The intelligence documents from the [ Letters and Visits Office ] also mentioned some other things.
For example, the elderly powerhouses who were rescued by Sun Fei from the [ God and Demon Palace ] that day, after being received by their families, were still ambushed by a mysterious force on their way back. Two of the six perished in the battle, and their families were almost completely destroyed. The other four, however, returned safely to their respective families without any major incidents, but they also suffered heavy losses.
Sun Fei could only sigh slightly at these matters.
The saying goes, "A common man Wuzui, but possessing a treasure is a crime." The rare treasures obtained from the core small world of the God and Demon Palace are enough to cultivate more than a Moon Class- 10 experts, and can even help experts who have surpassed the Great Perfection level to break through to the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position. Once the news spread, it naturally aroused the envy of countless people. This world is so cold and ruthless. If you don't have the power to resist, you should be prepared to be eaten by others.
It also gave a general overview of the recent activities of more than a dozen other empires within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles of the Zenit Empire.
With the Zenit Empire's resurgence, its annihilation of its arch-rival Spartak, and its siege of Eindhoven, several surrounding empires felt a significant threat. In particular, the Lyon Empire, which had a past rift with the Zenit Empire, felt its dominant position challenged once again and began to stir. It united with many surrounding empires to prepare for a second crackdown on the northern Grizzly, Zenit.
Meanwhile, a sensational rumor has recently surfaced—
Domenech, the supreme magic master hailed as the pinnacle of the Lyon Empire and the Royal Archmage of the Lyon Empire, suddenly disappeared a month ago, his whereabouts unknown. Some speculate that this highest authority in the magical realm within a million-mile radius may have been killed by other powerful figures, because the magic tower built for him by the Lyon Empire suddenly lost its Magic Power support half a month ago and inexplicably collapsed—a sign of the tower's owner's death. Of course, others speculate that Domenech betrayed the Lyon Empire for some mysterious reason, chose to flee, and is now being hunted down by the Lyon Empire's experts...
Sun Fei was satisfied with the efficiency and accuracy of the information gathered by the Letters and Visits Office.
After a year of development, Zola and Modrić, the old man and the young man who were rescued from the mines of Kingdom of Black Rock, have fully demonstrated their talent and ability in this field. The trials they faced in the dark and sunless mines, constantly walking with death, and the struggles they made to survive, have become their capital to dominate the underground world, forging their adaptability and tenacious willpower.
In just one year, the two mysterious names, "[ Old Man ]" and "[Boy]", have become renowned names in the underground world within a radius of over 100,000 miles, standing shoulder to shoulder with many mysterious old organizations and representing emerging forces.
Of course, this is also related to Sun Fei's unwavering support.
The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Sun Fei's memories from his past life told him that to survive in a cruel world, a well-connected information system was the bare minimum. In order to weave this invisible information network, Sun Fei had spent at least several million gold coins in the past year. This terrifying amount was enough to arm two fully-equipped main battle legions at the same time.
If it weren't for the existence of the Horadric Cube, a god-tier crafting artifact that can provide King Majesty the King with a continuous supply of magic stones, the Zenit Empire would likely struggle to sustain this level of consumption!
As for the support from strong individuals, Sun Fei devoted countless efforts to it.
Kasha, the highly skilled and enigmatic female mercenary leader of the [Rogue Encampment], is almost constantly on the move, handling various issues. She has earned the fearsome title of "Bloody Yellow Cloak" in the underworld, becoming one of the most terrifying and mysterious figures there. The forty or fifty exceptionally skilled martial artists from Mount Krasich, whom Sun Fei obtained from Zenit, were later incorporated into the [Petition Office], traveling throughout the region and becoming its core strength.
The [ Letters and Visits Office ] now acts like Sun Fei's third eye, helping His King to monitor the actions of any force within a radius of 100,000 miles on the continent. Through the NPC Kashya's ability to appear before Sun Fei at any time, the office can always deliver the latest news to Sun Fei's ears immediately.
Although he didn't know if the Zenit Empire's royal family had a similar intelligence system, Sun Fei was absolutely certain that the [ Letters and Visits Office ] already possessed the strength to rival any underworld force within a million miles.
This is the most solid, invisible line of defense for Chambord City.
After silently reviewing all the intelligence documents, Sun Fei pondered for a moment and wrote a brief reply to both the " Old Man " and the "young man," outlining several key areas that would serve as the focus of the "Letters and Visits Office's " oversight for the coming period.
The taciturn Kashya took the letter without saying much, then turned and walked into the Teleport.
"Oh, by the way, can you attend my wedding with Elena in thirteen days?" Sun Fei suddenly asked, raising his hand to send out a large, bright red and gold invitation. A red streak of light flew towards Kashya. This magical invitation was the magical credential that would allow him to enter the wedding venue smoothly.
"If nothing else comes up by then, maybe."
Kashya stretched out two fingers, easily catching the magical invitation. Without turning her head, she said calmly, then disappeared into the [ God King Hall ] along with the Teleport.
Sun Fei shook his head and smiled.
Compared to the others in the [ Rogue Encampment ], Kashya, as the female Rogue leader and the strongest NPC in the camp, was undoubtedly much more taciturn. However, this was due to her innate personality and was not a sign of disrespect for His King. On the contrary, she was a very loyal and reliable strong person.
Moreover, Valkyrie Elena can be said to be one of Kashya's most prized disciples. Kashya watched her grow up from childhood and taught her the extraordinary archery skills of the [ Flower of the Rogue ]. The relationship between Kashya and these young Rogesses can be described as that of a mother and daughter.
Although Kashya's answer was ambiguous, Sun Fei knew that the strongest person in the [ Rogue Encampment ] would definitely appear at that time.
There's no reason for a mother not to be present when her daughter gets married.
After seeing Kashya off, Sun Fei returned to the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] and began a new period of reflection.
The information provided by the Letters and Visits Office indirectly highlighted a strange event, which greatly surprised Sun Fei.
Half a month ago, Emperor Yassin wreaked havoc in the core world of the [ God and Demon Palace ], stunningly defeating Domenech, a supreme magic Great Sun-Rank Venerable. More than a dozen powerful figures witnessed this scene, including Zenit's enemy, Emperor Ajax. Logically, such earth-shattering news should have already spread within a million miles, but for some reason, it seems as if that battle never happened at all, with no news emerging whatsoever!
Now, more than half a month has passed, and Emperor Yassin still appears to be the same old, aging, and seemingly dying powerhouse. No one knows the truth!
Moreover, news of another protagonist in the war, the white-robed, blue-eyed mage Domenech, who had appeared in the God and Demon Palace and Demons and suffered a crushing defeat, being hunted down by Emperor Yassin, was never reported. Instead, he mysteriously disappeared, a fact that puzzled Sun Fei greatly.
It seemed as if an invisible giant hand had erased the news of this battle, which was enough to have a significant impact on the situation of major empires within a million miles.
The Storm Riders is shrouded in mystery and intricately complex.
Sun Fei could already sense the strong atmosphere of conspiracy and war.
An unprecedented war between empires may be about to begin.
This is why, before this, the King did not hesitate to resign his honor as the first commander of the Ajax war zone and return to Chambord City — Sun Fei was trying to extricate Chambord City from the impending chaos of the imperial war, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Although he knew that when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken, and that the fate of Chambord City was closely linked to the fate of the Zenit Empire to some extent, it was at least much better than being used as cannon fodder by some people from the very beginning.
Sun Fei himself, however, was destined to be unable to extricate himself from this chaotic imperial war.
Ever since that ethereal figure atop Martial Saint Mountain in Saint Petersburg vanished into the morning light, turning into countless ashes scattered across the land of Zenit, Sun Fei vowed to protect this land. From that moment on, a path paved with blood, bones, and thorns lay before Sun Fei.
For example, right now, Sun Fei has to go to Twin Flag City.
Sun Fei could not stand idly by while his comrades-in-arms, who had fought side by side with him, were suffering shameful persecution in Twin Flag City.
After Summon Torres to the [ God King Hall ] and explaining some things, Sun Fei introduced the [ Throne of Chaotic Times ] into his body. With a flap of his Silver Sword Wings, he streaked across the sky like a shooting star and rushed towards Twin Flag City overnight.
