Inler was a natural swimmer, but no one would have imagined that his skill was to an unbelievable degree.
Because he actually managed to descend to a depth that even Sun Fei had never reached, despite having less than Four-Star Class of strength.
The endless water pressure was weakened to the maximum extent on his body. During this process, enduring the immense water pressure that could crush a Seven-Star Class expert into mincemeat, Inler suddenly felt that his body was undergoing some very strange change, as if a door had suddenly opened, and then an unprecedented sense of agility and coordination appeared on his body.
At that moment, Inler felt as if he had transformed into a water-based magical beast, able to swim freely in the water.
Moreover, in this dark and deep water, Inler discovered that his field of vision had greatly increased, and he could see things hundreds of meters away.
Therefore, compared to Sun Fei using his Spiritual Power to discover the mermaid-like creatures and the layers of buildings underwater, Inler saw everything clearly and discovered something incredible underwater.
After listening to Inler's explanation, Prince Fairenton remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in deep thought.
After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Back in the Great Snow Mountain, Master discovered that you possessed a strange, ancient, divine bloodline. Now it seems that this dormant bloodline was unintentionally activated by you, and it might even be some kind of water-based bloodline, which allowed you to survive in that endless depth. However, even so, you took too much risks this time. You had already reached your limit; why did you still dive down? If I hadn't found you in time, you would probably be a pile of minced meat by now."
"I... I want to find out for Your Highness what exactly is beneath the water." The burly man Inler, lowered his head in shame.
"We'll figure this out sooner or later, no need to rush. I'll be heartbroken if you die."
Fairenton gently patted Inler the shoulder. This companion who had grown up with him since childhood was practically like a brother. No, in the ruthless and oppressive royal family, this gruff-voiced man was even closer than a brother. He really didn't want anything to happen to Inler.
"I understand, Your Highness." Inler scratched the back of his head, sat up in bed, thought for a moment, and then suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "However, Your Highness, I suspect that the structures beneath the water are very likely an undeveloped God and Demon Ruins, perhaps even Six-Star Class God and Demon Ruins."
"I already guessed that." Fairenton nodded, a glint of fervor flashing deep in his eyes, and slowly said, "However, this matter is no small thing. Once it gets out, countless powerful figures will flock here, and even those super empires will get involved. I'm afraid even the imperial family won't be able to benefit from it, so it must be kept secret for now."
"Your Highness, rest assured, Inler dies, he will never tell anyone else about this except you." The burly man patted his chest, which was as Zongheng as armor.
Fairenton smiled, then shook his head and said, "I trust you completely, but I'm worried that someone else already knows about this!"
"Another person?" The burly man was a little confused.
"Since the wells in our camp are behaving strangely, the same must be happening in Twin Flag City. King of Chambord Alexander is a man of great stature; he must have already noticed something amiss. This matter is probably getting complicated." Fairenton shook his head, a look of worry on his face.
He was a genius martial artist of the empire from a young age, and was favored by a Moon Class expert who lived in seclusion in the Great Snow Mountain Martial Arts Holy Land, who took him as a disciple. Before he was twenty, he had become Eight-Star Class martial artist, and was definitely considered a true genius within a radius of ten thousand miles. However, this time when he came to the front line battlefield, he was defeated by Sun Fei one after another. Whether it was bravery or wisdom, he lost to his opponent. Most of the food and supplies of 70,000 troops were burned overnight... This King of Chambord was simply his nemesis, shattering Fairenton's pride to pieces.
He originally thought he would hate such a person to the point of madness and would do everything in his power to get rid of him as soon as possible.
However, Fairenton discovered a strange feeling about this more talented fellow, which made him unconsciously feel less resentful towards the King of Chambord.
Perhaps it was because the King of Chambord was not one of his brothers, and there was no competition for imperial power between them.
Who can be absolutely certain that two geniuses from opposing countries cannot become friends?
"But, is it really appropriate to do that?" Fairenton thought of a possibility, and his brows furrowed. He was extremely conflicted and found it difficult to make a decision.
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside, and a guard loudly announced that the scouts he had sent out had brought the latest news.
"Bring him in." Immediately putting aside the matter that had just occurred, Fairenton ordered his men to bring the scout into the command tent.
"Your Highness, at dawn, the Zenit [ Wolf Fang Legion ] camp dispatched over five thousand cavalrymen, taking a detour of more than sixty miles into the desert, heading towards the [ Ancient City of Death ]. We pursued them relentlessly, but were discovered near the [ Ancient Castle of Death ] and hunted down by their skilled warriors. Of the more than one hundred men, only one of my men survived to return with the news..." The scout, covered in blood and wounded in the back by an arrow, recounted in detail the ordeal of his group of over one hundred scouts.
puff!
After listening, Fairenton said nothing, but instead struck the scout in the back with his backhand.
Everyone was shocked.
bite!
The Wolf Fang- tooth arrow that had pierced the scout's body was forced out and fell to the ground. At the same instant, Fairenton's fingers drew afterimages in the air and touched the scout's body, sealing off his main Dou Qi channels and stopping the spurting blood.
It turned out they were treating the scout's injuries.
It was a false alarm.
"You've worked hard. Someone, quickly take this warrior away to receive treatment." His Highness took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands and loudly ordered.
"Thank you, Your Highness." The scout was extremely grateful.
As a prince Fairenton incredibly noble, yet he didn't hesitate to expend his own Dou Qi to heal his injuries. This unexpected act immediately filled the scout, who had been worried about being punished, with gratitude that was beyond words. No one knew that this lowly soldier secretly vowed in his heart that from now on, no matter what the situation, he would serve His Highness the Prince to the death.
Soon, supported by guards, the scout was escorted out of the commander's tent.
"Order all officers of company commander rank and above to come to the main tent as quickly as possible to receive orders."
"Yes, sir."
After thinking for Fairenton quickly walked to the map hanging on the side of the tent wall, stared at it silently for a while, looking at the distance between Twin Flag City and [ Ancient Castle of Death ], then at the Ajax army's encampment, and the location of several Shamo roads, and was suddenly startled.
"Could it be... that the Zenit actually intends to...? That's impossible! For thousands of years, apart from those lofty Moon Class powerhouses, no army has ever been able to enter the [ Ancient Castle of Death ]. The blood-red quicksand river that can devour everything and the existence of hundreds of millions of [ Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant ] are an insurmountable chasm... But why would the Zenit send troops there? Don't they know how terrifying the Ancient Castle of Death is?"
Fairenton and realized it was possible.
After all, the [ Ancient Castle of Death ] is basically located within the territory of the Ajax Empire, so it's understandable that the Zenit people were unaware of the implications.
Soon, a large group of generals lifted the curtain and entered.
" Erdos, you immediately lead six thousand Earth Tiger Knights to patrol the vicinity of [ Ancient Castle of Death ]. If you encounter any Zenit cavalry, make your own decisions based on the situation. If you can win the battle, then kill all five thousand Zenit cavalry."
With Fairenton quickly made a decision.
"Yes, sir." The general named Erdos accepted the order, turned around, and strode out of the tent.
" Kelundo, you will lead another six thousand Earth Tiger Knights. Half an hour after Erdos departs, set off for [ Ancient Castle of Death ]. If Erdos wins, your troops should not attack. If Erdos is ambushed by the Zenit or is unable to retaliate, you must immediately lead your troops out to join forces and annihilate all the Zenit cavalry near [ Ancient Castle of Death ]."
Another order was issued.
This was clearly an extremely clever countermeasure.
With two waves of 12,000 troops, if they were to encounter Zenit cavalry, which is nearly twice their size, they would be almost certain to win, unless they encountered a master like King of Chambord. After all, while masters of Dou Qi qi are important in battle, the Dou Qi of a single master is not inexhaustible. Even Nine-Star Class master of Dou Qi qi will be killed by ordinary soldiers once their Dou Qi is exhausted.
Even the most skilled martial artist is afraid of a kitchen knife.
"Yes, sir." Kelundo put on his black iron helmet, licked his lips excitedly, and walked out of the tent.
For Ajax soldiers, only battle can excite them; the fact that they have been holding their ground for the past two days has already drawn criticism from some generals.
"Pass on my order: immediately dispatch additional scouts towards the [ Wolf Fang Legion ] camp to monitor them closely. Report back immediately if the Zenit people make any unusual moves. All other generals, stay with me and hold the camp. If I'm not mistaken, the Zenit reinforcements will definitely attempt to storm the camp and enter the city today. Prepare according to the previous plan. Haha, as long as they storm the camp, we can wipe them out!"
With a command from Fairenton, everyone was filled with enthusiasm.
"Yes, sir!" the generals roared in response.
"Your Highness, if the King of Chambord makes a move, I'm afraid no one in our army will be his match. At that time..." someone whispered a reminder.
Fairenton smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, I've already found a way to deal with King of Chambord."
Second update.
