The final super boss, the great demon Baal, hides in the Worldstone Chamber Worldstone Keep.

However, his terrifying and arrogant laughter permeated the entire [ Worldstone Keep ].

Baal's laughter was filled with terrifying pressure and killing intent, as well as an intense, suffocating killing and brutal intent. Like invisible, terrifying waves of energy, it permeated all the space, constantly assaulting Sun Fei and Elena's eardrums and minds. Any expert with slightly lower strength would probably lose their mind and go mad just by hearing such laughter.

By the time the two had fought their way through the thorns and brambles to reach the [ Worldstone Chamber ], nearly four hours had passed.

Sun Fei did not finish off the final boss in one fell swoop, because there were still extremely important matters waiting for His King to attend to in the real world. He gathered the spoils piled on the ground and quickly exited the world of Diablo.

The vast desert, with a chilling wind howling.

After returning to the entrance of the secret passage outside the [ Ancient City of Death ], Sun Fei switched to [ Assassin Mode ], cleared away the magical traps he had previously set up around the entrance, and then began to wait patiently.

About an hour later.

The sky was beginning to brighten, and a faint white light was appearing on the distant horizon, like the pale white of a dead fish's belly, heralding the approach of a new day.

Suddenly, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves came from afar.

Then came a vast, dark mass of figures, their swords flashing with a chilling light, appearing like a surging torrent on the distant horizon.

This is a large cavalry unit.

"Has it finally arrived?" Sun Fei onto a sand dune and looked into the distance.

This cavalry force, numbering approximately five thousand, formed a circle protecting a group of wagons carrying large quantities of supplies in the center. They sped towards this direction, with several knights in white helmets and armor at the head, carrying several banners bearing two-headed white bears and ferocious wolf heads with bared teeth. The banners, like silent dragons, struggled wildly in the cold dawn wind, fluttering loudly.

Those were the banners of the Zenit Empire and the [ Wolf Fang Legion ].

Sun Fei felt relieved. It seemed that everything had gone smoothly without any unexpected incidents. He then let out a long, clear whistle that carried far back into the distance.

"Where is he!" someone shouted, and the cavalry brigade found its direction and Mercedes-Benz towards Sun Fei.

In less than five or six minutes, the line arrived.

"Your Majesty, Arjen greets Your Majesty."

Xindi greets the Legion Commander!

" Reyes greets the Legion Commander!"

Old Arjen, clad in light leather armor, Magic Princess Xindi, in a jet-black magic robe, Reyes [ Silver-Armored Berserker ], with his impressive white helmet and armor, were the first to dismount and salute Sun Fei. Their faces were filled with joy, and their tense expressions finally began to relax.

"My lords, there's no need for formalities. Time is of the essence, so let's get straight to the point. The secret passage is right behind me. Immediately arrange for a large army to escort the supplies into the city. Give the entire army a proclamation: under no circumstances should you step into that red quicksand river a hundred meters away. There are terrifying monsters inside..." Sun Fei had already switched to [ Barbarian Mode ], and with a backhand lift, the immense strength helped all three of them to their feet.

"Yes, sir. I will immediately organize the army to enter the city."

Knowing that time was of the essence, the strategist, Old Arjen, whose legs had largely regained their ability to walk, temporarily suppressed the many things he had prepared to say. After performing the grand ceremony of a subject paying homage to the King, he nodded to Sun Fei, immediately turned around, and began to organize the cavalry behind him to escort the hundreds of wagons loaded with the army's provisions and supplies into the secret passage in an orderly manner.

"My lord, we meet again." Magic Princess Xindi dusted off her robe and smiled slightly. In an instant, she bloomed like a bright flower, dispelling the darkness of dawn. Her beauty was incomparably captivating.

"Princess Xindi, you must be tired from your journey." Sun Fei smiled and nodded.

Sun Fei was surprised but also delighted that this powerful female mage had joined the Wolf Fang Legion. Mages in war could be far more lethal and decisive than warriors of the same rank, especially Xindi, a genius mage proficient in multiple magic systems. Sun Fei could sense that beneath the beautiful exterior of this proud, icy mage lay a wild and passionate heart.

"Hey, hey, hey, this isn't fair, Xindi! You've never smiled at me, the handsome and dashing one, the whole way here. Why are you all smiles like this the moment you see the Legion Commander? Could it be that you..." [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] Reyes winked and made a strange noise, deliberately teasing Xindi.

"I'll smile at you when you can defeat the Legion Commander in the arena."

"Huh?... Forget it then, how could I possibly catch up with a freak like Commander Alexander?"

Listening to the two bantering with such familiarity, Sun Fei smiled slightly. It seemed that these two highly individualistic experts from the vassal state had gotten along quite well over the past few days. This was a good sign; at least a united [ Wolf Fang Legion ] was more effective than a disorganized rabble. The harmony among the high-ranking officers also reflected, to some extent, that the strategist, Old Arjen, had done a good job of uniting the current [ Wolf Fang Legion ].

Just then, the faint sound of horses' hooves could be heard again on the distant horizon.

"It's Ajax scouts; they're coming after us." [ Silver-Armored Berserker ]'s expression changed, and he volunteered for battle. "My lord, let me wipe them out, lest the enemy discover our whereabouts too soon."

"Haha, alright! The three of us will attack together and see who kills the most enemies!" Sun Fei laughed heartily, and as he spoke, he transformed into a whirlwind and swept away.

"Alright, Wings of Magic, Levitation Spell, Acceleration Spell..."

Xindi shouted a few times, and magical elements surged forth. Two enormous blue wings appeared behind her, and she quickly cast several spells on herself. Like Battle Angel, she flapped her wings and flew away at an extremely fast speed.

"Haha, watch my... [ Sorrow and Joy Sword ], [ Parting and Reunion Sword ]! Go!!"

[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] twitched his shoulder, and two streaks of cold light shot out from the mysterious sword box on his back, carrying unparalleled killing intent. Like lightning, they struck first and covered a distance of more than 500 meters in an instant, cutting the four Ajax Earth Tiger Knights running at the forefront into four pieces.

This wave of Ajax Earth Tiger Riders numbered only about a hundred.

The Ajax had long noticed the Zenit [ Wolf Fang Legion ] providing support from the rear. After the Zenit army entered the vicinity of Twin Flag City, they had been keeping an eye on them. Today, the movements of the Dawn Cavalry had caught their attention. From the beginning, they had been closely following the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] cavalry at a distance of 500 meters, trying to figure out what the Zenit were up to.

They hadn't expected that the Zenit, who had been focused solely on their frantic advance, would suddenly launch an attack at this moment.

"The enemy is skilled! Run! Get out of here!"

"Split up and escape! Report the Zenit people's movements to His Highness Prince Fairenton, quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the scout leader immediately turned his horse around and galloped back the way he came. He shouted an order, and more than a hundred Earth Tiger Knights fled for their lives, without any intention of fighting.

This extremely swift reaction, while failing to save the scout leader's own life, successfully allowed the three scouts to escape Sun Fei and his companions' pursuit, disappearing into the vast desert in the distance. They escaped with a chance of survival, and the message was successfully sent out.

"Damn it! My lord, let me go after them!" [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] made a move to enter the desert and give chase.

"No need. The Ajax people will find out sooner or later that we've divided our forces here. We've bought enough time. It doesn't matter if they find out now. We have other things to do. Let's return to the ancient city immediately." Sun Fei shook his head and let the escaped soldiers go.

"Very well." Reyes stroked his chin and suddenly laughed, "Haha, this time I killed the most enemies, Lord Alexander, quickly issue the reward!"

Sun Fei sped off towards the [ Ancient City of Death ] without looking back, laughing loudly, "Did I just mention what the reward would be for killing the most enemies?"

Xindi smiled brightly.

Reyes: "..."

"Your Majesty, all the provisions and military supplies have been transported into the city as planned. Just as Your Majesty described in your letter, this ancient city is filled with a strange suction force, making all iron tools unusable. Fortunately, we have followed your orders and most of our soldiers have donned leather armor, minimizing the use of iron weapons and armor, which has prevented us from encountering too many difficulties."

At the entrance to the secret passage in the ancient city, the strategist Arjen saw Sun Fei return and immediately stepped forward to report in detail that everything had been completed according to plan.

"Good! Proceed to the next step immediately! Order that 2,000 of the 5,000 cavalry remain to immediately clear and reorganize the ancient city. Xindi and Reyes, you two also stay behind to oversee our second camp. There must be no loss." Sun Fei did not return to the ancient city, but directly issued the order, "The remaining 3,000 cavalry, along with the strategist, quickly return to the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] camp. The main force must make good use of this time difference to enter Twin Flag City."

"Yes, sir."

"My lord, I'll go with you!" Magic Princess Xindi suddenly stepped forward, requesting to accompany Sun Fei.

" Xindi, the ancient city needs some experts to guard it. You and Reyes stay here. If any Ajax experts attack, kill them for me." Sun Fei thought for a moment but still didn't agree. The ancient city did indeed need a few skilled experts to guard it.

"Okay." Xindi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] Reyes wore a sly smile, his gaze darting back and forth between Sun Fei and Xindi, stroking his chin with a mischievous grin.

After the two thousand troops had all retreated into the ancient castle, Sun Fei pushed the two massive doors, each weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, back together. Then he stirred up yellow sand to cover the doors, erasing all traces within a kilometer radius.

With everything prepared, three thousand cavalrymen assembled and awaited orders.

Sun Fei mounted the steed brought by the soldiers, and together with the strategist Arjen, they led three thousand cavalry towards the distant encampment of the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] army, methodically commencing the army's entry into the city.

This dawn will be the most crucial moment.
