Chapter 1959: Chapter 1102: The True Face of the Mysterious Organization_2

Although it’s unclear how these 15 legions managed to break through the illusion blockade, one thing is certain.

This scale of elite enemy army is difficult to deal with even when the Mountain Fortress is intact, let alone in the current situation of internal and external troubles.

No choice left, Leo Ray had to leave two alchemy puppets with Taylor, plus the large number of puppet soldiers summoned together with Sarah and Yoyo, to barely push back the Alliance Army soldiers charging forward temporarily.

Despite the questions in his heart, the Mountain Fortress is still precarious, but Leo Ray obviously cannot continue to stay here, and instead rushed to the territory.

The situation in the territory is much better; neither subordinates nor submissive races showed any signs of being controlled.

However, surrounded by tens of thousands of Golden Pupil soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Golden Pupil civilians from nearby towns, they were frantically smashing the Absolute Defense Barrier.

Due to the presence of over 10 Tier 3 Magic System middle teams within the territory, which made the defensive barrier impregnable, Leo Ray did not linger much and moved on to the final destination, the Royal Capital.

On the outskirts of the Royal Capital, Leo Ray left Red Night to assist Bernie and other members of the “Green Adventurers Guild” fighting a bloody battle with The Brotherhood’s powerhouses, and then rushed back to the court with Jasper Richardson, just in time to save Ariel Watson who was on the verge of dying.

“Lord! It’s really you!”

Seeing Leo Ray’s figure, Ariel Watson, just returned from the brink of death, didn’t have time for fear but immediately spoke with tears all over her face, “I am sorry, Lord, I failed to fulfill the promise to help protect you from behind, it’s all my fault…”

“You did nothing wrong, you’ve already done well, it’s my fault for underestimating the insidiousness of these people.”

Leo Ray first smiled comfortingly at Ariel Watson and then looked toward the Black-robed Person No.2 on the other side, speaking in a low voice, “No.2, seems like fleeing in disgrace last time didn’t teach you any lessons.”

“Hehehe, vile otherworldly scum, this seat was still troubled on how to find you, never thought you’d deliver yourself here.”

No.2’s face hidden behind the mask boiled with murderous intent, speaking coldly, “This time, I shall settle new and old scores, and definitely tear you to pieces!”

“This is My Coldflame Royal Family’s territory, don’t even think about being wanton!”

Standing behind Leo Ray, Ariel Watson’s confidence apparently increased significantly, snorted coldly, “Even though the defensive barrier has been broken, here is filled with traps, many places even Tier 5 powerhouses do not dare to easily tread, what can you do?”

“Hehe, naive Princess, perhaps I know this place better than you do, who knows.”

No.2 Black-robed Person’s malicious aura rapidly gathered, teasing, “Do you think I would enter here unprepared? Or perhaps, the time I’ve been preparing is longer than you can imagine.”

“No.2, you seem to be quite familiar with this court, you must come here often, right?”

Upon hearing, Leo Ray seemed to think of something, expressionless, “If I’m not mistaken, that Sweet King Flower that poisoned the Old King, it must be you who secretly placed it in the banquet hall, right?”

“What if it is? What if it isn’t?”

No.2 Black-robed Person shrugged indifferently, sneering, “Does that matter?”

“Of course it matters, because I’ve already guessed your true identity hidden behind the false mask.”

Leo Ray was clearly trying to coax words out of the opponent.

After understanding the situation at various fortresses, Leo Ray already had some ideas but lacked the most crucial evidence.

Only by fully confirming the true nature of the neutral organization behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood can we find a more targeted solution to all this.

“Oh?”

Looking at Leo Ray’s calm face, No.2 Black-robed Person apparently showed interest, ridiculing, “But this seat is really curious to know which name you will say, aren’t you just pretending?”

“Really?”

Seeing the opponent not revealing any information, Leo Ray simply said the answer in his heart, calmly, “Sevyn, the chief archbishop of the Temple of Light Coldflame Kingdom Branch, you should take off your fake Brotherhood mask now, shouldn’t you?”

“What? The mastermind behind the Black Abyss Brotherhood turns out to be the Temple of Light?!”

Because Leo Ray quietly opened his mind talk while speaking, not only Ariel Watson and Jasper Richardson present were shocked but even the main powerhouses fighting across various locations showed astonished expressions, almost unable to believe their ears.

Although before this, everyone had speculated that the mastermind behind the Brotherhood was likely one of the three large neutral organizations.

But among these three neutral organizations, the Temple of Light has the highest reputation and most supporters, having saved the Human Clan from danger multiple times, it wouldn’t be overstating to call them the savior of the Human Clan.

Yet, even such an organization embodying justice, why would they secretly recruit criminals, fugitives, and users of forbidden techniques to form the notorious Black Abyss Brotherhood, engaging in looting, murder, and even acts to overthrow royal authority, becoming synonymous with evil and slaughter?

While everyone’s minds were in shock, the No.2 Black-robed Person on the other side was equally speechless, eyes wide in disbelief, seemingly caught off guard.

After a moment, No.2 Black-robed Person burst into wild laughter, slowly removing the mask.

As the mask was lifted, the weirdly changed voice of No.2 Black-robed Person became gradually normal, revealing a wrinkled elderly face.

“Sevyn Archbishop, it really is you!”

When Ariel Watson clearly saw the familiar old face frequently seen in the court, her voice was filled with immense anger: “For over ten years, my Father King treated you as a true friend, never neglecting you, why would you harm him?!”

“Naive Your Majesty the Queen, because your Father King could never understand the ideals of that Supreme Lord, naturally he couldn’t be allowed to remain in this world.”

Sevyn’s old face was full of malice, no longer the benevolent look, sneering, “As for you and that otherworldly scum who repeatedly thwarted us, you cannot be left!”

“Is it really so?”

Faced with Sevyn’s almost twisted old face, Leo Ray took a deep breath, his expression growing heavier.

Before this, Leo Ray suspected the mastermind was the Temple of Light for three main reasons.

First, the source of the crazed soldiers.

These crazed soldiers were limited to the ordinary army corps and the main forces corps across regions, but did not include any soldiers from the subordinates or the Lord Legion, nor the ones who recently joined the Moon Chaser Clan.

If one of the other two neutral organizations were trying to control our combat power, it wouldn’t likely cover only a specific range.

Unless these crazed soldiers are believers of the Temple of Light or have recently gone to pray at the Temple of Light.

During this process, something must have been secretly done to them, waiting for the day of outbreak to arrive.

Thus, the matter can be explained clearly.

Because whether direct subordinates, soldiers of the Lord Legion, or half-elves, they have no relation with the Temple of Light, so naturally didn’t have the seeds of control planted in them.

Second, nearly all new priests who joined various legions in recent years have turned into Golden Pupil soldiers without exception.

But older priest system powerhouses like Joshua, who haven’t had contact with the Temple of Light for a long time, were unaffected.

As for the subordinate priests within the territory, they were unaffected too.

Although they are followers of the Light, they were neither born of the Temple of Light nor often leave the territory, naturally lacking opportunities to pray at branches of the Temple of Light across regions.

Third is the golden pupil of the crazed soldiers.

Only the Temple of Light uses gold as the core of their spells, though this is just a small obvious feature, when combined with the first two points, it becomes something that cannot help but bring doubt.

Having aligned everything clearly in mind, Leo Ray didn’t have time to ponder the reasons for the Temple of Light’s actions, he immediately pulled his thoughts back to reality.

Leo Ray clearly understood that the strength he hurriedly deployed at various locations earlier cannot have a decisive effect.

Only by finding a way to release the unknown control spell and awakening those crazed Golden Pupil soldiers, can there be a glimmer of hope.

Most importantly, amidst internal and external troubles, the time left for him is running out.

However, before Leo Ray could take action, imminent deadly intent was already flooding in overwhelming strength.
