A large number of prisoners were brought into the city. The armor and weapons left on the battlefield were sorted and loaded into the six wagons that the young female Rogue had previously called wagons. Even the broken armor and broken swords were included. The performance of the Chambord City Urban Management was worthy of their great name. They searched the plain in front of the city dozens of times, and not even a small arrowhead was left.
Chambord City has reaped a great harvest this time.
Besides more than fifty complete and precious heavy knight armor sets, there were also more than a hundred intact shields, more than two hundred Long Spear, more than three hundred fine steel greatswords, and more than eighty sets of exquisite chainmail. This equipment was more than enough to arm the entire army of Chambord City at present. Most of the remaining damaged armor and weapons were collected as scrap metal and sent to the blacksmith in the back mountain. After repair or resmelting, a large number of equipment and tools could be made, which at least temporarily alleviated the shortage of ironware in Chambord City.
While the soldiers were still busy, Sun Fei rode his Big Black, leading the excited children on a journey towards Chengzhong, chatting and laughing all the way.
Before the city gates, the common people of Chambord City had already rushed out to line the streets and welcome the soldiers. Young girls threw bouquets of flowers onto the path as the soldiers passed, and shouts of "Long live King Alexander!" echoed like waves crashing against the ancient city walls. Beside Sun Fei, every little boy stood tall and proud, excited, for they too had just witnessed this memorable victory for Chambord City.
Just as proud as the little guy was the Big Black [ Black Whirlwind ].
This beast was practically a psychic, completely human-like. With its squinting eyes and grinning mouth, it gave the impression of a cunning giant like Drogba appearing before one's eyes. When facing its own people, this guy was very good at acting cute and very kind, showing none of the ferocity and savagery it displayed when facing enemies. By this time, the citizens of Chambord City had become completely familiar with this enormous, somewhat grotesque dog. Because it had always been inseparable from King Alexander, and because of the beast's recent display of intelligence and fighting prowess, many people had begun to like it and started calling it " the Divine Dog."
Amidst the cheering crowd, Sun Fei spotted his fiancée Angela and the blonde little Loli Jima, who had rushed over.
The two girls had previously followed Sister Akara to the deep mountains behind the city to learn about potions and herbs. Although Elena's body underwent a strange change, Sun Fei's timely appearance meant they weren't in a hurry to return to the city. Instead, they spent some time learning with Sister Akara and other girls from the ' Chambord City Civil and Martial School.' Only when Akara had to return to the Diablo World did they reluctantly descend the mountain. Upon arriving in the city, they heard the news of the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army's joint invasion. They rushed to the city walls, only to find the battle already over and Chambord City had won a great victory. Only then did they feel relieved.
Sun Fei chuckled and jumped off the Big Black's back. Ignoring the crowd around him, he helped his beautiful fiancée onto the back of [ Black Whirlwind ]. Under the beautiful sunset, the shy Angela looked like a beautiful Goddess. Amidst the cheers and good-natured laughter of the people, Sun Fei, holding Jima's hand and supporting Angela, slowly walked towards the palace. The setting sun cast long shadows behind them, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
When passing by the ' Chambord City Civil and Martial School ', Sun Fei dismissed the little guys who had been following him. Of course, he also left them with 'homework': they were to pick up parchment manuscripts and quill pens at the school and each submit a 'commentary on the battle' the next day. Sun Fei really wished the little guys would grow up by the next day and become useful talents for Chambord City. At present, Chambord City's thirst for talent was at its peak.
Returning to the palace amidst laughter, Sun Fei began to recall and organize the gains and losses of the day's battle, carefully recording them on a parchment manuscript. This was a habit he had long cultivated—to record his daily discoveries and thoughts, constantly using various methods to make himself stronger; having only the Diablo World as a cheat code was not enough.
Another period of busy activity ensued.
Dinner did not begin until the Sun had completely disappeared behind the western mountains.
Dinner was sumptuous. Over time, the clever and observant Angela had gradually noticed that Sun Fei didn't particularly like the palace food. She had even observed what Sun Fei liked and disliked to eat. In addition, Sun Fei had casually mentioned a few simple snacks from his previous life a few times before. So now, she and Jima were basically in charge of His King's dinners. Sun Fei ate very comfortably.
" Alexander, is Elena alright?" Angela suddenly asked during the meal.
Sun Fei's heart skipped a beat. Recalling the alluring scene in the stone chamber, he assumed it was a woman's terrifying sixth sense that had alerted his fiancée. He glanced at her guiltily, only to see Angela's innocent and worried eyes. He immediately realized he had overthought things and felt a pang of shame. He smiled and said, "It's all fine now. Elena encountered a small problem during her magic cultivation; she was overwhelmed by the magic's backlash. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and after some gentle guidance, she's perfectly fine now."
Angela gently brushed a strand of silky black hair that had fallen beside her ear, her innocent eyes brimming with joy. She patted her chest softly. "By Your Majesty, God of War, that's wonderful! I was so scared of Elena when she was covered in blood! We were all so worried about her!"
Sun Fei smiled and took a bite of food.
Sooner or later, Sun Fei would definitely have to tell Angela everything that had happened between him and Elena. He never intended to hide it from the beginning, because that would be unfair to both Elena and Angela.
Yes, he liked Angela, the girl's innocence and kindness. He also unknowingly developed feelings for Elena, the female mercenary, and admired their seamless teamwork during life-or-death battles. For Sun Fei, his past life's soul was that of a nerdy guy with little Resist to beautiful women. Spending so much time with two girls who could be considered ' Goddess ' of nerds,' developing feelings for them was beyond his control. He originally thought that his engagement with Angela would ensure a lifelong commitment, but who knew he would encounter such a situation? Sun Fei felt as if some mysterious voice from the Diablo World was deliberately creating this predicament.
Today's opportunity wasn't good, so Sun Fei decided to hold off for now and find a better time to explain the matter to Angela.
After finishing their meal, Sun Fei was still wide awake when he suddenly remembered something and led Angela to the royal stables.
The captured warhorses and over sixty Crimson Flame Beast have been sent to the stables. The usually empty stables have finally become lively. There are not many servants in the palace, only a dozen or so, so they are too busy to keep up. Sun Fei simply brought Angela, who loves animals, to comfort the horses and Crimson Flame Beast, who are now in a state of panic, and to help them relax.
"Be careful, they're not used to their new environment yet, they're very irritable and might hurt people."
Sun Fei gave some careful instructions and had several servants take good care of Angela. He then went to the middle of the stable, where more than sixty Crimson Flame Beast were kept.
He began to carefully observe the hybrid offspring of these [sacred beasts] unicorns and divine steeds.
The Crimson Flame Beast's general appearance is similar to that of an ordinary steed, but it is much stronger and taller. Its body is covered with fine, dense scales that cling tightly to the surface of its skin, and the scales around its hooves are even finer. When it is nervous or angry, its eyes turn blood red. It has fine, sharp teeth that are aggressive. Its body has a graceful shape and its carrying capacity is three to four times that of an ordinary steed. It is a fourth-tier magical beast and is a creature that exists to equip heavy armored cavalry.
However, these magical beasts are relatively rare, and they are wild and untamed with extremely fierce temperaments. If captured alive, they will starve themselves to death. The Red Water Kingdom was very lucky to obtain some cubs, and it took several generations of taming to achieve the results we have today. The Crimson Flame Beast in front of us have retained the carrying capacity and running ability of wild Crimson Flame Beast, and their temperaments are relatively docile, which is why they can be tamed by knights.
However, the environment had suddenly changed, and the previous owners were nowhere to be seen. Many of them were injured from the previous collision. Following Sun Fei's orders, the soldiers of Chambord City brought all the Crimson Flame Beast that were still alive here. Fifty or sixty of them huddled together. The eyes of these beasts were all deep red, and they were obviously in a state of extreme tension and agitation, making it difficult for strangers to approach them.
At first, Sun Fei tried to approach several times, but was driven back by the Crimson Flame Beast with kicks and bites each time.
Using brute force would likely only make things worse.
Sun Fei thought for a moment, then switched to [ Druid Mode ].
At this moment, the Druid character had reached level 21, and had gained a deeper understanding of the Heart of Nature and the Heart of Animals. The moment he switched to [ Druid Mode ], sure enough, a tense, irritable, and anxious negative emotion immediately emanated from the Crimson Blaze Beast opposite him. Sun Fei clearly sensed the emotional fluctuations of the beast pack, which were like helpless children, silently crying and struggling.
Sun Fei slowly used his Power of God to approach them, trying his best to appear friendly and affectionate, gradually dispelling their wariness, and then step by step drew closer...
"Your King, these guys are very volatile. Be careful not to get too close..."
The servants hurriedly reminded him, but before they could finish speaking, they were all stunned. The previously agitated and unapproachable Crimson Flame Beast showed no reaction whatsoever. They even moved closer to His Majesty the King, nuzzling Sun Fei's body like a wronged child confiding in his parents. The servants rubbed their eyes, hardly believing what they were seeing. It was too amazing! Before, they had tried their best but hadn't been able to get close, and had almost had their faces kicked by these beasts.
