Chapter 2013: Chapter 1130 The End of the Meeting

“Please, Your Highness, enlighten us.”

Diana’s tone noticeably softened as she nodded towards Leo Ray.

“You must have heard about what happened last night in Lion City, the royal capital, right, Vice President?”

Leo Ray’s voice carried a hint of anger as he tried to maintain a calm demeanor: “Before Gannon the Ninth issued his proclamation, this well-guarded court was breached.”

“The reason is that Gannon the Ninth secretly established an evil barrier in various branches of the Temple of Light and planted an evil engraving within the soldiers who worshipped the Holy Light.”

“Once the barrier was activated, these innocent soldiers became frenzied puppets controlled by the Temple of Light, attacking other unsuspecting soldiers with their longswords and battle-axes.”

“This didn’t just happen in the royal capital; it also occurred at the major fortresses of the Coldflame Kingdom, nearly leading to the complete destruction of Coldflame Kingdom on that bloody and dark night.”

Upon hearing this from Leo Ray, Diana and the other representatives of the Mercenary Guild all frowned.

As mercenaries, they had naturally heard of these events.

One had to admit, for the Temple of Light to engage in such actions, given its glorious image, it was indeed disgraceful.

“Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen and I, on the brink of life and death, successfully activated the hidden functions of the Lion King Temple, bringing forth the past monarchs of Coldflame and defending powerhouses, barely holding the collapsing front lines.”

Leo Ray’s voice gradually steadied as he continued in the ears of the gathered mercenaries.

Upon hearing this, Diana and her companions listened attentively.

The appearance of the past Coldflame monarchs and defending powerhouses was indeed unexpected, causing the combat power of Coldflame Kingdom to surge instantly and providing the confidence to confront the Temple of Light.

But it was certain that no matter how formidable the heroic spirits were, they could not exist forever. Once they retreated, the outcome would be self-evident.

As they considered this, Diana and others quietly sighed.

Noticing the change in Diana and the others’ demeanor, Leo Ray’s expression remained unchanged.

He certainly wouldn’t reveal that using star crystals had significantly increased the energy supply to the Lion King Temple, which was their trump card. The more uncertain the enemy was about how long the heroic spirits could appear, the more advantageous it was for them.

“With the assistance of Her Majesty, the Holy Maiden Sofia, we eventually broke their evil barrier and uprooted all the branches of the Temple of Light in the Coldflame Kingdom, regaining control of the court and stabilizing the various fortresses.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, his voice again resonating within the conference room.

As Diana and others listened to Leo Ray’s words, they began contemplating inwardly.

Just as Leo Ray said, they, as high-ranking members of the mercenary management, clearly knew what had happened.

While the Temple of Light’s propaganda made ordinary mercenaries and civilians from other nations only aware that the Coldflame Kingdom had cruelly captured innocent priests and roughly sealed all branches within the Coldflame Domain, which undoubtedly placed Coldflame Kingdom directly at odds with the Human World.

Although Diana and her companions did not comment on the Temple of Light’s selective narration, they realized it was merely a tactic to isolate the enemy.

“Your Royal Highness the Holy Lion, we have indeed heard of these matters.”

Once Leo Ray finished speaking, Diana nodded towards him and said, “Your Highness’s ability to turn the tide in such a dire situation is worthy of entering any legendary epic.”

“Unfortunately, Your Highness’s opponent is the Temple of Light, renowned across the various human countries. If Your Highness fails, it will only be recorded as the source of evil.”

Durant, evidently playing the hardliner, frowned and stated, “Your Highness, these are things we are already aware of, but that doesn’t count as a hint.”

“The clue is what I’m going to talk about next.”

Leo Ray slightly raised an eyebrow and continued, “Just before Gannon the Ninth made his announcement, when this court had just descended into chaos, I hadn’t returned in time as Protector, but the powerhouses of the Black Abyss Brotherhood had, as if foresight, launched a premeditated attack here.”

“It was precisely because of their attack that the court’s absolute defensive barrier shattered, turning this place into a purgatory of blood and fire.”

Leo Ray’s voice turned grim again as he continued, “The other side had nine Tier 5 powerhouses, with a clear goal of destroying the Lion King Temple at the heart of the court. If I hadn’t arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

“Were there really nine Tier 5 Brotherhood powerhouses who took advantage of the chaos to invade the court, and even reached the Miracle Building area in the center of the court?”

After hearing Leo Ray’s words, Diana exchanged glances with Durant, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.

According to the intelligence from the Mercenary Guild, they knew that indeed, some Black Abyss Brotherhood powerhouses were causing chaos in the royal capital at the time, attempting to disrupt the absolute defensive barrier within the royal capital.

But they never expected that the enemy had directly invaded the Coldflame court.

They knew that even if a kingdom’s court’s absolute defensive barrier failed, the various mechanisms and traps scattered throughout passageways and castles could easily bury Tier 5 powerhouses.
