From the intelligence from both sides, we can at least know that the Holy Church does not seem to intend to make public the matter of Baresi's encounter with the ' Necromancy ' and his assassination attempt. They do not want to make the matter public knowledge, but rather to investigate it secretly. This makes Sun Fei feel more at ease, because from beginning to end only Sun Fei knows about this matter, and the existence of the Diablo World is extremely mysterious, so they are not afraid that the Church will be able to find out.
Putting the matter aside for the time being, Sun Fei saw that it was still early, so he went to the main camp and gave Inzaghi and the others some martial arts instruction.
At this point, Sun Fei's knowledge of martial arts on the Azeroth Continent had become much richer and more solid. He had also recently gained a lot of knowledge about assassins in the real world from a mysterious powerful figure. Unlike before, when he just relied on [ Assassin Mode ] to figure things out, now that he had more knowledge, he could speak with more substance and could be considered a good teacher.
In front of the royal tent at the camp, Inzaghi, along with Michael Owen, David Beckham, Cavani, and Raúl, were practicing the basic techniques and movements of assassination under Sun Fei's guidance.
Inzaghi, a former mercenary with combat experience, was the oldest and strongest among them. This slightly dark-skinned and thin young man was a natural-born assassin. He grasped the techniques taught by Sun Fei extremely quickly, and with the modifications from the [ Hulk Potion ], his strength had increased significantly. Now, with the help of his innate abilities, taking on Three-Star-Rank Warrior in a one-on-one fight was no problem.
Michael Owen, on the other hand, is a very cute boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is just twelve years old, with short golden hair. He is slightly shy but also has a Aura about him. The weapon he chose is a Long Spear, which is not very suitable for an assassin, but he makes it move with great force and has a lot of momentum.
David Beckham was quite the handsome young man, with blond hair and a striking face, and he chose a silver scimitar.
Cavani was a natural giant. Although he was only thirteen years old, he was already 1.7 meters tall. Like Inzaghi, he chose an extreme dagger. He was taciturn and not handsome, but his face was angular. He was extremely hardworking and had average talent, but for some reason, Sun Fei quite admired this quiet little guy.
Although González Raúl was also an assassin, he preferred to wear all white and Aura a gleaming silver rapier. While he wasn't as handsome as Beckham, he possessed a rare and refined air about him, indicating exceptional talent.
These individuals all came from the slums and suffered countless hardships in their childhood. Their parents died early in the chaos of war, and they witnessed human tragedies, including the tragic deaths of Uncle York and Little Tina. Their lives were extremely miserable, which is why they cherished their current life with Sun Fei, where they could also learn martial arts. In the Azeroth Continent, martial arts were the foundation for survival. Their feelings for Sun Fei Sun Fei no less than those for Pierce and Drogba, and they regarded him as a father and brother, showing him the utmost respect.
Only children who have truly suffered will know how to cherish everything.
Therefore, Sun Fei was very satisfied with the children's performance. His Majesty the King did not really intend to have the children assassinate anyone for him, but he had to find something for them to do to enrich their young lives. In the jungle-law Azeroth Continent, learning martial arts was obviously a good choice. Moreover, the children had a deep-seated hatred for the blood feud at Hot Springs Pass and were determined to take revenge, which could be considered a spiritual sustenance.
Golden sunlight shone on the open ground of the camp. In the distance, the Heng and Ha Generals were training the Saint and Urban Management. Torres was also diligently practicing his archery skills, and Robben was practicing swordsmanship with a group of Saint. Apart from Petr Čech, who was still asleep in bed, everyone in the Chambord camp was busy and the scene was bustling with activity.
Outside the camp, people came and went, and everyone looking at the Chambord people through the fence was filled with envy, especially the few young men who had received personal guidance from the King of Chambord, who were the envy of countless people. At this time, in many people's minds, Sun Fei was no different from a martial arts grandmaster.
As sunset approached, the Bolo Empire dispatched an envoy to the Chambord camp, bringing an antidote and a small note. It was a way for the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] to treat the unconscious Čech after he had recovered from his serious injuries.
Others may not know how the Silver-Armored Berserker managed to survive under the sword of One Sword, but the Silver-Armored Berserker himself vaguely guessed it. In addition, the old King also told him about the conversation between Sun Fei and One Sword. Therefore, as soon as the Silver-Armored Berserker woke up from his coma, he immediately sent someone to come.
Sun Fei carefully examined the piece of paper and finally confirmed his guess. The methods of the [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] did indeed affect the soul, just like his [ Sorrow and Joy Sword ], [ Parting and Reunion Sword ], and [ Nameless Sword ] could arouse the emotions of his opponents. It was a very mysterious sword technique. After seeing the contents of the piece of paper, Sun Fei was completely certain of the method to sober up Čech and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After thanking Sun Fei's messenger for the gifts, and inquiring about the [ Silver-Armored Berserker's ] injuries, they learned that the madman's injuries were quite serious, but thanks to the medicine given by Sun Fei and the treatment from the physicians of the Bolo Empire, he was no longer in danger of death, only needing to rest for a period of time.
After the envoy left, the setting sun had gradually disappeared below the distant horizon.
Just then, Sun Fei suddenly noticed that the various army corps stationed in the distant Twenty Mile Affiliated State-owned Area were showing signs of frequent mobilization, with large numbers of troops beginning to gather towards the capital, as if something was happening.
"Could there be a new development in the battle at the front? Could it be that [ God of War ] Arshavin has encountered a formidable enemy?"
Sun Fei had a very bad feeling.
After thinking for a moment, he sent out a few of the more astute Urban Management to gather information.
Although Sun Fei didn't feel much belonging to the Zenit Empire, no one is immune to disaster. If the Zenit Empire were to perish, Chambord City would also be in turmoil. Moreover, the new legion would be heading to the front lines after its formation, and Sun Fei was determined to gain control of it. He also needed to keep an eye on the situation at the front.
Time passed slowly, and night enveloped the earth.
The city management officer who went out to gather information quickly returned, bringing news that surprised Sun Fei: it turned out that the Spartacus Empire's Martial Saint Iaquinta and his entourage had arrived in the capital and would engage in a life-or-death battle with the Empire's Martial Saint Krasich atop Martial Saint Mountain in five days.
This Martial Saint Battle was originally arranged long ago.
With the two great empires declaring war on all fronts, this Martial Saint Battle was Grant even greater significance. For any empire, the existence of the Martial Saint is the soul and spirit of the empire's warriors, the spiritual pillar of the entire imperial army, and the faith of countless people. Although the Martial Saint does not possess any imperial power, he is worshipped by countless people like an idol.
The outcome of the Martial Saint Battle represents the result of the ultimate martial prowess contest between empires.
Once the Martial Saint Battle, the Empire will be powerless to fight against the opposing Martial Saint. At that time, even military operations will face enormous risks. In the wars on the Azeroth Continent, the role played by top-tier warriors is immeasurable, and they can often turn the tide of battle.
The Spartacus Empire's Martial Saint and his entourage kept a very low profile this time, and their arrival in the capital attracted almost no attention. Of course, the news was not deliberately concealed, and soon most people knew about it. Although the imperial authorities had full confidence in Martial Saint Krasich, they still redeployed the three legions towards the capital to avoid the most dangerous situation from happening.
"So that's how it is." Sun Fei said thoughtfully.
Sun Fei was also very much looking forward to this Martial Saint Battle, but he didn't know what restrictions there would be on watching it. In any case, Sun Fei was determined to see this duel between the two strongest warriors of the two great empires.
Within the twenty-mile-long state-owned district, the atmosphere is subtly changing.
Upon hearing of the arrival of the enemy's Martial Saint, some warriors and nobles from the southern war zone flocked to the camp of Iaquinta and his party to hurl insults and accusations, condemning Spartak's insolent invasion and atrocities.
Angela did not return from the capital until nightfall.
However, the eldest princess sent someone to the Chambord camp with a message, saying that there would be a grand banquet for celebrities and nobles that evening, and Angela would stay to attend the banquet and would not return until tomorrow.
Sun Fei frowned but said nothing.
The night passed in silence as Sun Fei entered the Diablo World kill monsters and level up.
This time he chose the Barbarian Mode, leveling up and killing all night. He completed almost all the quests on the third act's world map, and he and Elena fought their way through the dungeons until they reached the second underground level of the Durance of Hate, where they were almost at the time limit.
Sun Fei decided not to challenge Mephisto, the final boss of Act III, before he was fully prepared. Instead, he returned to the Rogue Encampment, learned some relevant knowledge from Sister Dama and Uncle Cain, and inquired about the progress of solving the secret room of the spatial god. After learning that success was within reach, he resisted the urge to learn more and left the Diablo World.
At this point, the Barbarian Mode level had reached 76.
The Empire Ranking Competition of the Martial Combat Competition continued on the second day.
The draw for the semifinals was finally completed in front of tens of thousands of people. Sun Fei and Elena faced off against each other, while the Little Prince of Luck Shevchenko and [ One Sword ] were matched up against each other.
This matchup is a bit of a disappointment for Chambord City. Regardless of the outcome, one of the two will be eliminated. [ One Sword ] is clearly much luckier than King of Chambord, having run into Shevchenko, a complete fraud. It seems he can easily make it to the finals without much effort.
Given this matchup, the clash between King of Chambord and [ One Sword ], a duel brimming with destiny, seemed entirely predictable.
