Amidst the cheers of the people of Marton City, Sun Fei returned to the temporary camp where the Chambord Army had been stationed.

Adhering to Sun Fei's policy of "not taking a single needle or thread from the Alania people," the Chambord Army, during last night's battle and the subsequent maintenance of order, did not harm the Aranians in the slightest, nor did they accept gifts from some of the city's wealthy and old nobles. Their strict discipline earned them the respect of the city's 60,000 to 70,000 Alania people. This gradually led some of the Alania Resistance Army, who had initially worried that the Chambord people would become invaders after defeating the Anzhi, to trust this powerful ally.

At this time, despite a busy night, Charles and others were still busy setting up the governing body of Marton City and conducting a large-scale conscription. Almost all able-bodied young men were recruited into the Resist army for military training in preparation for the impending war.

Fortunately, after defeating Anzhi, who was Anzhi there, they obtained a large amount of military supplies, enough to arm an army of nearly 10,000 men.

The lightning-fast recapture of Marton City overnight gave them hope for the East Mountain the Alania Empire. If handled properly and with the continued support of the Chambord people, the restoration of the empire would be more than just a dream.

This victory in the long, dark night was like a guiding torch in the midst of despair, illuminating the path to survival. It ignited unprecedented fervor among the Alania people, uniting commoners and nobles alike in their efforts to defeat the Anzhi.

Sun Fei welcomed this trend.

In fact, this was one of the considerations when His Majesty the King dared to launch a distant expedition with only a thousand soldiers.

The rapid rise of the Anzhi Empire is indeed astonishing, but in reality, their foundation is not solid. Especially since they have not yet fully absorbed the population and resources of the conquered lands, their extremely short-sighted practices of exorbitant taxes and plundering are nothing short of foolish and short-sighted. The Anzhi people's Bloody suppression has already provoked fierce resistance from the original inhabitants of these lands, leading to a complex web of contradictions.

If we can unite these indigenous people who are suffering terribly, and give them a little encouragement to see hope of overthrowing the Anzhi people's tyranny, we can create a prairie fire from a single spark, without requiring Chambord City and the Zenit Empire to expend too much of their strength. After all, accumulating strength is the key to victory before the real chaos arrives.

Therefore, Sun Fei naturally had to provide a certain degree of support for Anzhi's actions.

Back at the Barracks, His King summoned officers of all ranks for a discussion, learned about the situation in the army, and finally took the time to meet with the members of the temporarily elected authority of Alania in Marton City, selectively agreeing to the Alania people' request for military strength and supplies.

Soon, dozens of long-distance Teleport magic arrays were set up in the Barracks, with various magical flames flashing continuously, and supplies were transported out in a steady stream.

Since Marton City was the first city captured from the Anzhi people, Sun Fei had many ideas that needed to be tested in this town. Therefore, the Chambord Army did not leave in a hurry, but instead stayed here for three days.

During these three days, in addition to providing various material support, Sun Fei also did something that, by accident, had a profound impact on the later situation in the Northern Region and the rise of Chambord —he transported the Divine Masters to Marton City via Teleport, where they preached and spread their teachings.

Sun Fei was an extremely busy man. Since becoming Pope, although this declining branch of the Holy Church had moved to Chambord City, he had essentially no involvement in the affairs of the Dali Kingdom Temple. Everything was handled by deacon Gabriel Batistuta and other elders of the original sect.

Of course, the young priest Garcia of the new generation also received training.

Given Sun Fei's prestige in Chambord City, his doctrines spread extremely rapidly, quickly becoming the only branch of the sect in Chambord City.

However, expanding the scope of influence will be a little more difficult.

After all, other regional parishes had long been occupied by other denominations and had already been divided up.

However, the chaos caused by Anzhi has now provided an opportunity for Sun Fei.

Taking Marton City as an example, due to the outbreak of the ' Undead Frenzy ' and the Anzhi people's slaughter, the Holy Church personnel in the city had long since evacuated, leaving behind a doctrinal vacuum. Thus, according to the Holy Church's doctrine, any branch of the denomination has the right to preach and develop in this vacuum, making it perfectly legitimate.

Furthermore, the city's residents were extremely dissatisfied with the Church priests' escape during the crisis, and many abandoned their original faiths, making the preaching activities easily accepted.

Twenty selected elite divine masters arrived in the city the day after Marton City liberation.

Although low-level priests were powerless against the dark forces of Hell, these charlatans possessed extensive experience in healing wounds and comforting hearts. They spared no effort in using their Holy Power to heal the city's inhabitants and to fund the army, quickly becoming the source of faith for the city's more than 60,000 Alania people.

The doctrines of the sect were already quite compatible with Sun Fei's beliefs. Moreover, as the Pope, Sun Fei had the right to modify the doctrines as long as they did not violate the sacred texts. Sun Fei had previously spent considerable effort revising and studying these doctrines, so he wasn't worried about any adverse consequences or other sects in the Northern Region stealing his thunder.

Most importantly, as the pope of the sect, Sun Fei naturally received vigorous praise from the priests. Various true and false accounts of Sun Fei's 'noble deeds,' 'courageous actions,' and 'merciful words' spread uncontrollably throughout Marton City through the mouths of these twenty young priests.

It's important to understand that Sun Fei's previous actions had already led the Alania people in the city to regard him as a savior. The title of " Human Emperor of the Northern Region " was already being recited fluently even by three-year-olds. With the further propaganda from the priests, the Alania people of Marton City had become completely loyal followers of His Majesty the King.

While testing his various ideas in Marton City, Sun Fei closely observed the developments in the Northern Region and the four major regions of East, South, West, and Central. All the information repeatedly confirmed that the Great Chaos of Azeroth had truly arrived.
