realize that there is another force rising quietly under their noses, as they fight heatedly amongst themselves?”

At this moment, Leo Ray couldn’t help but look forward to the surrounding forces creating more chaos, and if they could engage in a large-scale melee, it would be even more perfect.

Or, if the opportunity arises, they could fan the flames in the middle, and it would be unknown who could gain more advantages.

“I expect there will be some interesting things happening then, right?” Just as Leo Ray was thinking about this.

Taylor continued to report: “My Lord, I have made a rough estimate.”

“It would take at least five days for the Half-Orcs to march here from their territory, and they must pass through several difficult mountain passes on the way.”

“Especially the mountain pass closest to us, it can be said that one person can hold it off, and no one can break through.”

“Therefore, if the timing is right, we only need to deploy an ambush or a defensive force there to completely block the enemy’s attack.”

“Furthermore, the internal strife within the various Half-Orc tribes has always been ongoing, and they are constantly balancing each other’s power.”

“If one tribe’s army were to mobilize, it would inevitably arouse the covetousness of other tribes.”

“So although the Half-Orcs are powerful, if we act cautiously, they pose no significant threat.”

“Understood.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully and said, “It seems that there must be a deadly attraction within the mysterious Magic Barrier that made this Half-Orc Army take the risk of being invaded by other tribes and venture here at night.”

Realizing this, Leo Ray could not help but become more curious about the mysterious Magic Barrier.

After a brief moment of composure, Leo Ray gestured for Taylor to rest and then turned to the twin sisters and asked, “Serena, what is the situation on your side?”

“My Lord, since the Magic Barrier returned to its original state last night, there have been no further changes, nor has anyone else been active around it,” Serena said, standing up and smoothing a stray lock of hair from her forehead.

“Well done.” Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction, and as he was about to move on to the next topic, he noticed Serena’s hesitant expression.

Feeling puzzled, Leo Ray signalled her to speak freely.

“My Lord, I just wanted to ask who this lady with the ponytail is…” Serena stammered.

As Serena spoke, Scarlett, who was leisurely resting nearby, suddenly felt an inexplicable chill and involuntarily shivered.

“Oh, I haven’t introduced her to you yet, have I?”

Leo Ray motioned for Scarlett to come forward and smiled, “She is our new colleague, Tier 3 Fire Mage Scarlett.”

“Greetings, senior sisters. I am Scarlett, please take care of me in the future.” At this moment, Scarlett no longer had the air of a bully. She held up the sides of her skirt slightly, bowed slightly, and instantly transformed from a domineering leader to a gentle and clever girl next door.

“Alright, let’s get back to the main topic.”

Next, Leo Ray turned to the mage girl and said seriously, “Scarlett, you should already have some understanding of the entire incident. Now, our territory is not at peace, and the center of the incident is an ancient Magic Barrier.”

“With your ability, can you break the magical protective barrier at the entrance of the Magic Barrier?”

“My Lord, based on the conversation you just had with the two seniors, I can basically confirm that I can break the barrier 100%.”

After a moment of consideration, Scarlett confidently replied, “Although I have recently just entered the ranks of Tier 3 powerhouses, the magical protective barrier was just breached last night and has not fully recovered.”

“Thus, this is still entirely within my capabilities.”

“Very well, then let’s go to the Magic Barrier again in a while.” Leo Ray snapped his fingers and made a decision.

“My Lord, do you mean that we should enter the barrier to explore what lies within?” Taylor stood up again, puzzled.

“Exactly.” Leo Ray smiled and replied, “Since these two forces have already been stirring up trouble in the barrier all night, it’s time for us, the fishermen, to step onto the stage.”

Hearing this, Taylor and Serena exchanged glances, showing a sudden realization.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind it.

After a night of fighting, both the Half-Orc Army and the power within the mysterious Magic Barrier were undoubtedly exhausted.

More importantly, they would never have thought that a third force would appear before them at this time!

Without a doubt, this was the best opportunity for them to turn the tables and even wipe out both forces in one fell swoop!
