Chapter 1945: Chapter 1096 Before the Black Night Arrives
Upon hearing the sudden and inexplicable sound, Seveil, Andre, and Vanluntin, the three Tie 5 Powerhouses in the tent, couldnât help but have their pupils constrict, and they all erupted with overwhelming momentum, turning toward the direction of the sound with vigilance.
In the corner of the large command tent, a shadow standing in the darkness gradually solidified; it was the mysterious figure that had appeared in front of Saint King William and Jered earlier.
Upon seeing the face of the figure clearly, even Seveil and Andre, who held high positions in their respective kingdoms, did not blame the intruder for coming unannounced. Instead, their faces were full of courteous expressions.
âYour Excellency, arenât you stationed over in the Grimm Kingdom?â
Seveil was the first to stand up and spoke to the mysterious figure with a look of surprise.
âIndeed, Your Excellency, this place is extremely dangerous, why have you come here?â
Even Andre, who was usually unruly, showed a rare hint of gentleness and nodded in agreement.
âHehe, I have certainly come to aid the Saint Night Kingdom and the Orchid Federation. Since that esteemed being has invited you to join forces against the Coldflame Kingdom, it is only natural I wouldnât watch you fall into dire straits.â
The mysterious figure nodded slightly and said indifferently, âI have just inspected the area; this Eternal Sleep Canyon is covered by an ancient and extremely exquisite Illusion Matrix, hence trapping your 1.5 million soldiers completely here.â
âIs it indeed an Illusion Matrix? We truly underestimated that Otherworlderâs capability.â
Upon hearing this anticipated answer, the wrinkles on Seveilâs old face deepened, and he smiled wryly.
âDo not worry, since I have arrived here, I will certainly help you in capturing the Mountain Fortress.â
The mysterious figure stood with hands behind his back, his voice calm and unwavering.
âSo, Your Excellency, do you have a way to break this Illusion Matrix?â
Andreâs hawk-like eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.
âThe energy level of this Illusion Matrix rivals that of a Half-step Tier 6 Expert, indicating there is a vastly large and elite squad of Illusion Mage Team backing it.â
The mysterious figure paced slowly around the command tent, unhurriedly saying, âThe most crucial point is, from my observation, this enigmatic ancient Illusion Matrix likely originates from the Illusion Spirit Race that disappeared over three thousand years ago.â
âWith my own strength, I have some grasp handling this Illusion Mage Team alone, but Iâm afraid I cannot completely dismantle the main body of the Illusion Matrix.â
Upon hearing this, Seveil and Andreâs previously hopeful eyes dimmed a bit, and they both sighed lightly.
Noticing their disheartened expressions, the mysterious figure remained composed and said lightly, âAlthough I cannot completely dismantle the Matrix, since I can come here unnoticed, without detection from that Otherworlderâs Illusionist subordinates, I can easily lead out some elite Soldiers without a trace.â
âOh?â
Upon hearing the mysterious figureâs words, the other three present couldnât help but be reinvigorated.
Seveil revitalized and hurriedly asked, âYour Excellency, how many Soldiers can you lead out quietly from this Illusion Matrix?â
âBreaking through the Illusion Matrix plus creating temporary illusions to deceive the enemy would allow around 150,000.â
The mysterious figure pondered briefly, then replied, âI can ensure you reach beneath the Mountain Fortress city without anyone noticing.â
â150,000? That equates to the size of 15 Main Forces Corps?â
Andreâs hawk-like eyes lit up again, his face full of joy, âThe Mountain Fortress is garrisoned by only 30 ragtag Legions, primarily composed of new recruits who cannot even hold their weapons steadily, and it lacks the Absolute Defense Barrier.â
âWith our 15 most elite Main Forces Corpsâ combat power, we can easily match 40 well-trained ordinary Legions, not to mention those Newbie Legions with practically zero combat power. To raid the Mountain Fortress, which is like paper-thin, is effortlessly within reach!â
Upon Andreâs declaration, both Seveil and Vanluntin nodded approvingly, their faces showing excitement.
âOnce the Mountain Fortress breaks, the elite Illusion Mage Team stationed here will be thrown into chaos, and with chaos comes mistakes. By then, I will have the assurance to break the Illusion Matrix.â
The mysterious figure nodded slightly, looking full of confidence.
âNo wonder you are famed across the Human Clanâs various countries, Your Excellency, I had not imagined you were a profound Illusion Master!â
Seveilâs old face was filled with the joy of surviving a calamity, and he promptly offered praise.
One should know, the trapped Grand Armyâs provisions were already extremely limited, and they lacked water severely, unable to hold out for many days.
Capturing the Mountain Fortress means the Grand Army will gain a new lease on life!
âIt seems that the Otherworlder is certainly doomed.â
Andre laughed heartily, as if he could already see the ruined scene when the Mountain Fortress was destroyed.
âThat Otherworlder greatly tarnished the reputation of my Saint Night Kingdomâs Potent Warriors, throwing us into such disgrace; this time, I will make them pay an unbearable price!â
Andre spoke of this and then asked the mysterious figure, âYour Excellency, when shall we commence the operation?â
âTomorrow night. At that time, the Grimm Kingdom, Pars Empire, and the Half-Orc Army will also launch attacks simultaneously from other directions, so you can rest assured in deploying your forces. To ensure complete success, I will also conduct fierce assaults at two other locations, enough to keep that Otherworlder too busy to deal with everything.â
