If Kanort, Huerk, Drogba, and Pierce were here, they would be shocked to see that the Legion Commander who was supposed to be with the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] was now inside the herald brigade.
It was too surprising.
"Your Majesty... Eh, Sir," Cech wasn't used to the new way of addressing Fei yet. Since they were in the military, he needed to address Fei by calling him Legion Commander or Sir instead of Your Majesty.
Cech carefully suggested, "Should we send out a messenger tonight? So the mayor of Dual-Flags City Soroyov could prepare ahead of time. It would be much easier to enter..."
"No need," Fei thought about and rejected this suggestion. "Dual-Flags City is already surrounded by the soldiers of Jax. Our messenger couldn't get into the city even if he tried," he said.
Cech and Shevchenko were both stunned.
They didn't know how the Legion Commander knew that the enemies surrounded Dual-Flags City; the reports they got from the scouts showed that the enemies hadn't surrounded the city yet. From the look on Fei's face, Cech and Shevchenko knew that Fei was confident, and they all believed him.
"You two should get some rest... huh?" as Fei was speaking to Cech and Shevchenko, his face suddenly changed color.
At that moment, he sensed a few vague auras that flashed by. It felt like there were mysterious people who were looking for something, and they tried to hide their traces by moving very slowly. Although their auras were hard to be discovered by others, they were as bright as fireflies at night to Fei.
Since these auras were hostility and murderous, Fei knew that they were his enemies.
Fei didn't say anything to Cech and Shevchenko. He closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual power. His vast amount of spiritual energy got sent out like waves, and he was able to monitor everything that was around him in a one-kilometer radius; he could even sense which cactus was moving in the wind outside the camp.
There was a bunch of powerful warriors behind the hill to the west of the campsite.
...
...
As the cold wind blew across the desert, and a few dry thorns shivered in the wind as frost enveloped them.
The breathings of beasts lightly sounded, and the breaths of four Sand Tigers that were much larger and stronger than regular Sand Tigers could be seen in the cold. There were four fully armored cavaliers on them, and the leading cavalier was sturdy and wearing a black mask; only his eyes were visible.
With murderous intent flashing in his eyes, this leading cavalier stared at the campsite of the herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion].
Behind these four cavaliers who looked like the captains, there were 400 regular cavaliers who were wearing brown armors, carrying sharp blades, and riding on Sand Tigers. These 400 cavaliers all held onto their breaths, and their well-trained mounts were all biting on a wooden stick each to prevent them from making any noises.
"A Six-Star Warrior, three Five-Star Warriors, and two Four-Star Warriors... this herald brigade of Zenit is pretty powerful and has good equipment," the leading cavalier said slowly, "No wonder they could kill 367 of our elite Sand Tiger Cavaliers. Hehe, Saint Seiyas under the king of Chambord? I want to fight them..."
"Even if they are powerful, how can they fight against the [Sky Splitting Blade] in your hand?" a cavalier beside him laughed, "Let's wait for a few hours. When these soldiers of Zenit let their guards down, we can charge at them. I'm sure that we can destroy them in about 30 minutes.
"Have we, [Black Torrent], ever been scared of anyone? Mr. Kerman, since Prince Heitinga is coming with the reinforcement, we should cut off the head of this herald troop's commander and make it into a gift for His Highness," another cavalier suggested.
Kerman nodded and was about to make an order, but he saw the fourth captain-like cavalier wanting to say something. After seeing the hesitation, he asked, "Ari, what do you think?"
Ari lightly bowed and carefully suggested, "Mr. Kerman, from the reports we got today, these soldiers of Zenit are impressive. Since they have level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts as mounts, they must be the Royal Elite Force of Zenit; we shouldn't underestimate them. In the rumors, the Legion Commander of [Wolf Teeth Legion] Chambord King Alexander is a top-tier warrior as well... I think... I think... we should take it slow and aim for security. We can wait for Heitinga His Highness to arrive before we take any serious military operation."
"Huh! Ari, your bravery is leaving you by the day! Just because a few defeated soldiers exaggerated the enemies' strength to try to avoid punishment, you believe their words?" the other two cavaliers beside Kerman refuted.
"Whatever, stop fighting. Everyone rest for two hours. After two hours, we will raid the campsite of Zenit immediately. Remember, our mission is to charge into the central tent and kill the commander. You guys can keep others busy, and I will kill that Six-Star Commander. As soon as I kill him, we need to retreat right away."
Kerman pointed at the campsite at the foot of the hill and made the final decision.
A yellow magic lantern lit up the central tent, and Fei was sitting at the back of the tent and reading a book named [The Chronicle of Azeroth] that was more than 2,500 pages thick.
After he defeated Costakarta, Huntelaar, and Amauri, he kept all of their spatial storage rings. Cain soon broke the seals on these rings, and Fei took out all of the items in them. Except for a lot of magic gems, there were also various types of training scrolls and miscellaneous items; that allowed Fei to become a little richer.
This book [The Chronicle of Azeroth] was one of the items that Fei got from Costakarta's spatial storage ring, and it was vital to someone like Fei who had almost zero knowledge about this continent. In this book, it recorded all kinds of historical events and all types of knowledge; it was pretty much an encyclopedia.
This book was very precious as it felt like this was the only copy created. Different from the standard history books that the Royal Library of Chambord and the Public Library of Zenit in St. Petersburg carried, it recorded a lot of secret events, that were covered by the dust of time, in detail.
In the last few days, Fei had been reading this book earnestly, and his understanding of Azeroth Continent also improved drastically.
Through this book, Fei understood the rankings, tiers, and levels of the Moon-Class Elites.
Didn't matter if it were Combat Weapon Warriors, Beast Soul Warriors, or ordinary Moon-Class Elites, they could be divided into three ranks: New Moon, Half Moon, and Full Moon. Every rank could be divided into three tiers: low-tier, mid-tier, and high-tier, and every tier could be divided into ten levels.
Compared to star-level, there were a lot more levels in the Moon-Class.
If the Star-level Warriors represented the bottom of the food chain on this continent ruled by the law of the jungle, then the Moon-Class Elites were the backbones of each empire. Their strengths presented a strong voice and a path of cultivation.
From reading the training notes of the three Moon-Class Elites, Fei knew that Costakarta was taken by military operations and wars and had little time to spent on cultivation. Costakarta was the weakest of the three and was a level 1 low-tier New Moon Warrior; he pretty much just stepped over the threshold between Star-level Warriors and Moon-Class Elites.
In comparison, Amauri and Huntelaar were both level 3 low-tier New Moon Warriors.
From this, Fei was able to estimate that Krasic who unleashed all of his power and defeated the four Moon-Class Elites was a level 1 mid-tier New Moon Warrior.
Except for Emperor Yassin who he couldn't estimate, Krasic was the most powerful warrior Fei have ever encountered. As for Priest Balesi, Fei felt like he was a level 2 or level 3 low-tier New Moon Warrior.
After Star-level Warriors created the nine star-whirls and combined them, the warrior energy inside their bodies would convert into a liquid form from a gas form. The star-swirls would also turn into one cold sphere that looked like a moon, and that was where the name Moon-Class came from. The path of Moon-Class Elites was to fill that sphere up with liquid-form Warrior Energy gradually.
On [The Chronicle of Azeroth], Fei also read a lot about the enemy Jax Empire.
The Jax Empire was adjacent to the Zenit Empire and the Eindhoven Empire, but its territory was much larger than these two empires combined. However, most of its land were deserts, and it had less population as a result. Most of its land was uninhabited, and its citizens all lived on the few oases by the major rivers.
This was a strong empire to conquer.
Due to the harsh environment, the people of Jax had to fight for their survival and were all perseverant and patient. On the negative, these people were vicious, murderous, and liked to invade others. Since they lacked a lot of necessary resources, the people of Jax frequently harasses and robbed the empires besides them. With Sand Tigers as their mounts, the Desert Bandits of Jax who were fast, untraceable, and murderous were the nightmares of a lot of people who lived close to the Jax Empire.
