Why are the national defenders coming to support Warrengel now?

Tester explained that the first demon general, the fallen angel [Great Destruction], Webster Solo, appeared outside the border fortress of the Roland Empire.

This information was passed to the royal capital, so the king sent the national warrior Lemons Dorn to come for support.

"Can a level 45 warrior, a peak level 8 warrior, defeat the Lich King?"

Anno didn't know Lemmens very well.

However, feeling the vibrations from the ground and the sword energy in the sky that seemed to tear apart the space, Annuo knew that this level of combat was something he could not reach at all at the moment.

Lemmens brought a group of high-level people to find the Lich King.

The latter was forced to fight.

The two sides fought and then ran out of the city again.

"As expected of Lord Lemens, I once heard my father say that Lemens is only one step away from the ninth level. It won't be long before the Kingdom of Nigar will have our own ninth level!"

There was a gleam in Test's eyes.

An Nuo retracted his gaze, looked around, and then asked, "Have the casualties been counted?"

Tester's eyes dimmed, and then he told the data to Anno.

When Anno heard that the number of adventurers was halved, he frowned.

There were more than 2,000 people when we set out, but now there are only 1,200 left!

With nearly half of the staff reduced, this loss is not small.

Tester also understood what Anno was thinking and said, "The adventurers are also fighting for the kingdom. The royal family will not mistreat their families. After I return, I will send someone to give them pensions. If their descendants join the army, they will also be treated preferentially!"

In this way, Annuo's pressure was much less.

However, these worries are unnecessary.

Before the adventurers came, they knew clearly about Warrengel's situation.

Especially the adventurers who were willing to follow Annuo to the battlefield yesterday. Facing the undead army, they already knew the possibility of death.

But facing the invasion of the Undead Legion, they were no longer just adventurers at that moment, but the people of the kingdom.

Defending the country is also their responsibility.

Afterwards, Tester talked to Annuo about some battlefield-related topics.

For example, during the battle last night, the Blade Legion faced the greatest pressure.

But the casualties of the Blade Legion were not the greatest.

The group that suffered the greatest casualties was Simmons's Dawn Legion.

Many people in the Dawn Legion are newly replaced mercenaries.

Where have these people ever fought a war?

Most of the adventurers who also participated in the battle only assisted the Blade Legion and helped with defense.

What's more, Simmons, as the direct leader of the Dawn Legion, actually left with several sixth-level mercenaries at the critical moment.

This caused the Dawn Legion's command system to fall into complete chaos.

A lot of unnecessary casualties were caused, and the reduction in personnel was close to four-fifths!

In the end, Alick transferred soldiers from other defense lines to provide support and prevented the collapse of the defense line.

Otherwise, the Dawn Legion’s defense line would have been directly broken through by the Undead!

But this also increases the pressure on other lines of defense again.

If Annuo's plan had not succeeded and he had not returned to provide support, Alick would have ordered an escape.

…

Anno originally thought that the battle between Lemens and the Lich King would take a long time.

As a result, before it got dark, Lemmens came back with his men.

Afterwards, Annuo was called to a meeting by Tester.

Walking into the makeshift conference hall, Annuo found that many people were already there.

In addition to the high-level ones, there are nobles like Tester and Alick.

The strange warrior sitting next to Alik immediately attracted Annuo's attention.

[Observer] cannot see through the other party's information!

At least it is level 43, stage eight.

In this way, the other party's identity becomes clear.

Level 45 national defender, Lemens Dorn!

He looks like an ordinary middle-aged man, with a standard square face.

Short brown hair, beard.

He is tall and strong, wearing armor.

Just by sitting there, a fierce and sharp aura emanated from the surrounding area.

Lemens raised his eyes and looked at Anno, then gave a kind smile.

"My name is Lemens. You must be the president of the Adventurer's Guild, the legendary seventh professional, Summoner Anno!"

An Nuo immediately responded, "Lord Lemens, nice to meet you!"

Lemens looked at Anno for a while and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, he didn't know what Annuo had done last night, so his reaction only stopped there.

I got to know An Nuo because he was so active in the royal city.

In the previous World's No. 1 Professional Competition held in the royal city, Lemens had actually accompanied the king to secretly observe Anno.

"Well, now that President Anno, who represents the adventurers, is here, let's begin the meeting!"

After Anno arrived, Alick looked at Lemmens with a serious face and asked, "Lemmens, how was your battle with the Lich King this afternoon?"

"I'm sorry, Count Alick, I failed to kill the Lich King. In the afternoon's battle, I only killed four seventh-level Undead Lords!"

The battle between Lemmens and the Lich King also involved other people.

Except for Anno, Tester and Alick, everyone else present had experienced it firsthand.

Of the four Undead Lords killed, two were killed by Lemens.

"Although I barely defeated the Lich King, he still has a trump card that he hasn't played yet."

Lemens revealed a piece of information that shocked many people present. "The Lich King has a very powerful guard regiment that can be teleported to the Lich King's location at any time. There are many high-level undead in this guard regiment."

"What? There are many high-level undead in the Guards Corps. How is this possible?"

Alec was a little shocked.

If the facts were as Lemens said, in all these days, as long as the Lich King called out this guard corps, Warrengel's high-level professionals would have been wiped out long ago.

Warrengel would have fallen long ago, so how could the stalemate last until now?

Lemens confirmed: "This is true, this Guard Corps has appeared before, and assisted the Lich King to escape from the Sword Master, causing the Sword Master to miss a good opportunity to kill the Demon General!

As for the reason why it has never been used... unfortunately, no one knows what the Lich King is thinking!

However, its strength is unquestionable. With the kingdom's current strength, it is unlikely to kill the Lich King!

In fact, the strength of any of the Eight Demon Generals cannot be underestimated.

Even the dead Truman was no match for me back then!"

Lemmens directly admitted that he was not strong enough back then.

Otherwise he would not have allowed Truman to wreak havoc in the kingdom.

Everyone in the conference room fell silent.

It was also the first time that Annuo knew that the Lich King had escaped from the hands of the Ninth-Rank Sword Master.

The second demon general also has this record of killing demons!

But the fifth demon general Truman was killed by the Sword Master.

It seems that the sixth, seventh, and eighth are no match for the Sword Master.

No wonder the first demon general appeared in the Roland Empire.

This was probably to prevent the Headless Knight, the seventh demon general who had challenged the Roland Empire, from being killed by the Sword Master.

"However, the Lich King wants to sign a contract with me in the end. Today's meeting is to discuss the feasibility of this contract!"

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Lemens told them the contents of the contract drafted by the Lich King.
