Chapter 415: Three Ancient Ones (Part One)
"As you wish," Ribry didn't ask any more questions; he had a blind trust in Fei.
He and Shevchenko accepted the mission, left the watchtower, and started to prepare for it.
Fei nodded as he watched these two men leave.
Shevchenko and Ribry weren't a part of Chambord, but Fei liked these two men who were straightforward, just, and intelligent, and he wanted to bring them up from their current positions.
When Fei sneaked into the campsite of Jax that night, he gained knowledge on the supply paths of Jax by accident, and he knew that the new food supplies were going to get here by tomorrow evening. Therefore, Fei gave the opportunity of gaining a lot of military merits to these two. If they were successful, they would be rewarded by the Military Headquarter after the war was over, and they might even be promoted.
Of course, Fei could complete that mission himself, but he couldn't do everything in this war between two big empires.
After he passed more orders to secure the city, he gave the duty of guarding the city to people like Cech, Drogba, and Huerk.
Knowing that the watchtower he was in was secure, Fei opened up a portal and entered Diablo World.
He spent a lot of time in the night reading through the records in the Mayor's Mansion and trying to find more information on the underground ocean; he hadn't had the time to kill monsters to level up.
...
In Diablo World.
On the [Ancient's Way] which led to [Arreat Summit].
"You mean the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] will be 30 kilometers away from Dual-Flags City by tomorrow?" Fei asked.
"Strategist Aryang did say that; he is considering if he should send a master warrior to get through the invaders who have already surrounded the city and ask you for the next step or if he should order the troops to camp outside the city," Elena said to Fei as the wind fluttered her long red hair.
As the Valkyrie told Fei about the situation the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] was in, she shot out several arrows and killed a high-level demon [Succubus] that looked like a beautiful woman with a pair of wings on her back.
Whoosh!
After Fei dashed forward and chopped a high-level demon [Blood Lord] in half, he asked, "How are all the coordination between each team and each battalion?"

"Strategist Aryang said that most of the commands are being followed. There are a few affiliated kingdoms that don't listen to his orders; if it weren't for people like Ms. Cindy supporting Strategist Aryang, they would have split from legion already."
Elena didn't say much, but she told Fei what he needed to know.
"It is within expectation... Aryang doesn't have a noble status, and he doesn't have an official status in the legion; how could those kings be obedient? If I didn't emphasize that Aryang would be acting as the Second Chief-In-Command before I left, those kings who aren't used to being controlled this much would have caused big troubles already... I need soldiers who can fight... those nobles? I have ways to deal with them."
As Fei moved forward, killed several monsters, and stained the ground with blood, he was already thinking about whether if he should show his domination again.
After 30 minutes...
"Elena, be careful! We are almost at the summit of Mount Arreat! Three powerful Ancients are guarding the path."
Fei reminded Elena as they finally found the path that led to the summit of Mount Arreat.
This quest they were trying to complete was named [Rite of Passage], and it was given to Fei by Qual-Kehk who was a cavalier captain in [Harrogath].
Here's Why You Should Never Squash a Centipede
Nueey
Although Fei killed the evil elder Nihlathak who had fallen into a demon, the Relic of the Ancients was already given to the super boss Baal. Using the Relic of the Ancients, Baal had already passed through the summit of Mount Arreat. Therefore, Fei had to enter Nephalem that was located on the summit of Mount Arreat and stop Baal from destroying the world.
However, before Fei could enter Nephalem and stop Baal, he had to face another difficult challenge.
There was an ancient altar on the way to Nephalem, and it was protected by three Ancients. These Ancients were in a statue form, but they would become invincible warriors once someone tried to enter Nephalem without the Relic of the Ancients; the only way to enter Nephalem was to defeat them.
"Be careful! These three Barbarian Ancients are mighty! If it wasn't for the Relic of the Ancients, Baal could have died here."
Fei had to remind Elena again. This quest was challenging; when he was playing Diablo 2 on Earth, he died on the altar too many times, and he could never forget about it.
After seeing how serious Fei was, Elena nodded and got acutely aware.
...
Fei and Elena arrived at the summit of Mount Arreat after passing through a few tunnels.
Boom!
Before they could get a better look at the surroundings, the tunnels they just passed through collapsed and stopped them from turning around.
Fei walked in the front and protected Elena who was behind him.
It was a world of snow. Huge snowflakes were falling from the sky, and there was an altar in the front. Behind the altar, there was the cliff. With white clouds and strong wind around them, Fei and Elena could see the city [Harrogath] that looked like an ant far away; that was enough to prove how tall this Holy Mountain of the Barbarians was.
Not too far away from the altar, there was a huge waterfall that was completely frozen.
It looked like the water fell from the heaven as the origin of this waterfall couldn't be seen.
The waterfall was at least two kilometers long, and it looked magnificent.
Chapter 415: Three Ancient Ones (Part Two)
At the bottom of the waterfall, a massive mausoleum showed its edge behind the frozen water. Like a frozen city, it revealed one of its golden outer walls. This was Nephalem, and it was also known as [Worldstone Keep]. Super boss Baal already entered it and was about to destroy the world, but the black iron gate blocked Fei's path.
Fei's eyes finally landed on the altar.
Several structures and statues were standing on the altar in a pattern, and images of Barbarians fighting with demons were engraved on them. An ancient aura enveloped the altar, making it look very holy and majestic.
Three human-like golden statues were standing on the altar.
Looking from afar, Fei could sense the powerful auras from these statues.
These statues were holding weapons like axes and swords, and they had angry expressions on their faces. On this mountain where almost everything was covered in snow, these three golden statues were shining brightly with no snow on them; it felt like they were still breathing.
Fei took a deep breath and stepped onto the altar.
Suddenly, an old and deep voice sounded on Mount Arreat.
"We are the spirits of the Nephalem, the Ancient Ones. We have been chosen to guard sacred Mt. Arreat, wherein the Worldstone rests. Few are worthy to stand in its presence; fewer still can comprehend its true purpose. Before you enter, you must defeat us."
As soon as the speech was over, a golden light shone on the summit of Mount Arreat, and the golden light all concentrated onto the three statues. Gradually, the stone tone on them disappeared, and they opened their eyes; these three statues came to life.
They were the three Ancients – Talic the Defender, Madawc the Guardian, and Korlic the Protector.
As soon as the three statues came to life, red energy flames shot out of their eyes and enveloped Fei. The dominant sensation put a lot of pressure on Fei, and these three Ancients charged at Fei and Elena like ancient beasts who broke through the limitation of space and time; every time they stepped forward, the ground would crack open.
"Stand behind me!"
Fei shouted as he grabbed in the air. His Dual-Swords appeared in his hands, and he charged at the three Ancients with no fear.
Tink!
The Ancient One named Korlic who used a colossal ax used the skill [Leap Attack] and struck at Fei first. When Fei crossed his swords and blocked this strike, his wrist numbed, and he was forced back multiple steps.
Korlic was knocked back as well.
"So much power!"
Fei was shocked.
Since he was training in the real world as well, his strength level was far beyond the balance in Diablo World. When he encountered the boss-level monsters before, he was able to dominate over them. But now, he felt like Korlic who was only one of the three bosses was on his level.
"The Ancient Ones are indeed the most powerful entities in this world!" before Fei could finish thinking, danger approached him again.
Air-piercing noises sounded, and a few throwing axes flew towards him as they circled in the air; they were so fast that Fei even smelled the body odor of the Grim Reaper.
It was the skill [Double Throw] used by the weakest Ancient One – Madawc.
Madawc was able to identify this opportunity in battle and strike right at the moment, and it made Fei feel very weird; he wanted to dodge it, but he felt like he couldn't.
Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!
It was Elena's turn. She shot out multiple arrows, and they all accurately hit the axes in the air.
Chapter 416: Eliminate the Powerful Enemies (Part One)
Elena's arrows slowed down the throwing axes, and Fei was able to dodge the attack using skill [Leap]. But right after he jumped away, Korlic used [Leap Attack] at him again, and the huge ax chopped down at him forcefully.
"[Leap Attack]!"
Fei roared and used [Leap Attack] as well. Using his Dual-Swords, he mimicked the strike of an ax and collided with Korlic in mid-air.
Boom!
The mighty wind was created, and Fei and Korlic both got knocked back.
This time, Fei was in the disadvantage; his swords almost fell out of his hands as the skin on his hands were torn.
Korlic was an Ancient, and he was known for his [Leap Attack]. This Barbarian Skill reached a new height in his hands; it could be said that no one was able to understand the power and the essence of [Leap Attack] better than him.
Fei's [Leap Attack] was only level 12; the difference between them was huge.
As soon as Fei landed on the ground, a bladestorm came right at him. The summit of Mount Arreat turned into a sea of blades.
[Whirlwind]!
This was the skill that Talic was known for.
Fei instantly used [Leap] and dodged that fierce attack; he didn't want to take on that powerful attack head-on.
In just a few seconds of battle, Fei already got a clear idea of the power level of these three Ancients. Each of them had the ability to take him on, and it was no longer possible for him to defeat them in a dominating manner. This was the hardest battle that Fei had in Diablo World, and he had to take it slow and try to outlast them; that was the strategy he used in the game on Earth as well.
It was fortunate that Fei wasn't fighting alone; he had his powerful Mercenary.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A bunch of arrows and throwing axes were flying in the air.
Elena and Madawc who were both great at long-range combat fought with each other.
Here's Why You Should Never Squash a Centipede
Nueey
Although Madawc was more powerful, Elena was able to utilize the enormous stone structures and towers on the altar to dodge his attack.
While avoiding getting hit, she was able to counterattack effectively.
In the short term, no one was able to get the victory.
"Great! I shall kill Korlic, the weakest one among them, first!"
Fei thought about it and ditched his Dual-Swords.
Although the set items [Bul-Kathos' Children] was able to improve his power by increasing his statistics, Fei didn't put many points into [Sword Mastery], and he didn't know many powerful sword techniques. As a result, Fei's real power was being limited by his weapons.
After he ditched his swords, he lowered his center of gravity and pulled back his right arm. Instantly, the weather on the summit of Mount Arreat changed. A huge transparent fist mark appeared in the air, and it dashed at Korlic as Fei punched out and shouted, "[Sky Frost Fist]! – One Strike to Kill!"
Fei couldn't beat these Ancients in terms of proficiency in the Barbarian skills, but he had more strength than them. After all, Fei was now a level 91 Barbarian, and he added almost all of his attribute points to [Strength].
Here's Why You Should Never Squash a Centipede
Nueey
Boom!
Korlic was immediately knocked away by the fist mark.
Fei didn't chase after Korlic.
Even though Korlic lost one-fifth of his HP, Talic, the most powerful Ancient among the three used [Whirlwind], turned into a blade tornado, and struck at Fei.
[Leap]!
Fei jumped into the air, concentrated his strength, and struck at Talic using his [Sky Frost Fist].
Boom!
Talic was knocked away as well!
Fei gained a lot of confidence after seeing this.
He knew that the Goddess of Victory was tilting towards him and flirting with him.
Chapter 416: Eliminate the Powerful Enemies (Part Two)
In the next 15 minutes, it seemed like everything went according to plan.
After Fei used [Sky Frost Fist] for the tenth time, Korlic who used a massive ax as his weapon finally got his HP bar cleaned out.
After a roar that seemed to be filled with an emotion that could be interpreted as relief or anger sounded, a golden light shone on his body, and this light changed the environment.
This golden light turned into an unknown golden energy and dashed into the clouds from Korlic's body. Then, this golden energy fell from the sky and sped at Fei. This energy was traveling so fast that it entered Fei's body before Fei could react.
The king instantly felt a warm sensation throughout his body as if his body was being nurtured.
Then, something happened on the spiritual level. As if a dry seed finally received the proper rainfall, Fei felt a sense of comfort deep in his soul. As the bones in his body lightly crackled, a strange and unimaginable change was taking place in his body; all of these were beyond Fei's expectation.
At the same time, Korlic's corpse disappeared, and a statue reappeared in the center of the altar. The statue was holding a huge ax, and it looked like Korlic who just died.
This was what Fei remember from the game; after the Ancients died, they would return to the golden statue form.
The only thing that was different was that the golden energy that represented the essence of Korlic dashed into Fei's body and caused some great changes.
However, since Fei was still in battle, he didn't have much time to think. As a roar shouted, blade energies dashed in all directions. All the snowflakes that were falling from the sky were chopped into dust, and it seemed like everything on the summit of Mount Arreat was going to be destroyed.
[Whirlwind]!
No wonder Talic was known as the most powerful Ancient; the skill [Whirlwind] reached another level in his hands. Fei felt like this strike used by Talic was equivalent to the high-level Combat Techniques that Moon-Class Elites used; it was filled with the power of destruction.
For the first time, Fei realized that the skills of the Barbarians could deal this much damage.
[Leap]!
Fei jumped into the air and dodged again.
Using the same method, he just threw the transparent fist marks created by his [Sky Frost Fist] at Talic from afar.
Right after this powerful Ancient finish casting [Whirlwind], he could pause for a split-second. At this moment, his defense would fall to an all-time-low.
Fei was able to seize this opportunity every time and successfully strike Talic. Every punch from Fei was able to take away one-twentieth of Talic's HP.
However, Fei wasn't at ease.
[Whirlwind] was a crazy Barbarian skill that utilized the power of dual-weapons. When Talic used it, many sword energies flew in the air. Although Fei was using the best items he got and tried to dodge to the best of his ability, numerous wounds appeared on his body, and blood flowed out of the wounds continuously.
Boom!
Talic finally fell onto the ground and died after Fei punched out again.
Just like last time, the golden energy shot into the sky from Talic's corpse and then dashed into Fei's body like lightning. The king felt the sensation of being over-nurtured physically and spiritually again; every single cell in his body was moaning and cheering.
After this golden energy disappeared into Fei's body, one more statue appeared on the altar.
It was Talic's golden statue.
Suddenly, Fei noticed the third statue as well. It meant that Elena defeated Madawc right around the same time.
"Finally!" Fei smiled and looked at Elena's direction in fatigue.
As soon as Fei saw Elena, he was terrified.
Elena was leaning against a stone tower that was more than 100 meters tall and trying her best not to collapse. The bow that never left her hand was now on the ground, and there were a ton of wounds on her body as well. The most significant injury she had was on her waist; she almost got chopped in half horizontally. Although blood was flowing out of the wounds rapidly and her face was pale, she smiled as she looked at Fei.
"Elena... you are injured?"
Fei screamed as fear overtook him.
The wounds on Elena scared him more than the wounds on his own body.
He instantly rushed over and chugged a bottle of [Super Health Potion] into Elena's mouth.
"You are injured so severely... why didn't you notify me? Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"
Fei was anxious and mad at the same time.
He knew that this Valkyrie didn't want to bother him in battle; she didn't let out any sound when she was injured, and she killed Madawc using an injury-for-injury semi-suicidal method.
In reality, Elena's contribution in this battle was significant.
If she didn't block Madawc who was great at [Double Throw], the three Ancients would coordinate in perfection. Fei wouldn't be able to kill any of the Ancients if he had to constantly dodge [Double Throw], [Whirlwind], and [Leap Attack]. He might have died!
Chapter 417: Boost in Strength (Part One)
"Don't do this ever again, you hear me?"
Although Fei gradually calmed down after seeing the effect of the potion taking place, he had to remind Elena and instill that idea in her mind.
His worried and unsettled expression made Elena who was enduring a lot of pain laugh out loud.
"Laughing? You can still laugh?" Fei stared at Elena and growled, "If you do this again, I won't bring you on missions and quests anymore!"
A beautiful smile appeared on Elena's face as her eyes shone.
Although she didn't say anything, the stubbornness in her eyes told Fei that she would follow him to wherever he goes.
Any man would be taken by a beautiful smile like that, especially when the girl was usually a cold yet emotionless goddess.
Fei was no exception; Elena's smile almost blinded him.
It was just irresistible!
Fei lowered his head and kissed her on her red lips.
All of a sudden, it seemed like the summit of Mount Arreat turned warmer, and the snow turned purer and whiter.
After the kiss, smiles appeared on both Fei's and Elena's face.
However, since it wasn't the right place to get affectionate, Fei took out a few more bottles of potion and healed Elena completely.
"We don't have much time today. It seems like we can only kill Baal next time."
Fei couldn't wait! That was the last quest! As long as he entered [Worldstone Chamber] and killed the final boss Baal, everything would be completed in the normal mode. According to the construct of the game on Earth, he could be going into the nightmare mode. It was evident that this Diablo World wasn't a 100% copy of the game, so what was going to happen?
Fei felt like the opportunity for him to advance to a Moon-Class Elite was close.
"Alexander, I feel like something is changing inside my body..." Elena frowned and said to Fei; when she killed Madawc, that golden energy from Madawc also entered her body.
Trump's IQ is Finally Revealed - Try Not to Gasp!
Nueey
Before Fei could reply, changes occurred.
A beam of white light dashed down from the sky and enveloped Fei.
"I'm leveling up..." Fei murmured. Although this was the typical process of leveling up, Fei was soon surprised. "One level... two levels... three levels..." the king was shocked by what was going on. The leveling up process took way longer this time! When that white beam of light disappeared, he realized that he was already... level 99?!
"Leveled to the max? How? I got to the max level of 99 before killing the final boss Baal... what would happen once I kill Baal and his subordinates? Surpass level 100?" Fei was a little stunned.
By leveling up from level 91 to level 99, Fei got eight new skill points and 40 attribute points; it was a huge reward.
When he opened up his skill tree, he realized something strange.
Both [Leap Attack] and [Whirlwind] reached level 24; Fei remembered that he put little points into the two skills.
"Could it be..."
Men, Try This Tonight - You'll Never Need the Blue Pill Again!

Fei thought back to the golden energies from Korlic and Talic that got into his body. "Could it be that the golden energies were the essence of the two Ancients which contained their understanding of the two skills?"
"Alexander, I... I think I learned a new throwing skill."
Elena's surprised tone proved Fei's hypothesis. The golden energy that entered Elena's body was Madawc's essence which contained his skill [Double Throw].
...
Chapter 417: Boost in Strength (Part Two)
When Fei returned to the real world, it was in the afternoon.
The invaders of Jax still hadn't attacked the city; that quietness made everyone except Fei very confused.
By this time, Shevchenko and Ribry had already selected the 200 elite soldiers, and they were doing some final preparation for the mission tonight. The rookies in the militia were undergoing proper training, and their shouts were filled with motivation.
The streets got a little busy as well when some of the merchants resumed their business activities; the arrival of Fei and the herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion] brought everyone in the city a lot of hope.
"Go to the camp of the native forces and look for a low-level commander named Emile Husky; bring him here."
Drogba was confused by Fei's order. Although he didn't know why Fei needed to see a low-level commander, he followed the order and left the watchtower.
Fei stood on top of the west gate and looked at the sun as he thought back to the advice he got from the two magic boxes.
"Looks like I need to listen to the Elder Princess' and Paris' advice. Haha! These two women who see each other as mortal enemies have such similar ideas! So, the person who knows you the best is your enemy, huh?"
Fei found it funny when he thought back to the content in the magic boxes.
"Sir, the division manager from Soros' Merchant Group is here to see you."
At this moment, one of Fei's guards came up and reported.
"Soros' Merchant Group?"
Fei nodded and thought, "The manager from Soros Merchant Group is finally here to see me."
"Let him come in," Fei said.
"As you wish."
Fei turned around and went back into the watchtower. As soon as he sat down, the Ophiuchus Saint Seiya walked in with a merchant-looking man who was in his 40s.
This man was almost 1.9 meters tall, and he was neither fat and thin. His facial features were sharp, and his blue eyes weren't big. If someone looked closer, they could see the shyness in his eyes.
He had a smile on his face, and a well-styled yellow beard circled his smile. By just looking at him, one would have a hard time believing that this shy man who was wearing a traditional grey robe was one of the division managers of the most prominent business group on the continent.
However, Fei didn't underestimate this man.
If someone took an even closer look, they would find a trace of calculation in the deepest part of his eyes. His shy smile could instantly buy someone's trust and lower someone's guard, but he wasn't dumb. You could only find this look on someone who was brave yet intelligent.
"Such a terrifying person..."
This man's appearance could have fooled Fei if Fei didn't study this manager named Roman Abramovich. If Fei didn't know how this man terrified the desert bandits and became one of the most powerful and bloody figures in this desert region, he would have been fooled.
As Fei politely invited this man to sit down, he told himself that he shouldn't be fooled by this sly fox.
"I have been longing to visit Your Majesty, but I was afraid of bothering you during work. Therefore, I only dared to come here after you finished dealing with most of the complicated matter in the city," Roman said with a smile on his face; his tone was very polite.
However, Fei's Barbarian's sharp six sense told him that this man was carefully observing him like a merchant speculating a deal; he knew that this man was thinking if he was worth the investment.
"Could it be that Manager Roman came to the most dangerous place in Dual-Flags City to just visit me?" Fei asked with a smile on his face.
There were two meanings to the phrase "Most dangerous place in Dual-Flags City"; first of all, the watchtower on the west gate was the closest to the enemies; second of all, Fei killed the leaders of the seven noble families at this location, and this place was now a taboo among the nobles.
Fei heard about this phrase when talking to Husky last night, and he only laughed and didn't mind it.
"Of course, I have some gifts for Your Majesty. My division in Soros' Merchant Group is a part of Dual-Flags City, and I should contribute to the defense of the city," Abramovich stood up and laughed, "I have already ordered my men to bring the gifts with me, and they are now waiting at the feet of the defense wall. If Your Majesty don't mind, I can ask them to bring the gifts up here."
"Great," Fei raised his hand and signaled the Ophiuchus Saint Seiya to let those men in.
Soon, a series of footsteps sounded.
A few warriors who were wearing uniforms of Soros' Merchant Group walked into the watchtower. Most of them were One-Star Warriors, and they were using all the strength they got to move the six metal chests.
What surprised Fei was that Emile Husky was one of the people who was helping to move the chests.
Emile saw Fei as well. His eyes shone as he shouted, "Huh? Brother Fei, what are you doing here? Haha! I was wondering how you can scare Knite and those hooligans away, so you are working here? Haha, did you know? Majestic King Alexander just sent someone for me! Could it be that I'm really becoming His Majesty's guard?"
Chapter 418: A Smart Person's Decision (Part One)
For a moment, Abramovich was stunned. He didn't know who this dark-skinned man was.
"How dare he speak to the king of Chambord like this? From his tone, it feels like they know each other well... But it is obvious that he doesn't know who the king of Chambord is..."
Fei smiled and didn't explain anything. He waved at Husky and signaled him to come over.
"Your Majesty, this is..." Abramovich asked with a bright smile on his face.
"Let me introduce you guys to each other. This is a friend of mine who I just made. I hid my identity from him before."
Fei didn't hide his identity anymore. After he told Abramovich how he and Husky met each other and praised Jessica multiple times, he patted Husky's shoulder and asked with a smile on his face, "Emile, sorry that I hid my identity before. You don't mind it, do you?"
Husky was stunned.
His eyes opened wide, and he couldn't believe what was going on.
After a while, he finally reacted. He patted Fei's shoulder and laughed out loud, "So you are King Alexander His Majesty! Haha! Am I going to become your guard? Great! Nice to meet you, sir! I will do my best... Eh, sorry, sir! I shouldn't have touched you... I..."
This simple-minded man was so excited that he was all over the place and didn't know what to say. He didn't mind Fei hiding the identity at all! It seemed like this man never knew how to blame others and be bothered.
"It is quite unexpected, Your Majesty. No one expected you to do investigations around Dual-Flags City yourself, haha! I'm sure Your Majesty already got all the information you need. This brother named Emile sure is lucky!" Abramovich said.
He was quite surprised by what Fei did. "This king already quietly went around the city and got all the detailed information. What a nice move!" he thought; his impression of Fei got even better.
After he thought for a while, he proposed, "Soros' Merchant Group's Dual-Flags City division is short on a female manager. Since Your Majesty just mentioned that Emile's sister is smart and is capable of great things, I would have to risk offending you and Emile by asking her to join my division. Is that doable? Your Majesty?"
After founding out that there was a secret on Jessica that could be related to Angela, Fei had been trying to help the poor girl out. However, she couldn't join the military like her brother.
After considering all options, it seemed to Fei that Soros' Merchant Group that could take on the Mage Union, Mercenary Union, and the nobles was a great alternative.
Abramovich was a smart person. As soon as Fei praised Jessica who wasn't even present, he understood the intent of this king who just came into power.
This was a great opportunity for him.
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
From the tone the king of Chambord used, he knew that this king valued this girl named Jessica. If she joined this division of Soros' Merchant Group, it would almost tie the king of Chambord and himself together and put them on the same boat. This was much more effective than giving this king gifts.
Soros' Merchant Group was a massive organization; it had numerous divisions that resided in almost all empires and all regions. Although these divisions belonged to the same organization, the competition between them was fierce. By going from a slave who had nothing to a manager in this big organization, Abramovich had unique characteristics and methods that others couldn't copy.
However, he hasn't got a single promotion since he became the manager at this division in Dual-Flags City three years ago.
It was apparent to him that he couldn't go higher on his own. He was only a merchant who had some resources and some connections; if he wanted to get more influential, he needed a powerful ally who had similar potentials, and this ally had to give him strong support in the areas he lacked.
In the last three years, Abramovich had been accumulating resources and paying close attention to the situation in Zenit; he wanted to find an ally that matched his criteria.
King Alexander of Chambord's appearance did catch his attention.
In the beginning, Abramovich didn't have much faith in the king of Chambord. In this world where power, background, and influence were everything, what could the king of a level 6 affiliated kingdom do?
As the competition among the affiliated kingdom took place, this smart man quickly changed his mindset.
Here's Why You Should Never Squash a Centipede
Nueey
He saw limitless potential in this king; the kind of potential that would scare a lot of people.
Chapter 418: A Smart Person's Decision (Part Two)
After some careful observations, Abramovich found that this King Alexander was a potential ally that the gods gifted to him; in his mind, the king of Chambord was the perfect ally for him.
When he got ready and was going to go to St. Petersburg and meet up with this king, the shocking news broke out; Martial Saint Krasic died on the Martial Saint Mountain, more wars were declared, and the king of Chambord became the No.1 Commander of Jax Battle Zone.
This news excited him.
Shortly after, his old friend Redknapp from St. Petersburg sent him a letter recommending the king of Chambord and reminding him to network with this king.
Everything was happening in a sequence that Abramovich could only hope for; he felt like the Goddess of Fate was favoring him.
When Fei arrived with the 6,000 cavaliers, Abramovich started to monitor everything closely.
Heroically charging into the enemies to save Ribry, dominating over the head commander of Jax, executing the leaders of the seven noble families, arresting Mayor Soroyov, constructing the militia, creating temporary new laws...
All of these direct and ballsy moves helped Abramovich to decide on partnering up with Fei.
Therefore, he chose a time that he considered appropriate and came to see Fei with a lot of gifts.
When Fei indirectly expressed his relationship with this girl named Jessica, Abramovich immediately understood it, and he gave the invitation proactively. To Soros' Merchant Group that had a lot of money, paying and looking after a girl was nothing.
After hearing Abramovich's invitation, Fei nodded out of satisfaction.
However, he didn't like playing the role of a dictator. Therefore, he turned around and asked Husky who was still shocked, "Emile, what do you think? Should Jessica learn from Manager Abramovich and get involved in the business world?"
Husky felt like he couldn't comprehend the situation.
Even an idiot knew the influence of Soros' Merchant Group! Usually, people couldn't even get into the division of the group in Dual-Flags City didn't matter how hard they tried, but the manager of the division was inviting his sister to join? Husky was so overwhelmed that he didn't know what to say.
"I will listen to you. Whatever you say, sir!" in the end, Husky stopped thinking and replied with this firm response.
"Hahaha! Damn! Is your head full of muscles?" Fei joked with this simple-minded man.
The king was pleased with this answer; for some reason, this simple-minded man made him feel intimate and relaxed.
Fei said to Abramovich, "Since this is the case, then I will thank you in advance for looking after the sister of my friend."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Abramovich nodded and replied. He instantly valued this girl named Jessica a lot more after hearing what Fei said.
"Could it be that there is a deeper relationship between them? If this is the case, I need to be more serious," he thought curiously.
Of course, Abramovich knew that he couldn't become an ally to the king of Chambord using these small tactics.
On the Azeroth Continent, the most secure alliance was created by allies who could add a lot of values to each other. Therefore, Abramovich knew that he needed to show the king of Chambord enough reasons to treat him as an ally and not just a friend.
After thinking about that, he walked to the six chests.
Click! After he pressed a button on top of one chest, a series of cranking noises sounded, and the top of the chest opened up like a metal flower that was blossoming.
All sorts of colorful lights appeared in the dark watchtower.
Magic gems!
This chest contained various magic gems.
Fei walked up to the chest and picked up a few. He instantly sensed the chilling sensation, and his hand was lit up by vibrant colors. Although these magic gems were low-tier gems, there were tens of thousands of them; it was a great gift. Since Fei had the insane item [Horadric Cube] and was able to combine them to create high-level magic gems, the value of this chest was far beyond the market value.
The magic gems that Priest Zola at Chambord gave Fei as a present were almost all used, so these magic gems came at the right time.
Chapter 419: The Map of the Palace of the Sea God (Part One)
"Great! Since we are in a war, these magic gems would be important strategic resources; they could at least last [Earth's Protection] array for a month. Great! I will accept this gift, and I need to thank you for your generosity, Manager Roman," Fei said as he placed the magic gems back into the chest.
"No need to thank me, I'm just doing my part."
After seeing that Fei accepted the magic gems, Abramovich relaxed and opened the second chest.
More lights lit up the hall.
It was another chest full of magic gems.
Fei was a little shocked.
Two chests full of magic gems was quite a fortune. Priest Zola at Chambord only got less than a chest full of magic gems after taking bribes from everyone for about 20 years, but this division manager from Soros' Merchant Group was able to hand Fei more than 20,000 magic gems easily.
"No wonder Soros' Merchant Group is known as one of the most prominent organizations on the continent," Fei nodded as he thought.
Third chest...
Fourth chest...
Abramovich opened them one by one, and they were all filled with magic gems.
There was a lot of value presented by this manager.
Fei looked at this man who was still calm and thought, "Damn, this man is worthy enough to get my full attention. On the Azeroth Continent, wealth is also another form of power. It is evident that this mid-aged man is wealthier than I thought."
"Great!" Fei said as he reached out and placed these four chests into his storage ring.
Crank!
The fifth chest was opened.
This time, it no longer contained magic gems. Instead, it contained a few booklets and pamphlets

Fei picked up the one that was on the top and opened it. He realized that it was a huge map that had drawn everything in detail in the 250-kilometers radius around Dual-Flags City; it was far better than the map the Military Headquarter provided him with. This map pointed out places such as oases, water sources, ancient paths, dangerous locations, and even the headquarters of the desert bandits; the military map didn't have anything like those.
During the war, the value of a map like this couldn't be measured.
Although Fei didn't show his emotions on his face, he was changing his evaluation of this man. "It looks like he has control over channels and forces other than this division in Soros' Merchant Group," he thought.
The King quietly put back the map and picked up a booklet. This was a book on the locations of all divisions in Soros' Merchant Group and the associated managers. There was also a square golden token inside the book.
"Your Majesty, doesn't matter where you are, you can find a division of Soros' Merchant Group that is the close to you. Our channels could help you pass messages that aren't appropriate for other channels such as Zenit's Military. Of course, you can also borrow up to one million gold coins at any of the divisions, and this golden token is the VIP symbol," Abramovich explained with a smile on his face. Afterward, he added, "Too bad that these are all the privileges that I can offer you. Otherwise, there would be more perks."
Fei laughed; he understood the implicit meaning behind Abramovich's words, but he didn't follow up on that.
There were still some drawings and maps inside the chest. Most of them were illustrations of high-level magic arrays, but most of these illustrations were incomplete. Abramovich could probably trade these for money, but he had enough money already. He apparently decided to give them to Fei because a master warrior like Fei might get more value out of them.
Chapter 419: The Map of the Palace of the Sea God (Part Two)
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
Fei took a better look at these illustrations, and he realized that they were quite old. They were all drawn on fine leather, and there were a ton of magic pathings in these arrays. If these magic arrays could be complete, their power must be insane. Since Fei could use the help from Akara and Cain who were like mad scientists in this field and could potentially complete the magic arrays, he accepted these gifts willingly.
As Fei was about to look at the sixth chest, he suddenly sensed a familiar energy surge from the bottom of the fifth chest.
"This..." Fei took out the sheet of leather that was at the bottom of the chest.
There were some ancient texts on this dark leather made from the skin of an unknown but powerful Demon Beast. There was a natural pressure looming on this leather; although this leather had aged, and that pressure was minimal, it was still enough to make Fei a little scared subconsciously. When Fei caressed this piece of leather, he felt a pain as if many needles were trying to pierce through his skin.
Of course, these weren't the reasons why Fei was surprised.
The reason Fei was surprised was that there was an image of the mermaid-like creature on the right top corner of this leather; that image looked very similar to the images of the mermaid-like creatures Fei found in the Mayor's Mansion last night.
Except for the image of the mermaid-like creature, this square leather that was about 50-centimeters on each side also had some landscapes and buildings drawn on it, and some ancient texts were commenting on something. This leather looked like the map of an ancient city, but how did Abramovich get his hands on it?
Fei looked at Abramovich with that question on his mind,
"I found this map in the headquarter of a group of desert bandits in the territory of Jax. They robbed a lot of my merchandises, and I wiped them out with the help of some master warriors from Soros' Merchant Group. I found a lot of treasures, and this map was one of them. I have spent four years trying to decrypt this map by hiring a lot of professionals, but it got to nowhere; no one knew where this place is, and no one could understand the ancient texts," Abramovich told Fei honestly, "But some famous traveling poets predicted that this map is connected with a Mythical Ruin. Since I had it for four years and yield in nothing, I decided to gift it to Your Majesty and see if it could be useful for you."
This manager didn't lie.
This map was extraordinary, and anyone who wasn't dumb could tell. However, since Abramovich couldn't decrypt this map after four years, it was pretty much useless to him. No one was willing to pay a high price for it in auctions, and he wasn't ready to sell it for cheap. In the end, he decided to give it to Fei to show his good faith.
However, since he knew this map was pretty much useless to Fei as well, he didn't want to give it to Fei and leave a cheap impression in Fei's mind. But after thinking about it for a while, he somehow put it at the bottom of the pile and hoped for the best.
"The material is quite nice. If Manager Roman couldn't even decrypt it, I probably couldn't as well," Fei said as he calmly threw that map into the iron chest. After that, he laughed and continued, "Thank you so much for the gifts."
He waved his hand, and this iron chest was put into his storage ring.
A disappointed emotion appeared in the eyes of Abramovich. "Since even the king of Chambord couldn't see through this leather, then I guess it is useless..."
However, he didn't know that Fei was already shocked to the maximum.
The ancient texts that Abramovich said no one could decrypt were very familiar to Fei; those texts were in the language used by the people in Diablo World! Except for when he learned potion-making knowledge from Akara and magic knowledge from Cain, Fei also saw a lot of these writing in various locations in Diablo World.
Of course, he knew the meaning of those texts on this map; the name of this map was [The Palace of the Sea God]
This map contained a lot of detailed information such as the locations of the structures and the defense mechanisms in them... after connecting the dots, Fei felt like [The Palace of the Sea God] might be the buildings and structures he saw at the bottom of the underground ocean.
"There is a Mythical Ruin from the era of gods and demons at the bottom of Dual-Flags City?" Fei was very excited.
Abramovich gave him a big surprise unintentionally! Everyone knew the value of a Mythical Ruin! All the top-tier level 9 and level 8 Empires were all created by emperors who discovered and explored Mythical Ruins! It was reasonable to say that the cultivation techniques on the continent were found in Mythical Ruins.
From the map, Fei suspected that [The Palace of the Sea God] might be a level 6 Mythical Ruin!
With this critical map, Fei would be able to safely explore that underground ocean when he becomes a Moon-Class Elite. He would be able to avoid triggering the dangerous traps and explore this Mythical Ruin as if he was wandering in his backyard!
As Fei was trying hard to suppress his excitement, Abramovich opened the sixth chest.
Chapter 420: Second Base – Death Ancient City (Part One)
There were two swords with unique looks in the sixth chest.
The silver light reflecting off the body of the swords looked like mercury, and the chilly aura around the swords wasn't hidden at all. The swords were sharpened, but the tips of the swords weren't pointy; they were vicious hooks, making them look very strange. Each of the swords could be held with two hands, and their hilts were wrapped with black beast skin that could absorb sweat and increase friction. The two swords looked destructive and artistic at the same time.
Fei grabbed onto one and knocked it with his finger, and a crisp metal ringing noise resonated on the defense wall.
"Nice sword!" Fei praised.
He didn't know what material this sword was made from; it was quite heavy. Although it was only 1.6 meters long, it weighed about 300 kilograms; that was heavier than a massive ax made from pure metal. The body of this sword was reflective as a mirror; Fei could see his own reflection on it.
What attracted Fei the most was the forging technique used.
Fei had seen a lot of elite items in Diablo World, and he learned a lot of knowledge regarding forging from that busty female blacksmith Charsi. He could tell that these two swords were on another level; Charsi couldn't recreate them with [Demon's Remains] and [Black Iron Essences] yet.
"I also found these two swords from the headquarter of those desert bandits. Some people said that these swords are more than 1,000 years old, and the techniques used are similar to the techniques of the Dwarves who existed in the era of gods and demons. A bit of Mithril, Purified Iron, and [Golden Tear of Goddess] which are all Combat Weapon materials were added to the body of the swords. They have great magic energy and warrior energy conductivity, but they are just too heavy for normal swordsmen to use. I couldn't find anyone who could use them, so they have been sitting in my storage for a long time. Your Majesty is powerful, so these two swords finally met their righteous owner."
Abramovich said respectfully. He was a person who was good with words and great at observing others, and he just flattered Fei implicitly.
"Manager Roman, you are so considerate," Fei replied as he grabbed onto both swords. After he injected some energy into them, it seemed like the swords had their own spirits and let out a series of cheerful sounds.
Everyone in the hall was surprised by this.
Fei had the set item [Bul-Kathos' Children] as his weapons; the Dual-Swords were great weapons with a lot of additive magic properties. In terms of damage, what he had now was much better than these two swords Abramovich gave him.
However, for some reason, these two swords gave Fei a special handy feeling. After some thinking, Fei accepted these two swords and placed them in the slots where the Barbarian Character kept his secondary weapons.
In others' eyes, two dashes of silver lights flashed by, and the two swords disappeared into Fei's arms.
"It looks like the strength of the king of Chambord is far beyond anyone's estimations," Abramovich who was a Four-Star Warrior himself was surprised, and he was also more pleased with this person who he selected as his ally.
Fei accepted all six chests as gifts, and he laughed as he said, "Manager Roman, thank you for the gifts!"
"It is my honor to have Your Majesty accepting all of them."

Fei replied, "I don't like running around the bushes. I already know the intention of your trip."
A joyous expression appeared on Abramovich's face. He quickly stood up and bow as he laughed, "Since this is the case and Your Majesty is busy with your work, I won't take up more of your time."
"Ok, Jose, please safeguard Manager Roman down the defense wall."
"As you wish, Your Majesty!"
This Ophiuchus Saint whose name was Jose Rice walked Abramovich and his guards out of the watchtower and down the defense wall.
"Haha, Emile! Go and tell Jessica about what just happened quickly! If the people from Soros' Merchant Group got to her first, she might be scared," Fei laughed as he said to the simple-minded man.
"Yes, sir! I will go now... hehe..." a bright smile appeared on Husky's face. After he single-kneeled and saluted at Fei, he ran out of the watchtower in excitement. But after half a minute, he ran back and said, "Sir, I will be back soon."
Chapter 420: Second Base – Death Ancient City (Part Two)
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
This simple-minded man had a special aura around him. Fei felt like this Husky was like one of his brothers who slept on the upper-berth in the student residence back when he was in university; those brothers of his would always back him up didn't matter what happened.
Shortly after Husky left the watchtower, Shevchenko and Ribry came in. Every single preparation was done, and they were here to ask Fei when to move.
Fei nodded as he walked out of the watchtower and looked at the sun that was slowly disappearing on the horizon.
The king turned around and looked at the 200 elite soldiers behind the two commanders and stated, "You guys are the bravest and most powerful warriors in the city! You guys are the heroes of the empire! There are 200 of you right now, and I hope 200 of you returns safely tomorrow! Remember, I will have a party set up for you before the sunset tomorrow! Doesn't matter if you successfully burn the food supplies of the enemies or not, you all will get level 3 merit points!"
"Long live Zenit! Long live King Alexander!" the soldiers chanted in excitement.
At this moment, the last bit of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.
"Roll out!"
As Shevchenko and Ribry commanded, the 200 elite soldiers placed their hooks with ropes attached to the battlements and quietly got down the defense wall like agile monkeys. After that, they quickly dashed through the opening that the enemies left in the north direction and disappeared into the desert.
"Time for me to go as well," Fei thought as he calmed down after seeing this team successfully getting through the enemy lines.
He called over Cech, Pierce, Drogba, Huerk, and Kanort and gave a few orders, and he then switched to Assassin Mode and disappeared from Dual-Flags City; his subordinates were already used to his mysteriousness.
...
The wind was blowing in the desert
There was an ancient city located ten kilometers west to Dual-Flags City. Under the moonlight, all the ragged buildings, the endless shadows, and the lifeless sensation inside this huge city gave chills to people.
"Here! This must be the city that they were talking about."
Fei stopped and looked at the ragged ancient city.
"Is this the Death Ancient City in the desert? It is a place full of danger and death," Fei sighed as he quickly scanned the area with a 1,500-meters radius around him using his spiritual power.
He was about 1,000-meters away from the city, but he didn't step forward for ten minutes.
There was a huge area of red quicksand in front of him, and it could easily devour anything that stepped on it.
The quicksand surrounded the city and acted like the moat, and it was referred to by many traveling poets as the Death Sand River.
It was heard that any warrior who hasn't achieved Moon-Class would be swallowed by the quicksand when passing through it, and the corpse would become the food of the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants that resided under the quicksand.
This was the main reason why this ragged city turned into a death trap despite that fact that it was massive and most of the buildings in it weren't destroyed.
"Let me see how berserk these cute little guys are."
Fei thought as he quickly changed to Druid Mode.
His aura changed as nature essences appeared around him. When he waved his short wand, a cloud of white nature essences surged and turned into a white wolf.
Fei's Druid Character was level 69, and Fei put a lot of skill points into [Summon Spirit Wolf]. This wolf had the strength of Three-Star, and it could be counted as a Demon Beast.
"Go!"
After Fei commanded, this wolf roared and dashed into the red quicksand.
This wolf was ultra-fast, and it didn't get stuck in the quicksand at first. But after it sprinted forward for four seconds, something terrifying occurred. The calm red quicksand moat suddenly started to rumble, and dense black dots appeared beside the red sand grains.
Berserk Metal-Eating Ants!
These black dots were the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants!
Each ant was the size of a thumb, their black shells were shiny as gold, and their front limbs were like sharp blades. There were tens of thousands of these ants on the quicksand, and they instantly climbed over the wolf. In a split second, the wolf that could battle with a Three-Star Warrior disappeared before it could even let out a cry as if it was an ice cube that got placed in a heated oven.
"Terrifying! They are enough to block tens of thousands of soldiers," Fei evaluated these ants.
With memories from Earth, Fei knew that these tiny little creatures were terrifying once they reached a certain number. During the Second World War, the African Army Ants had devoured a modern elite force led by the infamous Nazi general Rommel who had the nickname of Desert Fox; there were 1,800 soldiers in the force, but they couldn't defend against those ants.
"This is the second base that both Tanasha and Paris recommended to me? This city and Dual-Flags City could compliment each other and sandwich the enemies, but how can I get the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] to enter this city?"
Fei decided to go into this ancient city first to check it out.
– P.S. It was brought to our attention by a fellow reader that the use of the term "Saint Seiya" isn't appropriate and we should just change it into the term "Saint". After doing more research into it, we agree with this recommendation, and the term "Saint" will be used from now on.
Chapter 421: Accumulation (Part One)
Although Fei was very close to the realm of Moon-Class and could easily defeat anyone in the Star-level, he still couldn't stand and travel in mid-air with no support. Therefore, he used the skill [Raven] and summoned the big bird. After he stepped onto the back of the big bird multiple times in mid-air, he finally got into the ancient city safely.
He looked around, and he felt like this Death Ancient City looked scary under the moonlight.
The colossal stone structures were bright under the silver moonlight, but that also contrasted with the dark shadows cast by them. The broad streets were empty and quiet, and the only things that were moving were the blowing wind and the ghost fires, A.K.A. the Will-o'-the-wisps that were dancing on top of white bones. This city looked like a city that belonged to the ghosts.
Sand grains were everywhere on the street, and the dry water wells were filled with sand as well. The ragged shrines and statues could still be seen, and a huge palace that was more than 400 meters tall was still visible from afar. Perhaps this city was too old, the roof of the palace had already partially collapsed.
After comparing everything to the age of the city, Fei felt like this city was in good shapes.
The defense walls around the city were all about 100-meters tall. Dense battlements and watchtowers were kept fine, but the only thing was that a ton of sand piled over them.
Fei stood still and scanned the area using his massive spiritual power.
"No signs of life. A dead city. The structural integrity of the city is fine, and this city could hold 30,000 soldiers, but..."
He soon discovered something strange; it seemed like a magnetic field enveloped the city.
Fei saw traces of this as soon as he entered the city.
The items on him that were made from metal all shook as they were being pulled down to the ground. Any average person would stagger in this situation, and he or she might not even be able to walk around with metal items on them. Only when Fei put away the metal armor of the Druid Character and put on a robe made from cloth and a pair of leather boots, that phenomenon he was experiencing disappeared.
"Could it be that this strange magnetic field is the real reason why this city has fallen?"
Fei walked along the streets and carefully observed the surroundings.
He quickly rejected his hypothesis.
There were a lot of skeletons lying on the ground, and they were weak; as soon as Fei touched them, they would break apart easily. From the weakness of the skeletons, Fei could tell that they were all civilians when they were alive.
A phosphorus light shone on these broken skeletons.
None of the skeletons was complete; it felt like Demon Beasts attacked them or an invading troop killed them.
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
After Fei walked forward on the main street for a bit longer, he saw a tall stone pillar with a ton of wooden cages hanging on it. The cages contained a lot of skeletons, and some of the skeletons were reaching their arms out of the cage; Fei could tell that these people were struggling to survive when they were alive, and they died from starvation.
He also saw a few crowns and some prestigious accessories on a few skeletons, and he felt like they were the royals of the city, and they got tortured here by their enemies.
Beside this stone pillar, there were a ton of sands. However, Fei was still able to see thousands of skulls. There was a small mountain made from skulls, and a few iron spears with skulls on them were stabbed into the ground in front of this mountain. Blue ghost fires danced on this mountain, and it looked creepy and chilling.
"These people are massacred.... A bloody massacre..."
When Fei walked pass this mountain, he felt like he could still hear the hoarse screams and cries, and it seemed like the souls of these poor people were reluctant to leave.
Fei searched around this ancient city, and he still didn't find any signs of life.
The nest of the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants was about 100-meters away from the city, and hundreds of millions of Berserk Metal-Eating Ants lived there. It was strange that those little creatures weren't interested in this city; put it in another way, it seemed like these creatures were a bit scared of this city.
"It seems like something in this ancient city is a nemesis to those ants; that is the only reason why those ants didn't occupy this city."
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
After he thought about that, Fei felt comfortable placing his troop here. If those ants could get into the city, 30,000 soldiers weren't even enough for a feast for all little creatures.
Chapter 421: Accumulation (Part Two)
"However, it seems like there is a magnetic field inside this city; metal weapons and metal armors couldn't be used at all... Both Tanasha and Paris didn't mention this in their notes. How can my soldiers be placed in here..."
Fei felt like there were some discrepancies between the reality and those two intelligent women's calculations; these discrepancies shouldn't exist...
"Could it be that this magnetic field only appeared after Emperor Yassin came here?" Fei shook his head and stopped thinking about that, "Let me find that secret tunnel first!"
In the notes those two women gave him, they both recommended Fei to use this deserted ancient city as a second base. This city and Dual-Flags City could compliment each other and sandwich the enemies in between.
Due to the existences of the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants, the vicious desert bandits never touched this place. Although it was rumored that a ton of treasures was placed in the city, the Moon-Class Elites had taken those away over the years, and this city was also not attractive in the eyes of adventurers.
The people of Jax also knew about this city.
However, they couldn't enter this place.
The red quicksand moat that was more than 500 meters wide and all the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants living in it formed an excellent natural defense that no elite troops could get through.
However, in the messages Tanasha and Paris had to Fei, they said that they read a book written by Emperor Yassin in the Royal Library of Zenit, and they found out that Emperor Yassin came to this ancient city when Dual-Flags City was being constructed. Although Emperor Yassin didn't find anything unusual in the palace in this city, he did accidentally discover an underground tunnel that bypassed the nest of the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants and led to a place outside the red quicksand moat.
Emperor Yassin didn't tell anyone about this; perhaps this wise emperor kept the secret so that it could be used in the future.
Fei quickly found that secret tunnel by following the instructions Tanasha and Paris gave him.
Almost everything in this Death Ancient City was built using a type of black stone that had magnetic properties, and this underground tunnel was no different. This tunnel was about five meters wide and more than four meters tall; three carriages could travel side by side in this tunnel, and cavaliers could also charge in here.
An underground tunnel like this was magnificent.
However, it was apparent that the creators of this tunnel didn't get to use it, and they were all killed.
Fei didn't find any corpses or bones in the tunnel, and there weren't any specks of dust. The only thing was that there wasn't any air ventilation in the tunnel, and there wasn't much oxygen. If Fei was an ordinary person, he would die after standing in the tunnel for too long.
Fei walked along the tunnel for about ten minutes, and he finally got to the end of it.
There was a huge two-sided stone gate that opened outward.
He was confident that a ton of sands was pushing on the other side of this stone gate.
Even if a Moon-Class Elite was here, he or she might not be able to open it.
Fortunately, the man standing in front of the stone gate was Fei.
After he switched to Barbarian Mode, he unleashed his crazy physical strength and pushed against the stone gate.
Boom! He pushed open the gate.
At this moment, all the sands rushed into the tunnel alongside the moonlight.
After air rushed in, it became easier to breathe.
Fei calculated the time and knew there were roughly five hours before dawn. He took out a pen and a piece of paper, wrote a letter, and summoned [Death Yellow Cape] Kashya from a blue portal.
"Ms. Kashya, please give this to Strategist Aryang in [Wolf Teeth Legion]; they are 30 kilometers to the southeast of Dual-Flags City."
"Ok."
Kashya packed the letter and instantly dashed towards the direction of [Wolf Teeth Legion] like lightning.
Fe, on the other hand, switched back to Assassin Mode.
He set up many magic traps around the exit of the tunnel, and he went back to Diablo World afterward in satisfaction.
...
There was only one last quest left.
Fei and Elena had already entered [Worldstone Keep].
This was a magnificent building. Compared with the gloomy and chilly underground tombs and dark cities Fei and Elena had been in before, the inside of [Worldstone Keep] was as fancy as a king's palace. The gold tiles with white cube decorations on the ground and the decorative ceiling all added to the luxuriousness of the building.
However, the laughter of the final boss Baal and the demons that were charging at Fei and Elena from all directions ruined it.
This was the most terrifying place in Diablo World.
All the demons and monsters here had great strength, and they had some basic intelligence. With magic weapons and armors, each of them was equivalent to a Four-Star Warrior in the real world.
There were three levels in [Worldstone Keep].
After four hours of killing, Fei and Elena finally got to the third level from the first level.
In the process, Elena had leveled up multiple times; she was now a level 84 Magic Archer and a level 46 Paladin.
Fei, on the other hand, was still at level 99. Although he got a ton of experience points, his level didn't change.
However, Fei was already prepared for this.
He wasn't worried; this was just an accumulation process. Once he got through [Worldstone Keep], entered [Worldstone Chamber], and killed final boss Baal, he would have completed all the quest in the normal mode, and the associated changes could occur.
Chapter 422: The Calm Before the Storm (Part One)
The final boss Baal was hiding in [Worldstone Chamber] which was connected to the third level of [Worldstone Keep].
However, its terrifying and arrogant laughter could be heard throughout [Worldstone Keep].
Baal's laughter was filled with pressure and murderous spirits. That intense violent and cruel sensation traveled through the area like waves, and the invisible power continuously hammered Fei's and Elena's eardrums and mental states. Anyone who was weaker than Fei and Elena could have fallen into a state of chaos and lose their minds.
When they finally reached [Worldstone Chamber], four hours had passed.
Fei didn't continue and kill the final boss; since there were more important matters for the king to take care of in the real world, Fei packed up the rewards that were dropped by the monsters and exited Diablo World.
...
The cold wind was still blowing in the desert.
After Fei returned to the secret exit of the tunnel that connected to the Death Ancient City and cleaned up the magic traps he set up earlier, he waited patiently.
After one hour passed, the sky turned brighter. There was a faint light appearing on the horizon, and it signified the beginning of the new day.
Suddenly, a series of loud clip-clopping noises sounded followed by the appearance of a team of cavaliers. Their weapons were reflecting the weak sunlight, and their presence was pressing.
"They are finally here?" Fei jumped onto a sand hill and looked in the direction of the cavaliers.
There were about 5,000 of them, and they were protecting a bunch of carts with supplies on them. The cavaliers who were leading the charge were wearing white capes and silver armors, and they were holding up flags with either a two-headed polar bear on them or a wolf head with shiny fangs on them.
They were the flags of Zenit and [Wolf Teeth Legion].
Fei relaxed a little. "It seems like everything went fine," he thought.
He instantly howled, and those cavaliers heard him.
"Where are you!" someone shouted, and they instantly rushed toward Fei's direction after Fei reconfirmed his location.
This troop got to Fei in about five minutes.

"Your Majesty! It is my honor to see you again!"
"Legion Commander, it is Cindy's honor to see you again!"
"Legion Commander, it is Reyes' honor to see you again!"
Old Aryang who was wearing a leather armor, [Magic Princess] Cindy who was wearing a black robe, and [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes who was wearing a white cape and a silver armor got off of their horses and saluted at Fei. They were all excited, and their nervousness disappeared.
"No need to complicate the process. There isn't enough time, so let's do this quickly. There is a secret tunnel behind me, and we need to get the food and supplies into the city safely. Also, notify everyone and make sure that they don't step into the red quicksand moat; there are powerful Demon Beasts living in there..." Fei had already switched to Barbarian Mode, and he said that as he lifted his hand; all three of them who were single-kneeing on the ground were uplifted by the invisible force.
"As you wish, I will organize everything and order the troops to enter the city."
Old Aryang who was now able to do some walking knew that the time was tight. He had a lot of things to talk to Fei about, but he decided to do that at a later time. After he saluted at Fei again, he turned around and started to organize the entry.
"Sir, we met again," [Magic Princess] Cindy dusted off the sands on her robe as she smiled at Fei; at that moment, it felt like a flower had blossomed, and it got rid of the darkness.

"Princess Cindy, it must have been tough traveling this much," Fei smiled and replied.
When this powerful female mage joined [Wolf Teeth Legion], Fei was surprised and joyous. A mage was much more valuable in a war, and Princess Cindy was a genius mage who mastered several powerful spells. Fei could sense the passionate heart under her cold and emotionless appearance.
"Hey, hey, hey! This is not fair! Cindy, you have never smiled like that in front of me who is ultra-handsome! Why are you smiling like that in front of the Legion Commander? Could it be..." [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes wrinkled at Cindy and joked with her.
"If you can defeat the Legion Commander in a battle, I will smile for you."
"Ah? Whatever... how can I match up to a monster like King Alexander?"
Chapter 422: The Calm Before the Storm (Part Two)
Fei smiled again after hearing the joking tones. At least it seemed like these two masters who all had strong personalities were becoming friends; it was a good sign. A united [Wolf Teeth Legion] was better than a [Wolf Teeth Legion] that was filled with internal conflicts. In a way, this level of harmony reflected the work that old Aryang had been doing.
At this moment, another series of clip-clopping noises sounded.
"It's the scouts of Jax! They are here!" the expression changed on [Silver Armored Vicious Sword]'s face. He asked proactively, "Sir, let me go and kill them all! We don't want them to know about our traces."
"Haha! Great! Let all three of us have a little competition to see who gets the most kills," Fei dashed towards the enemies as he said that.
"Ok! [Magic Wings]! [Floatation]! [Increased Speed]!"
Cindy shouted as she cast a few spells, and the magic elements in the area surged around her. A pair of translucent green wings appeared behind her back, and she flew towards the enemies quickly like a battle angel.
"Haha! Let me show you... [Joy Sorrow Sword]! [Separate Gather Sword]! Go!"
[Silver Armored Vicious Sword] shook his shoulders, and two dashes of chilling lights shot out of the mysterious sword box on his back; these two swords instantly traveled more than 500-meters and killed the four Sand Tiger Cavalier charging at the front.
There were only more than 100 Sand Tiger Cavaliers.
The scouts of Jax had noticed this troop of Zenit very early; they monitored this troop carefully when this troop entered the region close to Dual-Flags City. Therefore, a team of scouts of Jax had been following them closely and wanted to see what they were up to.
However, they didn't expect this troop that was only focused on charging forward to turn around and attacked.
"They had master warriors! Run!"
"Run in separate directions! Tell Prince Fairenton about this! Quick!"
The leader of the scouts knew something was off and instantly turned his horse around as he gave out a series of commands. All the Sand Tiger Cavaliers turned around and started to retreat.
Although this leader with the fast reaction didn't save his own life, it did allow three scouts to successfully escape. Those three scouts dashed into the desert, and the message was being passed out.
"Damn it! Sir, let me chase after them!" [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] wanted to charge after those scouts.
"No need! The invaders of Jax will know that a portion of the legion came here sooner or later. We have bought enough time, so it doesn't matter if they know about it now. We have more important matters to take care of," Fei shook his head and explained.
"Ok," Reyes rubbed his chin and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha! I killed the most enemies! Mr. Alexander, quickly give me the prize!"
As Fei dashed towards Death Ancient City, he laughed, "Did I say that the person with the most kills would get a prize?"
Cindy giggled, but Reyes didn���t have a comeback.
...
"Your Majesty, all the food and supplies are moved into the city according to the plan. Just like what Your Majesty said, there is a special magnetic field inside the city. All the metal gears won't work... most of the soldiers had switched to leather armors, and we have ditched most of the metal weapons and armors; that is how everything went smoothly."
Strategist Aryang saw Fei returning to the exit of that secret tunnel and quickly reported everything.
"Great! Let's make the next move! Pass my order! Leave 2,000 cavaliers here to clean up the city. Cindy and Reyes, you guys stay here as well to watch over everything and make sure that everything is secure," Fei gave out orders right away, "The rest of the cavaliers and Strategist Aryang shall follow me back and meet up with the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion]. The rest of the legion should use this opportunity and get into Dual-Flags City."
"As you wish!"
"Sir, let me go with you," [Magic Princess] Cindy suddenly stepped out and expressed her wish.
"Cindy, this ancient city needs to be watched over by someone powerful. It is better if you and Reyes stay here. If master warriors from Jax come, please kill them for me," Fei thought about it and rejected Cindy's proposal.
"Ok then," Cindy thought about it and nodded.
[Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes glanced at Fei and Cindy repeatedly with a meaningful smile on his face as if he discovered something.
After the two master warriors and the 2,000 cavaliers entered the city, Fei closed the stone gate that was more than ten tons heavy. After that, he used his power and stirred up the sand around the area; all the traces of this secret tunnel disappeared.
After everything was ready, Fei hopped onto the horse that a soldier got for him and led the 3,000 cavaliers with Strategist Aryang towards the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion].
It was almost dawn, and it was the most critical moment.
Chapter 423: Return of the King (Part One)
It was dawn, and everything was quiet.
Whoosh!
A big arrow with white fletching pierced through the air and struck the ground; the body of the arrow vibrated rapidly.
"Who is it? Stop right there!"
After seeing the appearance of a team of cavaliers and hearing the loud clip-clopping noises, Torres who was in charge of guarding the campsite shot out an arrow and shouted to warn the unknown troop. There were three more arrows placed on his bow, and he was ready to shoot them out if something felt wrong.
The rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] placed their campsite 30-kilometers from Dual-Flags City. When they set up the campsite, there were already scouts of Jax appearing around them; it was wartime, their enemies could attack and raid them at any time.
Close to dawn, Strategist Aryang received the order from the Legion Commander, and he left with carts that carried all the food and supplies and 5,000 cavaliers. Currently, Chambord's former No.1 Master Warrior Lampard was in charge of overlooking the campsite, and all the soldiers in [Wolf Teeth Legion] were aware and were ready for the enemies to show up.
When Torres heard the noises made the cavaliers and didn't get a response to his warnings, his mind instantly tensed up.
"If you don't declare your identities, we will shoot," Torres warned again as he signaled a scout behind him to report the situation to Lampard.
There was still no response.
A cold light appeared in Torres' eyes as he released the three arrows on his bow.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three big arrows left three white traces of afterimages in the air as they dashed towards the person charging at the very front.
At this moment, a powerful energy surge appeared and crushed the arrows into specks of dust.
"Hahaha! Fernando! Your archery skill improved again!" laughter sounded.
Torres' body instantly froze.
This voice was so familiar to him that he almost engraved it into his soul. After his expression froze for a second, he was overjoyed! He was so excited that his hands started to shake. He turned around and shouted at one scout behind him, "It is His Majesty! King Alexander is back! Go! Quick! Tell Mr. Lampard! Tell him that His Majesty is back!"

Nueey
Almost at the same time, a flag with a two-headed dog, an ax, and a sword on it appeared and fluttered in the wind.
It was the flag of Chambord.
The person leading the troop was the handsome king of Chambord!
"Your Majesty!"
Torres jumped off of his Roaring Flame Beast and single-kneeled down with the scouts around him.
"Haha! No need for all these complicated salutes. The time is tight; follow me to the central tent," Fei laughed.
The king was happy to see his guard as well. He could tell that Torres' strength increased a lot and was about to reach the level of mid-tier Five-Star. If a weaker warrior was in Fei's position, the three arrows couldn't be handled that easily.
"As you wish!" as if they found their spiritual pillar, Torres and the scouts around him hopped onto the Roaring Flame Beasts and hurried back towards the campsite of [Wolf Teeth Legion] with joy.

Nueey
Buuuuuuuu!
The loud bugle sounds resonated in the campsite.
The gate of the campsite opened, and commanders of all levels walked out with excitement on their faces. The person leading the way was a tough man with red hair and a huge black sword on his back.
"Uncle Lampard!" Fei jumped off of his horse and paid his respect to Lampard.
Chapter 423: Return of the King (Part Two)
"Your Majesty and Mr. Aryang are both back? Great! I only know how to fight, and I can finally give the burden of commanding troops to you guys!" Lampard replied. Although he was usually neutral and emotionless, he was relaxed and cheerful at this moment.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Oleg missed you so much!"
All the commanders and all the members of Chambord single-kneeled on the ground. All the Bylaw Enforcement Officers, the Saint Seiyas, and the leaders of Chambord such as Robbin and Oleg were all emotional. Especially Oleg; he was about to rush over to Fei and hug onto his legs.
Fei was touched by all the reactions as well.
All the emotions his subjects were expressing weren't faked; the king could sense it. Although fatty Oleg was exaggerating, his feelings were real as well.
After he kicked Oleg on the butt, he laughed, "I heard that you are being lazy again while I was gone!"
"Your Majesty! I've been wronged!" Oleg explained with a bitter smile on his face. However, he was actually happy that Fei did that; he knew that this was the king's way of expressing the intimacy. If one day Fei stopped kicking his butt, he would be worried.
Everyone laughed seeing this scene.
"Alexander... you are finally back?" a crisp and ear-pleasing voice sounded behind everyone, and all the people around Fei moved and created a path. The future queen Angela walked towards Fei; as she blinked her crystal-like eyes, tears appeared.
"Angela," Fei quickly walked up and hugged her. After he kissed her on the forehead, he whispered, "I'm back... I missed you."
Angela didn't say anything back, but she hugged onto Fei tightly with her thin arms.
"Eh, the long-faced devil is back... My good life is over..."
An unfitting sigh sounded, and it broke the warm and loving scene.
Fei frowned and looked in the direction of the voice, and who could it be if it wasn't the [Fallen Princess] Victoria who was lazy and loved treasures. It was obvious that this girl rushed out of her own tent in a hurry, and she didn't get a chance to change; she was still wearing a fancy dress with a lot of luxurious-looking accessories on her. She sure did look like a princess; her skin was smooth and shiny, and she looked gorgeous.
It looked like this girl was living comfortably in the legion without Fei's scolds.
After seeing Fei's stares, this pretty girl screamed and ran away. As she was running away, she explained, "I didn't want to dress up..."
Everyone laughed after seeing this.
"Huh? Why are you so quiet today?" Fei asked as he saw blonde loli Emma standing quietly behind Angela; she wasn't like herself today, and Fei wasn't used to that. After he pinched her cheeks and put her on his shoulder while ignoring her punches and kicks, he said to everyone, "The time is tight, and we can catch up later. For now, please return to your positions and listen to the orders from Strategist Aryang!"
"As you wish!"
All the commanders and soldiers replied.
...
...
Inside the campsite of Jax.
"Your Highness, I have something to report to you... when I dived into the water well that day, I discovered something strange," Inle who finally woke up inside the central tent reported to Prince Fairenton right away after he opened his eyes.
"Strange? Tell me slowly."
After seeing the earnest expression on Inle's face, Prince Fairenton knew that this matter might be serious, and he sent away the guards in the tent.
"Your Highness, it was like this..."
Inle recalled what had happened and slowly told Fairenton everything.
When Inle first dived into the water well, he didn't make any discoveries. Unlike the waters wells in Dual-Flags City where the water was clear, the water Inle dived into was very muddy. However, in order to complete the mission Prince Fairenton gave him, he made up his mind and dived deeper.
Due to his bravery, he was able to discover that mysterious city at the bottom of the ocean as well.
It seemed impossible for him to go that deep into the ocean, but he did make it happen.
He was a really good swimmer and diver, and somehow, he was able to minimize the insane water pressure at the bottom of the ocean.
The water closer to the bottom of the ocean was clearer, and Inle was able to see what was around him. He was instantly shocked! Who could have imagined that there was a vast ocean under the desert?
After he calmed down a little, he found out that what was causing the strange behavior of the water was an invisible force stirring up the ocean; it felt like there was a creature struggling to get free from the bottom of the ocean.
Technically, Inle could have returned to the ground and reported this to Prince Fairenton, but this man was too narrow-minded.
His mind was solely focused on figuring out the real cause of this strange phenomena for Prince Fairenton, and he decided to dive even deeper to have a better look.
Since the rope that was tied around his waist was already stretched to the maximum, he pulled out his knife and cut it off; that was why the cut was so clean when the soldiers of Jax pulled the rope out of the water.
Chapter 424: Ancient Bloodline (Part One)
Although Inle was good in water, no one expected him to be this amazing in it; it was unimaginable!
As a Four-Star Warrior, he was able to dive into the places that Fei couldn't even get to!
The insane water pressure was greatly minimized on him. When he was experiencing the water pressure that could easily crush a Seven-Star Warrior, Inle suddenly felt like something strange occurred in his body; as if a blockage in his body opened up, he was now capable of a level of agility and coordination that was far beyond his imaginations.
At that moment, he felt like he was a water-elemental Demon Beast and was able to swim anywhere.
In addition, he realized that his eyesight significantly improved underwater; he could see anything that was within a few hundred meters from him.
Therefore, the mermaid-like creatures and the structures at the bottom of the ocean that Fei could only sense using his spiritual power were seen by Inle using his eyes.
After hearing the story, Prince Fairenton fell into a moment of silence; he was thinking about something.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "When we were in Big Snow Mountain, my master had discovered that there is a strange Ancient Mystic Bloodline inside your body. It seems like this hidden bloodline is activated by you accidentally. Perhaps it is a water-elemental Bloodline, and that was how you survived in the water. Even if this is the case, it is still too dangerous! Since you reached the limit, why did you still go deeper? If I didn't go look for you, you would have died."
"I... I wanted to figure out what was at the bottom of the ocean for Your Highness..." Inle lowered his head and said with a guilty expression on his face.
"We would be able to figure it out sooner or later; you don't have to risk your life. I would be really hurt if you died."
Fairenton patted Inle's shoulder. This man who grew up with him was just like his real brother; wait, compared with his real brothers who were cold to each other and saw each other as potential threats in the royal family, Inle was even closer to him. Therefore, Fairenton didn't want anything bad to happen to Inle.
"I got it, Your Highness," Inle scratched his head. After he thought for a while, he suddenly lowered his voice and whispered, "Your Highness, I suspect that the buildings at the bottom of the ocean are a part of a Mythical Ruin that hasn't been discovered yet. It might even be a Six-Star Mythical Ruin."
"I already thought about that," Fairenton nodded as excitement flashed in his eyes. "This is an important matter! If this news got leaked, numerous powerful warriors and the powerful empires could rush to here. If that happened, even our empire couldn't get any benefits from it. Therefore, we have to keep it a secret." he said.
"Your Highness! Don't worry! Even if I die, I won't tell this to another person!" Inle patted his iron-like chest and swore.
A smiled appeared on Fairenton's face, but he then shook his head and said, "I trust you, but I'm worried that another person also knows about this!"
"Another person?" Inle was confused.
"Since the water acted strangely in our campsite, then it must have happened in Dual-Flags City as well. How powerful is the King of Chambord? He must have noticed something. I think the situation is far more complicated than we expect," Fairenton said as he shook his head with a concerned expression on his face.
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single

This prince was born with talent, and he was taken in as a disciple by a Moon-Class Elite from Cultivation Saint Land – Big Snow Mountain. He currently was less than 20 years old, and he was already an Eight-Star Warrior; that placed him in the top-tier of genius warriors in the region.
However, after he came to this war zone, he got defeated by Fei multiple times in terms of strength and intelligence; he got destroyed in battle, and most of the food supplies of his troops were burned... as if the King of Chambord was his nemesis, Fairenton's self-pride was completely shattered by this man.
He thought he would hate and would want to get rid of a person like that, but he felt like this genius King of Chambord gave him a strange feeling; he wasn't that envious and didn't hate this king that much.
"Maybe it is because that the King of Chambord isn't one of my brothers, and we don't need to compete for the throne? Who can be sure that the two genius warriors who belonged to two antagonizing empires won't become friends? But is that really suitable?" Fairenton was in a dilemma, and he couldn't make up his mind.
Chapter 424: Ancient Bloodline (Part Two)
At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the tent. Then, a guard reported to him that the scouts brought in the newest information.
"Bring him in!" Fairenton ordered; he stopped thinking about that complicated question.
"Your Highness! 5,000 cavaliers of Zenit left the campsite of [Wolf Teeth Legion] and entered the desert while avoiding us. They were headed towards the Death Ancient City, and we followed them closely. However, we were discovered close to the Death Ancient City, and only I made it back alive..." the scouts who survived the massacre reported to Fairenton. This scout was covered in blood, and there was still an arrow on his back.

Nueey
Bam!
After hearing the report, Fairenton clapped this scout's back with his palm without saying anything.
Everyone was shocked.
Tink!
The big arrow that had pierced into this scout's body was forced out, and Fairenton quickly pressed onto a few main arteries and Warrior Energy channels on this scout with his fingers; he was so fast that his arms left a series of afterimages in the air. What the prince did immediately stopped the bleeding.
He was healing this scout.
Everyone inside the tent calmed down; they were scared for nothing.
"Thank you for your service! You, please take this warrior to the healing facility for the full recovery," Prince Fairenton whipped his hand and ordered.
"Thank you, Your Highness," the scout was very touched.
Fairenton was a prince, but he was willing to use his own Warrior Energy to heal this low-level soldier. This unexpected move touched this scout who was worried that he might be punished. No one knew that this low-level soldier swore to himself that he was willing to die serving Prince Fairenton.
This scout was moved to the healing facility quickly.
"Pass my order! Call over all commanders who are above the rank of battalion commander! A meeting is being called!"
"As you wish!"
After Fairenton thought about something, he walked towards the map that was hanging off of the wall. After he looked at the location of Dual-Flags City, Death Ancient City, campsites of Jax, and a few ancient trails, he was shocked.
"Could it be... are the soldiers of Zenit planning to enter... Impossible! Other than the powerful Moon-Class Elites, no one was able to enter the Death Ancient City! The red quicksand moat and the numerous Berserk Metal-Eating Ants exists, and they are a barrier that no one could get through... but why would a team of cavaliers from Zenit go there? Don't they know about the dangers?"
Fairenton thought about it for a while and felt like that was possible.
After all, the Death Ancient City was located in the territory of Jax, and it made sense that the people of Zenit didn't know about the dangers around it.
Soon, the commanders entered the central tent.
"Erdous, you lead 6,000 Sand Tiger Cavalier and inspect the Death Ancient City. If you encounter the cavaliers of Zenit, make the decision that is appropriate in the situation; if you think you could win, attack and kill those cavaliers!"
Fairenton gave out an order.
"As you wish!" the commander named Erdous accepted the order and walked out of the tent.
"Kendo, you lead 6,000 Sand Tiger Cavaliers and go towards the Death Ancient City as well after 30 minutes. If Erdous is successful, you don't need to reveal yourself. But if he is trapped by the soldiers of Zenit and is in danger, charge in and combine forces. Make sure that the cavaliers of Zenit are all killed around the Death Ancient City!"
Another order was given.
This was an intelligent move.
There would be 12,000 soldiers of Jax around the Death Ancient City. Even if they encountered the 5,000 cavaliers of Zenit, they had the numbers advantage and would almost have a 100% chance of winning. Even though master warriors were crucial in these battles, the Warrior Energy one master warrior had was limited. If a Nine-Star Warrior was depleted of his or her Warrior Energy, he or she could be killed by ordinary soldiers.
Even the most powerful warriors weren't fearless.
"As you wish!" Kendo put on his black metal helmet and walked out of the tent in excitement; he was so blood-thirsty that he was already licking his lips.
To the soldiers and commanders of Jax, only battles could excite them. The two days of pure defense already caused a little uproar in the campsites.
"Pass my order! Increase the number of scouts we have around the campsite of [Wolf Teeth Legion] and closely monitor them! If anyone at Zenit is behaving strangely, report back to me as soon as possible! The reinforcement of Dual-Flags City would for sure try to get through us and get into Dual-Flags City today. According to our plan, they would be all captured and killed if they try to get through our defense line, haha!"
Fairenton gave out a few more orders, and he was feeling great.
"As you wish!" all the commanders replied.
"Your Highness, if the King of Chambord makes his move, no one on our side could defeat him..." someone notified the prince carefully.
With a smile on his face, Fairenton replied with confidence, "Don't worry, I already found the solution."
