Chapter 537: Return – Death Ancient City
After quietly walking around the military camp, Fei realized that the situation was a lot better than he thought. The atmosphere in the city was solemn.
Although the troop inside Death Ancient City didn’t go through battles and were protected by the red Quicksand Moat and Berserk Metal-Eating Ants, the soldiers and commanders were still patrolling the city according to Strategist Old Aryang’s plan.
The [Wolf Teeth Legion] was comprised of soldiers and warriors from a variety of affiliated kingdoms, and Fei didn’t have high hopes for them. The fact that they were operating on this level already met the king’s expectations.
After circling the city, Fei quietly went to the main stone palace in the center.
This was the temporary command center for the troop.
The young noblemen and kings of affiliated kingdoms who decided to join Fei’s legion were all situated in this palace.
Both Cindy and Reyes, who were the Head Commander and the Deputy Commander respectively, were also living here.
Fei flew by one side of the palace and suddenly discovered something. Through a window, he saw an orange light illuminating a room.
This was Cindy’s room.
Cindy’s long silver hair was smooth and resting on her shoulders. Without the battle armor and the magic robe, she lost that cold and noble presence she had when she was on the battlefield. Instead, she looked like a girl from next-door in her white pajamas.
Her white and smooth shoulders were revealed, and her beautiful feet look like they were made from jade. At the moment, she gave off a refreshing feel as she sat in front of a stone table on a soft and white rug.
It was a beautiful scene.
The girl’s smooth hands were cupping her white chin, and she looked like she was troubled by something.
In front of her, there was a small light-blue scroll placed on the table. There was a faint magic energy surge on it.
It was a Random Teleportation Scroll that Fei gave her last time, and the scroll was the product of ‘Akara and Cain Laboratory.’
Anyone could use this scroll and teleport themselves to a random location within ten kilometers. Fei was worried that masters of Jax might come here and sneak-attack, so he gave Cindy and Reyes each a scroll.
As this Magic Princess stared at the scroll, she sometimes looked happy, sometimes looked helpless, and sometimes looked sad. After various emotions appeared on her face, all of them merged and combined into a little melancholy.
This made Fei feel like she was a kite that was being pulled by an invisible string, wanting to make the leap of faith but couldn’t.
“This Magic Princess is a girl with stories. She is so young, but she is already a powerful genius among the affiliated kingdoms in Zenit. If she could get instructed by a good master, her achievements in term of magic would be envious by others.”
Fei soon left after staying there for a while.
Although Fei wasn’t someone with high morals, he felt a little guilty peeking at a girl, especially when this girl was his subordinate.
“Hu! Ha!”
A series of shouts sounded from the practice ground to the right of the palace, and a metal-elemental warrior energy surge appeared.
Fei landed on the practice ground quietly, and he saw Reyes, who was in a fancy white robe, practicing his combat technique.
This young man who had to keep up his image during practice was holding onto the [No Name Sword], and sweat wetted his long hair and stuck them to the sides of his face.
As sharp metal-elemental warrior energy shot out, they traveled through the air and left dashes of sword marks on the ground.
Fei nodded.
Being arrogant and conceited required strength to back it up.
[Silver-Armored Vicious Sword] was quite reckless and prideful, but it was based on his power. Many people saw that Reyes was arrogant, but they didn’t see how many hours he put into his practice.
Reyes’ performance at the competition among affiliated kingdoms was eye-catching, especially when he batted with [One Sword].
His sword technique was on the legendary level! During the competition, his warrior energy was too little, and it couldn’t power this legendary technique [Joy Sorrow Separate Gather Sword Array]. Otherwise, the person who got defeated would be [One Sword] and not him.
After Reyes decided to join Fei’s force, the king taught him an Eight-Star Cultivation Scroll.
Although it was only Eight-Star, it was precious to Reyes who was a Five-Star Warrior at the time.
As he worked hard at it for the last while, he finally broke through the threshold and became a mid-tier Six-Star Warrior. With his full strength unleashed, the dashes of gold and silver warrior energies shot in all directions like sharp swords.
After observing for a while, Fei thought of something and moved his finger. A silver sword energy that contained the strength of mid-tier Six-Star shot at Reyes.
Whoosh!
An air-piercing noise sounded.
“Who is it?!”
Reyes was shocked as a person suddenly appeared beside him. As he shouted in alarm, the [No Name Sword] in his hand emitted more than 100 light beams as it struck at the sword energy.
Tink!
A crisp metal-colliding noise sounded
The veins on Reyes’ arms bulged, and his arms took a lot of impact forces. Although his feet didn’t move, his body was forced back for two meters.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Borrowing the momentum, Reyes waved the sword in his hand.
[Joy Sorrow Sword] and [Separate Gather Sword] that were stabbed on the ground around him shivered. As if life got restored in them, they jumped into the air and turned into two dashes of light. As they flew in the air, they created a huge net made from sword energies. They were about to cast [Joy Sorrow Separate Gather Sword Array].
However, Reyes instantly recognized who this person was.
Tink! Tink! The two swords fell back into the sword box beside Reyes, and an excited expression appeared on his face. “Your Majesty! You are back……”
Whoosh!
A blue flame flashed by.
[Magic Princess], who already changed into a black mage robe, quickly dashed over with a pair of water-elemental magic wings on her back. As if an iceberg appeared, the chilly energy created frost on all surfaces of the buildings and the ground.
However, the chilly energy got constraint when she got closer.
With a joyous expression on her face, she gasped, “Your Majesty! It is you!”
When Reyes shouted a moment ago, it was a warning to others.
After all, anyone who could travel through the red Quicksand Moat and bypass the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants this quietly would be powerful. Although Reyes was arrogant, he knew that he couldn’t battle with such a master. Therefore, he sent out the warning instantly, and Cindy who was one of the most powerful people in the city came right away.
Soon, the other powerful warriors and mages came by.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, they all returned to the main palace. They organized everything in Death Ancient City, and they all wanted to report to the king. They had been staying in this place for a while, and they felt like their bones were even rusting. They all asked the Legion Commander to allow them to strike the enemies of Jax.
Fei only shook his head.
After he went to the Mythical Palace and saw Royal Mage Domenech of the Leon Empire, Emperor Kromkamp of the Eindhoven Empire, and the mysterious Emperor Yassin of the Zenit Empire in the core level 36 region, the wars Zenit were engaged in all took a drastic turn. No one knew where the situation was headed.
Attacking the enemies at this point was useless.
Fei didn’t want to explain all these complicated matters to all of his subordinates, so he calmed them down and asked them to endure for a bit longer.
After dealing with the matters in Death Ancient City, Fei returned to Dual-Flags City. Although he saw the strange behavior of Cindy earlier, he wasn’t able to ask since he was peeking.
This night wasn’t going to be calm.
When Fei returned to the watchtower on the west gate and was about to enter Diablo World to kill monsters with Elena, a blue portal suddenly appeared before him as buzzing noises sounded.
The strong military leader of [Rogue Encampment], Kashya, stepped out of the portal and handed a letter with the red wax seal on it. This red wax seal meant that it was an urgent matter, and Fei’s expression changed drastically after seeing it.
