Chapter 2640: Chapter 1453: Listening and Surprise

“After surrounding the ministers, the liches didn’t hesitate at all, launching an overwhelming attack, with each move deadly, and everywhere bone spears and bone bursts exploded.”

“Although the ministers and their group were significantly inferior in strength compared to the opponents, thanks to the Tier 6 equipment and strong trump cards Your Majesty provided, they didn’t fall behind immediately, but instead had an evenly matched fight with the opponents.”

“Especially with the Tier 6 Defense Scrolls bestowed by Your Majesty, even members like Lina in the team didn’t fall under the enemy’s attacks, and instead used Tier 6 Attack Scrolls to cause considerable trouble for the opponent.”

Grey Elder’s old eyes were full of confusion, continuing to recall the scene at that time.

“However, the opponents’ strength was overwhelming after all, and the ministers’ trump cards were quickly exhausted.”

“Facing the liches’ fierce and sinister attack and reckless laughter, when the ministers’ group was at their last breath and could perish at any time, the liches’ attacks suddenly stopped, even the undead they controlled scattered on the ground, reverting back to bones.”

Upon hearing Grey Elder say this, Leo Ray’s face showed more curiosity, and he asked in surprise, “Old President, are you saying the liches’ spells suddenly became ineffective?”

“That’s right, Your Majesty, upon realizing this, the ministers were extremely puzzled, and the liches were even more astonished, completely unaware of what had occurred.”

Grey Elder nodded respectfully, responding, “When the entire battlefield seemed to have a pause button pressed, countless bone spears whistled down from the sky, but the targets weren’t the subordinates, instead, they were the liches who hadn’t had time to react.”

“Under the fierce attack of the bone spears, coupled with the opponent’s inability to perform any spells, they all quickly fell, calming the entire battlefield.”

Yonir took over the conversation, continuing, “Afterwards, a familiar figure appeared before the ministers’ group, leaving everyone dumbfounded.”

“Lord, not only were the two Presidents shocked, but even the subordinates were stunned too.”

Lina chuckled and agreed.

“So, it was this familiar figure who stepped forward that helped everyone resolve the crisis, and everyone knew that figure?”

Leo Ray glanced alternately at Grey Elder, Yonir, and Lina, surprised.

Surprise aside, Leo Ray’s eyes lit up, quickly realizing.

In his impression, the only individual who could intersect with all three simultaneously and also use undead magic was, of course, Frank, one of the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes from years past.

After all, Frank was an old friend of both Grey Elder and Yonir, who were also among the Nine Dragon-slaying Heroes, and Lina’s teacher.

“It seems Your Majesty has figured out the answer.”

Yonir nodded at Leo Ray, affirming, “Yes, it was Frank who intervened to help the ministers through the crisis.”

“Where is he now?”

Leo Ray’s face showed a hint of urgency, immediately asking.

You must know, Frank was not only a legendary figure of the human clan, but according to Lina, he might also know how to restore the magic ley lines of the Treant forest like Shuert.

Moreover, this time Frank helped our side through such a life-threatening crisis in a critical moment, so it would be appropriate to thank him properly, and if we could recruit him under our banner, that would be ideal.

“Back to Your Majesty, we should start from the events after that.”

Yonir bowed with his hand on his chest, continuing, “After resolving the ambush of liches, the ministers, despite their surprise, didn’t have time to thank Frank, and explained the ins and outs of the matter in a concise manner.”

“Upon learning about everything, he immediately summoned a Siren Dead Spirit, and without using much time, successfully opened a large hole in that exquisite illusion realm.”

Listening to Yonir, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

The Siren Clan was known as an illusion’s nemesis and was very skilled in illusion techniques. At the time of first encountering Nolan, he had suffered quite a bit.

And Nolan was also Frank’s apprentice, so it wasn’t surprising that the latter possessed a Siren Dead Spirit.

While Leo Ray was thinking about this, Yonir’s elderly voice sounded again.

“Then, with Frank and the Siren Dead Spirit’s assistance, the ministers ventured into the illusion realm, eventually finding the Rainforest leader and other strong Rainforest fighters accompanying him, who were trapped in different places within the realm, unable to escape an inch.”

“Later, the situation became simple, upon learning that impostors had commanded the Rainforest Grand Army to attack Theta Fortress, the Rainforest leader and others quickly returned here with the ministers.”

“On the battlefield, the enemy initially intended to refuse to admit it, but with the Rainforest leader’s fiery disposition, he seized the opportunity and tore the impostor to pieces, revealing the lich’s true form, quickly regaining control of the army.”

“During this process, the scene became extremely chaotic, eventually allowing several liches to escape amidst the confusion, while Frank immediately chased after them and has not returned so far.”

Yonir finished his words and then smiled, “Afterward, as Your Majesty saw, the Rainforest Grand Army retreated rapidly, resolving Theta Fortress’s crisis.”

“Understood, this time you all and the venerable Frank made great contributions, once the lich is completely eliminated, everyone will be rewarded according to merits.”

After hearing the whole story of what happened, Leo Ray nodded to everyone and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”

“Your Majesty’s praise is too much, Frank is truly the key figure here. It’s unexpected after all these years to see this old friend again.”

Grey Elder gently stroked his white beard, smiling.

“Liches are cunning, I hope he returns soon.”

Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath, and his face showed a hint of worry again.

“Don’t worry, Lord, my teacher is a nemesis to liches and other necromancers, he won’t be easily harmed.”

Lina saw Leo Ray’s concern and smiled, “Perhaps it won’t be long before teacher returns safely.”

“That’s true, when that time comes I won’t treat this old gentleman poorly.”

Upon hearing these words, the worry on Leo Ray’s face diminished somewhat.

According to the two Presidents’ descriptions, Frank indeed possessed methods to restrain liches, and having traveled the Outer Region for so long, he surely acted prudently and shouldn’t encounter any trouble.

Just as Leo Ray thought this, a robust figure flew over from afar and quickly appeared before him.
