Sun Fei witnessed the Mythical Class [ Dragon Fist ], a martial art comparable to mythology, at the final moment of the battle at Martial Saint Mountain.

The power of that punch was truly awe-inspiring and terrifying.

At that crucial moment, Emperor Yassin, whom many had declared to be old, decaying, and beyond redemption, sat in his imperial palace and unleashed a single punch from afar. Instantly, golden Fists of Fire from his fist engulfed the heavens and earth, and with an unstoppable, kingly aura, he blasted the three Moon Class experts, who were trying to escape with the griffin, down from a height of four or five thousand meters.

That punch was definitely the most powerful force Sun Fei had ever seen on the Azeroth Continent.

Even some Moon Class powerhouses are like fireflies compared to the sun in the sky when faced with this punch; the difference is as vast as millions of miles.

Today, Sun Fei sensed a similar aura in these deep well areas.

Sun Fei could even vaguely sense that this aura was more vibrant and unrestrained than the Dragon Fist of that day, as if a bright sun had risen to its most glorious moment of the day. The Dragon Fist he had witnessed at the summit of Martial Saint Mountain, although its intent remained unchanged, had a faint sense of vicissitude and aging, like the setting sun.

The two auras that were connected were different martial arts intentions, seemingly confirming people's guesses— Emperor Yassin's luck had truly run out.

As this once-promising talent was about to pass away, Sun Fei fell silent for a moment.

Fortunately, when Emperor Yassin used his supreme martial power to open up the underground river and left these more than a hundred deep wells, he also left behind Fist Intent Spiritual Imprint. Otherwise, this place would probably have become a forbidden area, where even Moon Class expert would find it difficult to approach, let alone ordinary people who usually draw water from the deep wells.

Sun Fei dismissed the Four Heavenly Kings and their guards, then wandered around the city alone.

Although the name King of Chambord Alexander was already well-known and famous in Twin Flag City, very few people had actually seen or recognized Sun Fei Sun Fei. As a result, no one recognized the young man in the blue robe with a friendly smile as the one who made the nobles of the city tremble with King of Chambord.

After leaving the well area, Sun Fei asked for directions as he slowly made his way towards the farmland northeast of the city.

The walls of Twin Flag City were reinforced with magical runes during their initial construction, making them incredibly sturdy. They could withstand the impact of massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of kilograms without any problem. Countless magical arrays were buried beneath the foundation of the walls, making the 200-meter-high walls somewhat immune to the bombardment of low-level magic of various elements. Such an impregnable city, as long as its food and water supplies remained intact, could easily hold out for two or three years with an army of 70,000 and a population of 100,000 civilians.

Therefore, after checking the water source, Sun Fei had to go and check the fertile fields.

Because it is located in the Gobi Desert, more than 90% of Twin Flag City's farmland is located in the city and relies on the water from the 100 deep wells for irrigation. Therefore, it was basically undamaged after the outbreak of war. Sun Fei ordered people to strengthen the protection of the farmland and wells last night, so there should be no problem.

The farmland is located in the northeast of Twin Flag City and covers a very large area.

Moreover, after more than 20 years of cultivation and artificial breeding, the land has become very fertile. Sun Fei had always been curious about how Twin Flag City protected winter wheat and other crops from freezing to death under such a huge temperature difference between day and night. After arriving at the site, he quickly realized the answer.

It turns out that around the farmland and at the intersection of the ridges, there were huge stones engraved with fire magic circles to suppress the fire.

These magic circles are extremely basic and simple fire-type triangular twenty-one-circuit magic circles, and they have been modified by people with extremely high skills. Their only function is to provide some slight heat to ensure that the temperature around the farmland does not drop below zero at night, thus preventing crops from dying from freezing.

And while there is warmth, the Shamo region has no shortage of sunlight.

The crops grown in Twin Flag City are far more vigorous and of higher quality than those grown in other parts of Zenit.

In the vast expanse of farmland, there are more than four hundred giant stones engraved with such magic circles. Each magic circle only requires a single, low-grade magic stone to operate and can be maintained for a whole year... Sun Fei had to admit that, in some aspects, the convenience and ingenuity of magical civilization far surpassed the technological and mechanical civilization he had witnessed in his previous life.

Looking at this precious farmland, Sun Fei couldn't help but feel grateful for the importance the imperial high command had always placed on it.

It is said that it was precisely because of the attention paid by the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Military Department, coupled with the annual northwest inspection tour by the Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall, that the nobles, including Lord Soroyev, did not demolish this farmland to build an amusement park.

Sun Fei looked at the faint, ethereal green on the ground and felt great.

If all goes well, by May, the grain produced by this farmland will be enough to feed nearly 200,000 people in the city for a year.

His Majesty the King had a misconception that when Emperor Yassin built this great city, he seemed to have foreseen many future events. The farmland and wells were all created by Emperor Yassin himself. He erected a strong gate on this desolate border, on the northwestern border of the empire.

On the way back, Sun Fei walked slowly, savoring the rare leisurely atmosphere of the city. He heard the cries of vendors, the giggles of children, and the busy figures of women on both sides of the street. The white stone houses and huge samurai statues, along with the occasional fat cat and stray dog, made Sun Fei feel more relaxed than ever before.

"Hey, it's you?" Just then, a surprised voice called out from behind.

Sun Fei turned around and saw Emile Heskey, a large, clumsy garrison officer carrying a large sack on his shoulder, looking at him with a surprised expression.

"What a coincidence, Emile, what's this...?" Sun Fei asked with a smile, seeing him carrying a sack on his shoulder and drenched in sweat.

"Hey, today the military camp paid me three months of arrears for my salary. I bought a bag of winter wheat flour and sent it to my sister..." The big man scratched the back of his head, smiled honestly, suddenly leaned over, looked around, and said cautiously, "The army in the city is very busy now, how can you have time to be here alone? Wandering around here? If your superiors find out, they will definitely punish you. I heard that the new Commander Alexander was very strict. Even the city lord and the nobles were treated submissively, and many nobles were killed. The blood stained the city wall red... You are a small officer, don't make mistakes because of laziness, be careful!"

Sun Fei was amused by his appearance, smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing. I came out for a stroll with the captain's permission."

"That's good. By the way, I'd like to invite you to my sister's house. Haha, I just bought some flour today. My sister makes such delicious honey bread; I can eat forty or fifty pieces at a time..." Heskey was very enthusiastic, immediately grabbing Sun Fei Sun Fei's hand and insisting that he try his sister's bread.

Seeing that it was still early, Sun Fei did not refuse.

Following this foolish officer, we walked along the cobblestone streets, through several alleys, past gleaming, sturdy stone houses and courtyards, and along some narrow paths lined with garbage on both sides. The buildings gradually thinned out, giving us the feeling of being in the suburbs. After about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at a small courtyard enclosed by a very simple bamboo fence.

This is a typical farmhouse courtyard.

In the fairly spacious yard, a leisurely white ewe lay, while two lambs, less than a month old, darted back and forth. Several yellow hens clucked and pecked at the withered, yellow grass in the distance. Two not-so-large houses stood with bluestone foundations and walls, their roofs made of straw in a circular shape. Dried cod and cured meat hung on the walls, attracting two greedy cats that lingered below...

"Hey, Jessica, it's me, Emile's back! My sister, I've brought a guest!" Heskey flung open the fence gate and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice booming like thunder.

Sun Fei smiled; this big, goofy guy, Heskey, was indeed quite adorable.

The wooden door creaked open, and at that moment, Sun Fei's eyes lit up.

A woman with a blue floral headscarf wrapped around her head and wearing a rough linen cotton coat patched with many fine stitches walked out of the stone house.

The girl was only about seventeen or eighteen years old, pretty and delicate. Although her small, immature body was wrapped in a rough, heavy cotton coat, she still looked exquisite and graceful. At 1.7 meters tall, her legs were longer than those of the average girl, which made her look extremely ethereal. Her eyebrows were as delicate as willow leaves, and especially her pair of large eyes, like the most perfect black crystals, sparkled with an undeniable Aura.

For some reason, it gave Sun Fei a feeling of déjà vu.

Sun Fei was utterly shocked by the woman's appearance.

It was truly unexpected that a burly, towering man like Heskey, who looked like a block of wood, would have such a delicate younger sister. Moreover, Sun Fei soon discovered that the reason this girl named Jessica gave him a sense of déjà vu was because her clear, flawless eyes, like autumn water, were so similar to those of his fiancée Angela. If you closed your eyes, the aura you felt was almost as if they were the same person.

"Ah, Emile, you're back?" The girl, as lively as a butterfly, rushed over and took everyone's hands, giggling, "Hehehe, you even brought flour! Such a big bag! I can make you a whole house full of honey bread, so you big bull can eat your fill!"

"Who calls their brother a big bull?" Heskey muttered, placing the flour on a stone slab. Then, as if remembering something, he asked urgently, " Jessica, have those bastards, Aurnou and Knight, stopped bullying you?"
