Chapter 1055: Lampard"s Ident.i.ty (Part One)
“However, the Chambord Kingdom is on the rise because of the Third Prince. Now, Chambord has many masters and excellent generals. Its level of magic civilization is so high that it"s terrifying. Even the Royal Family of Zenit might not be able to compare to it. In a sense, the Chambord Kingdom already received the benefit from this.” Due to the hierarchical structure in this world, Akinfeev had little respect toward the old King of Chambord.
In Akinfeev"s eyes, the Third Prince was a high-level royal of Zenit, and being inside a little level 6 affiliated kingdom for so many years made up for everything.
Emperor Ya.s.sin nodded as well.
“What you said is right. Right now, Chambord"s strength is far beyond that of Zenit. Even ignoring the strength of Alexander, the other gold saints, and the Chambordian soldiers who are much more powerful than the elite soldiers of Zenit, just Mr. Hazel Bank and Golden Lion Lampard have combat strengths equivalent to demi-G.o.ds. A little 1 affiliated kingdom with two demi-G.o.ds? There isn"t another force in the Northern Region of Azeroth that can be compared to it. Time seemed to have reversed, and I feel like I"m seeing the scene where Zenit rose from being an affiliated kingdom to becoming an empire.”
“This sure is surprising. I also used the intelligence networks of the Imperial Knight Palace to investigate this. Mr. Hazel Bank seems to be a powerful figure who the Third Prince recruited after he became powerful. Even though he is mysterious, this isn"t surprising. What surprised me was Golden Lion Lampard"s ident.i.ty. He was only a water-elemental Three-Star Warrior. After he switched to cultivating lightning-elemental warrior energy, his strength skyrocketed. In less than three years, he became a powerful warrior who is close to the level of supreme masters. Such talent is shocking! Although genius generals under the Third Prince such as Drogba and Pierce also increased in strength, none of them are as powerful as the Golden Lion. We don"t know his background. The fact that he is following the Third Prince might mean that he is after something else.”
Akinfeev appeared a little concerned when talking about the masters of Chambord.
In the last year or so, Chambord had been growing in power quickly, and it threatened the Royal Family of Zenit. Therefore, the Imperial Knight Palace did a ton of secret investigations under Akinfeev"s command. Everyone at Chambord was investigated, and everyone seemed fine except for Golden Lion Lampard. This man"s growth almost wasn"t inferior compared to the King of Chambord, making Akinfeev worried.
Now knowing that King Alexander of Chambord was the missing Third Prince of Zenit, he became even more worried.
“Hehe, you don"t have to worry too much about this. This person is 100 percent reliable.” As if he knew something, Emperor Ya.s.sin smiled lightheartedly and said, “I met with this golden lion a long time ago, and I finally realized that this person was actually Brother Miasnikov"s friend. He is the last hidden card that Brother Miasnikov left in this world.”
“What? He is an acquaintance of Brother Miasnikov?” Akinfeev was shocked, and he got excited.

“That is right. Brother Miasnikov is indeed one of those rare geniuses who are also wise. He considered issues from many angles and was very careful. After he switched the Third Prince with the son of the old King of Chambord, Brother Miasnikov was determined to die. He was planning to use his and the infant"s death to eliminate the enemies" worries. This was the only way that they could be fooled. If those vicious and thoughtful people learned that Brother Miasnikov stayed in Chambord for a while, they would have killed all the infants who were recently born along Brother Miasnikov"s escape path. Brother Miasnikov"s plan did fool the chasing enemies, but he thought about another issue that couldn"t be overlooked.”
“Another issue? What problem?” Akinfeev was shocked.
“Brother Miasnikov thought about the case where the secret codes and marks that he left in the Royal Palace and along the way weren"t discovered by us. If that happened, no one would know about the Third Prince"s ident.i.ty, and there would be no way that the Third Prince can return to the Royal Family. Therefore, before Brother Miasnikov started his plan in Chambord, he connected with his junior brother using their secret method and met up in Chambord. He told his junior brother everything and asked the latter to protect the Third Prince. After this was over, his junior brother could then deliver the Third Prince back to me,” Emperor Ya.s.sin lamented, “Miasnikov, he was a great brother! He thought about everything for me and the Third Prince, but he didn"t think about himself. I owe him big time!”
“Brother Miasnikov was indeed the most talented and intelligent among the eight of us. If he were still alive today, he would have already become a demi-G.o.d and would be of great a.s.sistance to Your Majesty.” It was evident that Akinfeev admired Miasnikov who was like his big brother. After lamenting, Akinfeev asked, “Then, Golden Lion Lampard is Brother Miasnikov"s junior brother?”
“That is right. It is Lampard.” Emperor Ya.s.sin nodded and said, “I believe you remember that Brother Miasnikov was fortunate and followed a mysterious traveling supreme master, learning from this master for a while. He mentioned that he had a junior brother who was a genius and more talented than him.”
“You are right. I remember him saying that.” After thinking for a while, Akinfeev vaguely remembered Miasnikov saying these worlds. Back then, Miasnikov praised his junior brother all the time.
“This Frank Lampard is a brave and virtuous warrior. About 20 years ago, he was cultivating lightning-elemental warrior energy and already achieved peak Half Moon Realm. He was already a master, and he could have broken through the Moon-Cla.s.s and entered the Sun-Cla.s.s in a few years. However, after getting his senior brother"s letter and understanding the danger that was involved, he knew that this trip might change his life, yet he still came to Chambord without hesitation. He accepted his senior brother"s request, and he also did something shocking.”
“What was it?”
“He broke his peak Half Moon Realm and destroyed his lightning-elemental warrior energy. Instead, he switched to the water-elemental warrior energy. Because of this, he was severely injured, and he could barely keep his strength at Three-Star Realm,” Emperor Ya.s.sin sighed.
“Destroyed his own warrior energy? Why did he do that?” Akinfeev couldn"t understand it.
