Chambord City.
The Zenit Empire, a first-class empire, is a sixth-class vassal state among its 250 vassal states. It is weak and has a small territory. It was originally a small country that could be bullied by everyone and no one would take it seriously.
But things began to develop in an unexpected direction after King Alexander of Chambord City, who was known as a disgrace among King, suddenly returned to normal four months ago.
The Black Armor Army's battle, due to its accidental nature, was unknown to the other vassal states. However, everything that happened on the summit of East Mountain during the King's coronation celebration, as well as the news of the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army's joint raid on Kingdom of Chambord and the complete annihilation of their army, quickly spread among the various vassal states under the Zenit Empire.
The reputation of the new King of Chambord Alexander and his valiant warriors spread like the rolling golden waves of grass on the plains in front of Chambord City, reaching the ears of every King. Although the Azeroth Continent did not have modern media like the world Sun Fei lived in his previous life, such news still spread quite quickly.
At first, some people scoffed at this.
How strong could the military be of a tiny, sixth-rank vassal state? Don't be ridiculous. Forget the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army, even the state of Red Water City could easily conquer Chambord City and capture the King of Chambord in the time it takes to eat a meal. The legendary feat of defeating the Nine Kingdoms Allied Army is simply impossible.
But what followed proved all the doubters utterly wrong.
In the past month, several of the rumored defeated nations actually sent delegations, humbly offering reparations and being forced to welcome back their King in an extremely humiliating manner. This scene was witnessed by almost everyone who cared, finally confirming the earlier news of the great victory at Chambord City.
At this point, the major vassal states were finally awakened, and they had to begin to re-examine this suddenly rising small country.
Things are starting to get interesting!
In less than twenty days, the military exercises of the 250 vassal states under the Zenit Empire will begin. This is a grand showdown that will determine the fate of all vassal states, and it is also an excellent arena for many ambitious people to clash and strategize. No one wants an unknown and mysterious opponent to suddenly appear at this critical juncture, to break the boulder of delicate balance, and to disrupt the chess game that they have almost completely set up.
During this period, envoys, spies, merchants, bards, mercenaries, adventurers from all over the world flocked to Chambord City Chambord City various purposes. This small border country had never been so bustling and prosperous.
Of course, the large influx of outsiders also posed a challenge to the security of Chambord City.
In a world where might makes right and the law of the jungle prevails, it's common for warriors and mercenaries to break the law with their martial arts, and to draw their swords at the slightest disagreement. Adding to this, some people deliberately stirred up trouble to test the strength of Chambord City, and violence erupted one after another. Initially, the Ministry of Justice of Justice, responsible for maintaining order Chambord City the city, was overwhelmed, and even the Right Chancellor Best, was truly troubled. However, after Legion Commander Gordon Brook dispatched two of the King 'Golden Knight, Taurus Didier Drogba and Capricorn Paul Pierce, with dozens of Saint, the situation was quickly resolved.
The streets have returned to calm.
"Look, those are the two savage beasts of Chambord City!"
"Those two burly men? They look kind of dim-witted? Are they the ones who crippled all eleven top members of the Maple Leaf Mercenary Corps the day before yesterday and imprisoned them in that terrifying ' Little Black Room ' in Chambord City?"
"That's right, it was them. See that black-haired guy? He's the one who bent over and easily knocked out the arrogant Maple Leaf Mercenary Corps leader, a Two-Star Class Peak Stage expert, without him even having the slightest chance to struggle... It was truly terrifying. You didn't see what happened. I suspect that if that guy had just bent over, he could have even smashed down the city wall!"
"And that white-haired guy, his hands are like divine weapons, capable of shattering any weapon or armor. It's said that until now, no one has been able to withstand a single blow from him..."
"Good heavens, where did Chambord City find these two Barbarian?"
"I don't know... but don't underestimate the group of burly men behind those two beasts known as the Golden Knight under King of Chambord. They're not to be trifled with either. Someone once witnessed twenty of those burly men knocking their leader to the ground during a training session that resembled a life-or-death battle..."
As Drogba and Pierce's patrol entered, the young mercenaries sitting in the tavern quickly shut their mouths. No one dared to be as brazen as they had been a dozen days ago. For over a decade, the ruthless enforcement of the law by the " Saint " and " Urban Management " of Chambord City had earned them infamous reputations, completely terrifying these unruly outsiders. The screams that echoed daily from the " Little Black Room " had turned these originally conflicted individuals into docile sheep. Now, just seeing those two beast-like Golden Knight King of Chambord leading their Saint approach felt like a mountain was crushing them. They didn't dare speak loudly; a single glance from them felt like being stared at by a Hell beast.
Only after King of Chambord's two Golden Knight and the Saint disappeared around the corner in the distance did the outsiders in the tavern finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Phew, they're finally gone... Damn it, once they saw me, I lost all interest in drinking!"
"What are you waiting for? It's almost time! The Goddess should be showing up soon, let's hurry and go see Goddess!"
" Goddess?"
"Hey, don't tell me you really didn't know! Every afternoon around this time, a stunningly beautiful young woman, as captivating as Goddess, appears on the grassland across the river outside the city, riding a huge black dog. Many people say she's the incarnation of Goddess, and it's said that even the black geese flying south in the sky can't help but linger and stop when they see her beautiful face..."
The young mercenary's eyes were already shining as he spoke. After downing a glass of ale, everyone's testosterone levels were soaring. Upon hearing that there was a beautiful woman, the group all stood up and headed out of the city. Even some of the other busybodies in the tavern got up and followed after hearing the word " Goddess."
Outside the city.
In late autumn, the grassland turns golden, and as the autumn wind blows, the vast expanse resembles a surging sea of gold.
Under a blue sky and white clouds, the sun shone with a hint of warmth. On the boundless golden grassland, a herd of horses galloped and played like dragons swimming in the sea. In the distance, on a slightly raised mound, Big Black lay squinting in the grass, surrounded by sixty level-four magical Crimson Flame Beast, who stood guard like loyal guards.
This is a tranquil and beautiful picture of late autumn, which would have captivated countless hearts.
However, all the glory was stolen by the girl standing next to the Big Black.
The girl's skin was as white as snow, her eyes like pools of clear water. With each glance, she possessed an elegant and noble air that captivated all who beheld her, making them feel inferior and unworthy to defile her. Yet, beneath that aloof and lively spirit lay a mesmerizing allure, leaving one unable to resist her charm. Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, her complexion was as radiant as jade, like a crescent moon with its halo, like snow piled on flowering trees. Her figure was slender, her long, jet-black hair gathered at her waist, gently tied back with a pink ribbon. A white dress, set against the backdrop of the golden grassland, shone even more brilliantly. It seemed as if her body was shrouded in mist and shimmering with light, otherworldly and untouched by worldly concerns, truly not of this mortal realm. Turning around by chance, one could see that the girl was in the prime of her youth, no more than nineteen years old, incomparably beautiful, her beauty breathtaking, almost too stunning to look at directly.
It was as if all the beauty and brilliance in the world had been concentrated on this girl, and nothing could steal her radiance in the slightest.
The young mercenaries came out of the city, crossed the stone bridge and the steel drawbridge, and walked up a gentle hill, where they witnessed this scene.
Upon seeing this, everyone stood frozen in place, as if struck by Charged Bolt, losing their ability to think.
Could there really be such a beautiful girl in the world?
Everyone could feel their heart breaking free from their body and flying towards that Goddess -like girl, wishing only to stay by her side for the rest of their lives, then they would have no regrets.
Among the group, one young man had lost his ability to think, as if his soul had been controlled. He walked aimlessly toward the girl in the distance, his eyes glazed over. An older companion nearby reacted, grabbing him in alarm and shouting, " David, are you crazy? Do you want to die?"
"I... I just wanted to talk to her for a few minutes!" the young man struggled.
"Say a few words? Young man, do you know who she is? She's the fiancée of King of Chambord Alexander, the beloved daughter of Best, the Right Chancellor of Chambord City, and the undisputed future First Lady of Chambord City. Even those two savage beasts and their Saint subordinates become as docile as gentle kittens when they see her... And look at that Big Black beside her; it can tear apart even Two-Star Warrior in an instant. Legend has it that it's Divine Dog Hell King of Chambord Alexander captured from the depths of Hell..." The older companion's words became increasingly fantastical. "And look at those level four magical Crimson Flame Beast, surrounding her. They're all incredibly violent, and it's said that in just over half a month, they've trampled more than ten lecherous men to death... Strangely enough, these violent magical beasts treat this King of Chambord like docile servants."
The others around were already somewhat stunned.
It turns out this stunningly beautiful girl has such a remarkable background, and her abilities seem extraordinary as well; at least in commanding magical beasts, she possesses a talent that is difficult for others to match.
"What a pity! Such an outstanding girl, and she's going to marry a legendary idiot like King of Chambord!" The young mercenary, finally pulled back by his companion, said indignantly.
" King of Chambord isn't an idiot anymore; just look at the Twelve Bronze Warrior Code..."
Just as the older companion was about to say something, suddenly—
Ta-da!
After an unknown period of silence, the huge iron bell on the top of Chambord City was suddenly struck.
The distant and grand sound of the bell shattered the tranquility between heaven and earth, instantly resounding throughout the city and startling a flock of birds in the mountains. As the bell echoed, a sudden atmosphere of tension and excitement began to permeate the entire Chambord City.
On the distant golden grassy hills, the Big Black, which had been dozing with its eyes half-closed, perked up its ears, its eyes gleaming with a sharp light. Beside it, the stunningly beautiful girl, whose expression had remained calm for the past month, also revealed a look of surprise in her beautiful eyes. She turned around, mounted the Big Black's back, and with a whoosh, the galloping and frolicking horses and more than sixty Crimson Flame Beast on the grassland marched in orderly formation, galloping behind the Big Black, shaking the earth like a flood bursting its banks and surging into the Chambord City.
"Could it be... that King of Chambord Alexander, who has been claiming to be in seclusion for cultivation, is finally about to emerge?"
Countless outsiders with ulterior motives in the city witnessed this scene, and all of them showed expressions of shock, looking towards the Chambord City from different directions.
I've been working three nights in a row, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. My eyes are red, swollen, and very painful.
I happened to see that the legendary player Luo Badao has recently been diagnosed with an eye ailment, and I felt a deep sense of sympathy for him.
Happy Singles' Day!
