"Yes... Your Highness, the newly arrived grain supplies... were ambushed by Zenit troops fifty miles from the main camp. Dean, who was escorting the grain supplies, was killed in battle, and more than a hundred cartloads of grain supplies were burned by the Zenit people, with seventy or eighty percent destroyed..." The scout, covered in wounds, said tremblingly.
"What? How is this possible?" Fairenton struck dumb, his face changing drastically.
The army's provisions had already been burned once by King of Chambord Alexander's men, leaving the camp with only enough to last a day. This time, the supplies that arrived were meant to be life-saving, yet they were also seized and burned by the Zenit? How could this be? The supply routes were highly secretive; only a select few knew where the army would pass. How did the Zenit know the route and manage to ambush them in advance?
"It's over, it must be Alexander, it must be his design..." Fairenton as if he were in an ice cave, his heart turned cold. Without enough food and supplies, his 70,000-strong army would only be left to die in this desert unless a miracle occurred.
At this moment, several more scouts suddenly rushed over from afar, even more anxious and faster than the previous ones. They flew to the commander's tent, almost kneeling down and weeping, "Your Highness, the 12,000 elite Earth Tiger cavalrymen who went to [ Ancient Castle of Death ] were ambushed by the Zenit and suffered a crushing defeat. General Kelundo was killed in battle, and more than 7,000 elite Earth Tiger knights perished... Erdos fought desperately to escape and is leading his troops back!"
"Ah..." Fairenton Shout fainted.
"Damn it, why is this happening? Why am I still more than 500 meters short? I still can't dive to the lowest point... The water pressure here is just too much."
In the boundless waters beneath Twin Flag City.
Sun Fei gazed at the mysterious underwater complex, so close yet so far, yet seemingly unreachable. The closer he got to the bottom, the greater the water pressure became, defying the physical laws of ordinary water bodies. It was as if a mysterious force was suppressing everything here, constantly repelling any outside influence. He Summon several top-tier magical artifacts, including [ Bul-Kathos' Soul Cage Deeply Protects], [ Sun Fei's Helm of Courage ], and [ Laying of Hands ], but could only barely dive to a distance of 500 meters into the underwater structures, unable to descend even a centimeter further.
At this moment, Sun Fei was able to clearly 'see' the mermaid-like creatures frantically swimming about three hundred meters underwater using his Spiritual Power. There were countless of these creatures, and each one possessed a terrifyingly powerful force surging within its body—a powerful water-based magical fluctuation that could easily shatter an Eight-Star Class martial arts master. They seemed to be imprisoned in a specific water layer by some mysterious force, unable to leave the three hundred-meter distance of the layered underwater structures. Otherwise, if these creatures swarmed him, Sun Fei would likely perish here.
The underwater structures could also be perceived by Sun Fei's Spiritual Power.
To His King's delight, the style and features of these buildings were almost identical to those of the [ God and Demon Altar of Gods and Demons] shown in [ The Demon King's Wisdom ]. Sun Fei was certain that the [ God and Demon Altar ] was definitely located within this complex.
"It seems my strength is still insufficient. I need to frantically improve it. I'm afraid I'll have to complete all the quests in the [ Nightmare Difficulty ] Diablo World map [ Rogue Encampment ] before I can hope to completely infiltrate this building."
Sun Fei tried many times, but all to no avail. In the end, he had no choice but to return once again, preparing to go back to Twin Flag City to kill monsters, level up, and improve his strength.
Just as Sun Fei had ascended nearly 1,500 meters, a sudden change occurred. A vast and powerful wave of Dou Qi emanated from the distant waters, silently scanning towards them, as boundless and imposing as the ocean.
"What? There are other people here?" Sun Fei was taken aback.
He instantly recalled some Spiritual Power usage techniques from the [ Purple Skill Of ], and instantly withdrew all his Spiritual Power to envelop himself, drifting along like water without moving, easily deceiving the extremely powerful Dou Qi fluctuations and remaining undetected.
Sun Fei waited until the opponent's Dou Qi fluctuations disappeared before continuing to ascend.
"This fluctuation of Dou Qi feels familiar. Yes, it should be the aura of that red-robed man who appeared in Ajax's camp today. Could it be that he also knows the secret beneath these waters? This is terrible; what if he gets there first..."
Sun Fei realized that things were developing in an unpredictable and unfavorable direction.
Having dodged the wave of Dou Qi fluctuations, just as he was about to rise to the top of the water, another powerful wave of energy suddenly swept over from the distant waters. Like the Dou Qi fluctuations of the red-robed man before, it seemed to be searching for something, spreading out like an invisible giant.
Sun Fei's expression changed again. He once again used his Spiritual Power techniques to wrap himself up, easily avoiding the scan of this power fluctuation.
Spiritual Power is indeed a good thing. Although the strength of the people who launched the Dou Qi fluctuation scans these two times far exceeded that of Sun Fei, they were completely unable to detect Sun Fei's existence.
Sun Fei's expression was not good after returning to the surface from the well.
Besides the two previous powerful Dou Qi scans, in less than ten minutes, Sun Fei detected five or six powerful waves of different auras underwater, including Dou Qi aura and magical elemental fluctuations. This indicated that at least seven or eight incredibly powerful individuals at the Moon Class or above were closely monitoring this area, seemingly searching for something or perhaps guarding against something.
Relying on the mysterious power of his Spiritual Power, Sun Fei was not only able to detect the arrival of these power fluctuations in advance, but also to avoid the scans effortlessly with his Spiritual Power shield. He could even clearly sense that these seven or eight Spiritual Power fluctuations were very familiar with each other. Sometimes, the two forces would separate as soon as they made contact, and they did not engage in a life-or-death struggle as Sun Fei had imagined.
There seems to be a tacit agreement between them.
Why did this happen?
Sun Fei frowned. These six or seven powerful energy fluctuations represented six or seven exceptionally strong individuals. Apart from the man in red robes and the mysterious expert in Twin Flag City, there were others whom he had not yet discovered. Sun Fei was certain that these powerful individuals were hiding in or near Twin Flag City, seemingly waiting for a crucial moment to arrive.
"It seems... something important is about to happen, and it must be related to the complex within the boundless waters beneath the earth."
These people were all incredibly powerful. Sun Fei could sense that each of them possessed strength comparable to the red-robed man and the mysterious magician, none of whom he could currently handle. Improving his own strength remained Sun Fei's most pressing need.
Sun Fei Sun Fei made up his mind to continue upgrading [ Barbarian Mode ]. After completing Diablo [ Normal Difficulty Version ], the expected promotion to the Moon Class did not happen. It seemed that something was still missing.
After leaving the well area, they went to the city lord's mansion to visit Angela and Elena, who were still unconscious.
Watching the two stunningly beautiful women lying on the bed, breathing peacefully, Sun Fei felt a mix of emotions, a surge of sweetness, sorrow, and anger.
"Once we resolve the matter of Cleansing [ Worldstone ] and rescue my two beloved ladies, I'll make that red-robed man pay a hundredfold price." Thinking of that ruthless red-robed man with the giant hand, Sun Fei wanted to grind his teeth to dust. Since transmigrating to the Azeroth Continent, His Majesty the King had always taken advantage without suffering any loss; no one had ever made him pay such a heavy price. Although he hadn't shown his anger outwardly, deep within his heart, Sun Fei's roar was like magma boiling and churning wildly, just waiting for the right moment to erupt completely.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Sun Fei walked unhurriedly towards the west gate's watchtower, with his personal guard Fernando Torres, quietly following behind him.
At this moment, the sky was slightly darkening, and the red sun was setting in the west, about to disappear into the vast desert to the west.
After the day's fighting, the city was somewhat quiet. Fortunately, the residents of Twin Flag City seemed to have gradually gotten used to such tense days. People came and went on the streets, talking loudly to each other. The residents' lives were not greatly affected. Many of the residents did not know about the fierce battle that had taken place outside the city. They only knew that the army, under the command of Colonel Alexander, had won another great victory and thwarted the Ajax attack.
Second update.
