Chapter 756: Fame (Part One)
"The injuries in your body are too much," Fei frowned and said. He discovered that there were a lot of hidden internal and external injuries on Constantine's body.
Right now, Constantine's internal organs had clearly shifted locations, and it was a severe side-effect of practicing the [Seven Injure Fist]. Like a lot of water on one side of a big dam, there was the danger of overflowing. What was more dangerous was that once all these hidden injuries couldn't be suppressed anymore, no one would be able to cure Constantine. Just like how the water can crush a dam when it was over capacity, the same thing could happen to Constantine's body.
Aside from the hidden injuries, there were a lot of external wounds on his body; they were obtained after several days of battle.
The most terrifying wound on him went from his left shoulder to his right thigh, almost making him break into two halves. Although the injury already stopped bleeding and formed clots, it now looked black and ugly.
"I'm already fortunate enough to be alive." Constantine was a tough man, so he laughed and continued, "These injuries will be recovered sooner or later. However, if Your Majesty didn't appear today, Byzantine would have been conquered and wiped out, and the southern coastline of the Empire would fall into the control of despicable Leonians!"
Fei took out a bottle of red [Health Potion] from his storage ring and handed it to Constantine. Then, he said, "Heal up first. We can talk about other things later."
The [Health Potion] from Diablo World had miraculous effects for healing all kinds of external injuries, but it was also depended on the strength of the people who were being healed; the same dosage would be less effective toward the more powerful people. In addition to the bigger size of the wounds and potential energies left by more powerful opponents, the more powerful people had more life energy, and more potion was required to replenish that.

One bottle of [Health Potion] was only enough to heal the less significant external wounds on Constantine's body.
After the effect of the potion was over, Fei switched to Paladin Mode and used the skill – [Prayer].
"Ha!" Fei was instantly covered by a powerful and warm light as if he were a god, and everyone in the command center on [King Alexander] sensed that their stamina which was used during the battle was being replenished quickly. Also, some of the small injuries on their bodies were healed.
Fei reached out his hand which was enveloped by a golden light, and he caressed that deep and shocking black wound on Constantine's body from top to bottom. Under the light of the golden flames, streaks of reddish-black smoke leaked out of the wound; these were the residual fire-elemental warrior energies that were still causing problems in Constantine's body.
After doing this several times, the serious external injuries on Constantine's body were finally healed.
���Hu… that was troublesome. Unfortunately, my paladin character's level is too low, and it is still in the Normal Mode. If I can bring it into Nightmare Mode, my paladin's character's healing ability would be much greater, and it wouldn't be so hard to heal a wound like this. It looks like I have to focus on balancing the powers of all my characters!" This thought appeared in Fei's head as he switched back to his barbarian character.
Since Constantine had accumulated a lot of hidden internal injuries in his body from practicing the [Seven Injure Fist] by force, it was quite severe, and ordinary doctors and priests couldn't do anything about it. Only the power of Fei's barbarian character, which was in the Sun-Class Realm, could help with it.

In the next few days, Fei temporarily stayed at the Capital of the Byzantine Kingdom.
Since he had to create momentum and increase the morale of the soldiers, Fei didn't hide his identity.
Soon, all the Zenitians in the Green Wind Province heard the news from the Byzantine Kingdom. They learned that the Byzantinians obtained the first complete victory in the war against the Leonians in the southern region of Zenit, and close to one-fourth of the navy of Leon got destroyed.
The most important thing was that they understood the reason why the Byzantinians obtained victory – King Alexander of Chambord who was known as the Imperial Martial Saint and Zenit's Battle God came to the southern region of the Empire.
Chapter 756: Fame (Part Two)
This sudden good news made the Zenitians who were suffering from the pain of war and the suppression of the enemies see hope. It was no different from people seeing a sliver of light in complete darkness.
Without needing orders, many refugees, deserted soldiers, the royal families of the affiliated kingdoms in the region, the officials and nobles of the Empire, mercenaries…
Many people rushed toward the Capital of Byzantine like a flood, and they were seeking the protection from Zenit's Battle God, King Alexander.
What happened a few days ago during the defense battle of St. Petersburg was already being spread around the Empire by the No.1 Traveling Poet of the Empire, Matt Razi, and his peers. Under the promotion of the Empire, almost every Zenitian learned about it.

During the dark times where Zenit had to face the invasion of the Ten-Empire United Troops, the appearance of a Sun-Class Lord who saved the situation and fought back against the enemies was crucial. Fei became the spiritual pillar of many Zenitians at this moment.
All Zenitians believed that the Zenit Empire wouldn't be conquered as long as such an invincible master was here, and their enemies would pay a hefty price.
The power that hope could bring to people was insane! In less than two days, more than 200,000 people had gathered at the Capital of the Byzantine Kingdom.
The Green Wind Province that was almost destroyed by the war started to show vitality and regrow as if it was grass in the spring.
Different from the Zenitians who were cheerful right now, the Ten-Empire United Troops that had been committing hideous crimes in the southern region of Zenit were all anxious now that they heard this news as well, and they couldn't help but feel scared.
On the day that the news about the Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit coming to the southern region spread, the united troops that had been active around the Byzantine Kingdom instantly backed hundreds of kilometers away from the Capital of Byzantine as if there were an outbreak of a deadly disease.
They quickly dropped their actions of killing civilians of Zenit and kept a low profile as they escaped.
After calming down, some people in the united troops doubted the validity of this claim.
They felt like the King Alexander of Chambord should be inside St. Petersburg right now after that defense battle. Why would such a big shot who could influence the lives of many people come here to the southern region? To save civilians? This idea was like a joke to many people.
"To the Royal Family of Zenit, is there anything more important than protecting the Capital City?" people thought.

Therefore, the Ten-Empire United Troops sent ten Six-Star Warriors on the third day and formed an elite suicide squad. They blended in with the refugees who were headed toward the Capital of Byzantine and wanted to figure out what really was going on.
In order to not show any weaknesses, these ten masters dressed like refugees and made a few 'friends'.
[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]
Unfortunately, a blond young man in white appeared on the defense wall of the city while the refugees were entering.
This handsome young man who looked like an elf didn't say anything. He simply stood in the sunset as his blond hair fluttered in the wind, and he pulled his bow and shot out ten arrows consecutively. As the bowstring vibrated, ten green lights dashed through the sky and shocked the city like beautiful fireworks.
The ten arrows looked like ten small meteors.
Among the ten masters of the united troops, most of them were turned into pieces on the spot before they could even dodge or escape. The last person didn't die instantly, but his right arm was nailed into the ground, and he wasn't able to move!
After shooting the ten arrows, this blond archer disappeared from the defense wall as if he were never there.
That last master of the united troops had to do whatever it took for him to survive. He chopped off his right arm and dashed away with his tail between his legs. He was the only lucky person to leave here alive!
After this incident, no one doubted the validity of the claim anymore.
The handsome archer who appeared on the defense wall was one of the 12 gold saints of Chambord. He was also the King of Chambord's guard, [Son of Wind] Fernando Torres.
[Son of Wind] was always around the King of Chambord! The King of Chambord was at Byzantine!

After this test, the Ten-Empire United Troops was pushed into a passive mode, especially with the situation inside the Green Wind Province. Although there were sneaky and quiet hidden battles, nothing significant like the siege of St. Petersburg happened. Although the Leonians and the surviving Ormondians were still supporting the Ten-Empire United Troops, the forces still kept its complete control and discipline, and they basically gave up all military operations within the Green Wind Province.
It was hard to believe that the name of one person could make this happen.
One person was more effective than hundreds of thousands of soldiers!
In just three days, the Capital of Byzantine became the center of the Green Wind Province during this war. A ton of refugees and defeated soldiers of Zenit came into the city, and it was great news for the Byzantine Kingdom. The inflow of young men helped its issue of the lack of population for filling the army.
Under the conscription order of Emperor Yassin, King Constantine of Byzantine had the ability to recruit as many soldiers as he could. To the refugees, being feed well and fighting the evil invaders with weapons wasn't a bad option. In fact, to many refugees whose relatives and loved ones were killed by the enemies, they were eager to kill as many invaders as they could to vent the anger on their minds.
On the second day that Fei arrived, King Constantine of Byzantine started constructing the new army.
Ad by Valueimpression
This was a crucial opportunity for him and the Byzantine Kingdom to grow stronger and get more powerful!
Although the Byzantine Kingdom was small and didn't have much land, it had been accumulating resources for about a year before the war broke out. Also, with the support from Chambord, it was wealthy to say the least.
Being an intelligent ruler, King Constantine already moved the wealth of the kingdom out of its capital city before the war. Therefore, even though there was a great influx of refugees, he didn't need to worry about feeding them and keeping them equipped in the short-term.
Also, since Fei didn't take anything from the tons of spoils of war that were a result of the battle on the sea, weapons, armors, arrows… all kinds of military items filled up the warehouses of Byzantine like mountains after everything was counted.
Out of more than 70 battleships of Leon that were captured, 30 to 40 of them were slightly damaged, and they could be put into battle again after some easy repairs.
With these resources in hand and enough people, the Byzantine Kingdom could construct an army of more than 10,000 people and a naval force with more than 150 battleships in five to six days!
This was exactly what King Constantine did.
With the Imperial Martial Saint temporarily residing at Byzantine, the Byzantinians' status increased by a lot, and all kinds of policies and orders were passed down and followed without pushback. The morale of the people in the Capital of Byzantine was high, and they were confident in their Martial Saint. They were all waiting for Fei to lead them to launch the counterattack!

Constantine was busy every day.
Except for greeting Fei and asking him for advice once in the morning and once in the evening, this young king put all his energy into the management of his kingdom. The ground force and naval force were being put together in order, and many mercenaries who were strong but orderless also joined the military, becoming the key members of the army.
The entire Capital of Byzantine was in an upbeat atmosphere. With hope and perseverance written on their faces, the people finally showed smiles at this tough time.
Although King Alexander of Chambord who was the guardian of the Empire in many people's minds didn't show his face, his guard Fernando Torres whose nickname was [Son of Wind] had appeared around the city. That was enough to prove everything.
With a powerful Sun-Class Lord in the city, the people here felt safer even if the defense wall was made from mud rather than steel.
A force that could affect the war significantly was on the rise in the southern region of Zenit.
…
Chapter 757: How Long Can You Last as One? (Part Two)
Fei had stayed in a hotel in the Capital of Byzantine.
He didn't accept King Constantine's invitation to stay in the King's Palace of Byzantine, and he rarely got involved in the internal affairs of this kingdom. Even when King Constantine came to his residence to ask for advice, he only hinted at the potential solutions without giving his clear opinion. This allowed the young king to make his own decisions and grow up quickly along with his forces.

Aside from nurturing a big force like the Byzantine Kingdom in the southern region of Zenit so that the movement of the Ten-Empire United Troops would be hindered, in terms of changing the passive stance of the Zenit Empire in this war, Fei also stayed here so that he could get more information from King Buckingham of Leon who got captured.
After a few days of observation, Fei discovered that Buckingham's strength was recovering fast. In about three days, Buckingham returned to the state of an ordinary person, and he was recovering even though minimal measures were taken.
Except for the initial weakening, it didn't seem like there were any significant long-term side-effects after that red skeleton left his body!
This discovery surprised Fei and made him curious.
On the evening of the fourth day, Fei met this captive from the Leon Empire officially in the backyard of his residence. Buckingham was the most prestigious captive from Leon by far.
After four days of recovery, this young man who looked about 24 years old was no longer pale, and redness could be seen under his skin. His thin face also got chubbier, and he looked more like a head commander again.
Even though he was now only wearing ordinary robe made from rough material, the stubbornness and arrogance were still in his eyes, and he stood straight like a spear.
Fei waved his hand, and Husky walked up and took off the magic shackles on Buckingham's body.
Right now, Buckingham was only on the level of a normal human. Even if he returned to his prime, he couldn't do anything in front of Fei. Escaping was not even possible in his dreams!
It was clear that Buckingham had a clear understanding of his situation, so he didn't plan on escaping. He picked a stone chair that was facing Fei, walked over boldly, and sat down with his back straight. Then, he looked at Fei calmly in a high spirit.
Even though he seemed calm, Fei could sense the provocation and haughtiness in Buckingham's eyes.
Despite them being enemies, Fei had to admire Buckingham's presence and temperament. When he was commanding the navy of Leon, Buckingham was able to make the correct decisions. When in this terrible situation, he was still able to keep his composure. Compared with that legendary Prince Gomi, Fei felt like this man in front of him was the noblest person from Leon.
"Although I'm already a prisoner, don't think about getting any information from me. I won't tell you anything about the military operations of the Leon Empire," Buckingham said after he fixed his hair and clothes. After a short pause, he added with a provoking smile, "What can you do? Even though you are a Sun-Class Lord, what can you do? Our Emperor Juninho of Leon had reached Sun-Class many years ago, and our ally, the level 8 Ormond Empire, has more than ten Sun-Class Lords. You are only one person; how long can you last against ten empires? Why don't you work for the Leon Empire? You don't have to die, and your blood won't be spilled on the battlefields!"
Chapter 758: Why Not? (Part One)
Fei smiled after hearing what Buckingham said.
"This King Buckingham sure is interesting. He is a captive, but he doesn't seem like one. Rather than begging for forgiveness, he is trying to persuade me?"
After waving at his simple-minded guard, Husky, who was already angry and was about to punch Buckingham, Fei smiled and said, "Ok. Since you are not willing to talk about the Leon Empire, then I won't force you. How about we change the topic? Let's talk about that red skeleton. How did you discover it? I want to know what kind of demonic contract was signed between you two."
Buckingham was a bit surprised and didn't expect the King of Chambord to ask him such a question.
After a moment of thinking, he decided to shut his mouth.
Although he acted haughty and calm, he had to admit that he was nervous on the inside while facing this legendary man. It wasn't about his current status as a captive. Instead, it was a pressure that was coming from the spiritual level. He kept on reminding himself that anything he says may cause unrecoverable harm to the Leon Empire, so he decided not to say anything at all.
With a smile on his face, Fei added, "I believe that this matter is not relevant to the Leon Empire. Therefore, I hope that you can answer me honestly. I respect you as a commander who had made the correct decisions and sacrificed yourself for the ordinary soldiers. I don't want to make this hard for you. After all, I have many ways of getting the answers to my questions. For example, there is spirit searching…"
Ad by Valueimpression
As he said that, Fei glanced a rock that weighed more than 500 kilograms, and that huge piece of rock instantly levitated into the air.
Buckingham's face instantly changed color. Although his strength didn't recover, his understanding of power and knowledge were still there. He could tell that the King of Chambord didn't use any warrior energy or magic energy. Instead, pure spirit energy was used.
In legends, the masters who were proficient at spirit energy techniques could search through their opponents' memories by force, accessing the information that they wanted to know without the owners' permissions. However, it was heard that such techniques were cruel and vicious, and the people who got their memories searched would end up with incomplete souls or utterly shattered souls. After that process, they would lose consciousness and be similar to undead creatures for the rest of their lives.
As soon as Buckingham saw that huge piece of rock being lifted by Fei's spirit energy, he instantly understood that the King of Chambord had mastered the spirit energy, and the latter probably knew techniques that could search through his memory.
Buckingham was shocked. Even though he was unwilling, he thought about it and had to tell Fei everything that had happened in detail including how he ended up with that red skeleton inside his body and the soul contract. Since it wasn't related to the Leon Empire, he didn't feel that guilty about this.
Fei listened carefully and nodded along. After hearing the whole story, he asked, "So, a mysterious master whom you never met before came to you the night before you left the Leon Empire with the troops? You didn't see his face, and you don't know who he is? You signed the contract, and he planted that seed inside your body? You could activate the contract at critical times and get a power that is hundreds of times greater?"
"Yeah," Buckingham nodded.
"Since you don't know him, why would you trust him? And why did you sign the soul contract with him? Aren't you afraid that it is a trap?"

"He is really powerful; he is at least a Sun-Class Lord. I couldn't fight back even if I want to. Also, he explained all the consequences to me, and he knew what my needs are. When I learned that I would have to lead the troops to attack Zenit, I was already preparing for the worst…"
"Preparing for the worst?"
Chapter 758: Why Not? (Part Two)
"That is right. To the commanders of Leon, the worst situation would be meeting powerful Sun-Class Lords like you. I know what this war means to the Empire, so I must consider everything as a commander. It was already a great risk when the Imperial Military Headquarters didn't send any powerful masters with me. Although that mysterious person listed some severe conditions, it was a good choice for me at the time." With a pleased smile on his face, Buckingham added as he stared at Fei, "By sacrificing myself, I was about to add more security to the fleet of Leon. It was a great option. Besides, it already proved that my bet paid off. If it weren't for that bloody skeleton which was planted into my body by that mysterious master, I wouldn't have been able to stop you for that long, and more than half of the battleships of the fleet of Leon in this war wouldn't have been able to escape. If I didn't sign that contract, the entire fleet might have been destroyed already!"
Fei kept his silence at this.
In his mind, King Buckingham was a respectable opponent, a real noble, and a qualified commander.
At the same time, the king got alerted.
The consecutive victories made himself and the other Chambordians very proud. The Chambordians were prideful and brave, but they forgot that heroes existed in every kingdom and empire.
Many heroes appeared in the Zenit Empire when the enemies invaded, and they showcased their unparalleled bravery and passion. The Leon Empire was much larger and had more population than Zenit, so it didn't lack talented geniuses and heroes as well.
To Zenitians, this war was started by the despicable invaders. However, this war was something more significant and holier in the eyes of the soldiers and commanders of the ten empires in the alliance. Expanding the reach of their empires was the goal and aspiration of many soldiers.

Even though some of the soldiers were timid, afraid of power, and escaped from the battlefields, a lot of them were still proud of their empires and were willing to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of their empires!
Buckingham wasn't going to be the last Leonian who acts this way.
Then, Fei tried to get more information on that mysterious master. However, Buckingham didn't know much. In Buckingham's memory, that mysterious master was wearing a big black cloak and a mask. During the entire process, he didn't say a word. Instead, he used a rare spirit energy technique and communicated with Buckingham directly using spirit energy transmissions.
Since almost no information could be gathered on him, this master was even more mysterious.
[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]
The only thing that Buckingham was sure about was that this mysterious master wasn't a member of Leon.
"That is all I know. I hope that you could keep your promise and don't force me to tell you anything about the military information of Leon. Otherwise, I'm willing to die rather than giving you the opportunity to use the spirit searching technique!" As soon as Buckingham said that, he shut his mouth and looked stubborn and perseverant. If Fei said anything more about the military of the Leon Empire, he was going to smash his head against the stone chair and commit suicide before Fei could get any information.
Fei nodded and didn't pursue the topic.
He pointed out his finger, and a gust of golden energy flames dashed into Buckingham, blocking the 72 energy connections in the latter's body.
Even if Buckingham recovered his energy and went back to his prime, he wouldn't be able to use his full strength, and he couldn't escape at all.
"In six days, I'm going to go to the Leon Empire in person. Mr. Buckingham, are you willing to be a free tour guide for me?" Fei asked as if he suddenly had a strange idea.
Buckingham's body shivered as a rare, surprised expression appeared on his face.
He didn't expect the King of Chambord to have such a crazy idea.
"He wants to go into the Leon Empire? Does he want to die? Although it is hard for Sun-Class Lords to die, it doesn't mean that he is invincible. The Royal Family of Leon is loaded, and there are a few Sun-Class Lords. In addition, the Royal Family has many magic items and Moon-Class Elites. If it wants to, it can use a lot of its resources and kill the King of Chambord inside Leon!" he thought to himself.
After recovering from the extreme shock, Buckingham got back his composure and said lightly, "If you dare to go, I'm more than willing."
Fei laughed, "Why not?"
Chapter 759: The Strange Setup (Part One)
In the next two days, Fei still kept his low profile and didn't show his face in the Capital of Byzantine.
As time passed by, the situation in the Empire changed drastically, and all kinds of news came out of St. Petersburg.
First, there was news about Second Prince Dominguez of Zenit.
This prince who didn't show any military talent in the past demonstrated his great knowledge and ability in this field.
In the northern territory of Zenit, he successfully gathered and created a temporary troop that had about 40,000 soldiers. These soldiers were sent from various affiliated kingdoms, and Second Prince Dominguez gathered them together and launched counterattacks at the enemies who were executing missions in the northern territory of the Empire.
In just a few days, he led the army and defeated all enemies, making the northern region of Zenit able to connect with St. Petersburg again!
It was a big achievement since St. Petersburg was no longer an isolated city that was surrounded by enemies!
This performance earned Dominguez a lot of fame and positive coverage among the officials of the Empire and the citizens.
Although he still couldn't be compared to Zenit's God of War Arshavin, he was starting to showcase his talent in military matters. To the people who sided with Second Prince Dominguez and were having a hard time breathing under the pressure of Crown Prince Arshavin, this was great news!
The reason why a lot of people still favored Second Prince Dominguez in this situation was that he befriended an unparalleled master like King Alexander of Chambord.
The King of Chambord and the Crown Prince had a hostile relationship, but he was friendly toward the Second Prince.
However, in this defensive battle at St. Petersburg, the King of Chambord and the Crown Prince showed rare tactical understanding and worked together to turn the situation around, alleviating the intense pressure between them.
In many people's minds, once Zenit's Battle God and God of War stood together, it would be disastrous for the Second Prince.
Now that Dominguez was showing his talent and was closer to the King of Chambord, he had a higher hope in obtaining the throne in some people's eyes.
Except for that news, other news surprised many people.

Under the order of the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters, Fourth Prince Chrystal who was not in people's attention before was appointed to the position as the head commander of the [Gigantic Force Legion], one of the ten former main battle legions. This legion was instructed to leave St. Petersburg and head to the southern region as one of the main forces of Zenit that would take on the Ten-Empire United Troops.
[Gigantic Force Legion] was one of the former main battle legions of Zenit, and it had a history longer than 20 years that was filled with glory and honor. Before, it was under the control of one of the most influential noble forces, the Beag Family. After years of careful management, the soldiers in the legion and their supplies and equipment were all top-tier. The newly formed legions couldn't be compared to it.
The fact that the Royal Family appointed Fourth Prince Chrystal as the new legion commander of the [Gigantic Force Legion] showed its intention of wanting to give a boost to this prince.
On the fifth day, the Imperial Military Headquarters sent out a new internal memo through its unique channel that was established during the war.
In less than ten days, the conscription order from Emperor Yassin who was still severely ill was perfectly executed and realized. In this short amount of time, ten new legions were constructed.
Right now, seven out of the ten former main battle legions of Zenit still had their combat abilities. Out of the ten new legions that the Empire created for the war against the Spartax Empire, the Eindhoven Empire, and the Jax Empire, six of them were kept. Therefore, the Zenit Empire now had a total of 23 stacked legions!
Each of the legions had about 30,000 soldiers. With the addition of the 40,000 soldiers under the control of Second Prince Dominguez, as well as the private soldiers who belonged to the various noble families and affiliated kingdoms, the entire Zenit Empire had more than 800,000 soldiers at the moment!
Even though Fei had already mentally prepared himself, he was still shocked to his core when he learned that information.
Chapter 759: The Strange Setup (Part Two)
After all, Zenit was only a level 1 empire. Even if Emperor Yassin had been managing the Empire with great care and accumulated a lot of resources, its territories and population were limited.

A level 1 empire was able to rack up more than 800,000 soldiers in the war. Would that mean level 8 and level 9 empires on the Continent could recruit as many as tens of millions of soldiers?
Even though Fei wasn't too familiar with the wars and battles on Earth, he knew that the United States only had about 1.3 million soldiers. The numbers that were flashing in Fei's mind stunned him.
"This magical world couldn't be measured with the same metrics on Earth…" Fei thought to himself.
In honesty, Fei didn't know how much supplies and food that a military of more than 800,000 soldiers would need. However, he knew that since he was in a world where magic existed, the limitation of space and time was looser. Many things that couldn't be possible in Fei's mind when he was on Earth became a reality in this world.
In addition, the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters of Zenit weren't idiots.
"Since the military of Zenit racked up so many soldiers, then there shouldn't be an issue feeding the soldiers and equipping them, right?" Fei thought to himself.
With the same logic, Fei thought about the terrifying potential that the level 6 Leon Empire and the level 7 Ormond Empire could have if they were pushed to a desperate situation. Just this thought gave him chills!

On the sixth day, the internal memo issued by the Imperial Military Headquarters passed down the final battle plan.
This plan shocked many spectators.
As Zenit's God of War, Arshavin who was the perfect candidate for the chief commander position didn't get his chance. Also, it seemed like the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters also didn't have the determination to put all the soldiers into this war and get a quick victory. All ten new legions were ordered to stay close to St. Petersburg, and Crown Prince Arshavin was in charge of training them. It was unknown when the new legions would be used in the war.
The Empire was only putting a little over 200,000 soldiers into the war in the southern region, and they were divided into two groups.
Second Prince Dominguez led the first group. This group was comprised of the 40,000 soldiers that he obtained by gathering random troops from other affiliated kingdoms, and they were now his personal legion. In addition, there was the [Fast Wind Legion] and the [Burning Flame Legion] that were both constructed after the competition among the affiliated kingdoms at St. Petersburg. There was in total a little over 100,000 soldiers.
Also, the masters from the Imperial Patrol and the Imperial Senate went with him.
They were going to attack the enemies in the southern region from the southeast, and their target was the troops of the level 6 Legion Empire that were camped in the Red Leaf Province.
The second group was led by Fourth Prince Chrystal who wasn't that famous and was pushed out of the battle for the throne. This prince who didn't have that great of a reputation finally got the chance to prove himself. On top of gaining control of the [Gigantic Force Legion] which was a top-tier legion in the Empire, the [Tornado Legion] and the [Tsunami Legion] also went with him. In addition, he received the full support from the Beag Family, and it was heard that Beag Family's princess, Beag Beyonce, also went with Fourth Prince Chrystal to the frontline. They were going into the southern region from the southeast, and their targets were the armies of the smaller empires in the Ten-Empire United Troops.
It seemed like the decision made by the Royal Family was really strange.
Even though about 200,000 soldiers were sent into the war, it felt like they were only there to fulfill their duties roughly. It seemed like the decision makers at Zenit weren't that interested in taking back the six provinces in the south that were taken from them, and a lot of people had a hard time understanding their intent.
Also, even though it seemed like Crown Prince Arshavin lost the opportunity to increase his influence in this war, he still had complete control of his [Iron Blood Legion]; this legion wasn't put into the war.
Also, the ten new legions were given to him to train. People believed that in a short amount of time, these legions would become his personal legions as well. It seemed like someone was protecting Zenit's God of War who was in the spotlight recently so that he wouldn't be dragged into this messy mud pit.
Chapter 760: The Mysterious Prince (Part One)
Second Prince Dominguez finally got his opportunity to lead an army, but it was not that unexpected. After all, this prince was known for his talent and intelligence, and Emperor Yassin loved him. However, the appointment of Fourth Prince Chrystal was something that many people didn't understand. Everyone knew that this prince was someone who couldn't be helped. He was arrogant, lacking talent, and short-sighted.
After all, this war wasn't child's play! Giving more than 100,000 soldiers to someone like him seemed like a rash decision! Many people felt like this quick and unreasonable decision by the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters was going to come back and harm the Empire!
"Could it be that Emperor Yassin who is severely ill is trying to test all the candidates and pick the person for the throne?" people thought.
Emperor Yassin had ten kids, four boys and six girls. Except for Crown Prince Arshavin, Second Prince Dominguez, Fourth Prince Chrystal, and Elder Princess Tanasha who were mature, the other five princesses were all too young. Second Princess Cheryl was only 14 years old, and she wasn't given the official title yet. Therefore, she wasn't active in the noble circle at St. Petersburg.
Out of Emperor Yassin's ten kids, the most mysterious one was the Third Prince.
Except for the birth record and the title, everything else about this prince was a mystery.
According to the memories of the elderly ministers, this prince alongside his mother, who was the most beloved queen of Emperor Yassin, disappeared one-month after birth. Since this queen was not from a noble family, all kinds of rumors were passed around.
Some people said that this queen who had an ordinary background offended Emperor Yassin, so she was asked to commit suicide with her son. Others said that Third Prince died due to illness right after birth, and that queen soon passed away because she was too sad and couldn't live on. Also, some people believed that this ordinary queen was mighty and left Zenit after giving birth to the Third Prince, and some people stated that the Third Prince was talented and was taken as a disciple by a very powerful master.
Except for Emperor Yassin and a few elderly ministers who knew a thing or two, no one else had any idea about the Third Prince.
The only thing was that even though this Third Prince never appeared, the Royal Family didn't remove his title and take his name off the record. The Third Prince's mansion in St. Petersburg was empty for all these years, but it was well-managed and fixed by the Royal Family. Although it cost money and resources to keep up this empty mansion, it wasn't stopped. Therefore, it seemed to suggest that this mysterious Third Prince was still alive in this world.
Fei was quite curious about the mysterious Third Prince was well.
Using the [Letter Office]'s networks in St. Petersburg, Fei tried to get more information on the Third Prince. However, nothing came up, so he had to give up on his curiosity.
Since it seemed like Emperor Yassin was trying to pick the next right ruler of Zenit, all the old events were mentioned. According to the laws and traditions of the Empire, all the mature princes could become the next emperor, and the person with the most abilities would be picked. Therefore, the Third Prince who disappeared but was still alive was also a candidate, and he couldn't be overlooked.
No one could say for sure that the Third Prince who had disappeared for a long time would never jump out from somewhere and fight for the throne.
Fei's curiosity was intrigued again at this news.

Nueey
However, that was only a momentary thought. After all, Fei had more important things to do at the moment instead of trying to learn about the gossips surrounding the Royal Family of Zenit.
Right now, the most urgent matter for him was to figure out what was going on with these skeletons, whether it was the golden skeleton that got revived or that bloody-red skeleton.
Fei had a feeling that these things were connected. Therefore, the king was determined to go to the Leon Empire after hearing about that mysterious master from Buckingham. He wanted to see if he would be lucky enough to run into this mysterious master or at least get some clues.
In addition, going to the Leon Empire wasn't that big of a detour from the original plan, so it wasn't a big change.
Chapter 760: The Mysterious Prince (Part Two)
-The seventh day-
Fei received the intelligence report from the [Letter Office], and he learned of shocking news that the Royal Family didn't spread using the official channels.
After the united troops confirmed that Fei was inside the Capital of Byzantine, they formed an assassination squad made of all Moon-Class Elites and tried to kill all the prominent members of the Royal Family and the ministers when no top-tier masters were protecting St. Petersburg.
In the beginning, this plan was working, and it went smooth, taking Zenitians by surprise.
The assassination squad quickly got into St. Petersburg and destroyed the troops who were there to stop them, getting very close to the Royal Palace of Zenit.

Nueey
Just as they were about to wipe out the entire Royal Palace, a mysterious master suddenly dashed out of the Royal Palace and killed the entire assassination squad; none of the Moon-Class Elites survived. They were all exterminated on the square about 100 meters away from the Royal Palace.
This mysterious master didn't disclose his identity, and he only appeared for a few seconds.
According to the description of the intelligence worker of the [Letter Office], just as the Royal Palace was about to be broken, a dash of blue light suddenly rushed out and instantly destroyed more than ten Moon-Class Elites in a few moves, including a peak Full Moon Elite and a level 9 mid-tier Full Moon Elite.
That mysterious master was enveloped by a blue light, and no one saw what he looked like and what techniques he used. However, one thing was clear; this mysterious master was a friend and not an enemy. In addition, this person might be a Sun-Class Lord or very close to it.
This news surprised the people in St. Petersburg to their cores, and it shocked their enemies. It wasn't less significant compared to the news that the King of Chambord was a Sun-Class Lord.
In fact, the Royal Family of Zenit was even more mysterious in people's eyes.
"How can a level 1 empire have such a vast accumulation of power?" they thought to themselves.
The Ten-Empire United Troops failed again. They were trying to take advantage of Zenit when the King of Chambord wasn't in, but they lost more than ten Moon-Class Elites again.
Including the Moon-Class Elites who were killed by the King of Chambord during the defensive battle at St. Petersburg, the Ten-Empire United Troops had lost more than 20 Moon-Class Elites! Even though this alliance comprised of ten empires, such losses were too much to take!
Many people were trying to guess the identity of that mysterious master, and all kinds of rumors were passed around.
However, only Fei knew who that mysterious master was.
With this person inside St. Petersburg, the city would be safe even if the enemies got a Sun-Class Lord to attack Zenit.
This was one of the reasons why Fei was confident enough to leave the Empire and go on a trip.
…
-The eighth day-
Something else happened in Zenit that caught people's attention.
Chambord sent out an elite team of 300 bylaw enforcement officers that was led by Lampard and Old Aryang. They joined the forces of Second Prince Dominguez and participated in the battles in the southern region of the Empire.
Although 300 soldiers weren't much in the grand scheme of things, it was an important signal.
Many people were speculating and felt like the King of Chambord who was now the Imperial Martial Saint was telling others that he was still standing on the side of Second Prince Dominguez.
It was public information that Lampard was one of the 12 gold saints of Chambord, and he was the Gold Leon Saint. His strength had reached Moon-Class, and no one knew exactly how powerful he was.
Most importantly, this man was one of the most trusted people of the King of Chambord, and he was the King of Chambord's respected senior. The fact that he was leading the soldiers showed the great support that Chambord had toward the Second Prince.
However, a lot of people weren't familiar with Old Aryang, the strategist.
Right now, no one knew how this insignificant person in their eyes was going to change the outcome of the war in the southern region of Zenit and the fate of the Empire.
By the time they realized who this person was, he would already be one of the most brilliant generals of the Chaos Era.
Chapter 761: Troublesome Flies (Part One)
-The ninth day-
The two troops of Zenit had finally rallied and moved out of St. Petersburg.
More than 200,000 soldiers headed toward the southern region of Zenit in two groups. In this Chaos Era, any military movements could potentially determine the fate of the entire empire. Since the war was resumed, that intense atmosphere hovered above the head of every citizen of Zenit.
That night, King Alexander of Chambord had the last meeting with King Constantine of Byzantine in the hotel that he stayed in.
"This technique, [Seven Injure Godly Fist], is based on [Seven Injure Fist] but more refined. I had spent some time to analyze [Seven Injure Fist] carefully, and I have refined it to improve its power. Now, it is a high-level Moon-Class Technique, and its top-limit is no longer Eight-Star. Also, [Seven Injure Fist]'s internal damage to the user is also eliminated. With your talent, you have the chance of mastering this technique and pushing it to the Full Moon Realm!" Fei said as he handled a booklet with golden strings on it to King Constantine of Byzantine.
"Thank you, Mr. Martial Saint!" Constantine was really excited, and he could barely contain himself.
[Seven Injure Fist] was the technique that brought him his fame, and it had helped him defeat many powerful enemies. It was the thing that made him.
However, [Seven Injure Fist] had limited power, and it could only be considered a top-tier Star-level technique. It was far from Moon-Class, and its limitation on the level made Constantine stuck at peak Eight-Star, and he couldn't have more progressions.
Also, [Seven Injure Fist] would cause severe backlashes and injure its practitioner. Even though Fei taught Constantine a wood-elemental cultivation technique which excelled in healing and instructed the latter to use it with [Seven Injure Fist], the backlashes couldn't be completely avoided. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many hidden internal injuries in Constantine's body.
Now, the new [Seven Injure Godly Fist] completely changed the situation, and Constantine could advance further on the path of cultivation.
"Here is the [Green Ocean Revival Technique]; it is a wood-elemental Full Moon Technique. Also, here is a godly herb, Dragon Transformation Grass, that can help you advance your physique and improve your potential. With your current talent, you might be able to break into Moon-Class within half a year. Now that you are one of the most influential figures in the southern region of Zenit, you have to increase your strength on top of the military power of Byzantine!" As Fei said that, he took out another booklet and a godly herb from his storage space.
"Mr. Martial Saint, this… I… I… I don't feel worthy of all these treasures!" Constantine said. Although the things that Fei mentioned were enough to attract almost everyone's attention, and many warriors would go crazy and be willing to kill each other for them, Constantine wasn't a greedy person. He was very thankful toward Fei, but he was feeling unease. After all, he owed a lot to the King of Chambord.
Fei said with a serious expression, "Take them; don't be so hesitant and unsure. I'm just doing this for the overall benefit of the Empire."
After Constantine expressed his attitude repeatedly, he took these precious items carefully.
"Um, it is better for you to take this Dragon Transformation Grass right now. I will give you a hand."
You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today
Nueey
Fei thought about it and decided to help Constantine as much as he could while he was here. After all, the godly herb would create a strong nature phenomenon after being consumed, and it would attract a lot of attention. Besides, it would be hard to digest the godly herb in a short time, and its effect wouldn't kick in really quick. Therefore, before Fei left the Byzantine Kingdom, he could use his insane Sun-Class power to help Constantine absorb as much essence of the godly herb as possible. Otherwise, the essence of the Dragon Transformation Grass might be lost since Constantine was only a Star-level Warrior, and the strong effect of the godly herb might cause a backlash and harm him. If that happened, it wouldn't be worth it.
This process took about one hour.
Chapter 761: Troublesome Flies (Part Two)
After Constantine absorbed a portion of the essence of the godly herb, he instantly broke into Nine-Star. The godly herb did help with this process, but it was also due to Constantine's accumulation at Eight-Star and his talent. From now on, his path wouldn't have any obstacles before he advanced into Moon-Class.
After absorbing the essence from the Dragon Transformation Grass, Constantine bowed at Fei again. Since he saw that Fei was in a good mood, he paused for a second and asked with some hesitation, "Your Majesty, you stayed here for nine days. Are you really going to leave tomorrow, just like how it was planned?"
"Eh." Fei nodded.
"Then… then… Right now, there are a lot of nobles and officials who want to see you. They all admire your power, and they want to meet you in person. Therefore, I have arranged a party at the King's Palace tonight, and I hope that…"
"Hahaha!" Fei thought back to the intelligence report that he got from the branch of the [Letter Office] in the Byzantine Kingdom and knew Constantine's troubled situation.
Although Constantine was hesitating, his goal was simple, so Fei didn't reject it. He smiled and replied, "Ok, I will go with you tonight and meet these nobles. That way, I can get rid of these flies for you!"
Constantine was overjoyed after hearing what Fei said.
…
-The Capital City of Byzantine-
As the night fell, the city was lit up by lights.
Although this city wasn't as advanced as Chambord City in terms of its magic systems, it had its own unique style and appearance. The Byzantine Kingdom was on the coastline, and it rained quite frequently. In order to get rid of the rainwater, many of the buildings had pointy roofs and looked like towers. It was quite different from the cubic-styled buildings at Chambord, so it was a beautiful and new scenery for the Chambordians.
Fei's arrival at the King's Palace was sensational.
All the influential figures and noblemen who were here at the party were surprised and thrilled.
Most of these people were noblemen who were commanders in the legions of the military that lost to enemies or high-level officials in the cities that were conquered. They were inside the territories which were controlled by the enemies, and they had been trying to hide from the searches of the enemies for days. They wanted to return to St. Petersburg, but they couldn't pass through the defense-line of the enemies at the Red Leaf Province. When they heard that the Imperial Martial Saint appeared in the Byzantine Empire, they quickly came over and sought his protection while looking for new opportunities.
Thunderous applause sounded for a long time, and the party only went back to normal when Fei got seated.
This great hall in the King's Palace looked luxurious, and the lights that were reflecting from the pieces of jewelry were blinding. Delicious food and aromatic wines were everywhere, and the noblemen and noble ladies who were in fancy clothes were chatting with each other and smiling, having a great time.
After a while, a few nobles who had the highest status gathered together and walked toward Fei with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Hahaha! Constantine, it looks like you are something else! You are able to get Mr. Martial Saint to come here easily! Haha!" A fat, mid-aged man who was in his forties and wearing a fancy robe walked over and patted Constantine's shoulder. He should be the person with the highest status, and it sounded like he was praising a skilled subordinate. With the arrogant expression on his face, it looked like he was the owner of this great palace.
Even though anger flashed on Constantine's face, he forced out a smile and said, "Castellan Sherwood, you are flattering me."
Then, he looked at the other nobles and said in a neutral tone, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Martial Saint…"
"No need. You don't need to be here; you can go and do other stuff. Let me introduce everyone to Mr. Martial Saint!" This fatty noble named Sherwood waved his hand boldly and didn't respect Constantine at all.
Chapter 762: Whitewashing (Part One)
Fei observed this fatty who was dressed in fancy clothing and asked Constantine without showing much emotion, "This gentleman named Sherwood is…"
"Ah, allow me to introduce him. Mr. Sherwood is a prestigious level 1 noble of the Empire, and he is the highest-leveled military commander in the Green Wind Province and the castellan of Green Wind City." Before Constantine got the chance to respond, another young nobleman who had a flattering smile on his face quickly answered in advanced while waving his hand at Constantine, telling the latter to go away fast.
"Oh." Fei nodded as if he suddenly realized this fatty's prestigious identity. He said, "Oh, so you are the castellan of Green Wind City. I heard that when the enemies invaded the empire, there were about 50,000 elite soldiers inside Green Wind City which had been managed and strengthened by the Empire for many years. The city could at least hold the enemies for half a day and buy precious time so that the Empire could be warned, but someone ordered the troops to ditch the city and more than 200,000 civilians who lived there, only escaping with more than a thousand nobles and high-level officials. This foolish decision allowed the enemies to take control of Green Wind City with ease, kill tens of thousands of citizens of Zenit, and made the 50,000 elite soldiers not have the proper set up to fight. I also heard that they were surrounded by Leonians in the open, and only a few people escaped… eh, could it be that the person who made such a stupid call was Mr. Sherwood?"
The smile on Sherwood's face instantly froze.
Everyone could hear the hostility and displeasure in the Imperial Martial Saint's tone.
However, that young nobleman was a cunning character. He rolled his eyes, thought of something quickly, and explained with a smile, "Mr. Alexander, you have misunderstood Mr. Sherwood. He decided to leave the city with the troop because he wanted to retain the military force and get back to St. Petersburg to protect the Royal Family. Mr. Sherwood is just loyal and was thinking ahead. However, the enemies were way too fast, and they caught up before the troop could get back to St. Petersburg. Mr. Sherwood commanded the troop and battled with the enemies, and blood stained his clothes and armor. In the end, he couldn't turn the situation around. Most of the soldiers were killed, and Mr. Sherwood was injured in several places and fainted due to the loss of blood. He was saved by a few powerful masters in the military who were touched by his bravery, and they came to Byzantine to look for you with the desire to kill enemies and avenge for our fallen brothers and sisters!"
"Yeah! That was what truly happened!"
"Mr. Sherwood is really the model for the rest of the noblemen and officials of the Empire!"
"Yeah! Those people who created rumors to attack Mr. Sherwood deserve to die! Mr. Sherwood is brave and selfless! He is an important figure in the Empire!"
The other noblemen who were in fancy clothes and fat with double chins quickly raised their wine glasses which were filled with red wine and added to what that young nobleman said.
After hearing what had been said, the awkward expression disappeared, and the smile re-appeared on Sherwood's face
Only King Constantine of Byzantine cussed in his mind, "These b*stards! They are just trying to whitewash themselves! In the Green Wind Province, even the sand grains know that this Coward Sherwood ditched the city after hearing that enemies were coming, and he handed Green Wind City away and indirectly murdered the 50,000 elite soldiers! He is the guiltiest person! How dare he try to flip this whole thing around and try to claim credit? This is unforgivable!"
Constantine wanted to rip this lie apart.
However, on the second thought, Sherwood's status and official power were much higher than his, and his kingdom technically still had to listen to Sherwood's orders. If he were abrupt and spilled everything, he might be troubled a lot in the future. Therefore, he decided to hold back his words for now and explain everything to the Imperial Martial Saint later in private. He just hoped that Fei wouldn't be fooled by these cunning and shameless people.
After Fei listened to the words said by the nobles around him, he didn't express anything. Instead, he stared at that young nobleman who was quick on his feet.

Chapter 762: Whitewashing (Part Two)
Just when that young nobleman was about to collapse mentally under Fei's pressure, the king asked slowly, "Then… who are you?"
This young nobleman was nervous; he didn't know if he were in luck, or bad fortune was about to fall on him. He quickly bowed with a flattering smile on his face and replied, "Sir, I'm Ryan, a member of the Knight Family."
"Oh, Ryan Knight."
Fei nodded and thought, "The Knight Family is a mid-tier noble family that is more powerful than its peers, and they have a faint royal bloodline. This young man should be a descendant of the core members, and he was probably sent to Green Wind Province to fill a high-power position."
Then, Fei smiled and said, "You sure are a good talker. Since you know a lot, then you can introduce all the noblemen who are here tonight to me. It is my first time being in the southern region of the Empire, and I'm not familiar with a lot of things!"
After hearing what Fei said, this young nobleman who was nervous calmed down and felt elated.
The other noblemen also looked at him in jealousy and envy.
"From the tone of Mr. Martial Saint, it seems like he is pleased with Ryan Knight's performance. This kid of the Knight Family is a sweet talker but a vicious character, great at flattering people and observing the situation. This time, he got praised by the Imperial Martial Saint, and it seems like he can be promoted. If Mr. Martial Saint takes him in as a disciple, then his entire family would be elevated! It seems like his future is now limitless!" the noblemen thought to themselves.
Ryan Knight was in high spirits and wanted to show off in front of Fei. Therefore, he quickly started to introduce the people at the party to Fei. It was clear that this young man was observant; he knew the detailed histories of everyone here. As he walked around with Fei and introduced them, he secretly told the king everything about these noblemen, including their family backgrounds, which prince they were supporting, and other details.
"This is General Vincent; he is the former legion commander of the legion inside Green Wind City…"
"This is Mr. Jonson; he is the official who is in charge of military supplies…"
"This is Mr. Goulet; he is Mr. Sherwood's butler…"
"This is Mr. Berezov; he is a level 3 noble and the official who is in charge of taxes in Green Wind City…"
With Ryan Knight doing the introductions, Fei memorized these people's looks, matching them with the names that he got from the intelligence report from the [Letter Office]. The king didn't say much and only took a quick tour around the hall.
Then, he quickly returned to where he was before. There were a few noble ladies who had mature bodies and were wearing alluring dresses, and they invited Fei to dance with them. However, the king turned them down without hesitation.
After Fei returned to his seat and was thinking about how he should deal with the situation, a series of flattering laughter sounded. Then, people such as Sherwood and Jonson walked to him with wine glasses.
"You have something to tell me?" Fei asked with a faint smile on his face as he saw the hesitating expression on their faces. Then, he leaned on the chair and swirled the wine in his wine glass.
Perhaps Fei's smile sent the wrong signal, Fatty Sherwood relaxed. He acted like he was really hesitant about something and said with a disappointed and sad expression, "Mr. Martial Saint, as the leader of a defeated troop, I shouldn't be saying these things to you. However, for the benefit of the Empire and the final victory of this war, I couldn't contain it anymore, even if I might anger you. Today, I have to mention to you the crazy things that King Constantine of Byzantine has been doing!"
Chapter 763: Vicious Intent (Part One)
"Oh?" Fei didn't express his opinion at all. After drinking the red wine in his wine glass with a smile on his face, he paused for a second before gesturing at the stone chairs beside him, telling these noblemen to sit down.
This action passed the wrong signal to these noblemen again.
Sherwood was too excited, and his last bit of hesitation disappeared.
With a flattering smile on his face, he quickly beckoned at others and told them to sit down. Then, he couldn't hold back any longer and started to complain as an honest expression appeared on his face, "Mr. Martial Saint, I know that you like the King of Byzantine and want the best for him, even teaching him cultivation techniques and combat techniques. Sir, you are thinking for the Empire and want to create more talents for Zenit, but that despicable King of Byzantine let you down. Although he is young, he is calculative and up to no good. I don't need to say much; I only need to bring one thing to your attention. Sir, just think about it. The Ten-Empire United Troops invaded Zenit, and the entire southern region of the Empire fell into their hands. However, why was this Byzantine Kingdom able to last two days under the siege of enemies before being conquered? Also, I heard that the enemies didn't take the treasures and wealth of the Byzantine Kingdom. How is this possible?"
Fei looked up at Sherwood casually and said, "Is it because the military of Byzantine is strong, and its soldiers and citizens are united? Is that why they were able to block the enemies for so long?"
Sherwood sighed as he shook his head, saying "In the beginning, I thought that way as well, including everyone here. However, we accidentally discovered that this b*stard had already betrayed the Empire and surrendered to the Leonians. That was why this Byzantine Kingdom got special treatment, and it lasted a lot longer. After all, the two level 1 affiliated kingdoms in the southern region of Zenit only lasted a few hours before being conquered…"
After Fei heard Sherwood's explanation and saw the latter's sincere stare, he nodded and swirled the wine in the glass; he didn't say anything directly or give his opinion.
Ryan Knight was quick. See that Fei's wine glass was emptying, he quickly refilled it for Fei.
Sherwood gritted his teeth and decided to add more fuel to the fire after seeing that Fei wasn't convinced. He continued, "In the last few days, we have been monitoring Constantine in secret, and we got more evidence that proves his crimes. Now, many citizens and defeated soldiers of Zenit have gathered in the Byzantine Kingdom due to your influence and power, but this Constantine doesn't respect you at all. He is of low status, but he is living in this King's Palace and placed you, the Imperial Martial Saint who has done so much for the empire, inside a little hotel…"
It was clear that Sherwood tried to break the bond between Fei and Constantine, and it was a despicable move.
Fei nodded but still didn't say anything.
However, Sherwood was pleased. Since Fei nodded, he felt like the Imperial Martial Saint agreed with him.
In high spirits, he continued while talking animatedly, "That is only one offense. In addition, Constantine is using your fame to recruit soldiers and build troops. During that battle at Storm Point Bay, it was your timely appearance that saved the situation, and you were the one who defeated the fleet of Leon, capturing many battleships, resources, and war slaves. However, Constantine kept all these things to himself, and he forced those people, who came here for you, into his military. Also, he didn't kill a single captive of Leon, and the head commander of Leon whom you captured is being well-fed every day, and he wasn't even sent to St. Petersburg for the Royal Family of Zenit to deal with. I heard that the citizens and soldiers of Byzantine asked Constantine to kill this butcher many times. After all, this butcher's hands are stained by the blood of our people. However, Constantine refused every time…"
Chapter 763: Vicious Intent (Part Two)
As Sherwood said that, he looked at his peers who were sitting beside him.
10 Places All Men Must Visit While They're Single
Nueey
Those people instantly understood what Sherwood meant, and they chimed in.
Berezov who was in charge of taxes said, "Yeah! Yeah! Mr. Sherwood is right! This Constantine is young, but he is very vicious. He is like a tumor in the southern region of Zenit, and he is going to destroy the Empire one day. He is going to stain your honor and glory as the supreme Imperial Martial Saint!"
Johnson who was in charge of military supplies said, "Right now, he is trying to centralize power, completely ignoring the military laws and orders of Zenit! He is way too reckless!"
General Vincent who led the former Green Wind Legion added, "That is right. According to the laws of the Empire, only Mr. Sherwood has the privilege of constructing armies and dealing with the captives. Mr. Sherwood should be the highest-level commander in the Green Wind Province, but this King of Byzantine dares to go around Mr. Sherwood and is overreaching, trying to control everything he can. He is up to no good!"
Butler Goulet sneered, "It is because this is the only way that he could hide the evidence of him surrendering to the Leon Empire and betraying the Zenit Empire. He can keep his throne in the meantime this way, and he can get more money from the Leonians in the future!"
Fei listened to everyone's opinion in silence and didn't say anything.
[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]
After everyone expressed their opinions, Fei chugged the wine in his wine glass slowly, looked at Sherwood with a strange smile, and asked, "Then, what is your plan? What are you guys thinking about? You guys are of high status, and you must have great strategies."
Sherwood had been waiting for Fei to say that.
As soon as he heard Fei's question, he declared in a righteous tone, "Right now, the Byzantine Kingdom has built an elite ground force and a navy, and its military power is strong. In a short time, there will be no issues with food supplies as well. In my opinion, you should instantly order the execution of Constantine who had already betrayed the Empire and wipe out the entire Royal Family of Byzantine to get rid of all possible spies; that would send a strong signal to those who have ill intentions. Then, you should gather all the power and create a more clear and effective structure, elect a capable and honorable noble, and name him the head commander of the military here. This is the only way that the current soldiers can be utilized to their full potential, and the millions of citizens in the Green Wind Province can be protected!"
"Kill Constantine, centralize the forces, and elect a commander?" Fei asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, that is the best way for now," Sherwood replied and nodded.
"Yeah, right now, the military of Byzantine is the only force that can fight against the enemies in the southern region. This force shouldn't be controlled by people who are of low status. In my opinion, Mr. Sherwood is brave and heroic, he had fought many battles, and he is a level 1 noble. He is the perfect candidate for the new head commander position!" Berezov suggested.
"Nice! This is a great proposal! I was thinking about the same thing!"
"Yeah, it is a misfortune that a despicable person like Constantine is in power! If Mr. Sherwood is willing to do extra work and save the situation, Zenit would be blessed. Mr. Sherwood, I hope that you won't push off this responsibility!"
"Mr. Sherwood has been doing a lot of work for the Royal Family and the Empire, and I saw it with my own eyes. I'm really moved, and I also agree with Mr. Sherwood becoming the new head commander!"
The other noblemen all chimed in and praised Sherwood with righteous expressions, looking like they were all thinking for the Empire and worrying for the people.
Fei sighed in his mind, "This bunch of people are shameless!"
Chapter 764: Sir, Please Spare Me! (Part One)
Due to these people's selfishness, incompetence, and foolishness, the Green Wind Province which had a heavy military focus was instantly conquered by the enemies, leaving thousands of square kilometers of land and millions of Zenitians to the hands of the invaders. However, these people who caused all this were in here enjoying themselves. They were wearing fancy clothes, eating great food, and drinking top-tier wine.
What was more infuriating was that these bad bugs weren't ashamed of what they did at all. Even if they kept quiet and didn't do anything, keep on being useless, it would still be better than this. Instead, they kept on stepping over the line.
As soon as they got the chance to breathe, they started to try to play with fire, whitewash themselves, fight for power, kill their political enemies, and frame loyal citizens. They were despicable and deserved to be killed for their behaviors! They were the guiltiest people in the Empire! They were unforgivable!
Fei almost couldn't hold back his anger and turned these fat and arrogant noblemen in front of him into pieces. However, he refrained himself from doing so. After thinking for a bit, he beckoned at Torres who was standing behind him. Without hesitation and trying to hide, he said slowly, "Pass my order and ask Constantine to gather the troops quickly. Also, call over the wealthy families, nobles, influential people, and citizens to the military training ground in the city. As the Imperial Martial Saint, I'm going to announce the new rules and policies."
Torres nodded and left, not asking any questions.
"Mr. Sherwood is right, everything needs to be centralized, and the power structure needs to be clearer," Fei said with a smile on his face and glanced at the thrilled noblemen around him. "I think the party tonight can end here. Gentlemen, you have been doing a lot of work. Go prepare and head to the military training ground; there are more important things to do later!"
Everyone was happy. After they praised Fei's clever decision, the noblemen left the party in a great mood.
However, Ryan Knight who was observant and smart didn't leave right away. Instead, he stood by Fei's side in silence, and he shivered a little uncontrollably. Not sure when, but big sweat drops already appeared all over his head. With a strange expression on his face, he didn't dare to speak nor move.
"Huh? Why aren't you preparing for the event?" Fei stood up and asked without even looking back.
"Sir, please spare me!" Ryan Knight instantly kneeled and kowtowed; his face was as pale as a ghost.
"Huh? What are you talking about? When did I say that I'm going to kill you?" Fei turned around and asked again while observing this young nobleman with interest.
Ryan Knight was so scared right now that he didn't dare to look up nor explain anything. He just kept on kowtowing.
He was smart and good at observing situations. He was different from noblemen like Sherwood who had stayed at high positions in the Green Wind Province and thus had already lost this basic survival instinct. Since they were like the rulers of the Province, their words were treated as commands, and they didn't have to be observant at all anymore.
What was most important was that he knew Fei's background.
As a young man, it was normal for him to admire mighty warriors. Ryan Knight dreamed of becoming a powerful master, so he treated Fei as his idol. Therefore, he knew a lot of things about this new Imperial Martial Saint, including Fei's personality.

He knew that this young king hated corrupted noblemen who were good for nothing. When the king got angry, he killed many high-level noblemen at Dual-Flags City, and even Crown Prince Arshavin got stirred up and couldn't do anything about this king. Therefore, all the old rules were meant to be broken by this young Imperial Martial Saint.
This time, noblemen like Sherwood lost their awareness and tried to fool the Imperial Martial Saint who was young. They decided to use their old methods of deceiving the other officials of Zenit, but they were playing with fire and stepping over the line.
Chapter 764: Sir, Please Spare Me! (Part Two)
Seeing Ryan Knight like this, Fei wasn't in a hurry to leave. He got back into his seat and asked with a strange smile on his face, "Ok, since you are smart and want me to spare you, then tell me if what they told me is the truth."
Hearing this, Ryan Knight quickly crawled up and replied respectfully, "That was all shameless slander. People like Sherwood are trying to get control of the military of the Byzantine Kingdom. They can only protect themselves in the southern region if they have soldiers around them. Then, they could use other methods to try to get the Royal Family to pardon them for their mistakes. Since Sherwood doesn't have any masters around him, and he isn't sure of your intention, he had been trying to conspire…"
…
"Hahaha! I didn't expect this to be so easy! It went so smooth!" Sherwood felt very confident and reassured after he left the party and went back.
Berezov, the tax officer, laughed proudly, "The entire Empire is praising this great Imperial Martial Saint. We finally met him today, and it cleared a lot of things. No wonder; he is only a little kid who is younger than 20 years old, and he is a bumpkin. He probably used all his time on martial arts and is like an idiot in terms of other stuff. Even though he is famous, he got easily fooled by us and is being used, haha!"
General Vincent, the commander of former Green Wind Legion, shook his head and smiled. "After all, he is only a warrior. What can he do? If our plan goes smooth, he will be played by us like a toddler!"
As they chatted, they laughed and felt proud.
These people were useless noblemen who were used to playing with power and conspiring against loyal and capable people. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made those dumb decisions, handing away Green Wind City that was well protected and indirectly killing more than 40,000 elite soldiers.
Right now, they still hadn't discovered their dangerous situation. With proud smiles, they went back to their temporary residences, put on their newest suits, and headed toward the military training ground under the protection of their guards.
…
When Fei arrived at the military training ground, there were already a ton of people there. As campfires burned, they created numerous shadows of the people here. People were everywhere, and they stood on their tip-toes, trying to get a glance at the legendary Imperial Martial Saint.
After these few days of hard work, Constantine had recruited many soldiers. Including the former soldiers of Byzantine and the new soldiers, there were more than 20,000 of them. If the militia that was created under Fei's recommendation was included as well, they could almost form a complete legion with 40,000 people.
When a military commander announced that the Imperial Martial Saint arrived, thunderous cheers instantly exploded. People started to jump up and clap, and the atmosphere in the military training ground was heated like an erupting volcano. The unstoppable passion filled the air, and it was almost turning this city upside-down.
This was the prestige of the Imperial Martial Saint!
This was the influence of the only spiritual pillar of the Empire!
As Fei walked past the people slowly with a smile on his face, he was showered in the cheers. He looked like a god who was traveling in the mortal world, but he was more intimate and real compared with gods. To many citizens of Zenit, the gods didn't respond to their prayers, but the appearance of King Alexander of Chambord changed their tragic fate.
In their minds, Fei was already a god!
Ryan Knight walked behind Fei closely. Even though he still looked frightened, he was much more relaxed compared to before.
Right now, the noblemen like Sherwood who had just disrespected Fei behind his back not too long ago were stunned by this scene, and their faces turned pale as they got a little scared.
When Fei got onto the stage, he didn't say anything. Instead, he handed a silver crystal to King Constantine of Byzantine who had been waiting.
It was a divvy crystal.
Soon, a mage injected some magic energy into it, and lights shot out of the crystal and created a giant screen in the nightly sky. The videos and voices recorded in the crystal were clearly replayed in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and citizens.
Instantly, noblemen like Sherwood who were in front of the crowd and wearing fancy clothes turned ashen-faced, and they shivered uncontrollably.
Chapter 765: Save The Energy (Part One)
The main characters in the video that was being played in the sky were noblemen such as Sherwood and his people.
"… I couldn't contain it anymore. Even if I might anger you, I have to mention to you the crazy things that King Constantine of Byzantine has been doing…"
"… why was this Byzantine Kingdom able to last two days under the siege of enemies before being conquered? This b*stard had already betrayed the Empire and surrendered to the Leonians…"
"… However, Constantine kept all those things to himself, and he forced those people, who came here for you, into his military…"
"… Constantine refused to send the head commander of the navy of Leon to St. Petersburg; he is refusing the execution of a man whose hands are stained by the blood of our people. This is a solid proof that he betrayed the Empire and wants to save this high-level Leonian…"
"… I recommend centralizing power and kill Constantine…"
"… Mr. Sherwood is brave and heroic. He had fought many battles, and he is a level 1 noble. He is the perfect candidate for the new head commander position…"
The quality of the video was great, and the sounds weren't muffled at all. The divvy crystal recorded the conversation between Fei and these noblemen and was replaying it at the moment.
In the beginning, the crowd was quiet. However, unstoppable discussions and chatters sounded in the area. The small chatters grew into loud shouts, and some people started to curse, yell, and accuse the noblemen of lying. The regular people in the military training ground couldn't help but shout in anger.
The entire military training ground was filled with noises, and the people were confused.
They looked at King Constantine who was standing in the very front of the entire military training ground and the noblemen such as Sherwood and Johnson, wanting to find clues on their faces. The young king looked calm, not showing any panicky nor angry expressions. Even though the noblemen felt like something was wrong, they still acted calm and confident on the surface.
The soldiers and commanders of Byzantine were already pointing at the people such as Sherwood and accused them of wrongdoing.
These despicable noblemen were more vicious than undead creatures! Nine days ago, they looked so pitiful when they came to Byzantine, and they begged for protection. However, only a few days passed, and they went back to their former selves. They were no different from wolves that had no virtue. As soon as they got comfortable, they started to frame King Constantine behind his back and slandered him in front of the Imperial Martial Saint.
In the crowd, a lot of other noblemen were influential figures in the Green Wind Province before the war, and they also wanted to use this opportunity to mess up the situation and profit from it. In addition, there were little noblemen in the Byzantine Empire who were bribed by Sherwood and his peers, and they stood on the side of Sherwood and questioned and cursed at Constantine with emotional expressions.
The situation was quite chaotic.
Fei stood on the stage quietly and just watched as the mess continued to grow.
After about ten minutes, all the video recorded in the divvy crystal was played. That magic energy screen which was in the sky turned into a dash of silver energy and went back into the crystal.
The mage who was injecting magic energy into this divvy crystal was a Three-Star Mage who recently joined the military of Byzantine, and he was terrified.
When he first received the mission of playing the video in the divvy crystal, he thought that he got an opportunity to showcase his strength, and he didn't anticipate the shocking content inside of it.
If he knew about this beforehand, he couldn't dare to play it in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
There were only angry shouts in the beginning, but the people on the two sides almost started fighting.
It was clear that some soldiers and commanders in the newly-formed troops were bought by Sherwood and his peers in secret. Under their instigation, the military which was neutral started to get anxious.
The situation was chaotic and disorderly.
Sherwood and the other noblemen who were nervous felt a lot more confident.
This scene was what they wanted to see. They could only obtain benefit and be the winners if the water were dirty. Even though King Constantine of Byzantine was righteous and just in the eyes of his people, this king was only a little kid in these noblemen's eyes.
Chapter 765: Save The Energy (Part Two)
"Perhaps he is talented at managing his kingdom and commanding troops, but he is far less experienced in creating conspiracies and traps!" they thought.
Sherwood and other noblemen spent a lot of money and made many promises in these few days, and it seemed like the people who were bribed by them were helping them out at the moment.
"Also, it seems like the Imperial Martial Saint is on our side as well! It is clear that what we told him affected his judgment! As long as the King of Chambord opens his mouth, it would be the last straw that breaks Constantine's back!" the noblemen thought, "Everything is going according to plan, and everything is good…"
The confrontation got more out of control.
Weapons were drawn, and cold lights were reflected off their edges. The two sides were about to battle.
At this moment, Fei broke his long silence and said, "That is enough! Stop arguing!"
Although Fei wasn't loud, his voice had a unique power. Everyone in the area heard him clearly, and all the shouts and curses disappeared. The tension between the two groups was gone, and in its place was another form of pressure that came from the Imperial Martial Saint.
Everyone wanted to know what the verdict from the Imperial Martial Saint was!
A winning smile already appeared on Sherwood's face; he felt like he already knew what the King of Chambord was going to say.
Fei finally spoke, but what he said was completely opposite to the words that Sherwood was hoping for.
"Noblemen including Sherwood, Goulet, Johnson, and Berezov are vicious. They destroyed the Green Wind Province and indirectly killed the hundreds of thousands of citizens in Green Wind City for their own selfish interests. Also, they conspired against Constantine who has done much for Zenit. They are unforgivable bugs, and they shall be stripped of their status and arrested. According to the laws of Zenit, they shall be hung right now!"
As soon as he finished, several bylaw enforcement officers of Chambord who were prepared separated the crowd and walked over domineeringly, arresting Sherwood and his peers.
"No…" Sherwood wasn't able to react in time. With a blank mind, he couldn't believe what he heard and thought that he heard it wrong. The tight ropes caused the pain in his wrists, and it made him struggle and shout, "This is nonsense! I'm someone who worked hard for the Empire, and Constantine is the person who betrayed Zenit! I don't agree with this! You are framing me! I'm going to sue you and report this to the Royal Family! I don't agree… I don't agree!!"
"Doesn't matter if you agree or not; you are dying anyway. Why be so emotional? Save the energy!" Fei waved his hand and told the noisy crowd to be quiet for a moment.
"You…. Sir… Constantine did so many things that are against the laws! He constructed armies… he… he didn't kill the Leonian captives, he didn't kill King Buckingham of Leon… Although you are the Imperial Martial Saint, you can't overprotect a criminal like him! I don't agree with this!" Sherwood shouted.
"Yeah! Mr. Sherwood is right! Mr. Martial Saint, you can't be fooled by this despicable little king!"
"We know that you like Constantine, but he is a criminal…"
"We don't agree! We are not guilty; Constantine is the guilty one! Looks at what the Byzantinians have done…"
Some of the noblemen such as the former tax officer and the former military supplies officer were standing with Sherwood before. Since the situation wasn't in their favor, and it was too late for them to jump ships, they had to take this head-on and try to use the excuse of the honor of Zenit to stop others from executing the Imperial Martial Saint's commands.
Their roars were somewhat effective.
The citizens of Zenit who arrived in Byzantine recently and didn't know what had happened started to chatter and make noises.
Fei laughed out loud, and his laughter sounded like thunder and resonated in the dark sky, overpowering all other noises. After he finished, it was quiet since no one dared to challenge his prestige.
As a serious expression appeared on Fei's face, he said slowly, "Alright, I will make sure that you shameless bugs admit guilt. I will let you know that whatever Constantine did in the past few days are my orders. Are you questioning my judgment?"
After saying that, Fei waved his hand lightly, and a few men in soldier uniforms walked close to the stage under the lead of [Son of Wind] Torres.
Seeing them, Sherwood suddenly started to shiver, and his face turned pale.
Chapter 766: Determination to Kill (Part One)
"Aren't you guys dead?… How are you still alive?" Sherwood was stunned; he felt like he saw undead creatures.
"Of course you want the people who saw your despicable actions dead. You even tried to kill us by using the hands of Leonians. However, the gods are on our side! It is unfortunate for you that the gods don't want the crimes which you guys committed to be buried. Therefore, the gods saved us, and we are alive! Now, with the Imperial Martial Saint being the judge, I want to seek justice for the brothers who were killed by you!"
Among these men, one of them who was more than two meters tall said with might as flames of anger burned in his eyes.
There was a terrifying scar on his face that had just healed recently. From it, people could tell that his face was almost split into two halves by that strike. The most fatal injury appeared beside his Adam's apple. If that strike moved up by an inch, his throat would have been severed.
Beside him, his peers had injuries all over their bodies, and most of these injuries hadn't healed. One of them even lost a leg and half an arm, and he was walking forward with the help of crutches.
These people were wearing the soldier uniform of Zenit, and they all had intense death energy around them as if they just crawled out of a pile of corpses.
They were low-level commanders in the Green Wind Legion, and they were guarding Green Wind City before the war. As witnesses, they saw how the Green Wind Province and Green Wind City fell into the hands of the enemies within an hour, and they watched how the spineless noblemen ditched their obligations of protecting the citizens and indirectly killed tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
In order to escape, those noblemen even forced soldiers to kill Zenitians who didn't want them to flee, and their selfishness, foolishness, and viciousness made the soldiers of Zenit die under the blades of the Leonians one after another.
These soldiers who survived saw it all! Out of tens of thousands of soldiers, they were the only ones who survived by pretending to be dead after getting injured, and the members of the [Letter Office] discovered them and took them to the Capital of Byzantine to heal. If they weren't discovered, they would have died due to diseases and infections.

Today, Fei invited them to come here to uncover the lies that these dirty noblemen had been telling. This was also an opportunity to avenge the civilians and soldiers of Zenit who had died in Green Wind City due to the incompetence of these noblemen.
Under the lead of Torres, these few soldiers walked onto the stage, revealed their identities, and told the version of the story which wasn't altered as they pointed out the incompetence and viciousness of these noblemen.
When these soldiers described how the noblemen ditched the civilians in Green Wind City and forced the tens of thousands of soldiers to protect them and flee before the enemies even got close, these soldiers who didn't even sob when they bled and got their limbs cut off teared up and cried out loud.
Nothing was more painful to them than seeing their peers die in such useless ways, and nothing was sadder than leaving the powerless civilians to the butcher knives of the enemies!
The words filled with sadness came out of these soldiers' mouths and clearly went to everyone's ears through the magic amplification devices on the stage. Everyone heard them, and their hearts were hammered by the information that was spilled.

All the crimes were committed by these noblemen who enjoyed all the privileges. They wore fancy clothes, ate delicacies, and collected benefits from all the citizens.
In the end, the crowd stared at Sherwood and his peers with anger. These noblemen were shameless, had no sense of honor, and deserved nothing! The atmosphere in the military training ground was intense.
These noblemen's inhumane actions angered the public to an extreme degree.
"Kill them! Hang them!"
Chapter 766: Determination to Kill (Part Two)
"I want to bite these b*stards to death! They are the criminals of the Empire! God! Do they still have morals?
"God! How can there be people so vicious and so cruel in this world?"
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
As soon as those soldiers finished telling their stories, roars sounded in the area. The angry citizens of Zenit and soldiers of Byzantine squeezed forward, wanting to tear those guilty noblemen into pieces.
Those noblemen who looked down at civilians all the time realized that the people whom they viewed as dirty slaves were capable of such power! This was the first time that they discovered this, and it seemed like they wouldn't get to feel this way again.
The people who were cheering on Sherwood and the other noblemen felt desperate and sensed that their dooms were near. Some of them shut their mouths and hid into the crowd, some people rolled their eyes and joined the angry crowd, and some of them tried to sneak away ashen-faced.
However, none of them were able to get away.
Those people who tried to create chaos on purpose and accused Constantine and the Byzantine Kingdom were noticed by the bylaw enforcement officers of Chambord, and they were all pulled out. In the end, before the bylaw enforcement officers of Chambord could get close, the angry crowd identified those who were on the other side and kicked them out.
"Execute!" Fei ordered without mercy.
These spies and ill-intentioned people weren't spared, and their heads rolled on the ground after the executioners of Byzantine raised their blades and chopped down.
Blood was spilled.
It wasn't that Fei was too cruel.
Right now, the Empire was in a dangerous situation. As the only resistance in the southern region of Zenit, the Byzantine Kingdom was the only kingdom able to construct their army. However, many refugees and defeated soldiers had rushed into the Capital of Byzantine, and there were probably all kinds of ill-intentioned characters hiding among them. If Fei weren't able to stun them and deter them from doing anything bad, perhaps the Byzantine Kingdom would fall into chaos and internal battles after he leaves for his journey.
Fei was already determined to clear all the obstacles in the way of the young king of Byzantine and help the latter establish the unchallengeable authority. Even if Fei had to kill a lot of ill-intentioned people this once, he was willing to do so.
Just as Sherwood and other noblemen said, this kingdom had to have a clear structure and centralize all the power. This resistance force in the southern region of Zenit could only survive under the attacks of the enemies only if one man was in charge.
In an instant, hundreds of heads rolled on the ground, and headless corpses were piled into mountains. Blood formed rivers, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
This wasn't over.
Soon, thousands of people were captured by the bylaw enforcement officers of Chambord and the warriors of Byzantine, and they were escorted to the military training group.
These were all the targets that were confirmed by the [Letter Office]. There were enemy spies, ill-intentioned people who were bribed by Sherwood and his peers, bandits who killed innocent civilians, and criminals who had multiple convictions. None of them were pardoned, and they had had the same fate as the people who were executed earlier.
The headless corpses that had heated blood flowing out of them made a mountain, and the heads were piled into the peak!
It was an indescribable and stunning scene, and everyone sensed the Imperial Martial Saint's anger and determination.
From this, people also felt the overbearing presence of the Byzantinians and their determination to fight the invaders and protect the civilians of the Empire!
