For a moment, not a single one of the distinguished individuals present could speak.
They had clearly just secured a victory, a moment worth celebrating. Cheers and all manner of commotion could still occasionally be heard outside, yet no one here felt even the slightest joy. Their hearts were heavy instead.
That was only inevitable.
Compared to the Beastmen Race returning and all the captives being rescued and brought back, the news Shien had brought was undoubtedly far worse.
The enemy had gained two Transcendent Class powerhouses, and they were no ordinary people. They were Heroes who had once accomplished countless great deeds and miracles. Such enemies could not be ignored.
Along with a mysterious Demon Lord and a great spirit capable of manipulating necromancy, the enemy now possessed a full four Transcendent Class powerhouses, all of them beings on the level of Demon Lords.
That level of combat power was no weaker than the Kingdom, which had lost the support of the Demon Race as well as most of the God Race.
