Seeing everyone's gaze, Lemons explained, "Although President Anno is very strong and can lead the legion to gain a certain advantage."

But as I said before, the Lich King did not use his full strength.

When I was fighting him, the Lich King said a few words to me.

The undead legion wasn't very interested in this war, otherwise there would have been more than 100,000 undead here.

The reason the Lich King became the third Demon Lord was because of the 500,000-strong undead army and the Sentinel army.

Your intelligence here might be a bit behind.

Since the undead legion launched its attack on Worengel the night before last, until I left the royal city to come here to provide support early this morning, in addition to the Kingdom of Nigar, the Roland Empire, the Duchy of Aureber, and the Elf Forest have all been attacked by several other demon generals.

The Orcish Federation and the Dwarf Kingdom are expected to be attacked by the Demon King's army in the next two days.

This is a war involving the entire Demon King's army and the alliance of six nations.

The Lich King said that the undead army must achieve something.

Therefore, it proposed this contract.

For the next period of time, the two sides should simply maintain a stalemate.

Of course, the Lich King's words are not to be trusted.

However, judging from the contents of the contract, although we will lose half of Worengel, it is basically impossible for the Demon King's army to invade from Worengel in the future!

The contract is witnessed by the God of Contracts.

If any high-ranking member of the Demon King's army dares to cross the Gathos River and break the contract, the Lich King himself will have his soul harvested by the God of Contracts and die on the spot.

After the contract is signed, the Lich King will even help us block the high-ranking demon lords who are not part of the undead army.

The two sides will confront each other, with the Gaza River as the dividing line!

Given that neither side can cross the Gazelle River at the seventh rank, it is virtually impossible for a large-scale war to break out in Warrenger!

This also allows us to deploy our main military forces to the two border fortresses nearby.

That place will likely become the second battlefield for the kingdom and the undead legions.

After fighting the Lich King, Lymens knew he was not capable of killing him.

If the fighting continues, it could lead to the Lich King deploying his remaining 400,000 undead troops, or even his Sentinel army, to attack Volengol.

By then, not only will Worengle be unable to hold out, but the entire North may slowly turn into a paradise for the dead!

The kingdom's regular army numbers only 300,000. Even if it were to expand its army temporarily during wartime and recruit professionals, the chances of retaking the northern border would be extremely slim.

Unless Lemens breaks through to the ninth rank.

However, breaking through to the ninth level is too difficult, and Leimens is not entirely confident.

Since the Lich King doesn't want to continue fighting for unknown reasons, let's just agree to the pact and stabilize the situation first.

Once Anno has grown up, we can take Warrenger back.

Even so, Lymens' soul would be harvested by the God of Contracts if he did this.

But since I've decided to sign this contract, I'm willing to take on this responsibility.

Anno's appearance gave Lemons a lot of confidence.

However, Lemens said all this simply to express his own thoughts.

Ultimately, the decision rests with Tester—who is currently the only member of the royal family here.

If Tester insists on continuing the war, Lymens will obey orders to distract the Lich King.

If Tester agrees to sign the contract, no amount of opposition from Lord Alec, the lord of Warrengol, will matter.

Because this is no longer about the gain or loss of a single city or territory, but about the course of the war going forward.

However, Alec also looked at Tester with a nervous expression, after all, Warrengel was his territory as an earl.

All eyes were now on Tester.

Tester felt the pressure for the first time.

Perhaps because of his decision, the kingdom will lead to two completely different outcomes.

Anno sat to the side, sighing as he watched Tester, who was deep in thought.

His knowledge of the Lich King is common knowledge.

This is the first time I've learned about the Lich King's true power.

Anno was unaware of the actual number of both the undead legion and the Sentinel Legion.

Although he can currently summon dozens of Tier 6 creatures, it is still far inferior to the entire undead legion.

Without mana potions, once Anno's mana and stamina are exhausted, he will be buried by the undead army.

Most importantly, the area near the northern city wall has been transformed into a high-level cursed land.

Even if Anno had enough magic power to lead 40,000 soldiers to defeat a legion of 60,000 to 70,000 undead.

However, once the remaining enemy forces retreated to the area of ​​the high-level cursed land, Anno and the others were unable to continue their pursuit!

Unless a high-ranking priest purifies the high-level cursed earth.

But this cannot be purified in a short time.

With the interference of the Lich King and other undead, it's practically impossible.

"I hadn't considered this before, but now that I think about it carefully, without the ability to kill the Lich King, as long as the [High-Level Cursed Land] exists, it seems we have no chance of retaking the northern half of the city. At least the Cursed Land near the northern city walls is a place we can't approach!"

Tester, deep in thought, also realized this.

Leimens listened to his analysis, nodded in satisfaction, and asked, "Anything else?"

Tester turned to Lymens and asked earnestly, "Lord Lymens, how long can you stay here?"

"That depends on when the First Demon General leaves the Roland Empire! I possess a magic stone capable of receiving messages from the royal capital. Once I lose my position as the First Demon General, I must return to the capital to prevent an enemy attack!"

"The First Demon General, [Great Annihilation] Webster Solo, that legendary fallen angel who supposedly requires four eighth-tier warriors to even be worthy of a fight! Wait... a magic stone?"

Tester paused for a moment, looked up at the expressionless Lymens, and then glanced at Anno beside him.

Anno also picked up on some "loopholes" in Lemens's words.

Since Leimens possesses the magic stone, he can contact the royal city.

Given Lemons's personality, such a significant matter as signing a contract would likely have been reported to King Charles long ago.

As for whether or not to sign the agreement, the king has probably already discussed it with Lemens.

But Lemons still let Tester make the decision.

Does this indicate that the king is testing Tester?

Tester himself had thought of this.

Although Simmons is the first in line to inherit the throne, he has all the typical aristocratic flaws.

In this war, Simmons again fled in fear.

Compared to Tester, who charged into battle, the difference was obvious.

Even the cardinals and the eighth-ranked members of the other two professional holy sites looked at Tester with new respect.

Lemons might have been slightly biased towards Tester, which is why he kept hinting at it.

"Sign! Just sign this contract!"

Tester stood up from his seat, staring intently at Anno, and said earnestly, "By trading space for time, I believe that one day we will take back everything we've lost!"
