It turned out that a person had been quietly standing in this heavily guarded command tent. This person was slightly short and stocky, with his hands behind his back. His long black hair, with the distinctive curly features of Ajax people, was draped over his head, and countless small golden hairbands formed delicate braids. He had a broad back and wore a bright yellow, exquisitely crafted, fitted robe. His aura was heavy, as deep and unfathomable as a mountain.
"Get up, don't blame yourself. In my opinion, you've done very well." The figure didn't turn around, but spoke, his tone gentle yet carrying an undeniable authority, as he spoke softly.
"But..." Upon hearing Fairenton's face showed even greater shame. He said with remorse, "Not only did I fail to conquer Twin Flag City, but I also caused serious obstacles and losses to the army, and a large amount of grain was burned. I cannot escape blame."
"Conquer Twin Flag City?" The figure chuckled and slowly said, "How difficult it is! You Chambord City. Even if I personally led the troops, conquering Twin Flag City would come at a huge cost. The construction of Twin Flags City consumed countless hours of Yassin's mind. Heh heh, what kind of person was Yassin back then? Heh heh, ' Yassin's life was second to none,' do you think those eight words were just for show? He painstakingly built a Twin Flag City city; how could it be so easily conquered? I sent you here not to wait for you to achieve great feats, but to let you understand some things you don't yet understand... Besides, who could have imagined that a peerless genius like Alexander would emerge among the Zenit people? Yassin's vision and magnanimity are still as admirable as ever. He also values this young fellow very much."
At this point, the figure who had been keeping his back turned paused, changed the subject, and nodded, saying, "Yes, I've read the report you submitted to the Military Department. Very good. Having such thoughts shows you're starting to understand some things. Not bad, you did the right thing. This King of Chambord has a somewhat special background, so maintaining a certain level of friendship with Alexander is commendable. However, that's not enough. You need to understand more. Perhaps one day, he can be used by me and become an asset to you!"
"Yes, I understand." The respect he showed towards this person far surpassed even his respect for his master, Fairenton [ Snow Mountain Hermit ]. He slowly rose, thought for a moment, and then said, "However, our army's supplies have been continuously..."
The figure slowly turned around, waved his hand, and said, "I already know about this matter, so don't worry. I came here tonight specifically for this. I've already ordered Davis to personally escort the military rations, which will arrive tomorrow. That should be enough to help you get through this period."
"It's wonderful that General Davis has come in person!" Fairenton was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Davis was one of Ajax's most formidable generals, and one of the few remaining figures from the previous Ajax dynasty. He once single-handedly held off the Zenit Emperor Yassin for ten days outside Amsterdam. If it weren't for the corruption and incompetence of the Ajax Empire's high-ranking nobles who later stripped this hot-tempered general of his military power, Emperor Yassin probably wouldn't have been able to conquer the Ajax capital so easily twenty-six years ago.
"The walls of Twin Flag City are indeed as sturdy as I predicted, actually withstanding the [ Snow Mountain Hermit's ] furious attack. The earthen-yellow flames and magical runes contained a mysterious aura; it's truly astonishing!"
On a tall sand dune five miles away from Twin Flag City, Sun Fei seemed to be deep in thought.
He didn't actually return to the city; instead, he went the other way and silently arrived at the outskirts of Ajax's camp.
Despite his explosive growth in strength after advancing to the Moon Class, Sun Fei is still some distance from the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] in terms of true power. If the fight continues, he will definitely be suppressed by his opponent. Sun Fei came here tonight not to kill the culprit who caused Angela and Elena to fall into a coma, but to find a worthy opponent to fight and integrate the new power after advancing to the Moon Class, so as to unleash his strongest combat power.
Of course, one of the purposes was to unleash a flurry of punches to beat up the [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] before he could react, humiliate his morale, and vent his anger.
After three moves, all objectives have been achieved.
This trip was incredibly successful.
Sun Fei paused on the sand dune, then resolutely turned around and sprinted towards the [ Ancient Castle of Death ].
The entire army of over 30,000 [ Wolf Fang Legion ] and their supplies were sent into [ Ancient Castle of Death ]. Although the Magic Princess and [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] Reyes were there to oversee things, Sun Fei still had to personally inspect the castle to prevent any problems from arising. After all, the castle had been abandoned for over a hundred years, and its current situation was still unclear, perhaps even hiding some terrible secrets.
Sun Fei, with his Moon Class strength, was incredibly fast. He was like a white lightning bolt, speeding across the sky and earth. In the blink of an eye, the [ Ancient Castle of Death ] under the moonlight was already in sight, resembling a terrifying behemoth under the moonlight, ferocious yet silent.
Throughout his journey, Sun Fei was constantly sensing the changes in his power after advancing to the Moon Class.
Having received targeted training and cultivation from Zenit Martial Saint Krasich, laying a solid foundation, Sun Fei's mastery of power had long since reached a level of subtlety. After advancing to the Moon rank, he not only did not experience the feeling of power imbalance and difficulty in control that ordinary star-level martial artists felt when they first entered the Moon rank, but instead quickly entered a stage where he could do whatever he wanted.
At this moment, Sun Fei unfurled a pair of enormous silver-white wings that stretched over twenty meters long, surveying the sky like a noble heavenly king. His speed varied, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as he pleased. If one looked closely, one would discover that these two enormous wings were actually formed from pure power, lifelike, with each feather radiating a silver-white light, noble and magnificent, awe-inspiring and inviolable.
This is also one of the minor supernatural abilities of Moon Class powerhouses.
After advancing to the ranks of Moon Class powerhouses, martial artists gain more flexible control over their power. Condensing wings is one such ability, but they can also condense weapons, armor, battle suits, and even legendary super powerhouses who have reached the Full Moon Class. With their profound Dou Qi, they can condense giant cities, palaces, and clones, the power of which is simply indescribable, and the mysteries of which are beyond comprehension.
Spreading his silver wings, Sun Fei felt the exhilaration of soaring through the sky—a feeling he had never experienced before, free and unrestrained. Soon, he flew into the red quicksand region filled with [ Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant ].
His King looked down at the blood-red quicksand river below, which resembled crimson blood. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his Spiritual Power seeped into the quicksand below like mercury.
The next instant, a horrifying scene flashed back into my mind.
Hundreds of millions of [ Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant ] swam through the quicksand like an endless ocean. Their terrifying numbers made Sun Fei's heart tremble. If such a [ Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant ] swarm were too numerous, as the saying goes, "Many ants can kill an elephant." If they could emerge from the quicksand and attack humans, I'm afraid no army could stop this terrifying species that can devour gold and silver.
"Fortunately, this terrifying species isn't a magical beast, nor does it possess the intelligence of one, and it never leaves the Banbu Flowing Sands River. Otherwise, it would have been a terrible disaster for both the Ajax Empire and the Zenit Empire... Hmm? This is... danger. What is this?"
Sun Fei suddenly sensed something, and his expression changed drastically.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Fei flapped his wings and soared into the sky.
A hundred meters below, deep within the blood-red quicksand, a violent and malevolent ocean of Spiritual Power suddenly erupted. As if provoked, it launched a fierce counterattack, reflecting Sun Fei's Spiritual Power back and causing him to suffer Spiritual Power. In an instant, Sun Fei's face turned pale, and he almost fell headlong into the blood-red quicksand river.
"This is... such terrifying Spiritual Power! Could there be some secret hidden deep within this Crimson Flowing Sand River?"
The shock in Sun Fei's heart was beyond words.
He had never seen such a powerful Spiritual Power before. Even the Spiritual Power of renowned super-strong individuals like the red-robed man [ Snow Mountain Hermit ] was no match for Sun Fei. These powerful individuals did not seem to attach much importance to the cultivation of Spiritual Power. In contrast, the Spiritual Power tempering and forging techniques on [ Purple Skill Of ] had become His King's unique trump card and secret technique.
Today, he unexpectedly encountered an existence far surpassing himself. The brief contact just now felt to Sun Fei like an irresistible giant wave crashing in his face, while he felt as insignificant as a grain of sand. Fortunately, he quickly withdrew his Spiritual Power, otherwise he would have been seriously injured.
In that brief moment of contact, Sun Fei discovered that his Spiritual Power had regressed by at least 10 units.
That entity below can actually devour the Spiritual Power of others?
With a thought, Sun Fei flapped his wings, increasing his speed and instantly passing over the blood-red quicksand without using his Spiritual Power to probe the situation below.
"Who goes there? Halt!" Several loud shouts echoed from the top of the Ancient Castle of Death. In the moonlight, clusters of cold swords and spears could be seen gleaming. The leader was extremely handsome, though his expression was slightly impetuous. He wore an incomparably magnificent silver armor. Who else could it be but [ Silver-Armored Berserker ] Reyes?
"Don't panic, it's me." Sun Fei retracted his silver wings and transformed into a streak of light, crashing down onto the city wall.
