    ---- Chapter 2998 Marco took a deep breath and asked gravely, "Conrad, which factions are here?" Conrad replied in a low voice, "Many. Nearly every major Ounds faction and Western power has arrived. The vampire side sent Lords, Dukes, and even Princes. The werewolves are the same, and as for the Siren n, the Siren Emperor himself has arrived." Kyrie eximed in shock, "The Siren Emperor? An ancient existence like that actually showed up?


    Those beings have already surpassed the martial god level, haven''t they?" Luna said calmly, "The Sea Emperor is indeed beyond martial god, but what makes him truly formidable is that he wields the Oceanid Trident. Only a handful of beings in the world can deal with someone like that." Conrad said, "There is no need to worry about him focusing on us. Right now, every faction''s goal is the Veiled Paradise. Mr. Lloyd Senior has said that before the entrance to the sacred realm opens, all sides had better not make any rash moves.


    To this, both the vampire prince and the werewolf prince have expressed agreement. So rest assured, no one will target us." As they waited, a massive burst of light suddenly rose from ---- below. Within the radiance, over a dozen figures slowly ascended into the air. Then, they struck with full force at the mountains at the end of the abyss. Earth-shattering tremors immediately erupted across the wastnd. It felt like the entire ground was shaking. Valerie said gravely, "These people must be representatives from each faction, right?


    They''re incredibly strong!" Conrad said calmly, "Of the three leading figures, the one on the left is Mr. Lloyd Senior. The one in the middle is the most powerful, the Siren Emperor!" Kyrie asked curiously, "What about the person on the right? He looks like an old man!" Conrad''s expression turned slightly ufortable as he said, " That person is one of our Holtrien predecessors! However, Mr. Lloyd Senior didn''t say who exactly, so I don''t know either!" Everyone was shocked. They had not expected that two of the three supreme powerhouses were from Holtrien.


    Within the radiance, over a dozen top-tier experts continuously unleashed their power. The tremors grew stronger, wave after wave. After a full half hour, the light dissipated, and the people descended to both sides of the abyss. Then, they slowly ---- dispersed Reginald walked up from below, looking exhausted. His handsome face broke into a smile when he saw Luna and the others. "You made it! General Acosta, long time no see!" He made a point of greeting Marco among the quartet. Marco snapped to attention with a salute. "General Lloyd, you''ve put ina lot of work!" Reginald waved his hand.


    "Come with me. Today''s progress is finished. It''ll take at least three more days to break through the final node. So you''ve got two easy days ahead!" Valerie and Luna immediately followed with precise salutes. The way they looked at Reginald was filled with respect. Even the usually unruly Kyrie put away his casual attitude and tured serious.


    He followed with a proper salute, not daring to show the slightest disrespect No matter how controversial Reginald''s reputation was in Holtrien, his strength, status, and contributions were things the great families of the Chetvine never dared to deny, nor could they find any reason to.
