Chapter 846: Returning to the Capital (Part One)
Drogba and Pierce were both Moon-Class Elites, and they followed Lampard and Military Advisor Old Aryang to the war in the southern region of Zenit and assisted Second Prince Dominguez. They had accumulated extensive battle experience, and they sharpened their mind and will on the battlefield. Although their strengths didn't skyrocket, their mentalities were elevated.
Right now, both of them were at the mid-tier Half Moon Realm, and only a few mysterious masters could rival them in St. Petersburg. Therefore, with their strengths, they could almost do anything they want. Taking care of these few warriors of the Anji Empire was like playing for these dull strongmen, and they didn't worry much about this.
After entering the courtyard, they met an ordinary-looking young man who seemed like a worker here. They each said the secret codes that corresponded, and that young man immediately turned respectful before leading them into the pavilion and down to the dark basement.
This basement was empty; there was nothing except for a portal which the destination of the teleportation was known. Right now, it was flashing and operating smoothly.
The two of them stepped into the portal, and a light flashed. When they opened their eyes again, they saw that they were inside an even more mysterious basement. The semi-god-tier runes were everywhere on the walls, blocking all possible auras in this space. It felt like this space was created inside the void, and it was secure; no one could find it.
"Hahaha! Two generals! Long time no see!" crisp laughter sounded as a blond young man with a silver half-mask stood up and greeted them.
"Mr. Modric!" Pierce and Drogba didn't dare to slight him.

Although Modric joined Chambord and served Fei later compared to these two strongmen, the king placed great importance on this young man whose nickname was [Young Man]. He could be counted as one of the core members of Chambord, and his status was even beyond Drogba and Pierce. Also, all the high-level officials of Chambord had witnessed the hard work that Modric had put into the [Letter Office] that fueled the Chambord Kingdom's rise, and these two strongmen respected this man who was younger than them from the bottom of their hearts.
It wasn't clear where exactly this mysterious room was. In this large room, except for [Young Man] Modric, Pierce, and Drogba, there were four powerful New Moon Elites of the [Letter Office] present. After the three top-tier officials of Chambord greeted each other, they waited for something patiently.
In the center of the mysterious room, there were some magic runes engraved on the ground, and it seemed like they were used for marking the locations.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A series of space-tearing noises sounded. As the magic array continued to flash, a sky-blue oval-shaped portal appeared on the magic array. The magic energy flames continued to expand and contract, and a tall figure whom everyone was waiting for appeared and walked out of the portal like a flash of lightning after it stabilized.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" The seven masters in this room all kneeled.
This man was in a white robe, and his black hair was as thick as the waterfall. He was tall, and his muscles gave off a wild presence even though they weren't bulging that much. As if this man were made from a piece of godly iron, he was glistening, and he was handsome. His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were shiny, and he looked dignified even though he wasn't displaying any emotions. He was none other than King Alexander who liked showing off.

After he was locked inside the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace] that was created by the golden skeleton for four days, Fei was worried that he might be late, so he contacted the [Letter Office] and traveled through more than 20 super-long-distance portable teleportation arrays and used a lot of magic crystals. However, he was able to come back to St. Petersburg in only one day; he arrived even earlier than D'Alessandro and the Moon-Class Elites who were eager to destroy the Chambord Kingdom.
"Get up." Fei lightly raised his hands, and a soft and gentle energy rushed out of his body and propped up these seven people.
Chapter 846: Returning to the Capital (Part Two)
Fei's return trip was a top secret. Except for a few high-level officials of Chambord and the high-ranking members of the [Letter Office] which were the seven people in the room right now, no one else knew that the King of Chambord who was rumored to have disappeared at the bottom of the sea had returned to the Zenit Empire.
The eight of them left the room. On the way, Modric told Fei everything that had happened in the Capital of Zenit these days, including the envoys from the various empires, and stances of the nobles in St. Petersburg, and the strange silence of the Royal Family.
Soon, they returned to the ground level.
It turned out that mysterious room was still in St. Petersburg, and it was only about 100 meters away from the courtyard that Drogba and Pierce entered. As long as someone got to a high position, they could see exactly what was happening in that small courtyard even if the observers didn't have warrior energy or magic energy; this was an intelligent setup.
The four Moon-Class Elites guarded the door, and Pierce, Drogba, and Modric followed Fei into the building. The two dull strongmen tried to beat each other and tell the king about what had happened tonight.
"The Anji Empire is only a level 2 empire. It didn't show anything before, but it conquered four adjacent level 1 empires quickly in less than one month when the Chaos Era arrived. It gained a lot of fame recently, and it was dominant, seeming to become a little overlord in the Northern Region of Azeroth.
Emperor Suleyman Kerimov of Anji is quite young, and he took the throne a year ago. His identity is mysterious, and he is wealthy and had recruited some independent warriors and masters. This emperor had been hostile toward Zenit. It is heard that his goal was to challenge Emperor Yassin. But since Your Majesty got more popular after you defeated the Ten-Empire United Troops, he has been targeting you and had said multiple times that he would crush your legend."

[Young Man] Modric quickly debriefed Fei on the information of the Anji Empire.
"No wonder these envoys of Anji are so arrogant. Their empire could be considered powerful… you two dull hammers; they are defecating on our heads, and you only beat a little cavalier?" Fei wasn't interested in the history of the Anji Empire, but he expressed his disapproval of the treatment that Drogba and Pierce gave to the enemies tonight.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. We will now go and kill those damn envoys of Anji." The king's words instigated the two dull strongmen, and they instantly blushed and stood up before walking out murderously.
"Don't kill them; I'm trying to see what game they are playing. Just play with them a little." Fei didn't stop them.
After those two strongmen left the room, they flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
Modric wiped his sweat and was about to say something when a series of buzzing noises sounded. A dash of dark-red light flashed into the room, and it turned into a dark-red hummingbird and chirped while landing in Modric's hand.
Hummingbirds were swift, fast, and cute. Such little demon beasts were extraordinarily speedy and had some ability to travel through space. Queen Angela used her innate ability and tamed a herd of hummingbirds, and they became one way of delivering information for the [Letter Office].
There was a delicate silver neck-ring hiding under the feather on its neck, and it was a spatial storage device. Modric injected some magic energy into the neck-ring according to a mystical rhythm, and a red letter flowed out of the ring.
He skimmed through the letter, and his face changed color. He quickly reported to Fei, "No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint, D'Alessandro, and his people have passed the [Sea of Fragrance] and entered the territory of Zenit. It seems like he is trying to show off and pressure the Royal Family; this group of people is moving forward slowly and didn't hide their identities. Also, they had said that if the Royal Family doesn't appear before the sunrise the day after tomorrow and make a decision, they were going to wipe out the entire Royal Family. About three hours ago, this group of people divided into two groups. One group is being led by a Sun-Class Lord named Albeda and have 25 people, heading toward the Chambord Kingdom. The other group of 20 Moon-Class Elites is coming toward St. Petersburg with D'Alessandro in the lead. According to their speed, they will arrive at their destinations before the sunrise on the day after tomorrow."
Chapter 847: Crisis Approaches (Part One)
"This sure fit D'Alessandro's personality. He is an egomaniac, and the people around him are not much better. Do they really naively think that a disciple of the Continental Martial Saint and more than 40 masters who are on and above the realm of Moon-Class can dominate the Zenit Empire? Do they really think that they could destroy the Royal Family of Zenit?"
Fei sneered after hearing what Modric said, "They divided into two groups? Hehe, we don't need to worry about the group led by D'Alessandro; there will be people who can handle them. In terms of the group led by Albeda, hehe… inform Mr. Brook and Mr. Bast, and tell them to send the masters of Chambord to ambush them! I want to see them lose half of their people before they reach the territory of Chambord! We will see who are fortunate enough to see our Chambord City!"
"As you wish!"
[Young Man] Modric instantly became high spirited. The confidence that the king demonstrated made him, a loyal subordinate, believe in the kingdom even more. Therefore, he immediately turned around and passed down the king's command.
Soon, several dark-red hummingbirds dashed into the sky. As they chirped, they jumped into the void like fish into the water, quickly disappearing as they traveled through space.
After Modric organized everything, he returned to the room, thought about some issues, and suggested, "Your Majesty, the group led by Albeda is nothing to be worried about, but the group led by D'Alessandro is the truly terrifying force. According to the information that we gathered, this No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint perhaps has reached peak Burning Sun Realm, and he said that he is invincible in the Northern Region of Azeroth. The Moon-Class Elites who came with him don't pose threats, but we have to be careful of this person."
Fei lowered his head and pondered for a while. Then, he said, "You are right, but don't underestimate the power of the Royal Family of Zenit. Don't change the setup of our forces in St. Petersburg, and order the members of the [Letter Office] to pay close attention to the group led by D'Alessandro. Report as soon as something seems off."
"As you wish." Modric knew that the king already made plans, so he calmed down and left the room.
"Wait for a second!" Fei suddenly called out and stopped him. The king reminded Modric, "Tell everyone to be more careful; we only need D'Alessandro's rough whereabouts. Tell them not to monitor too closely just in case that D'Alessandro spots them."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will send the best scouts to do this."
"Eh, sounds good. Still, safety first!"
"As you wish!"
Modric turned around and left the room.
Fei slowly sat back in his chair and tried to think of ways to handle what was about to occur.
He had seen D'Alessandro's strength at the bottom of the sea. Except for Evil God Kluivert and Continental Martial Saint Maradona's vague shadow, this No.2 Disciple of Continental Martial Saint Maradona was the most powerful warrior that Fei had ever encountered. Also, his strength was either at peak Burning Sun Realm or above, and Fei was no match for this person with his current power excluding the [Scepter of Creation].

However, D'Alessandro's arrival was an opportunity for Fei.
In this environment, the various forces inside the Zenit Empire would express their stances more clearly, and Fei would be able to see where people's minds were. Also, Fei never got a good grasp of Emperor Yassin's strength. Since D'Alessandro came to Zenit so aggressively, he and Emperor Yassin were going to collide forcefully. Perhaps Fei could get a good observation this time.
After thinking everything through, Fei put things aside and entered Diablo World to kill monsters and level up.
He had been locked inside the [Sad Sign of Godly Grace], and he had wasted a lot of time. Before the real challenge came, Fei had to increase his strength as fast as he could.
…
Chapter 847: Crisis Approaches (Part Two)
When Fei tried to break through the [Sad Sigh of Godly Grace], Fei spent a lot of experience points and summoned [Lord of Pain] Duriel. As a result, his strength dropped a little.
Right now, Fei appeared at the [Hellforge] which was where he had to go to complete the second quest on the Fourth Map.
The [Hellforge] was located deep into the [River of Flames], and it was heard that this was a part of hell. The lava was rumbling out of the ground and flowing on the land like a river, and the high heat made the lava as runny as water. Anyone below the realm of Six-Star would be instantly turned into a pile of coal.
Except for this river, some human souls were trapped on the ground by black demonic chains. The hellfire was burning these souls, and they could never escape. They let out a series of horrifying screams, and the scene was terrifying.

Fei appeared here alone.
Although this wasn't his first time coming to the [River of Flames], the realness in Normal Mode and Nightmare Mode couldn't be compared to Hell Mode. When Fei set foot in this dangerous place, he felt like he was inside the real hell.
Valkyrie Elena was the main force of Chambord in dealing with the group led by Albeda. While Undead Mage Hazel Bank and the few elders of the [Black-Cloth Shrine] stayed hidden, the Chambord Kingdom had to rely on her, so she didn't have time to company Fei in killing the monsters.
In the previous battles, Fei already obtained Mephisto's Soulstone, and his mission in coming here was to kill a terrifying demon who was deep into the [River of Flames]. Fei had to kill this demon to obtain the Hellforge Hammer which was the only thing that could crush Mephisto's Soulstone.
On the path formed by the solidified lava in the [River of Flame], there were a lot of monsters and demons, and they could unleash terrifying power. Facing the [Abyss Knights] that could use physical attacks and magic spells, the many [Blood Maggots], and the sturdy [Pit Lords], Fei didn't dare to be overconfident even though he was dominant. He summoned all the items in the [Immortal King] item set, and he marched forward.
After spending about two hours, Fei finally battled through these monsters and found the Boss that had the magical hammer. This demon looked like a muscular bull, and it was green. It had a lot of strength, and many monsters and demons followed it. It was hard to deal with, and Fei was only able to kill it after drinking 18 bottles of [Full Rejuvenation Potion].
A lot of experience points entered Fei's body as golden light dots, and the experience points that the king lost due to summoning Duriel were replenished. As a result, he went back to level 70 and regained his strength.
After taking out Mephisto's Soulstone which confined one of the three lords of hell who represented prime evil, Fei picked up the Hellforge Hammer before placing the soulstone on the unique altar. Just as Fei was about to smash down and destroy it, completely wiping out Mephisto, a surge of spirit energy suddenly dashed out of the soulstone and conveyed a message.
Fei was stunned for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.
After about ten minutes, Fei made the decision.

He didn't destroy Mephisto's Soulstone. Instead, he placed it back into his storage space.
Then, the king continued to kill monsters and demons in Diablo World and went onto the [Terror's End], the last quest on the Fourth Map.
He had to go into the [Chaos Sanctuary] which was at the bottom of hell. This place had the largest number of terrifying demons and monsters, and Diablo, one of the three lords of hell whose nickname was Big Pineapple, was being sealed here.
[TL Note: Diablo sounds really close to pineapple in Chinese, so that is why a lot of Chinese players call this Boss that name.]
Fei opened the five seals one after another, and a lot of monsters and demons appeared when each of the seals broke. Diablo would only appear after all the seals were broken and all the demons and monsters were killed.
After battling for six hours, Fei only opened four seals and killed the monsters and demons that came with them.
Now, Fei was at Hell Mode level 72.
After picking up the various items on the ground, Fei turned to the [Pandemonium Fortress] and sold them to the NPCs before exiting the game.

…
The sky was brightening up.
Some stars were still flashing in the pale-blue sky, and the land was gradually waking up from the darkness.
The territory of Chambord, a level 1 affiliated kingdom of Zenit, was less than 50 kilometers away. Suddenly, 25 various colored light beams dashed through the sky like meteors, and they headed toward Chambord with powerful auras on them.
They were the powerful masters who were going to wipe out the entire Chambord Kingdom under the lead of Sun-Class Lord Albeda.
Chapter 848: Ambush at Half-Way (Part One)
"We are almost at the territory of Chambord. I heard that the King of Chambord's wedding wasn't long ago, and many empires sent masters to cause trouble. In fact, it is heard that even the masters of the Holy Church joined in. In the end, they were smashed by the Chambordians. It seems like this Chambord Kingdom is not that simple; we better be careful." A grey-haired Moon-Class Elite who was about 50 years old reminded his peers worriedly.
"Haha! Silver-Haired Master! How can you believe such ridiculous rumors? It seems like the older you get, the more scared you are." Moon-Class Elite Oliveira who was muscular and looked like a mercenary laughed and disregarded all the concerns.
[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]
"Haha! Yeah! Rumors are saying that the Chambord City has more than ten powerful Moon-Class Elites known as the Gold Saints, and there are even Sun-Class Lord protecting the kingdom. Ridiculous… Just think about it! Even its parent empire, Zenit, doesn't have such strength! Chambord is only a level 1 affiliated kingdom who recently came to people's attention. How much power can it have? In my opinion, these dirty Chambordians are like chickens and dogs in front of us! We should be able to kill them easily." O'Henry who was about 30 years old was arrogant, but he was only at the New Moon Realm, and his realm seemed unstable.
"Yeah, guys, don't worry. Let's speed up the process. Our goal is to kill all the masters of Chambord and wipe out all officials of Chambord before Mr. D'Alessandro gets to St. Petersburg. We need to coordinate well and instantly establish dominance. We will let the people who are supporting this dirty Zenitian Alexander that this is the end for them!"
Zeman who was short and fat looked at Albeda, the only Sun-Class Lord in the group, with a flattering smile on his face. His eyes were small, and his head looked like a mouse's. He thought for a bit and added, "With Mr. Albeda with us, even if the gods are protecting the Chambordians, they are useless in front of Mr. Albeda's power. We have nothing to be worried about!"
It was clear that he was flattering Albeda.
Many others instantly agreed with Zeman immediately. Those Moon-Class Elites who hadn't gotten the chance to speak all showed their admiration for this Sun-Class Lord from the Anji Empire. These people liked following the people with power, and they lacked the dignity of Moon-Class Elites.
"We can't say these things," Albeda replied with an arrogant, superior expression, "I heard that the King of Chambord is extremely powerful, and he is already a Sun-Class Lord despite his young age. He is an extraordinary cultivation genius. Unfortunately, this person has joined the Sea Tribe and betrayed humanity. He is someone who deserves my attention, and I'm interested in battling him. However, we don't have his trace. Except for him, no one else could pique my interest."
"Haha! That is right! Mr. Albeda, you don't need to do anything! This is just a level 1 affiliated kingdom of a level 1 empire! We can handle everything!" Zeman followed Albeda tightly and flattered non-stop.
"Yeah! We can do all the work! It is rumored that Chambord City is rich. After we conquer this city, you and Mr. D'Alessandro can take all the treasures! We are already honored to serve you!" Someone else flattered.
"No need; you guys can divide what the Chambord Kingdom has. It is only a little affiliated kingdom; what kind of treasures could it have that could attract the interest of Mr. D'Alessandro and me?" Albeda replied in disdain. Although the Emperor of Anji reminded him several times to not underestimate the Chambordians, he was a Sun-Class Lord, and his pride completely disregarded this affiliated kingdom; he didn't think there would be anything that would excite him.
Chapter 848: Ambush at Half-Way (Part Two)
Zeman suddenly smiled wickedly and said, "It is also rumored that the two Queens of Chambord are unparalleled beauties. If we can capture these two majestic women, making them do chores during the day and sleeping with them during the night should be very fun and interesting."
Light flashed in Albeda's eyes, and he nodded and replied as if he had thought of something, "That idea is not bad. The Royal Palace of Anji does need two maids who could do tough chores. If the Queens of Chambord are really that beautiful, they are qualified to serve my lord in the Royal Palace."
Seeing Albeda accepting his suggestion, Zeman was elated.
A murderous and cold voice suddenly sounded in the sky without any signs, "How dare you offend my lord? You deserve to die!"
Before anyone could react, Moon-Class Elite Zeman's head exploded like a smashed watermelon. The red and white liquid splashed in all directions, and a powerful master was instantly turned into a fat corpse as it fell toward the ground.
At the same time, several Moon-Class Elites who were closest to Zeman snorted subconsciously as if a huge force also hammered them, and their face reddened immediately. The few Moon-Class Elites who were weaker were shocked, and they screamed in fear as streaks of blood slid down their lips. They quickly unleashed their full force and alertly looked around.
"Don't move!" The Sun-Class Lord Albeda who was in the center of the group shouted as his face changed color. Then, he waved his hand, and a streak of green lights flashed in front of him. At the same time, an invisible force collided onto the green light, and they both disappeared after a series of crisp noises.
"Who is sneak-attacking us? Show yourself instantly!"
Albeda instantly detected the source of that strange force, and he clawed his right hand and grasped toward one direction in space. A vast amount of energy rushed out of his body, and it tore the space in front of him. About 100 meters away, the space rippled like the surface of a lake that was caressed by the autumn wind. After the ripples disappeared, four figures showed themselves.
Standing in the front, this young man looked to be 13 or 14 years old. He was handsome and looked vigorous. He was wearing a long black robe, and his hands were hidden in his sleeve. Although no energy surges could be sensed from him, and he looked like an ordinary person, his eyes were tightly shut, giving others a strange feeling. Right now, he looked a little angry, and it was clear that the terrifying and strange sneak-attack that seemed like the call of the Grim Reaper came from him.
Behind this young man, there stood a breathtakingly beautiful woman. She had long red hair, and she was wearing silver light armor. Even when Albeda laid eyes on her, he shivered subconsciously and sensed extreme danger.
Beside this red-haired woman was a handsome young priest with strong holy power on him. He had brown hair, and he was in a black church-style robe. Then, there was a handsome and thin young man behind him. He had long black hair, he looked like an elf, but a suffocating pressure came with him.
These four people stood in the sky and sneered, stopping these foreign masters like four tigers in front of a herd of sheep.
"Who are you? Why did you sneak-attack us?" Albeda asked angrily.
Chapter 849: Gold Saint of Aries' First Real Battle (Part One)
"We are here to kill you!"
The black-robed young man who had his eyes tightly shut was filled with a murderous spirit, and he looked like a sharp sword. There was no warrior energy or magic energy fluctuations on him, but he was able to stand in the air. This was beyond the understanding and imagination of everyone in the area since it seemed boundary-breaking.
As soon as this young man finished speaking, no warrior energy was unleashed, and no fancy magic spells were chanted. However, there was a streak of strange force moving around. It was just as hard to detect as air, and it was extremely dangerous, making the hearts of Albeda's Moon-Class Elites race.
Bam!
A familiar explosion sounded.
Red and white brain matter spilled in all direction as if someone stepped into a pond of mud.
O'Henry who was arrogant yet weak followed Flatter Zeman's steps. Although he was already careful and focused, he wasn't able to change his fate. As if he couldn't believe what was happening, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and his head was then exploded like a smashed watermelon as well. Just like Zeman, his cold corpse fell down the sky powerlessly.
Killing seemed like pulling grass to this black-robed young man!
"What is this power? It is terrifying!"
"There is no way that I could prevent this!"
"This force shouldn't belong to humans! Who is this black-robed young man?"
"It is not magic energy, and it is also not warrior energy. Could it be that this is the power of a god?"
These Moon-Class Elites were confident and couldn't wait to dash into Chambord City and rob all the treasures a moment ago, but they were all terrified like old hens in front of eagles. They were shocked to their cores, and they backed off like falling tides, creating a long distance between them and these four mysterious masters.
They were all powerful masters who comprehended some laws of nature, and their eyes were sharp; it was hard to surprise them, let alone shock them. However, they saw a type of energy that they had never encountered before today and which was beyond their comprehension, and they were terrified.
"This is… spirit energy!"

As a Sun-Class Lord, Albeda was more knowledgeable, and he gasped and shouted.
He was more powerful than the Moon-Class Elites, and his eyes were sharper. After observing for a while, he finally understood the energy properties of this handsome, black-robed young man.
Spirit energy was a unique energy. It required the practitioner to have a rare talent and great opportunities in life to develop that talent. On top of that, the practitioner had to find a good master who excelled in spirit energy, and the training method was rare as well. Therefore, warrior energy and magic energy were the two dominant energies on the Azeroth Continent, and people rarely learned spirit energy.
Therefore, Albeda was surprised that he ran into someone who practiced spirit energy, and this person had reached Moon-Class with it.
As they talked, changes occurred again.
Moon-Class Elite Oliveira who looked like a mercenary suddenly gasped, and he opened his mouth and spat out a gulp of blood. Then, his face paled, and he staggered as if he were severely injured. Half of his head caved in, and several terrifying holes appeared in his chest. It seemed like he was instantly struck by many forces and was immediately taken out; he could no longer continue to stay in the air.
This Oliveira was also one of the Moon-Class Elites who were saying some over-the-top things.
It was clear that after Zeman and O'Henry, he was the target for the black-robed young man.
Since Albeda had shouted and revealed what this energy was, the Moon-Class Elites were no longer as fearful. However, they were still scared for their lives since they had never fought with someone who possessed such spirit energy which was invisible and didn't leave any traces.

"Who are you? What are you doing? Why are you attacking us? Is there any misunderstanding?"
The powerful strengths that these enemies who appeared out of nowhere made the morale of these arrogant invaders drop, and one of the Moon-Class Elites couldn't help but ask in his shaky voice.
"Misunderstanding?" The black-robed young man's eyes were still closed as if he didn't want to see the ugly faces in front of him. He stated in his cold tone, "I'm Dessler, one of the 12 Gold Saints of Chambord, Gold Saint of Aries. Do you think there is a misunderstanding?"
"Gold Saint?"
"One of them?"
"Those dirty Chambordians?"
"They are really Chambordians. No wonder… could it be that those rumors are true? How is it possible? The King of Chambord really have 12 powerful masters who have unique skills under his command? How… how is this possible?"
The foreign Moon-Class Elites were shocked.
The smarter ones had already realized the seriousness of the situation.
If the masters under the King of Chambord were already this powerful, then their goal of destroying Chambord couldn't be realized. If they went, their lives would be in mortal danger. Everything in front of them showed that the Chambordians were already aware of what their plan was and were well-prepared. Since the Chambordians dared to ambush them after knowing their strengths, it showed how confident the Chambordians were, and how weak they were in the Chambordians' eyes.
These people who came with D'Alessandro were all weak-willed individuals. Although they were all Moon-Class Elites, they weren't that strong mentally. Faced with unexpected danger, they all wanted to retreat.
Sun-Class Lord Albeda had detected the change in the situation, and he knew that he could no longer stay silent and had to stimulate morale. He roared, "Humph! You are just a few clowns! How dare you stop us? Even if that despicable and shameless King of Chambord were in front of me today, he couldn't leave here alive! Although spirit energy is strange, it is only a dirty power that was washed away by time. How powerful can it be? I will kill you first and then slaughter those other 11 damn Gold Saints!"
After shouting, streaks of green light beams rushed out of his body like rapid-growing vines, and they shot toward black-robed Dessler as a green wave, trying to capture the latter.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
A series of explosions sounded.
Gold Saint Dessler of Aries frowned, and invisible walls suddenly appeared as if space were frozen. However, these walls weren't able to block the green vine-line light beams and were all shattered. Then, the green light beams continued to rush toward Dessler.
Dessler's body shivered, and his brows furrowed even more. Waves of invisible spirit energy rushed out of his body and forced many spirit energy barriers.
He was a young man on the [Blood Crime] Island which was located in the [Sea of Fragrance], and he was the descendant of a hero. He lost the honor of his family and his loved ones, but he got saved by Fei at the critical moment, and the king taught him the spirit energy techniques, turning him from a weak young man into a Moon-Class Elite.
From Dessler's perspective, Fei had completely changed his fate, and he saw the king as a fatherly figure who he would protect even if he might die. Therefore, after hearing the offensive comments that these Moon-Class Elites made toward Chambord, he got murderous and killed Zeman and O'Henry before crippling Oliveira, shocking the enemies.
This was the first real battle that Dessler got involved in since he became proficient with the spirit energy.
He was only a level 7 mid-tier New Moon Elite, but he defeated three masters consecutively, thoroughly demonstrating the strangeness and power of the spirit energy. His title as one of the Gold Saints was well-deserved, and he could rival famous warriors of Chambord such as Pierce, Drogba, and Lampard.
However, even though the spirit energy was unique, his realm was far from the Sun-Class. The vein-like green light beams continued to shatter his spirit energy walls, and the sharp tips of the green vines were almost touching Dessler's forehead.
Chapter 850: These Are the Master of Chambord (Part One)
Dessler unleashed all his spirit energy without holding back, and ripples appeared in the sky like blooming flowers. However, he couldn't block these green, vine-like light beams.
"Humph! Ant-like wastrel! Die!" A vicious expression appeared on Albeda's face.
He was planning to instantly kill this master of Chambord to raise the morale of the people on his side.
The Moon-Class Elites on his side saw this, and they couldn't help but feel thrilled.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a blue arrow dashed through the sky.
The temperature in the area dropped drastically, and frost appeared out of nowhere. Soon, a series of cracking noises sounded, and snowflakes were condensed from the moist air. Before the snowflakes could fall down from the sky, they were packed together and turned into ice blocks before flying downward like meteors.
Those invincible green, vein-like light beams were broken in this terrifying coldness.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Like poisonous snakes that were chopped into pieces, these light beams were somehow frozen and broke into bits, losing the energy contained in them instantly.
However, that blue arrow was still full of energy, and it dashed toward Albeda quickly, instantly piercing the right shoulder of this Sun-Class Lord.
Bam! The blood and shattered flesh flew out of Albeda's right shoulder as a blood arrow.
"Ah… you…" Albeda screamed in fear; he sensed death from this arrow.
If he didn't unleash his full force and tried to dodge with everything he got, his throat would have been penetrated.
It was a terrifying arrow.

As a Sun-Class Lord, no ordinary arrows could ever threaten him, and no archery skills could harm him. However, that blue arrow was something else. On top of the extreme chilliness, it also contained laws of nature. A magnificent force locked onto Albeda, and he would be a corpse right now if that deadly sensation didn't stimulate his potential and force him to dodge at the most critical moment.
Even though Sun-Class Lords had strong vitality, if this arrow pierced their vital parts, they couldn't escape death.
Although Albeda had dodged in time and escaped death, his right shoulder was still injured, and a streak of terrifying chilly energy rushed into his energy channels. The faint-blue frost energy traveled down his arm and froze it off, and his magic armor shattered under the extreme coldness and fell off like dry tree bark.
"You… this woman is also a Sun-Class Lord?!"
After sensing the number of laws of nature contained in the chilly energy, Albeda stared at that beautiful woman in shock. He sensed danger from this woman whose long red hair was tied into a ponytail and was wearing red armor, but he didn't want to believe it. It turned out that his intuition was correct, and this woman was a Sun-Class Lord.
"It is going to be troublesome today…" Albeda thought to himself.
However, the response to Albeda was another arrow, a red arrow!
Fire arrow!
No one expected this beautiful woman to master two types of magic energy, fire and ice.
In an instant, the chilly energy in the air disappeared, and those ice blocks that had just condensed and hadn't fall from the sky were sublimated into white mist. Then, terrifying heat waves rushed toward Albeda as if a new sun appeared in front of him, and the Moon-Class Elite felt the hair on their bodies drying and curling up.

The drastic shift from cold to hot dealt a lot of damage.
Oliveira who was already severely injured by Dessler's spirit energy had healed a little and was trying to hold up, but he screamed and fell from the sky like a broken kite when the drastic shift in temperature occurred.
Chapter 850: These Are the Master of Chambord (Part Two)
Sun-Class Lord Albeda also screamed as a stunned expression appeared on his face. Without daring to hold back, he unleashed his warrior energy, and the green light coming from his body enveloped half of the sky.
He cultivated wood-elemental warrior energy, and that allowed him to have strong vitality and faster recovery speed. As a series of crackling noises sounded, the faint-blue chilly energy in his right shoulder quickly disappeared under the envelopment of the green light, and then meat sprouts grew out of his right shoulder and quickly created new bones, flesh, and skin as if they had lives of their own.
In just a few seconds, a new arm grew out, and Albeda recovered.
Sun-Class Lords had comprehended the laws of nature, and they had supernatural abilities. Their bones, flesh, and internal organs had been refined many times and were much more powerful than normal, which meant that they were capable of rebirth. Especially for wood-elemental masters, they had stronger vitality and faster recovery speed compared to other Sun-Class Lords, and it wasn't hard to regrow a body part in a short time.
After recovering, Albeda quickly started to move around like crazy. He continued to travel through space and teleporting in a short distance using the laws of nature to dodge that terrifying fire arrow. The incredible amount of heat and tearing force in the arrow shocked him, and he didn't dare to take it head-on.
A surprising and spectacular battle occurred.
That beautiful woman stood where she was and pulled on her bow, shooting out arrows that had various elemental-attributes with a calm expression. She was following a mystic rhythm, and the arrows flew out with a well-measured tempo. With powerful energy contained in them, the arrows drew many strange arcs in the sky and dashed toward Albeda.
This Sun-Class Lord from the Anji Empire roared continuously and tried to escape from the aim of the arrows, but he never succeeded.
"Kill them! His Majesty has ordered it! Don't let any one of them leave!"
The handsome, elf-like young man who had long black hair and was standing in afar in silence suddenly spoke. As he opened his hand, a strangely-shaped black dagger appeared on his palm. In the next moment, he disappeared without a sign as if he dissolved into the air. Not even a trace of aura was left, and it felt like this young man was never here.
Assassination skill!
"Be careful! This young man is an assassin! He might be one of the terrifying assassins in the [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord's command…" Silver-Haired Master who was worried from the beginning shouted to warn his peers.
Unfortunately, his warning came a bit late.
As soon as this elf-like black-clothed young man disappeared, a streak of blood appeared in the crowd of foreign Moon-Class Elites.
A bearded Moon-Class Elite who was in his forties put his hands around his throat and let out a series of low roars like an animal that got its throat severed. While he struggled, grey light of desperation appeared in his eyes.
Before he could realize what was going on, he was severely injured.
The recovery ability of Moon-Class Elites was far inferior to Sun-Class Lords, and they couldn't instantly regrow flesh and bones. Since the throat is a vital part of the human body, this man was dead for sure if he didn't have godly herbs or get magic treatment.
"Quickly save him!" someone screamed like a madman.
However, the life harvester in the dark wouldn't give them that opportunity.
A black shadow suddenly flashed by, and a bloody wound appeared on this Moon-Class Elite's chest.
Bam! A bloody big hole appeared, and his heart exploded. Such a fatal injury made him feel desperate, and there was no way back for him.
The warm corpse fell toward the ground with blood gushing out of the wound.
"Hahaha! No one can escape from the harvest of the [Touch of Hell]! There are only souls under my blade! No mercy will be shown!" That elf-like young man's voice echoed in the sky.
Chapter 851: Attack Together (Part One)
This elf-like, handsome young man with the long black hair was Philip Inzagi whom Fei saved at the poor neighborhood in Hot Spring Gate. He was Fei's No.1 Disciple, and he had the innate ability of stealth and hiding in space.
Like a gust of black smoke and a streak of black lightning, he dashed between people faster than the speed of light. Wherever he went, terrified screams sounded, and blood spilled. The foreign Moon-Class Elites continued to shout and back off, but more and more fatal injuries appeared on their bodies.
"He is there…"
"Don't be scared! Surround him! As long as an assassin reveals his trace, he will be as fragile as a fox that is trapped inside a net, no longer posing a threat. Guys, don't worry! Let's move up and kill him!"
"Let's attack together with full force!"
Various colors of warrior energy and magic energy flashed in the air. After the initial panic, the Moon-Class Elites calmed down and started to counterattack since they had the numbers advantage.
These people were powerful masters after all. Although their characters and virtues were lacking, they were Moon-Class Elites with some combat experience.
In the crowd, the mages chanted spells loudly. The mystical magic energy spread, the air gradually became as thick as the swamp. This was the result of a combination of spells such as swamp spell, sticky spell, weight spell, and spatial imprisonment spell.
Like raindrops in a massive storm, all these spells dashed toward that black, lightning-like figure who was flashing around.
This black figure's speed was significantly reduced, looking like a snail that fell into a swamp.
"Hahaha! We got him! Let's attack together and destroy him!"
As they laughed crazily, the warriors used their ultimate techniques, and streaks of terrifying energy attacked forward mercilessly. These were all area-of-effect strikes, and they didn't need to accurately hit the target to do damage.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the next moment, all the various colored energies collided from all directions, creating a series of chain explosions. The violent energy surge forced the space to ripple, and the energy waves instantly filled the area of several hundred meters in radius.
"Success!"

"With this level of power, this Chambordian is dead for sure!"
Seeing that their attacks were successful, the Moon-Class Elites cheered and rallied themselves.
"The enemies aren't as powerful as we thought, and the Chambordians aren't monsters that can't be killed. Right now, there are only four of them, and they are at a big numbers disadvantage," the Moon-Class Elites thought to themselves, and they felt like the situation was a lot better than they had imagined.
With the skyrocketing confidence, the Moon-Class Elite looked at the other masters of Chambord with hostility and murderous spirits.
"Hahaha! The Chambordians are just average! Haha! Guys, don't be afraid! Let's move together and kill them! Mr. D'Alessandro is going to reward us!" Some people started to hype themselves up, and all of them had wicked smiles on their faces.
At this moment, the handsome priest with the short brown hair who was standing with the other three surviving masters of Chambord looked at them in pity as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
While standing still in the sky, he looked at these Moon-Class Elites as if he were looking at a bunch of morons.
In the next moment, changes occurred again.
The Moon-Class Elite who started hyping everyone up in the crowd fell silent. As a terrified expression appeared on his face, a streak of black light flashed by, and he felt cold sensations spreading in his throat and his heart. Then, all the energy in his body started to rush out like the water in the opened reservoir, and nothing was able to stop it.

When he looked down, he saw streaks of blood flowing out of his neck and chest!
Life energy instantly left his body, and his cold corpse fell directly toward the ground.
"He is not dead!"
"How is this possible?"
"Impossible! How is he not dead? Is he an unkillable monster?"
Shock and panic spread in the crowd like an incurable disease.
"Hahahaha! A bunch of ignorant clowns! How dare you try to rival my lord with so little strength? How dare you try to barge into the territory of Chambord? You don't know how the word 'death' is written! Today, the cold blade of the [Touch of Hell] can't allow ignorant, shameless, and evil people like you to get away!"
When that familiar yet terrifying laughter sounded like the call of the Grim Reaper, the deadly flash of black lightning remerged.
Blood was spilled, and screams sounded again.
The Moon-Class Elites in the sky all dodged and fell like the straws in a tornado, and they were so fearful that they felt like their souls were leaving their bodies.

Although the strength of this assassin of Chambord wasn't dominating, his speed was too fast, and his stealth technique was hard to see through. It was impossible to spot him and track him, making the situation very hard to deal with.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
At the same time, ear-piercing explosions sounded from the high sky. The two Sun-Class Lords had already fought past the sky and entered a higher altitude. Even though they were far away, the residual energies from their battle traveled back to where everyone else was, and the force shocked them to their cores. Right now, no one knew who had the advantage.
"You two, stop just standing there and watching. Let's attack together and take care of these b*stards. Mr. Brook had issued the order, and we need to get to St. Petersburg as soon as we can."
Like a ghost, Inzagi would show himself from time to time, and he said to his two peers in displeasure.
Further away, Dessler who had been silent for a while used his spirit energy technique again, and several Moon-Class Elites froze as painful expressions appeared on their faces. At this moment, Inzagi flashed by their sides like a lightning bolt, instantly taking away their lives.
When Dessler and Inzagi coordinated with each other, they were a perfect match!
"Ah, I hope that the gods will forgive me for the blood that I'm about to touch. Jessie's sword kills for protection, and I slash evil and not people," the handsome young priest chanted earnestly with a holy expression filled with pity, but his strikes were merciless.
A giant pair of silver wings created from holy power instantly opened from Jessie's back, and each feather was distinct and sharp as if it had a life of its own. When this pair of wings was fully opened, it was more than 100 meters wide, revealing a terrifying amount of holy power and making this young priest look like an angel or a god who was descending from heaven. He looked dignified and inviolable.
[Wings of Bless]! It was one of Jessie's ultimate techniques!
In the next moment, this handsome priest roared, and many white, holy feathers fell off his wings. Then, they turned into sharp and indestructible light swords, dashing toward those Moon-Class Elites who were panicking in the sky.
"Ah…"
"No! Save me!"
"Forgive me! I surrender! I'm wrong…"
As blood rain fell down the sky, a series of screams and begs for forgiveness sounded.
Jessie was at top-tier Half Moon a long time ago, and he was much more powerful than Inzagi and Dessler. Except for the Sun-Class Lords of Chambord such as Fei, only Gold Saint Lampard of Leon who was the former No.1 Master of Chambord was a bit more powerful than him.
As a result, the situation became one-sided as soon as Jessie showed his hand.
Chapter 852: Argument in the Imperial Military Headquarters (Part One)
In addition, Jessie was a priest, and he also represented the entire Holy Church. This organization was a force was like a mammoth that no one dared to slight.
Most of these Moon-Class Elites were all independent masters. Although they couldn't understand why such a powerful priest was a member of Chambord, they didn't dare to go against the Holy Church no matter what! In fact, they didn't even dare to fight back!
Under fear, their morale tanked!
After the masters of Chambord mercilessly killed the few Moon-Class Elite who were fighting back, this group of people who were put together temporarily finally collapsed; it was unavoidable.
Like homeless dogs, they ran in all directions and tried to flee.
This was a tragic scene.
If they were able to concentrate and gather together with a good leader, they might be able to put up a fight with their numbers advantage. Unfortunately, as soon as the first person fled, everyone else could no longer unify and defend themselves.
The dozen-or-so Moon-Class Elites who had survived this far all turned into dashes of light, and they ran in all directions.
Jessie, Dessler, and Inzagi were in a completely advantageous position, but it was impossible for them to kill all the invaders. After all, they were only three people, and they couldn't clone themselves!
"Never mind, we don't need to chase."
Inzagi stopped moving and looked at the few Moon-Class Elites who already flew far away in the sky. He laughed, "We can let these cowards live, and they will spread the news about how powerful Chambord is. Then, fewer idiots will try to come and bully us! Although we aren't afraid, it is annoying to deal with them all the time!"
Dessler nodded lightly and stopped as well; it was clear that he agreed with Inzagi's words.
A smile appeared on Jessie's face, and this handsome young priest said, "I hope the gods will forgive me for my sins. I really don't want to kill them."
Both Inzagi and Dessler were at a loss for words, and they thought to themselves, "Didn't this priest who said that he likes peace kill the most people? He waved his hand and killed several Moon-Class Elites! He has the face to say that he doesn't want to kill?"
After spending time together, people were able to tell that this young priest looked gentle but was stubborn as hell in battle. Once he decided on something, even nine dragons couldn't pull him back.

Right now, shocking explosions sounded in the high sky where strong wind existed.
With his eyes tightly closed, Dessler raised his head slightly and 'looked at' the battle in the high sky, and he said in hesitation, "Should we move together and help Elena Her Highness?"
Priest Jessie couldn't help but smile.
On the other hand, Inzagi patiently explained the situation to this peer who joined Chambord not long ago, "Don't worry. That Albeda from the Anji Empire is only a Sun-Class Lord in the Morning Sun Realm, and his realm isn't stable. Queen Elena advanced to the Sun-Class Realm a long time ago, and she is probably above the Morning Sun Realm and is at the Rising Sun Realm. You might not know, but Elena Her Highness is a talented warrior, and she is only weaker than Alexander His Majesty in Chambord. She is the No.2 Master of Chambord, and Albeda is no match for her!"
As soon as he said this, a blood rain poured down the sky.
Then, the explosions that were created by the colliding green light and fire and ice energies suddenly disappeared.
As a bright red light flashed by, the three young men felt like their visions blurred for a moment. Valkyrie Elena in red armor appeared in front of the three young men with Sun-Class Lord Albeda in her hand. This man still had a few breaths in him, but he had fainted already!
Elena's strength was even beyond Inzagi's most optimistic estimation. When facing this experienced and talented Valkyrie, Albeda wasn't even able to use his Sun-Class Anomaly. If she didn't want to capture him alive, she would be able to kill this opponent who was in the Morning Sun Realm with less than ten arrows!
Chapter 852: Argument in the Imperial Military Headquarters (Part Two)
"Mr. Brook has issued a command. I need to go back to protect Chambord City, and you three can head to St. Petersburg with this captive and meet His Majesty." Elena's voice sounded as she tossed Albeda to Priest Jessie.

"Ah? His Majesty is in the Capital of Zenit?"
"His Majesty is back?"
The three young men were all pleasantly surprised.
For the last while, all kinds of rumors were passed around. Although the members of Chambord never doubted Fei, they were a little worried for the king. Therefore, they were thrilled when they heard that Fei had returned safely and was in St. Petersburg, and they couldn't wait to see him; they wanted to teleport to him right now.

…
-St. Petersburg, Imperial Military Headquarters-
This black building looked majestic and serious. Both the color and the atmosphere of this place made people feel a little scared.
This was the headquarters of the most powerful and cruel force in Zenit, and it had the most influence in the Empire. All the movements of close to one million Zenitian soldiers were controlled by the officials in this building, and the orders that left this place daily determined the life and death of many people!
It was less than 24 hours away from the deadline that D'Alessandro, the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint, gave Zenit. The people inside St. Petersburg were anxious and nervous.
Facing an opponent whose status and strength was indefensible and the despicable and vicious co-conspirators, Zenitians had to make a decision, especially the nobles; they had to react according to their own benefits, and the high-level officials in the Imperial Military Headquarters were no different.
Right now, there was an intense argument happening in the meeting room at the center of the building.
The objective of this meeting was to determine how to deal with Imperial Martial Saint Alexander who was also the King of Chambord. On the one side, there was the talented young warrior who was canonized as the Imperial Martial Saint by Emperor Yassin himself after saving St. Petersburg, representing the future of the Empire. On the other side, there was the arrogant and vicious D'Alessandro who was the disciple of the most powerful human on Azeroth and wanted to kill the King of Chambord. This decision was hard to make for a lot of people.
Of course, it was very easy for others.
"Since most of us agree to charge the King of Chambord with a crime against humanity, a small number of us stayed silent, and less than five of us disagreed, I think we've reached our conclusion. At least the Imperial Military Headquarters could decide on this matter!" A fat man announced proudly. He had a thick red beard, and he was wearing a fancy robe.
He was Andrew Semak, the head of the Semak Family that was a level 1 noble family. He had been one of the top-tier officials who had control over the ten military cities in the southern region and governed the region.
Aside from the reason that the Ten Empire United Troops were tough to deal with, the fact that Andrew Semak had been slacking off and allowed the military forces in the region to weaken was also one of the key reasons as to how the southern region of Zenit fell into the hands of the invaders.
Unfortunately, the Semak Family had roots deep into the political system and had a strong influence. After he escaped back to St. Petersburg, he was investigated by the Royal Family, but his noble title was kept, and he still had a say in the Imperial Military Headquarters.
Andrew Semak was one of the key figures on the side of people who believed in sacrificing the King of Chambord to ensure the safety of Zenit.
In the last while, he had been hosting meeting after meeting and persuaded many other nobles. His goal was to submit to D'Alessandro to obtain peace and stability.
Chapter 853: Elder Prince Arshavin's Decision (Part One)
[TL Note: Hey guys, this chapter is a three-parter.]
Andrew Semak's suggestion was backed by many influential figures in the Imperial Military Headquarters.
Most of them were old nobles who lost their sharpness and pride. The comfortable living and the passage of time put rust on their weapons, and their bodies and souls were also corroded.
The officials who were supporting Fei were mostly young men who weren't willing to submit. They wanted an opportunity to perform their duties, and they were fearless and admired heroes. However, they were at a real numbers disadvantage, and their positions were a lot lower. Even though they were in this meeting, they didn't really have a say in this as they lacked influence.
"Zenit is a level 1 empire with one million soldiers. Back in the day, Emperor Yassin was able to battle and expand the territory of the empire in that disadvantageous situation, being both dominating and invincible. Almost all of you were generals under His Majesty who were fearless and ferocious on the battlefields, but why are you so weak and powerless today? Where is your former glory and courage?" A young military officer who was sitting at the back of the meeting room slammed the table and questioned in a rage with a red face.
His name was Gary Cahill, and he was recently promoted to be a legion commander after his outstanding performance during the defense battle of St. Petersburg and the military merits that he gained. He had a poor background, and he climbed to where he was today through accumulating military merits bit by bit. In fact, he was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to listen in during the meetings at the Imperial Military Headquarters.
During that defense battle, Gary Cahill was able to battle alongside Fei, and he got the chance to observe the strong presence of the Imperial Martial Saint. Just like many low-level soldiers and military officers, he truly admired the King of Chambord, and he firmly supported the new Imperial Martial Saint. He didn't believe in the rumors that said the King of Chambord colluded with the Sea Tribe.
As soon as Cahill stood up and voiced his opposition, the other young military officers also followed him and chimed in.
"Legend Commander Cahill is right! If we submit to an arrogant b*stard, the entire Zenit Empire will become the laughingstock of Azeroth!"
"Regardless, Mr. Marital Saint has gone against the current and saved Zenit when the empire was in dire danger. Now, you are trying to ditch such a figure without hesitation? The citizens of Zenit will be ashamed of you!"
"The King of Chambord is the pride and honor of Zenit, and he represents Zenit's future. You are choosing to ditch a Sun-Class Lord who is less than 20 years old? This is treason!"
"Before I came here, all the military officers who are above the level of Team Commander signed the petition to protect the Imperial Marital Saint. We are willing to fight and battle for the honor of the Zenit Empire and the Imperial Martial Saint! We won't regret it even if we die!"
The young military officers were all angry and humiliated by what was happening.
At this moment, they still dared to hold up their beliefs and state their case in front of these
top-tier officials who were many levels higher than them. It could be said that they possessed the real virtues of being soldiers and defended the honor of the military.

In front of these accusations and questions that pretty much tore off all disguises, the top-tier officials who were on the side of submitting, led by Andrew Semak, had varied reactions. Although their expressions all changed, some of them lowered their heads, some of them felt guilty, and some of them were enraged.
Like a beast that got its partner taken away during mating, Semak stood up in anger and shouted, "Shut up! What do you know? If we don't ditch the King of Chambord, the entirety of Zenit is going to suffer greatly! Ditching one to save millions! What is wrong with that?"
Chapter 853: Elder Prince Arshavin's Decision (Part Two)
"Yeah! These brave yet brainless guys only go with their emotions and not logic!" A nobleman with a goatee laughed in disdain.
"Hehehe, Alexander ditched the honor of his ancestors and betrayed humans by colluding with the Sea Tribe, the enemy of all humans! We should get away from him as soon as possible." Another influential official giggled and said. His name was Diarra, and he supported Semak and had control of the southern region before as well.
After saying that, he looked at the young military officers with a wicked smile as he added, "This is strange. Why are you trying to protect the King of Chambord this much? Could it be that you colluded with him a long time ago? I suspect that you guys are also involved with the Sea Tribe!"
This was nonsense, but he threw dirt at these brave and hot-blooded young officers without hesitation, completely framing them with nothing.
"You…" Gary Cahill who spoke first was so angry that he couldn't get his words out.
At this moment, these vicious, snake-like nobles still weren't thinking about the bigger picture regarding Zenit and were trying to harm their political enemies. They were foolish and shameless.
"What? You have no words to say?" Diarra sneered and pressed Cahill, "In my opinion, you guys already spoken with the King of Chambord, and you are up to no good. Although you look passionate and appear to be thinking for Zenit, you are all vicious and trying to achieve your own goals. If the Royal Family of Zenit and D'Alessandro are in conflict, there will be chaos, and it will greatly benefit the Chambord Kingdom, the new force that is on the rise. After all, this kingdom's power is beyond the upper threshold of a level 1 affiliated kingdom."

"Nonsense! You are just throwing dirt!" The young military officers were so mad that their lungs were about to explode.
"Humph! Do you still want to give more excuses? Foolish!" Diarra suddenly raised his voice and stopped the young military officers from talking.
Rather than letting these young military officers speak, he suddenly turned around and quickly walked to Elder Prince Arshavin, Zenit's God of War, who was sitting at the head of the table and thinking in silence. He reported with passion and respect, "Your Highness, the King of Chambord is now a criminal, and everyone in the region knows about it. He is truly shameless, and he has offended many empires on the continent. This king is arrogant, he slights the Royal Family, and he barged into St. Petersburg without consent. He has done many evil deeds, and he is like a tumor for Zenit. Handing this villain to people like D'Alessandro is only beneficial for the Royal Family and Zenit as a whole. Right now, all the top-tier officials agree with this decision. Your Highness, you have the final say! These dirty low-level officers are up to no good, and the Imperial Knight Palace should arrest and interrogate them."
In the meeting room, all kinds of expressions were shown.
Everyone knew that the King of Chambord and the Elder Prince had a deep grudge between them that was nearly impossible to resolve.
Elder Prince Arshavin had tried to deal with the troops at Dual-Flag City and those military officers who were on the side of King Alexander of Chambord. Then, the King of Chambord got enraged, and he barged into St. Petersburg and threatened the Elder Prince mercilessly in front of all the residents of the city… These two men were like water and fire; they didn't get along well!
When Diarra just spoke, he mentioned the incident of Fei barging into St. Petersburg, trying to instigate the conflict intentionally. It was clear that he wanted to draw out the anger in Arshavin and punish these hot-blooded young military officers.
This move was vicious and cruel.
Chapter 853: Elder Prince Arshavin's Decision (Part Three)
For a moment, everyone looked at this prince who had been sitting here but didn't voice his opinion.
20 Pictures That Show Pregnancy in Russia is Wildly Different!
FillyNews
Right now, the Elder Prince's status in the Imperial Military Headquarters was supreme.
Although he wasn't confirmed as the successor of the throne, he still had control over [Iron Blood Legion], the No.1 Legion of Zenit that was known to be invincible. Also, he could move five out of the ten main battle legions, and he was in charge of training the new recruits and putting together the new legions. Therefore, he had control over more than half of the soldiers of Zenit.
With his high status and military talent, Arshavin was the most influential figure in the Imperial Military Headquarters without a doubt. In the last while, whatever Arshavin said was taken as the final decision.
Right now, the young military officers looked angry yet helpless.
Zenit's God of War was the pride of the empire, and almost all military officers looked up to him. However, there was the irresolvable resentment between him and the King of Chambord. From the perspective of human psychology, people could foresee the Elder Prince's decision.
Nobles like Andrew Semak and Diarra already couldn't hide their smiles; everything was within their calculations.
This was an excellent opportunity for them to show the Elder Prince their loyalty.
However, Arshavin who had been silent all along raised his head slowly, and he observed Diarra with a light flashing in his eyes like a sharp knife. When this vicious poisonous snake felt uncomfortable, Arshavin said lightly, "You don't deserve to appear in an honorable and glorious place such as the Imperial Military Headquarters!"
[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]
"Ah?" Diarra and Semak couldn't understand the situation for a moment, and they were stunned, not knowing what to do.
"Ever since the establishment of Zenit, there are only generals who died on the battlefields and no soldiers who submitted under power!"
Arshavin fluttered his cape as he stood up, and he continued to speak as his body that wasn't too muscular emitted a majestic presence.
"The King of Chambord is the Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit. Even if he needs to be punished, it should be the decision of the Royal Family. When is it others' turn to point their fingers? D'Alessandro is the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint? So what? Zenit has close to one million soldiers, and we are giant dragons and ferocious lions. We will just battle it out tomorrow morning!"
What he said instantly excited the people in the room.
At this moment, Zenit's God of War's not-so-impressive body released an unparalleled brilliance. Without needing additional effects, the few words that he said were enough to stun people. At that moment, the people who were hesitating felt guilty and ashamed.
"Your Highness, you… then the King of Chambord… you guys…" Diarra didn't expect the Elder Prince to react like this.
In fact, before Arshavin spoke, no one anticipated this.
"Pass my order! Arrest Semak and Diarra! They are charged with treason, and they shall be executed by hanging. After they die, they shall be decapitated to deter others!" the Elder Prince said murderously without hesitation, and his face was cold and chilly like a demonic god.
Then, a series of uniform footsteps sounded, and teams of soldiers in black uniform armor rushed into the meeting room like a flood.
Surprising to everyone, these were the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion]. The people in the meeting had no idea when, but the guards were replaced by them.
Right now, the elite soldiers had surrounded the meeting room with weapons raised, and they looked murderous as if they were ready to kill.
Something big was about to happen!
"Could it be that the Elder Prince… want to launch a rebellion? How dare he surround the Imperial Military Headquarters with his soldiers?" people thought to themselves.
"No! Your Highness! Forgive us!"
"AH! You can't kill me! Although you are a prince of Zenit, you don't have the power to kill me…"
Diarra and Semak shrieked.

Unfortunately, the murderous soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] didn't show them any mercy.
A few muscular soldiers who were in black armor that seemed to still have blood stains on them charged in and grabbed these two screaming nobles without holding back. Then, they turned around and dragged the nobles out of the room. Diarra and Semak shouted crazily and called Arshavin names, and the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] smashed their mouths with weapons mercilessly. Now that their mouths were crushed, blood gushed out immediately, and their angry roars turned into deep and muffled whines.
In less than half a minute, two shrieks sounded from the outside.
Then, a military officer of [Iron Blood Legion] quickly walked in with two heads that still had hot blood dripping down. After he glanced around at the top-tier officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters, he snorted and threw the two heads on the ground. As blood splashed, their facial features could still be seen, and it was clear that they were Andrew Semak and Diarra who were dragged out.
"They were really killed!" people thought to themselves as the extreme visual shock made all of them dizzy.
These two were old nobles who had high status and many connections in Zenit! Without the interrogation of the Imperial Knight Palace and the decision of Emperor Yassin, they were killed on the spot! In others' minds, Elder Prince Arshavin rushed this and was too violent.
Almost everyone in the meeting room lowered their heads in fear, and they didn't dare to look at the prince who was sitting at the head of the table.
While sitting on his chair with his arms and legs stretched, Arshavin kept quiet with his right hand on his saber. His expression was still cold, and he didn't even look at the two heads on the ground. Right now, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Some people tried to back out of the meeting room quietly, but they were stopped by the murderous soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion].
Quite a few of the nobles in the meeting room were warriors. They had followed Emperor Yassin and battled in wars, meaning that they had impressive strength. Unfortunately, years of comfortable living and lack of training weakened them to the maximum. Even though they were stronger than ordinary soldiers, they were no match for masters of [Iron Blood Legion]. Besides, Elder Prince Arshavin was already a Seven-Star Warrior, and he was the most powerful person in the room. No one could match him, and no one dared to make the wrong move.
Soon, dozens of military secretaries carefully walked in under the protection of a big team of soldiers in black uniform armor. Then, many letters and documents were moved in, piling into a small mountain.
Right now, the entire building was completely sealed, and a military secretary picked up a document and started to read it in his shaky voice.
These documents were all the letters that the nobles inside St. Petersburg were sending and receiving in the last while, but the content of these letters was shocking. Faced with danger, some people decided to communicate with enemies and submit before Zenit decided on what to do. In fact, most of these letters were between the nobles and the Anji Empire, the new dominating force in the Northern Region of Azeroth.
The people with fast information networks knew that the Anji Empire had a good relationship with D'Alessandro, and they even sent a Sun-Class Lord to come to Zenit with D'Alessandro.
In these letters, the Anji Empire promised the nobles that as long as they were willing to surrender and join Anji, they could still maintain their status and enjoy their lives even if D'Alessandro destroyed Zenit in rage.

Bam! Bam!
As the military secretaries read the letters one by one without skipping a line, some people in the room were terrified. Their legs turned to jelly, and their face paled. They were so afraid that they couldn't get a word out.
The ferocious and beast-like soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] charged in, and the nobles whose names were called were pulled out and executed regardless of what status they had.
"No! Even if we committed crimes, it should be the Imperial Knight Palace that interrogates us, and the final verdict should come from the Imperial Senate and Emperor Yassin! Although you are a prince, you don't have the power to kill nobles!"
"Forgive us! Elder Prince! We are being framed! Framed! You know that my family and I have always been standing by your side! We are your loyal servants…"
"You are stepping over the line! This is treason! Emperor Yassin would never allow this! Do you want to launch a rebellion?"
Chapter 854: That Person (Part Two)
The nobles whose names were called all reacted differently; some of them begged for mercy, some of them shouted, and some of them whined and struggled. However, they had the same ending. They were decapitated, and their bloody heads were tossed to the center of the meeting room, piling into another small mountain.
In just a little while, more than 20 nobles were executed.
Some of them tried to escape, but the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] who were guarding outside turned them into hedgehogs using arrows.

During this entire process, Elder Prince Arshavin sat in his seat quietly, and he didn't say anything. It seemed like the shouts and executions didn't pull in his attention as his mind was somewhere else. It felt like even if all the top-tier officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters were executed here today, his mind still wouldn't be here even though this news would be shocking to almost every Zenitian.
The execution was continuing.

-St. Petersburg, the Elder Princess Estate that wasn't far from the Royal Palace-
As a key member of the Royal Family who had stayed on the side of Elder Prince Arshavin before, Elder Princess Tanasha who was known as Zenit's Goddess of Intelligence had immeasurable influence on the political sphere of Zenit. This wise and intelligent woman was like an arm to Arshavin, and she was his No.1 Advisor and had control over half of St. Petersburg. Many nobles were more respectful and fearful of this woman, who was probably the smartest in the history of Zenit, compared to Elder Prince Arshavin.
Elder Princess Tanasha was crucial to the growth of the legendary King Alexander of Chambord. Before the competition among all affiliated kingdoms of Zenit, many nobles with fast and accurate information networks knew that the two of them were very intimate.
Unfortunately, the Elder Princess and the King of Chambord's relationship became subtle as the Elder Prince became hostile toward the King of Chambord.
That day, the enraged King of Chambord barged into St. Petersburg with his invincible power and put an end to the conflict by giving the Elder Prince one punch, shocking the entire empire. Before he left, he said, "This is disappointing."
Many people thought about it and felt like it was said to Elder Princess Tanasha.
Here's Why You Should Never Squash a Centipede

No one knew what effect that had on the Elder Princess, and no one knew how the Elder Princess viewed the King of Chambord: A tool? An ally? Or a close friend?
The only observable fact was that the Elder Princess started to disappear in people's view with the claim that her illness was getting worse. Even the most trusted subordinates of the Elder Prince never saw the Zenit's Goddess of Intelligence again.
Rumors said that the Elder Prince and the Elder Princess were no longer close due to the King of Chambord. This pair of brother and sister, where one had the best military talent and the other had the most intelligent brain, seemed to have parted ways. They were close and were the perfect partners who dominated St. Petersburg and Zenit, but that seemed to be in the past.
All kinds of rumors were passed around.
However, the truth was never as simple as it seemed on the surface.
In the Elder Princess Estate where few people could be seen, the Elder Princess, who was wearing a white, sleeveless traditional dress, was sitting in a bamboo chair quietly in the back garden under a lush and fragrant tree. Her surroundings were green, and she looked up at the faint blue sky as if she were thinking and waiting for something. Deep inside her beautiful, crystal-blue eyes that looked like an ocean and could see through everything, there was a faint sorrow which was hard to detect.
In her purple dress, Ziene who was valiant and high spirited stood by Tanasha's side quietly.
"Right now, Arshavin should be taking action, right?" Elder Princess Tanasha sighed and asked in a low voice.
"In the most recent report that we got, everything at the Imperial Military Headquarters is under Elder Prince His Highness' control. Don't worry; no force in St. Petersburg could match [Iron Blood Legion]. In terms of military talent, the Elder Prince is also at the top." Ziene comforted Tanasha.
"Eh, that is good." Tanasha nodded and said, "Inform Paris; they can start moving as well."
"Your Highness, the Imperial Patrol always stood against us; it is under the control of the Second Prince His Highness. Will they fully support us? This operation has no room for error." Ziene reminded her.
"Don't worry; Paris isn't stupid, and she knows the importance of this. Also, that person should be by Paris' side. He will make sure that this operation is successful." The worry in Elder Princess Tanasha's eyes intensified at this moment.
"That person… you mean?" Ziene seemed to know whom the Elder Princess was referring to.
Chapter 855: The Night of Bleeding (Part One)
-Imperial Patrol-
This was a dominant force in St. Petersburg, and it was only slightly inferior compared to the Imperial Military Headquarters. The buildings here were majestic, and they looked like a dense forest.
The soldiers of the Imperial Patrol usually only wore light armor and casual uniforms, but they were all changed into thick armor now, and with weapons drawn. Close to 70% of the force which was in charge of keeping St. Petersburg safe were here. The soldiers all looked serious, and the atmosphere was intense.
In the grand hall deep inside the main building, there was [Demonic Woman] Paris who was no longer in a long dress but white leather armor. Her long blonde hair looked like a golden waterfall, and a vibrant and fresh rose that had dew on it was on her ear, making she look more stunning than ever.
Right now, her slender hands held a double-handed sword, and her beautiful face looked murderous. Her appearance that was valiant and gorgeous was quite shocking.
[Red Beard] Granello who was silent and had cold light in his eyes was in a strange state; it looked like he couldn't wait to do something, and it was rare for him. Standing behind Paris, he was fully armed. Right now, the mask on his strangely-shaped silver helmet was lifted, and the chilliness and gloominess that were usually seen on his face were gone. Instead, he looked brave and heroic.
These two important figures who were like the left arm and right arm to Second Prince Dominguez both appeared in the headquarters of Imperial Patrol, and their expressions were serious, showing that something big was about to take place.
Standing beside them, there was a figure who was enveloped by a black cloak. He was silent, and he was mysterious.
Suddenly, a murderous soldier quickly walked into the hall and reported that all the Imperial Patrol was ready.
"The time is here. Let's move according to the previous plan." Paris walked out of the hall in the lead as she dragged the double-handed sword.
"Are the people of [Iron Blood Legion] trustworthy?" Granello asked and tried to remind Paris.
"They are trustworthy this time." The Demonic Woman walked out of the hall without even turning back.
Hearing her words, Granello took a deep breath and looked at the black-cloaked man beside him. He wanted to say something but held back his tongue. Then, a determined light flashed in his eyes, and he pulled down the silver mask and closed the helmet. Like a silver-armored battle god, he walked out of the hall while his metal armor created a series of metal-grinding noises.
That mysterious man in the black cloak followed Granello quietly like a shadow.
In less than ten minutes, close to 10,000 fully-armed elite soldiers of Imperial Patrol moved out of the buildings in the area, and they divided into four to five groups, and they moved toward different directions in St. Petersburg like a black flood that flowed into different streams.

-Year 10,342 of the Continental Human Era and Year 85 of the Imperial Calendar, Capital St. Petersburg started to bleed in the night of June 9th–
The night of bleeding.
Various historians, traveling poets, and academics of the later generation had different views and comments about this [Night of Bleeding], but they agreed on one thing – This night signified the beginning of the powerful military dictatorship of Zenit that lasted a long time.
[TL Note: the military dictatorship doesn't mean the same since all the empires on Azeroth were all already dictatorships to various degrees.]
Thank to this high-degree of military dictatorship, this little empire in the Northern Region of Zenit was able to last until the end of the Chaos Era where all kinds of war were happening on the continent.
The history books that were written by the royal historians documented and described the event well.
Chapter 855: The Night of Bleeding (Part Two)
"This was a night filled with impossibilities and executions. The two princes who were fighting for the throne viciously, Arshavin and Dominguez, joined forces and coordinated with each other for the only time in their lives. Together, they raised the slaughter knife toward the corrupt nobles who had enjoyed honors and privileges in the past. On the other hand, the nobles who were conspiring with each other weren't aware of the situation at all. The forces under the control of the two princes instantly destroyed all forces that were uncertain about Zenit and tried to surrender to enemies, including the noble families who had sworn loyalty to the two princes. In this night of bleeding, many ancient noble families were turned to ashes. Without a doubt, this night was the biggest operation that Zenit had toward the execution of corrupt nobles. This was also a ruthless and cruel purification. If the Zenit Empire wanted to survive in this Chaos Era, severing the rotten and corroded tumors was necessary. The two intelligent princes reached an agreement on this issue, and that was the foundation to their cooperation."
Some of the historians and academics thought about this event even deeper.
"Ever since the sharp rise of the King of Chambord, the practice of mass execution of corrupt nobles began to spread. It is hard to say that the King of Chambord didn't have a part in the [Night of Bleeding]. After more than 100 years of growth, Zenit had turned from an affiliated kingdom to an empire, and its ancient body started to get old and decay; it was in urgent need of a drastic and cleansing transformation.
The incident of the King of Chambord being accused of betraying humans was the catalyst for this purification. Of course, Emperor Yassin's silence also gave indirect permission for this operation to some degree.
For the last while, people couldn't understand the attitude that the genius Emperor Yassin had toward the princes. They also couldn't figure out why this wise ruler was so tolerant toward the King of Chambord who was unpredictable. All these secrets were only revealed toward the end of the Chaos Era.
…
The Imperial Senate was a powerful force that couldn't be ignored, and many noble forces were controlling it.
When the empire was just established, the Imperial Senate was created to pull in and comfort the nobles and various local forces. When Emperor Yassin was in his prime, this organization was a poor decorative piece in the political sphere. It was for many old nobles to spend the last moment of their lives here.
However, as Emperor Yassin's strength suddenly dropped from his prime, and he started to let go of control over a lot of things due to his illness, the Imperial Senate began to have the power that it wasn't intended to have! The nobles started to divide up the power and privilege of the Royal Family and the Imperial Military Headquarters, and it began to have significant influence over the critical decisions of Zenit. It was like the second powerhouse right after the Royal Family.
In the decision regarding the treatment of King Alexander of Chambord, the Imperial Senate had been trying to push the narrative. The nobles who didn't want their interests to be harmed wanted to keep everything the same, and they didn't want a total outbreak of wars. In order not to get in the full-on conflict with an aggressive figure like D'Alessandro, the nobles didn't hesitate to trade away the interests of Zenit.
Yesterday, the Imperial Senate invited the envoys of the 22 empires into the meeting.
The arrogant and greedy nobles continued to challenge the majesty of the Royal Family, and it brought them deadly trouble.
When the news of merciless executions happening in the Imperial Military Headquarters and the homes of various nobles reached the Imperial Senate, the residences of the main members as well as the main structures of the Imperial Senate were all surrounded by the soldiers of [Iron Blood Legion] or the Imperial Patrol who had a lot of blood on them.
Shouts resonated in the sky, and the terrified and panicking nobles who were in their fancy clothes all became ghosts under the blades of soldiers.
