Crisis and Request from the Warrior Country

[To the Boulder Dungeon]

[Hey bro, I've run into some trouble with my core team lately. It's been resolved now, but I still need to stay here for a while to observe the situation.]

So, my move to the Warrior Country to be with you will have to be postponed a little longer. Consider this pile of Rock Roast a gift from me, brother. Enjoy it, and if you get a craving, feel free to ask me for some.

The Shrine flickered with a faint light, and the short letter was sent.

The turmoil caused by Iliphis was eventually officially named the "Black Eagle Rebellion" by the kingdom, and it was recorded in the kingdom's history as a significant chapter.

The kingdom was paying close attention to this matter. After all, the golden skyline created by the Brave hung in the sky for three whole days before dissipating. The entire kingdom, including neighboring countries, could see it, and everyone wanted to know how it was created.

After careful investigation, people discovered that:

What? The Black Eagle Rebellion is being officially assessed as a major catastrophe that could destroy the kingdom?

What? The Black Eagle Rebellion was resolved by a dungeon called Sein and the Hero Elsa before it could escalate into a major disaster?

What? The crisis of national annihilation was already a thing of the past while we were asleep?

Those who were not near the Leyndell and were fortunate enough not to have personally experienced the disaster brought about by this turmoil felt a lingering fear, but also a sense of relief.

All cities in the kingdom are mobilizing personnel and resources to come to the Leyndell to support the reconstruction work. Those who live far away are even heading to Bede City because the Zane Dungeon allows for convenient teleportation between the two places.

However, another major reason why many people choose to visit the Zane Dungeon is that the Royal Palace has officially recognized the day after the Black Eagle Rebellion as "Sain Memorial Day" and generously granted a full day off!

In any case, it's a day off, and the Zane Dungeon played a huge role in resolving the Black Eagle Rebellion, even being considered to have contributed more than the Brave. Therefore, many people came with a pilgrimage mentality.

In just over ten days, while the reconstruction of the Leyndell was basically completed, the Zane Dungeon completed the transformation of the entire Arnor Kingdom!

Throughout the entire kingdom, everywhere you look is the iconic green of Sen, which is very friendly to the eyes!

Gong Qiying had been looking at the world map for the past few days, watching his colored area grow rapidly, and the city lords kept sending congratulatory telegrams. He felt as if his eyesight had improved a lot.

Gong Qiying had only one sentence to say about this:

"Cool."

Besides the reaction from the Arnor Kingdom itself, its neighboring countries, their neighboring countries, and their neighboring countries—in short, many countries—all cast their gazes toward the Royal Palace.

Of course, not all the greetings and support were well-intentioned; there were quite a few with ulterior motives, and some countries were even plotting something.

However, the Black Eagle Rebellion Outbreak only affected the Leyndell, while the army stationed on the kingdom's border remained unscathed. General Gai Bi, who had witnessed the battle between the Sword Saint Gapar and the Demon King Bloodline in the Great Rift Valley on the border, took on the heavy responsibility and actively responded to the restless actions of other countries, displaying a remarkable performance.

Furthermore, with Minister Aoluo, the core figure who usually manages national affairs, unharmed, Princess Serena gradually learning and progressing, and King Anzi III expected to regain his senses Iliphis is like removing the biggest poison from the kingdom. In the long run, the Arnor Kingdom will actually be thriving.

Of course, for the sake of national cohesion, Iliphis will be singled out as a typical example of organized crime and heavily criticized every year, forever engraved on the pillar of shame.

"Father, among all the letters from so many countries, I can only not understand the letter from the Warrior Country, so I can only send it to you for your perusal."

The Royal Palace, the bedroom of King Anzi III.

The palace was filled with abundant magic, and various Magic Array related to mental defense were operating diligently here, ready to resist any evil gods that might come from the heavens Hidden Dim Star.

King Anzi III lay on a bed larger than before, with blood transfusion bags hanging beside him, into which healthy blood, magically processed to be adapted to his body, was being transfused, washing away the ever-increasing beast blood.

Thanks to the effects of the blood transfusion, he no longer resembled a beast. He looked like a kind and gentle middle-aged man, only a little pale and weak.

The main reason for the weakness Iliphis was squeezing blood out of him in order to create a large number of new beastmen. In order to extract more blood, he announced that the King was critically ill and wanted to use the fake death to imprison the King and use him as a blood bag.

However, he can completely bear this weakness.

He has weathered his midlife crisis, and wherever his future steps lead, it will be a path of growth for him.

At this moment, his daughter Serena was by his side, gently telling him about what had happened in the kingdom, giving him a feeling that all his suffering had finally come to an end and that it was finally his turn to enjoy family happiness.

Just thinking about it makes me smile.

"Is the letter from the Warrior Country written by the current King or the old King?" Anzi III asked.

He looked at his adopted daughter, Serena. Although he had only been with her for a few days and was fully conscious, he found her incredibly pleasing to the eye; she was simply the perfect child of his dreams.

It was the other person's infatuation with Sion that made him a little jealous.

Something happened recently that made him really want to praise Serena.

The other party claimed that they had saved her life during the Black Eagle Rebellion using the Lion Knight Ornstein's weapon, and that they might have established some kind of connection. They warned those who wanted to cause trouble for the Arnor Kingdom to be careful and not to provoke the still mysteriously shrouded Zane Dungeon.

This method of borrowing the tiger's power was indeed quite effective, and it did deter some petty thieves.

"It was written by the abdicated old King. The current young King also sent a letter, as well as an envoy. But their intentions are very clear. They have been subtly inquiring about our country these days. It's obvious what they want to do."

"They've even gone so far as to use indirect methods; the Warrior Country has truly lost its Warrior spirit."

Anzi III sighed. "Give it to me. Let me see what that old man Fred wrote. I haven't been in touch for many years. I don't even know if he has dementia now."

His tone sounded unfriendly, but not fierce; instead, it had a strange, teasing quality to it.

Serena handed the letter to her father, but a slight change appeared in her eyes as she thought to herself:

Could it be that when Father secretly ran away to become an adventurer, one of his teammates was actually the old King Fred of the Warrior Country? Is the rumor true? What about the rumors about the identities of the other teammates?

So why have the Arnor Kingdom and the Warrior Country been fighting each other all these years?

Anzi III unfolded the somewhat crumpled letter, which had clearly been read many times. After glancing at it twice, he suddenly couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, this old guy, hahaha, interesting, his situation is no better than mine!"

The letter from the old King Fred of the Warrior Country is somewhat puzzling, both in its outward appearance and its inner meaning.

This letter, written by his own hand, has a very wild feel to it, typical of the older generation of Warrior —the handwriting is extremely ugly.

The meaning that Serena painstakingly deciphered using her literacy magic can be summarized as follows:

Fred wants to send a large delegation to the Arnor Kingdom to learn about the spirit of Warrior!

Furthermore, it was mentioned that they wanted to spend a large sum of money to invite the Hero Elsa to preach in the Warrior Country, to tell how she fought bravely under the heavy pressure of Iliphis.

These requirements seem reasonable and easy to understand, right?

But thinking about it carefully, the two countries had just fought a war not long ago, and their historical relationship was quite tense. Moreover, the Arnor Kingdom was currently suffering from a major disaster and there were some unstable factors in the country. How could they possibly let the delegation mentioned in the letter, which might have numbered in the thousands, enter?

How could Fred dare to write such an outrageous request?!

After receiving the letter, Serena muttered more than once whether King Fred was really suffering from dementia. Logically speaking, shouldn't the dragon blood that the royal family usually drank be good for their health and virility?

Anzi III's letter, however, revealed a gloating tone, and one could almost detect a hint of a sarcastic friend.

He knew why Fred was in such a hurry.

Because the Warrior Country has truly lost the Warrior spirit from its historical traditions!

The Warrior Country, which has always Wu De, is a nation blessed by the God of War. It is famous for its bravery and chivalrous character. Excellent Warrior are indeed blessed by the God of War and gain the power to fight against the Demon King, which is commonly known as "Brave".

It boasts the lineage of numerous Weapon Skill masters, whose traditions claim that regardless of one's stance, any talented student can receive the most suitable Weapon Skill instruction. It is a paradise that every Warrior yearns for. Various traditional cultures intertwine to form a national treasure known as the spirit of the Warrior.

However, at some point, this treasure was gradually lost by later generations.

At some point in history, the number of newborns with exceptional magical talent surged in the Warrior Country, while the number of people with talent in Weapon Skill remained lukewarm or even declined. Moreover, the infant mortality rate increased, and the inheritance of many Weapon Skill was shaken.

The impact of such events is not so simple. The old adage "the sword and the knife are the greatest honor" has been abandoned, and "praising omnipotent magic" has somehow become a common saying.

In recent years, however, something even more dangerous has emerged.

Some young people claim that the great Warrior and famous battles praised and promoted in the history of the Warrior Country are all things concocted by stubborn old men who rigidly worship the spirit of Warrior to bewitch people, with the aim of making people continue to follow the Old Road of Warrior and abandon the convenient and omnipotent magic.

Even worse, some have begun to deconstruct the legends that once inspired people to carry on the spirit of Warrior, and have done even more outrageous things. Historical nihilism is fermenting rampantly in the Warrior Country.

To this day, the spirit of Warrior is in grave danger, and not a single Brave has emerged, let alone one blessed by the god of war.

Even the traditional War Festival was almost canceled due to the domestic situation, but it was only through Fred's and many other surviving elders' strong insistence that preparations were made and it is finally going to be held soon.

It's fair to say that this year's War Festival is Fred's all-or-nothing gamble!

If the festival cannot awaken the lost spirit of Warrior in the people, the future of the Warrior Country will truly be plunged into chaos!

At that time, it might be renamed the Kingdom of Magic, losing the foundation of this nation that was blessed by the God of War, and not even a single Brave could be born!

"Hahaha, hahaha."

Wiping away the tears of laughter, Anzi III returned the letter to Serena, having already reached a conclusion in his heart.

"If it were me, I would have granted the poor old man's last request."

Do you agree?

Serena was still a little worried. Come to think of it, what kind of Warrior spirit did their country have that was worth learning from?

Those guys who spend all day invading and raiding the Zane Dungeon? They'll only become more and more despicable as they learn from others. If they really learn from others, their Warrior spirit will probably be corrupted.

Anzi III noticed the worry in Serena's tone and was about to say something to reassure her that there was no harm in it.

But just then, there was a knock on the door of the palace. Anzi III glanced at the clock and realized that it was already time.

After receiving permission, General Ji Li Man Bo entered and said:

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to Sien."

Anzi III nodded and remarked with emotion:

"I should also thank this dungeon that saved me."
