After a brief, discreet inspection of the camp, the atmosphere in the city was tense, but the situation was better than expected.
Although this army did not experience any battles after being stationed at the Ancient Castle of Death, and the castle was protected by two natural barriers, the Crimson Flowing Sand River and the Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant, making it impossible for warriors below the Moon Class to enter without using secret passages, the city's security and patrols remained very tight and operated in an orderly manner according to the previous arrangements made by the strategist Arjen.
This [ Wolf Fang Legion ] was hastily assembled from warriors and experts from various vassal states, so Sun Fei didn't have high expectations for them. This situation already satisfied His Majesty the King.
After circling around, Sun Fei had an idea and quietly arrived at the stone hall in the center of the ancient castle.
This is the temporary command post of the army.
Some young nobles of the empire who had followed Sun Fei because of his influence, as well as members of the King of the various vassal states, were temporarily housed in various parts of the palace.
The headquarters of the two interim commanders, Reyes and Xindi, were also set up here.
Sun Fei stealthily flew past the side of the main hall, noticed something, and suddenly stopped at a window that faintly emitted an orange light. His gaze focused on the scene behind the window.
This is Magic Princess 'Xindi room.
Her long, silver hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders. The Magic Princess, having removed her armor and magic robes, wore a pure white nightgown. Gone was the cold, noble aura she possessed in battle; she resembled a cute and refreshing girl next door, exuding a clean and pure aura. Her round, jade-like shoulders were exposed outside the nightgown, and her bare, exquisitely white feet, like snow lotus blossoms, rested on the soft, snowflake-like white carpet as she sat quietly before the stone table.
This is a tranquil and beautiful scene.
The young girl's slender, jade-like hands casually supported her fair chin, her expression languid yet tinged with a faint melancholy, as if she had a heart full of unresolved worries, her brows furrowed in sorrow.
On the table in front of the Magic Princess lay a small scroll enveloped in a pale blue glow, emanating a faint, hidden magical aura.
This was a random Teleport scroll that Sun Fei gave her before he left last time.
The scroll was naturally a creation of the ' Nun and Old Man Laboratory '. In situations where they encountered a powerful enemy and could not hold out, they could rely on this scroll to Teleport randomly to a location ten kilometers away from the battlefield. Sun Fei was worried that Ajax experts would attack him after he entered the God and Demon Palace, so he left the scroll for both Xindi and Reyes.
The Magic Princess stared blankly at the scroll.
On her clean and delicate face, she sometimes smiled, sometimes frowned, sometimes felt unwilling, sometimes helpless; her expressions were ever-changing, her thoughts seemingly drifting to some unknown corner. In the end, all her expressions turned into a deep sense of melancholy.
This scene made Sun Fei feel like a kite tethered by an invisible thread, yearning yet disappointed, always finding it difficult to take the step he wanted to take.
" The Magic Princess must be a girl with a story. So young, yet possessing such formidable strength, she's definitely a genius among the Zenit Empire's affiliated forces. If she could receive guidance from a renowned master, her future achievements on the path of magic would be the envy of all."
After lingering for a short while, Sun Fei left.
Although King Majesty the King was not exactly a benevolent or morally upright person, the act of lingering and observing a girl's bedroom window would still evoke a sense of guilt, especially since the girl was his subordinate.
"Drink! Ha!"
On the training ground to the right of the central ancient hall, shouts and cries rang out, accompanied by a surge of powerful metal-type Dou Qi.
Sun Fei landed silently on the training ground.
Reyes, dressed in a luxurious white silk robe, was practicing his Dou Qi technique.
This handsome young man, who was extremely conscious of his appearance even when practicing martial arts, always dressed in gorgeous attire, gripped the [ Parting and Reunion Sword ] tightly in his hand. His black hair at his temples was soaked with sweat, with strands clinging tightly to his ears. Streams of sharp Sharp Metal Dou Qi, like light swords, surged around him, cleaving through the sky and leaving sword marks on the ancient bluestone.
Sun Fei nodded.
Arrogance always requires a certain amount of capital.
[ Silver-Armored Berserker ] has a wild and arrogant spirit, but this arrogance is based on his own strength. Many people see Reyes's madness, but they don't see how much sweat this madman has put in behind the scenes.
Reyes delivered a stunning performance during his duel with [ One Sword ] in the Zenit Empire Martial Combat Competition.
His swordsmanship, in particular, is an absolutely Legendary Class martial art. If his Dou Qi hadn't been so weak that it couldn't match the power of this swordsmanship and couldn't unleash the full potential of the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ], it would have been [ One Sword ] who fell on the stage instead of him.
After Reyes finally made up his mind to serve Sun Fei, Sun Fei taught him an Eight-Star Class Dou Qi manual.
Although it's only Eight-Star Class, it's still a very valuable reward compared to Reyes's Five-Star Class Dou Qi.
In just over ten days, through hard work and making the most of every minute, Reyes's Dou Qi finally broke through the peak of the Five-Star Class Peak and reached the Six-Star Class Mid Stage. His strength exploded, and streaks of sharp metal-type Dou Qi, alternating between gold and silver, tore through the sky and radiated outwards like swords that could cut hair with a single blow, with extraordinary power.
After observing for a while, Sun Fei had a thought. He pointed his finger, and a silver sword aura of about the Six-Star Class Mid Stage Peak transformed into a tangible Sharp Sword and shot towards Reyes.
call out!
Sword energy swept across the sky, accompanied by a sharp whistle.
"Who?"
Reyes was shocked. He instantly realized that someone had appeared beside him without his noticing. He became alert and shouted loudly. At the same time, he shot out a hundred sword lights from his [ Parting and Reunion Sword ] and thrust out the sword. The tip of One Sword sword struck the oncoming sword energy with the utmost precision.
bite!
A crisp sound, a shower of Mars.
Veins bulged on Reyes's arm as the sword-wielding arm bore the brunt of the impact. His feet didn't move, but he was slammed back a meter or two along the ground before regaining his balance.
Whoosh!
Reyes drew his sword.
The [ Joy Sword ] and [ Sorrow Sword ], stuck in the ground in the distance, trembled slightly, as if instantly infused with life. They transformed into two exceptionally nimble streams of light, traversing the air and weaving layers of swords, about to set up the [ Sorrows, Joys, Partings, and Reunions Sword Formation ].
But the next moment, he recognized the person who had come.
With two clangs, the twin swords disappeared into the large sword case beside him. Reyes ' face lit up with joy. "Ah, Your Majesty, you've returned..."
Swish!
Blue flames flickered in the air.
Magic Princess Xindi, already dressed in a black magic robe, arrived swiftly with a pair of elemental wings formed from water magic elements on her back. She carried an extremely powerful aura, floating in the air like an iceberg, causing layers of white frost to form on the ground and exuding a strong chill.
However, upon closer inspection, the icy aura subsided.
A hint of joy flashed across the Magic Princess's pretty and delicate face as she exclaimed in surprise, "Your Majesty, it's you!"
Reyes's loud shout just now was actually a notification to the others.
After all, a master who could silently cross the Crimson Flowing Sand River and the swarm of Berserk Gold-Devouring Ant was no ordinary person. Although Reyes was arrogant, he did not believe that he could fight against such a master alone, so he issued a warning immediately. Xindi was one of the top masters in the army, so she naturally arrived immediately.
Soon, other military experts from the ancient hall also arrived upon hearing the news.
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, everyone returned to the ancient temple with the legion commander and reported to him in detail everything that had happened in the Ancient Castle of Death over the past few days. Having been cooped up in the castle for so long, everyone felt like their bones were rusting and they all volunteered to fight, demanding to take the initiative and deliver a fatal blow to the Ajax people.
Sun Fei simply shook his head.
With the opening of the Gate of Gods and Demons, the appearance of figures such as Domenech, the Royal Magician of the Lyon Empire, Emperor Gronkamp of Eindhoven, and the mysterious and extremely powerful Emperor Yassin in the small world of the 36th difficulty level has brought about a huge change in the empire's war. No one knows in which direction the situation will develop next.
There's no point in rushing into battle now.
Sun Fei naturally wouldn't reveal these inside stories to everyone; he simply reassured these battle-hungry guys, telling them to be patient for now.
Having dealt with the matters within the army at Ancient Castle of Death, Sun Fei, though somewhat curious and worried about the strange behavior of the Magic Princess Xindi that he had inadvertently witnessed earlier, refrained from asking further questions. After making some arrangements, he left Ancient Castle of Death and returned to Twin Flag City.
This night is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Sun Fei returned to the main hall of the western gate of Twin Flag City, preparing to enter the world of Diablo and level up with Elena. Suddenly, a light blue Teleport opened before him with a soft buzzing sound.
Kashya, the muscular female Rogue mercenary leader, emerged from the Teleport.
A letter bearing an urgent red stamp was handed to Sun Fei.
Upon seeing the envelope, Sun Fei's expression changed.
Second update.
Thank you to every brother for your support.
