If Kanute, Hulk, and the other captains (" Heng and Ha, the Two Scoundrels ") had been present, they would have been utterly astonished. Who would have thought that the legion commander, who was supposed to be leading the central army of the Wolf Fang Legion at the rear, would actually appear in the vanguard?
This is absolutely unexpected.
"Your Majesty... uh, Your Excellency," Čech almost couldn't get the hang of it. In the army, the form of address naturally had to change; 'His Majesty the King ' became 'Your Excellency the Legion Commander.' Čech cautiously suggested, "Should we send a messenger to the garrison of Twin Flag City tonight? That way, Lord Soroyev will be prepared, and once the army arrives, it will be easier to enter the city tomorrow..."
"No need." Sun Fei thought for a moment and declined the suggestion, " Twin Flag City is already surrounded by the Jax people. Even if we send people, they won't be able to get in."
Both Čech and Shevchenko's expressions changed.
The two men were unaware of how the legion commander knew that Twin Flag City was already under siege. The intelligence gathered during the day indicated that the Ajax cavalry had not yet besieged the city, but seeing Sun Fei's confident demeanor, they were completely convinced.
"You two should get some rest too... huh?" Sun Fei said, his expression suddenly changing.
Just a moment ago, Sun Fei suddenly sensed several hidden auras flashing by around the camp, as if searching for something. Each flash was cautious and difficult to detect, but to Sun Fei, they were as clear as candlelight in the dark.
Moreover, this aura contained undisguised hostility and was full of murderous intent, clearly indicating that it was an enemy, not a friend.
Sun Fei remained silent, closed his eyes, and instantly, a vast Spiritual Power spread out silently like a tide. Every movement of every blade of grass and every tree within a one-kilometer radius was reflected in his mind with crystal clarity.
Sun Fei sensed that there was a group of formidable experts behind the hill to the west of the camp.
A cold wind swept across the sand dunes, and the dry, thorny branches trembled slightly in the wind, covered with frost.
With a soft snort from the beasts, plumes of white smoke billowed from the nostrils of the four Ship of the Sand Sea Tigers, whose massive skeletons and powerful limbs far exceeded the norm. Riding on the backs of the Sand Tiger Sand Tiger were fully armed, cold-blooded knights. The leader, a burly man, wore a black veil covering his face, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes that gleamed with a deathly cold light, fixed intently on the Zenit Barracks five hundred meters below the hill.
Behind the four knights were four hundred Sand Tiger Knights, all veiled in black and clad in pale yellow armor. Their sharp scimitars gleamed with a deadly light under the bright, demonic moon. The four hundred knights held their breath, and the four hundred Sand Tiger, equally well-trained, held wooden sticks in their mouths without making a sound. The only sound in the world was the whistling wind.
"One Six-Star Class warrior, three Five-Star Class warriors, two Peak Four-Star Class warriors... This vanguard of the Zenit is so well-equipped; their strength is not to be underestimated." The burly knight at the head of the group spoke slowly, "No wonder they were able to slaughter three hundred and sixty-seven of my elite Earth Tiger Knights in a single day. Heh heh, are Saint under King of Chambord? I'd really like to meet these opponents..."
"So what if they're strong? Can they withstand the [ Heaven-Splitting Blade ] in your hand, sir?" A black- Earth Tiger knight beside him laughed with utter arrogance. "When the Zenit people lower their guard in the latter half of the night, we'll follow you in Charge, and in thirty minutes, we can rout this Zenit rabble!"
"Who are we Black Torrent afraid of? Lord Koeman, let's cut off the head of this Zenit vanguard commander just before Prince Heitinga's army arrives and present it to His Highness as a gift!" suggested another Black- Earth Tiger Knight.
The burly leader, Koeman, nodded slightly, about to say something, but his gaze fell on the hesitant expression of the fourth Earth Tiger Knight beside him. A thought struck him, and he asked, " Yali, what's your opinion?"
Yali bowed slightly and cautiously suggested, "My lord, according to the description given by the Earth Tiger Knights we retrieved today, the Zenit people who appeared this time are incredibly powerful. They even ride level four magical beasts like the Crimson Flame Beast, so they must be Zenit's royal elite. We cannot underestimate them. Moreover, rumors say that the newly appointed commander of Zenit's [ Wolf Fang Legion ] King of Chambord Alexander, is very strong. I think... I think... we should not act rashly. It's best to proceed cautiously and wait until Prince Heitinga's army arrives before coordinating with their actions."
"Hmph, Yali, you've become increasingly cowardly over the years. A few defeated soldiers who fled back to avoid military punishment were just exaggerating the situation. You actually believe that?" The other two Black Knights retorted with sneers.
"Forget it, no need to argue. All troops, stand by. In two hours, storm the Zenit Barracks. Remember, don't linger. Charge straight to that central tent, kill the Zenit commander, and then immediately retreat. That commander is at least a Six-Star Class expert; none of you are a match for him. Leave him to me!"
Koeman pointed his whip at the Barracks below the hill, a cold glint in his eyes, and made his final decision.
Sun Fei sat upright in the rear tent of the central tent, where the earthen-yellow magic lamp illuminated everything in the tent with exquisite detail. His Majesty the King was engrossed in reading a 2500-page book entitled "[ Chronicles of Continental Years ]".
That day, after defeating and capturing Costacu, Huntelaar, and Amauri, Sun Fei secretly kept the spatial storage rings on their bodies. After Grandpa Cain deciphered and rearranged them, the storage spaces were opened, and Sun Fei took out all the items inside. In addition to a large number of magic stones of good quality, there were also some Dou Qi manuals, cultivation notes, and other items. The variety was extensive and the value was considerable, which allowed Sun Fei to make a small fortune.
This astonishingly thick 2500-page [ Chronicles of Continental Years ] was obtained by Sun Fei from his storage ring in Costacurta. For Sun Fei, a complete novice when it comes to continental history, it is of great scientific significance. It records in detail some historical events that Sun Fei had never heard of before. It is practically an encyclopedia, covering everything from astronomy and geography to land, sea and sky.
This is a very precious book, a unique copy, which records many secrets buried in the dust of history. The items carried by Moon Class expert are indeed different from the common items in the King of Chambord Collection and the Imperial Library. The records are more numerous and detailed.
These past few days, Sun Fei has been studying this book diligently on his own. His understanding of the Azeroth Continent has progressed by leaps and bounds, much like how a couple who have finally slept together after a long and passionate romance gain a deep and rapid understanding of each other's strengths and weaknesses.
It was through this book that Sun Fei finally began to understand the path and strength classification of Moon Class experts after Star Class martial artists.
Whether they are Dou Weapon, beast spirits, or ascetic cultivators, the strength of Moon Class experts on any cultivation path is divided into three stages from weak to strong: new moon expert, Half Moon expert, and Full Moon expert. Each stage is further divided into three tiers: lower, middle, and upper, and each tier can be further divided into ten segments.
Compared to Star Class martial artists, the strength classification system for Moon Class experts is much more stringent.
If Star Class warriors represent the lowest level of power on this Bloody continent of the jungle law, then Moon Class warriors represent the backbone of the Azeroth Continent. They are the most solid units in the entire continent's military system, and their power begins to represent a voice and a path.
According to the cultivation notes stored in the storage rings of the three Moon Class powerhouses, Costacurta, having devoted himself to military affairs and fought for many years, spent the least time on martial arts cultivation. Therefore, his strength is the lowest among the three, and he is a powerhouse at the New Moon Class Lower Stage First Level, meaning he is just about to cross the threshold of the Moon Class.
Amauri and Huntelaar are at the New Moon Class Lower Tier Third Stage, two ranks higher than Costacurta.
Based on this level of strength, Sun Fei could roughly estimate that Krasic, who had killed four Moon Class experts in a panic after his outburst at the summit of Martial Saint Mountain, was probably around the Mid-Tier New Moon Class First Stage.
It can be said that apart from Emperor Yassin, whose strength is currently unclear and cannot be determined, Krasic is definitely the most powerful Moon Class expert that Sun Fei has ever encountered. As for the Church's Divine Master Baresi, Sun Fei has fought with him and can estimate that he is probably around the second or third stage of the lower Moon level.
When Star-Rank Warrior cultivates to the point where the Nine Star Vortex Dou Qi are united, the Dou Qi within their body will transform from a gaseous state into a dense liquid state. The Star Vortex disappears, and a cool sphere resembling a Demon Moon appears, which is the origin of Moon Class experts. Depending on their strength, the path a Moon Class expert must take is from a sparse to a full Demon Moon.
The [ Chronicles of Continental Years ] also includes a detailed introduction to the Ajax Empire that Sun Fei is about to face.
The Ajax Empire bordered the Zenit Empire and the Eindhoven Empire, but its territory was far larger than the combined territory of these two empires. However, since most of its land was desert and barren land, unsuitable for human habitation, the total population was not large. It was a vast and sparsely populated land, with humans living in numerous oases along the banks of several major rivers.
This was an empire that was very difficult to conquer.
Due to the harsh natural environment, the Ajax people have struggled to survive in such conditions for many years, developing a resilient and fierce character, extremely strong endurance, a high degree of bloodlust, and extreme cruelty. They are highly aggressive. The Shamo and neighboring regions not only lack resources but also other materials for living and survival. Therefore, the Ajax people frequently harass neighboring countries for survival, riding Sand Tiger that roar in and out, appearing and disappearing like ghosts, plundering like phantoms. Ajax Shamo bandits are the nightmare of countless people.
