At the same time.
In the capital city, inside the residence of the [ Female Literary Sage ] eldest princess.
There were no lights; it was pitch black.
In the hazy hall, the dim light of the moon cast shadows on the bluestone floor. By the window, a noble woman, draped in a beige gauze dress, gazed at the moon. Upon hearing the words echoing in the sky, she seemed to have been struck Bash, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily.
"Your Highness, you..." Standing in the darkness, the young girl Ziyan, like a bewitching purple lotus in flames, sensed the princess's feelings and asked with concern.
"I'm fine." The princess turned her head gently, her face showing signs of exhaustion.
"Your Highness, you've lost so much weight lately. You look even weaker than when I first saw him a year ago, under the fragrant trees in the inn in Chambord City..." Ziyan, with her graceful figure and unparalleled beauty, emerged from the darkness with a hint of tenderness on her pretty yet spirited face. She gently supported the Princess and comforted her, "Actually, you don't need to blame yourself too much. His Highness the First Prince... he doesn't seem to be the same First Prince anymore. He seems to no longer listen to your advice."
"I can't understand it. What exactly happened to make my brother... push a genius like Alexander to the opposite side? There must be some secret we don't know about. Otherwise, my brother isn't the kind of mediocre person who would make such a mistake out of jealousy." The princess's deep blue eyes, as deep as the ocean, were filled with deep thought.
Ziyan remained silent.
The northwestern frontier of the empire.
Twin Flag City.
After quickly taking control of Twin Flag City, Frank Ribery climbed the watchtower of the East Gate and paced anxiously back and forth, occasionally gazing towards the capital through the vast darkness. This grassroots official of the empire, who had never been so worried even when facing Ajax's 70,000-strong army, spent two whole hours in a state of agonizing anticipation.
Behind him, Fernando Gago and other garrison commanders were equally anxious.
They were all waiting for someone.
On the enemy wall outside the city gate tower, a dozen bloody human heads were stuck in the iron spears erected there.
As the night wind blew, drops of crimson blood dripped down the rusty gun barrel onto the ground in front of the city gate. It was the former city lord Soroyev, and several other nobles who had been most active and troublesome lately.
After Sun Fei swiftly killed the Bloody Executioner Delixi and took away the Military Department envoy Mataisen, the city lord Soroyev and others were brutally tortured alive by the enraged soldiers. In recent days, soldiers had been dying one after another, and the tragic deaths of the nineteen personal guards had completely ignited the soldiers' anger. With an officer like Sun Fei backing them up, they naturally would not let Soroyev and the other culprits go unpunished.
After the venting, there is an undeniable worry.
No one knows what is happening at this very moment in the capital city, thousands of miles away.
What exactly did that man, who stormed off in anger, bring to the entire empire, and what is he currently experiencing?
Time flows by slowly, like water.
Just as Ribery was getting anxious and preparing to send the twentieth batch of his most elite scouts to the capital at all costs to gather information, a sharp whistling sound came from the dark night sky in the distance. Suddenly, a silver streak of light flashed by and arrived in the blink of an eye.
It was King of Chambord Alexander.
"My lord!" Ribery was overjoyed at the sight and rushed forward, surrounding Sun Fei near the city gate tower, eagerly saying, "Lord Alexander, you're finally back... Is the capital... alright?"
Seeing the anxious expressions on everyone's faces, Sun Fei felt relieved and smiled, "Don't worry, everything has been resolved. Everyone, just wait for the new military orders from the capital. We just need to reassure the troops and citizens in the city."
Hearing Sun Fei's Sun Fei and seeing that he was unharmed and extremely calm, Ribery, Gago, and the others were finally relieved. The group went down the city wall and returned to the garrison camp.
Along the way, Ribery gave Sun Fei a detailed report on the situation in the city.
Thanks to Sun Fei's deliberate intimidation and the fact that Delixi, Mataisen, and others were killed and taken away by Sun Fei, the [ Thunder God's Whip ] Legion lost its commander and its fighting power. It was completely suppressed by the garrison and temporarily retreated to a corner of the city. An hour ago, it handed over the murderers who killed the garrison soldiers and gave up resistance.
By this time, the original garrison had completely taken control of the entire Twin Flag City.
"My lord, if you would say the word, all 30,451 soldiers of Twin Flag City will obey your orders from this day forward. You are the supreme commander of the garrison."
"Yes, Lord Alexander, we will only listen to you."
In the main tent, the generals, with eyes full of fervent worship, expressed their allegiance to His Majesty the King. After the events of the past few days, Sun Fei's prestige within the army had reached an unbelievable peak of fervor, and his words carried even more weight than the decrees of the imperial family and the Military Department.
Sun Fei smiled slightly.
" Twin Flag City Twin Flag City to the Empire, and the garrison is also the Empire's garrison. I am doing this tonight not as a leader or superior, but simply as a friend. Therefore, there's no need to bring this up again. I believe the Imperial Family will soon appoint a new city lord and generals. Just wait patiently."
Seeing Sun Fei's resolute stance, the others felt only regret, but they couldn't insist any further.
What I just said was taboo, but as long as I made my determination clear, everyone understood. From now on, at the word of King of Chambord, at least 30,451 armored warriors will Charge for him without hesitation, risking their lives and shedding their blood to fight to the death!
After chatting for a while, everyone got up to take their leave and left the main tent.
Sun Fei did not elaborate on what happened in the capital, believing that all the rumors would soon spread. Because of tonight's events, Sun Fei's actions were high-profile, witnessed by millions of people in the capital. It was impossible to cover it up, and it would definitely spread throughout the entire continent, naturally reaching the ears of Ribery and others.
After a busy night, Sun Fei rested for a while in the main tent, and after honing his Spiritual Power, he entered the world of Diablo and level up.
His Majesty the King's arrogance stems from his unparalleled power.
Although he didn't fight Emperor Yassin today, Sun Fei could still feel the immense power within the Central Palace. He had to admit that his current strength was still no match for Emperor Yassin. The closer he got to that point, the clearer and more pressured this gap became.
Therefore, before the chaos erupts, Sun Fei must improve his strength as soon as possible. Only a powerful Great Sun-Rank Venerable can barely survive in this chaotic world.
Nightmare Difficulty Diablo World.
Act IV World Map [ Pandemonium Fortress ].
Plains of Despair.
With the final swing of the war hammer, the fallen angel Izual was slain by Sun Fei, and the first mission was completed.
Because it sped up the leveling and monster-killing process, this mission only took three hours. The Plains of Despair wasn't a very large map, so going back and forth didn't waste time. Using the [ Scroll of Town Portal ], they returned to the [ Pandemonium Fortress ], exchanged for equipment, and after replenishing their supplies, Sun Fei and Elena continued their pursuit of the next mission.
This task requires Sun Fei to kill a huge mid-level boss monster in the River of Hell, obtain the [ Hellforge Hammer ] from its body, and then use this hammer to smash Mephisto's Soul Stone obtained from the previous level's finale at an altar in the [ River of Flame ], in order to completely eliminate Mephisto.
Sun Fei did not complete this mission in the traditional way.
He neither destroyed Mephisto's Soulstone nor discarded the Hellforge Hammer.
As Sun Fei's understanding of the Diablo World deepened, he gradually realized that he had to abandon the rigid mindset and routines of his previous life's computer games. This Diablo World was more vivid and realistic. Many of the quest items in it could only be used once in his previous computer games and had no other use, but in this world, they were actually hidden treasures. If used properly, they could even bring more perfect rewards than completing game quests.
For example, in the Mephisto Soulstone in his hand, Sun Fei could even hear the roars and wails of the Hell king Mephisto within it. This Hell deity, who held a divine position, was stored and sealed inside. If he could control it, it would be equivalent to controlling a god.
Take this [ Hellforge Hammer ] for example. It can be forged from the lava of the River of Hell and the River of Flame. If it were given to the blacksmith Charsi, it would become a magical tool for forging high-level weapons. Keeping it would be far more worthwhile than using it up during a quest.
After completing these two tasks in one go, Sun Fei's [ Barbarian character] level finally reached 85.
Such strength is equivalent to the Moon Class Great Perfection Lower Tier Fifth Stage in the real world. In addition, with the absolute set enhancements of [ Immortal King's Soul Crusher ] and [ Bul-Kathos' Soul Cage ], Sun Fei is basically unmatched among Moon Class powerhouses below the Great Sun-Rank Venerable.
Of course, the exceptionally brilliant Emperor Yassin was an exception.
The next day, the sky was blue and the weather was fine.
At nine o'clock in the morning, scouts on horseback galloped from the depths of the Gobi Desert outside the city, accompanied by the newly appointed Military Department envoy of the Imperial Military Department.
When Ribery received his appointment as the second city lord of Twin Flag City from the amiable, even somewhat obsequious, Military Department envoy, he felt incredulous, as if in a dream. For the entire morning, he analyzed the potential for both good and bad fortune, but was too embarrassed to ask Sun Fei, who was 'resting'.
As dusk fell in the afternoon, when the most elite scouts sent out the previous night, after exhausting three horses, breathlessly recounted in detail everything they had learned about the horrific events that had occurred in the capital the previous night, all the mysteries were revealed, and Ribery finally understood everything.
Inside the military tent, for over an hour, the city lord of Twin Flag City, Ribery, and the garrison commander Fernando Gago, along with more than twenty others, went completely mad, making the poor soldier recount the shocking events that had occurred in the capital city over and over again, a hundred times.
Everyone felt it intuitively, and their hearts were filled with longing.
At the same time, the story that unfolded in the Zenit capital that night also spread like wildfire within a radius of 100,000 miles, causing a huge uproar.
Second update.
