994 - 1005.1

Chapter 994: Who Are You? (Part One)

Fei moved forward for a few more hundred kilometers, and the same thing happened several times.

Unfortunately for Fei, the mysterious master who continued to monitor him was powerful, and this person's technique was advanced as well. He could always make the demon beasts that he controlled to self-detonate before Fei could find any clues.

The king was frustrated, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Although I didn't make any discoveries, I have a feeling that I'm getting closer and closer to this mysterious master who is secretly monitoring me." An expectant smile appeared on Fei's face.

It seemed like this mysterious master held no ill-intentions, and the king looked forward to meeting this person.

After Fei reached Hell Mode level 100 with his Druid character, he had never met anyone better at controlling animals and plants than him.

"Hu!"

With one leap, Werewolf Fei dashed over more than 1,000 meters and lightly landed on a dry tree branch that was hanging in mid-air.

At this moment, a faint-yellow ring of light suddenly appeared without any noise, perfectly landing on Fei's head and locking him inside.

Then, unprecedented fatigue rushed through Fei's central nervous system. As if his limbs and torso were glued to something, simply walking forward became very difficult.

Suddenly, a big green net fell from the sky and tried to enveloped Fei. It had a mysterious aura and seemed like it could seal everything in the world. Without question, if Fei got captured inside the green net, he would lose his mobility and power, becoming a powerless sheep.

Fei was shocked, and he unleashed all his strength to fight back. Werewolf Fei's agility rose quickly, and he dodged this green net at the last moment.

Then, before he could land on the ground, a fast, lightning-like phantom charged at the king, creating a strong wind.

Werewolf Fei swung his paws and battled this figure. This opponent had mighty strength, and his speed wasn't inferior compared to Werewolf Fei. The king was knocked back repeatedly and fell toward the ground.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Here's Why You Should Never Kill a Centipede

The thick vines that coiled around the giant trees suddenly became agile and shot toward Fei like long pythons; it seemed as if they had lives of their own. In just a split second, the king got wrapped up like a green zongzi.

[TL Note: Zongzi is a traditional Chinese rice dish made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves.]

Bam!

The thick vines only lasted about three seconds before Fei broke out.

As the vines broke into many pieces, Fei roared and dashed out like a meteorite.

At this moment, a resonating song echoed in the forest. It wasn't sung with the common language on the Azeroth Continent today but with an ancient language that was filled with vicissitude.

This song was exotic and beautiful, and the faint-yellow ring of light around Fei suddenly emitted streaks of eye-piercing light flames.

Fei instantly felt like the sense of being stuck in a swamp intensified; this was a curse light ring that reduced his speed and lowered his strength.

Bam!

A giant, mountain-like figure broke through the void and appeared in front of Fei, and he stepped forward and struck toward the king's chest with his two hands that looked like two giant axes.

Without enough time to react, the king could only clench his fists and fight back.

Boom!

The terrifying energy wave expanded and dashed in all directions. Dozens of giant trees were broke in half, some of the stinky, muddy liquid in the swamps got sent into the air, and the poisonous bugs and pythons in them were shattered into dust.

"Such power! He is even stronger than Shaarawy!"

Chapter 994: Who Are You? (Part Two)

Since the king was negatively affected by the curse light ring, his punch didn't contain his full force, and he was knocked back.

Next, a series of wolf howls sounded in the area. A werewolf suddenly flashed around Fei, and the two curved sabers in his hands seemed to have come to life. They sent out many green wind blades, making Fei have a hard time dealing with this situation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Several more air-piercing noises resonated in the forest.

Fei felt numb and looked down, and he saw a black monster that was about three meters tall shooting out silver needles. These needles were too fast to believe! When the king heard the noises made by them, the needles already landed on him.

Nueey

Although the silver needles only got about one centimeter deep into Fei's flesh, it made him numb and soft as if they were anesthetic needles.

"Huh? Do they want to capture me alive? Where did this monster come from?"

Fei's body swayed a little, and then his eyes closed as he fell onto the ground.

Then, another green net fell from the sky and landed on Fei. As it wriggled and tightened, it wrapped around the king again like a zongzi. This time, Fei wasn't able to break out.

"Alright, the mission is completed. This little guy is small, but he is so hard to deal with. All of us moved, and he still lasted so long," one of the mysterious figures laughed, "Let's bring him to Mr. Nash."

There were five people in this group.

The strange-looking man was more than two meters tall and muscular, and he grabbed Fei who was tied inside the net as he dashed away like a flash of lightning. His peers followed him and jumped between trees, moving further away.

About 20 minutes later, they arrived at a well-hidden location in the forest.

A wooden pillar with mysterious engravings released a streak of mystical energy, enveloping an area of fewer than 200 meters around it.

"Sir, we brought him back." This group of masters threw Fei to the ground and bowed at the figure who was quietly sitting beside the wooden pillar.

"I saw everything." The figure beside the wooden pillar nodded.

This man looked thin, but he was handsome. He looked to be about 40 years old, and he wore a pure-white robe. Right now, he was sitting down cross-legged, and a red scepter was placed on his knees.

The strange thing about this man was that his ears looked like fox ears, bigger than ordinary humans'. Also, they were covered by dense red fur.

The fur on this man's ears merged with his red hair. Instead of making him look ugly, his ears added to his indescribable and mysterious elegance.

"Hahaha! Great Priest Nash, this guy is interesting. All five of us had to move together to bring him back."

Fox-eared Nash smiled and shook his head, and he said, "I saw the entire process. However, it is he who wanted to come with you. Otherwise, the five of you couldn't have stopped him."

Then, Nash looked at Fei and laughed, "Friend, since you are here, how about you get up and introduce yourself?"

Bam! Bam! Bam! While Nash laughed, Fei jumped up, and the big green net around him broke into pieces and fell to the ground.

"What is going on?"

"How did this happen?"

Those five figures were shocked; they couldn't believe that the person, who they captured together and was locked inside the Spider Clan's innate green net, was still able to break out.

In an instant, they dashed over and surrounded Fei.

Fei was still in his werewolf form, and he didn't move right away. Instead, he asked them this question using the common language on the continent during the Mythical Era.

"Who are you?"

The king already had some ideas as to these people's origins.

Chapter 995: The Tribe in the Legends (Part One)

"Since you already guessed it, why are you still asking?"

Fox-eared Nash smiled and signaled his peers not to get worried. When he talked to the people around him, he was using a rare language from the Mythical Era. However, it was clear that he could understand the commonly used language during the Mythical Era. When he heard Fei's words, he changed to this language during the Mythical Era, and he was smooth with it.

Fei's heart slowly sunk, and he asked, "The orcs?"

The king was shocked by what he saw! They finally appeared!

The Behemoth Orc Tribe that hadn't appeared on the continent all this time finally showed themselves!

Before, Fei was guessing that the orcs had gone extinct since they weren't great at magic and couldn't create a small world of their own. The king thought that they had disappeared from this world for good and would never come back. Regarding the legend of the [Ancient Path of Blood and Tears], Fei discussed the topic with Akinfeev and thought it was only a rumor.

Now from the looks of things, it turned out that the Behemoth Orc Tribe also survived that catastrophe during the end of the Mythical Era.

After combining the information that he learned from the legends on the continent, Fei already had a vague idea. Unlike other races such as elves, goblins, dwarfs, gnomes, and dragons, who were all great at magic, the orcs could have only opened a path in the Endless Sea of Forests and created a road to survival using the lives of many members, and they survived through that catastrophe.

The Behemoth Orc Tribe traveled past the Endless Sea of Forests which was rumored that even gods might die when trying to pass through, and they found a home on the other side to survive and pass down their bloodlines.

It seemed like the legendary ancient path wasn't a rumor after all.

It only vaguely documented the tragic history of the orcs that happened about 1,000 years ago.

Out of everyone in front of Fei, the fox-eared, middle-aged man didn't have many features of a typical orc master. Except for the unique ears and the exceptionally handsome face, everything else on his body looked no different from humans. However, everyone else was different.

One man was about three meters tall, and he was dark and muscular with a lot of hair. It was clear that he had features of the bear family. He kept about ten percent the features of a black bear, and he almost turned into a black bear when he was in combat. It was this man who punched Fei and sent the king flying. He should be a master of the Bear Clan.

Except for this big guy, some warriors had leopard patterns when they were in combat, ape warriors who kept features of giant apes, wolf warriors who could turn into werewolves, and spider warriors who had compound eyes, three heads, and six arms. Also, the black warrior who almost numbed Fei to sleep should be a porcupine warrior.

These orc masters were all mighty. Just from their auras, Fei could tell that they were mostly at peak Burning Sun Realm. Since Fei was using his Druid character and was also at peak Burning Sun Realm, he couldn't tell if they had become demi-gods.

These orc masters' looks brought Fei a great shock. As a result, the king didn't know what to say after asking the first question. He was trying to think fast and figure out a proper response to this.

Seeing Fei suddenly waking up, the dozens of orc warriors instantly became cautious as if they were facing a powerful enemy. After a series of different kinds of b—–l roars, they quickly finished their transformation; it was a process of turning from human-like to beast-like.

Chapter 995: The Tribe in the Legends (Part Two)

This was in line with the legends. The orcs should all have their own atavistic transformation abilities. After transforming, their strength would increase a lot, and they could use some of the unique, species-specific skills.

These orc warriors instantly surrounded Fei.

"Don't worry, warriors of the Behemoth Orc Tribe; back off. Beast God already told me that he doesn't have any bad intentions."

Fox-eared Nash was calm from the beginning to now, and he always had a faint smile on his face.

Even Fei had to admit that this man had an innately warm, friendly, and noble aura. His temperament was even above Fei's father-in-law Bast who paid close attention to his actions and behaviors. This fox-eared, middle-aged man could make others feel close and intimate towards him.

This man was wearing a simple white robe with patterns of the moon and stars on it, and he slowly stood up while holding onto a red scepter. His appearance was outstanding, and he should be a handsome orc who was loved by many girls when he was young. Even though he was middle-aged now, he was still impressive, and many mature orc women probably sought after him.

Hearing his words, other orc warriors all bowed and moved back. However, that dashing wolf warrior was still doubtful and reminded Nash, "Great Priest Nash, please be careful. This man is powerful."

"Don't worry." Nash was still as calm as a lake during a windless day.

Then, this fox-eared, middle-aged man slowly got close to Fei, and confusion appeared in his eyes that were filled with wisdom and vicissitude.

"I'm sorry, warrior. It was me who asked O'Neal and others to bring you here. If this offended you, I, Great Priest Nash of the Fox Clan, apologize to you."

Then, this man slightly bowed at the king.

After that, Nash continued, "I'm perplexed. I have sensed a very familiar aura from you; you seem to be a member of the Behemoth Orc Tribe. However, how come I have never seen you in Vangaal City?"

A thought flashed in Fei's mind like a bolt of lightning.

"My Druid character is naturally close with animals and plants, and I'm in the werewolf form right now, looking no different from these orcs. Could it be that these orcs think I'm one of their peers?"

Fei didn't say anything but slightly waved his hand.

The orc masters were on guard on the side, and Fei's movement instantly made them nervous. They instantly let out a series of deep roars.

Clearly, Fei had left a deep impression in these orc masters' minds; they subconsciously treated Fei as a very dangerous character. Also, Great Priest Nash of the Fox Clan whose good-looks would even make the Beast God jealous held an important position in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and these orc masters had to guarantee his safety.

You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today

Nueey

Fortunately, these orc masters' worst fear didn't occur; Fei didn't suddenly attack.

Instead, a mass of white light flew out of Fei's hand and turned into four. Then, they instantly transformed into four white wolves that were about three meters long and two meters tall. They circled Fei intimately like guards before standing on the king's four sides and looking at the orc masters around them in alertness. Next, they let out a series of deep growls.

All the orc masters including Great Priest Nash gasped at the same time.

"Summon Battle Beast?" Surprise appeared in Great Priest Nash's eyes.

"I didn't guess wrong, haha! You are a descendant of the Behemoth Orc Tribe. Only the children blessed by the Beast God can summon battle beasts. You are a member of the Behemoth Orc Tribe? From your appearance, you should be a member of the Wolf Clan, right? How come you are in this forest?"

Chapter 996: I Am Human (Part One)

After seeing what Fei did, other orc masters looked at Fei with gentler gazes. It was obvious that they thought Fei was one of them.

However, Fei didn't respond.

With the king's shameless personality, if he could, he would pretend to be an orc warrior, get along with this team of orc masters, and get as much information about the Behemoth Orc Tribe as he could.

If the Behemoth Orc Tribe wanted to come back to the continent, Chambord was going to be the first stop that they would run into if they walked out of the Endless Sea of Forests.

The king wasn't sure about the attitude that the Behemoth Orc Tribe had towards humans. If they were hostile toward humans, Chambord might face a terrifying war.

Unfortunately, Fei couldn't fake being an orc warrior forever; his Druid character's skill [Werewolf] had a time limit. With his current strength at Hell Mode level 100, he could only maintain the werewolf form for about 24 hours.

After thinking for a while, Fei decided to be honest and open about it; he was going to expose his identity as a human. He didn't need to worry about his safety since he could leave at any time; none of the orc masters here could stop him. In the worst-case scenario, he could test out the attitude that orcs had toward humans.

Therefore, Fei canceled the effect of [Werewolf] and returned to his human form in the next moment.

"What? A human?"

"How is this possible?"

Seeing Fei's appearance changing, the orc masters couldn't help but gasp; they couldn't comprehend what just took place.

Even the handsome priest of the Fox Clan was surprised, and his face changed color.

Fei gradually calmed down a bit. After he switched back to his human form, the orc masters were surprised but didn't show any strong hostility.

"It seems like the behemoth orcs' impression of humans isn't that bad. Could it be that the two races weren't enemies in the Mythical Era?" Fei thought.

To these orc masters, the shock didn't end there.

After Fei removed the effect of [Werewolf], he used the Druid skill [Werebear].

The king's body suddenly enlarged! While he was engulfed in the silver light, his body increased in size by about four times. Fine brown fur grew out of his skin, and he turned into a half-human, half-bear creature who was about six meters tall. He had a bear head but a human-shaped body.

"Bear Clan?" The wolf warrior who was quite fond of Fei was shocked, and his expression changed.

"How is this possible? Isn't he a member of the Wolf Clan?" Battier, the master of the Spider Clan, gasped, and shock filled his compound eyes.

The master of the Ape Clan subconsciously poked the dark-skinned master of the Bear Clan beside him, and he said, "Hey, O'Neal, is he your long-lost brother? How come he knows the [Atavistic Transformation] of your Bear Clan? You two look similar. However, his brown fur looks prettier than your black fur."

O'Neal of the Bear Clan scratched the back of his head using his big bear paw, and he said in his deep voice while looking charmingly naïve, "Eh, yeah. I didn't think that… Hey, Little Bro, are you really a member of the Bear Clan? Wait, how come I have never seen you before in the clan?"

Fei smiled but didn't respond to O'Neal's question; this big man left a good impression in his mind.

The king waved his hand, and a giant yellow bear appeared by his side after a white light flashed by. Then, it roared at the orc masters around Fei.

Chapter 996: I Am Human (Part Two)

This time, the eyes of the orc masters almost popped out of their eye sockets.

"Battle beasts of two different clans?"

"What is going on? Could it be that he has both the wolf clan bloodline and bear clan bloodline?"

"This is impossible! Battle beasts of two clans, yet he can keep the appearance of a human. Is he the most beloved child of Beast God?"

Like a flock of sparrows that were poked by someone, the orc masters suddenly started to chatter and talk amongst themselves. With a shocked expression on their faces, they looked at Fei like how a person on Earth would react if a prehistoric dinosaur suddenly appeared.

Seeing this, Fei instantly put these orc masters in the same category as bumpkins.

The only person who was relatively calm was Great Priest Nash of the Fox Clan.

This handsome, middle-aged fox-man lightly chanted something and asked, "I'm even more confused. Sir, please tell us. Are you a human? Or a behemoth orc?"

To these orcs, what they saw was unbelievably rare.

In the history of the Behemoth Orc Tribe, it was rare to see a mixed-blood orc who had the bloodline of both the Wolf Clan and the Bear Clan. The main reason was that these two clans were the main battle clans in the tribe; they were the king clans. They all had strong pride and honor, so it was rare to see a marriage between members of the two clans.

Also, even if two orcs from different clans got married, their descendants could only keep the features and innate skills of one of the parents almost 100 percent of the time.

In the worst-case scenario, some of the descendants of interspecies marriages were beasts without high-level intelligence. The orcs called them 'beast relatives'.

Therefore, when Fei showed his appearance as a werewolf and werebear and summoned giant white wolves and a giant brown bear, these dozens of orc masters felt like the world that they knew collapsed.

All the orc masters were waiting for Fei's answer.

"I'm human." Fei smiled and replied to Nash. After he removed the effect of [Werebear] and pulled back the summoned beasts, he said earnestly, "I'm Alexander, the Lord of the Chambord Kingdom which is a level 1 affiliated kingdom of the Zenit Empire in the Northern Region of Azeroth."

This answer pulled Nash and other orc masters into disbelief, and they were extremely disappointed. To them, this mysterious person's identity as a king and stuff was meaningless. The only thing they cared about was that this man who could summon two kinds of battle beasts wasn't a member of the Behemoth Orc Tribe but a human.

"How is this possible?" the orc masters all screamed in their minds.

"Since you are a human, how come you know the Atavistic Transformations of the Wolf Clan and the Bear Clan, and how can you summon battle beasts which are unique to behemoth orcs?" Great Priest Nash of the Fox Clan asked unwillingly.

This time, Fei's answer wasn't as straightforward. "I don't know. When I was 18 years old, I suddenly obtained these techniques as if I were born with them."

This answer was factually true yet very misleading.

Even if the orc masters investigated this claim on the Azeroth Continent, they couldn't find anything wrong.

The entire Azeroth Continent knew that Human Emperor Alexander of the North was an idiot before turning 18 years old. Only when he was 18 years old did he suddenly show unparalleled talent and quickly became a young lord.

"Huh?" Great Priest Nash was clearly misled by the trap in the king's words. As if he suddenly thought of something, he asked in surprise, "Suddenly obtaining the skills? Could it be a Bloodline Memory Inheritance?"

Chapter 997: Go with Me (Part One)

Right after Great Priest Nash said that, it seemed like he realized something, and he got even more confused. He said, "That shouldn't be the case. Only dragons and special orcs can have Bloodline Memory Inheritance. The special orcs are the royal behemoth orcs who already went extinct. Could it be…"

"Could it be that he is a descendant of the Behemoth Royal Clan?" Ginóbili, the master of the Wolf Clan, picked up where Nash left off and asked.

However, as soon as he said that, he shook his head and murmured in self-mockery, "If he is a descendant of the Behemoth Royal Clan, he should have the Bloodline Memory Inheritance and innate skills of the Behemoth Royal Clan. He shouldn't have the skills of the Bear Clan and the Wolf Clan. What is going on?"

Fei didn't say anything; he was thinking about how he should handle this situation. He hoped that the orcs wouldn't launch a massive invasion of the Northern Region like what the goblins did in the Southern Region.

If there were a way to become friends with these orcs, that might help with the situation.

"I have stated my identity. Isn't it time for you to say where you are from?"

Fei stared at Great Priest Nash. From the series of behaviors of the orc masters, it was evident that this middle-aged fox-man was the core of this team; he was like the brain of the team.

The king asked in all seriousness, "Is the Behemoth Orc Tribe going to return to the continent as well?"

"I heard you use the words 'as well'." Great Priest Nash smiled mildly, but the king saw a cunning light in his eyes. Nash followed up with a question, "So, other than humans, other races have returned to the continent as well, right?"

Fei was a little surprised. After a moment of thought, he told these orcs about the situation on the continent.

Clearly, his honesty and direct attitude won the respect and acceptance of these orc masters.

"So, from what you said, it seems like out of all the powerful races in the Mythical Era, only the orcs haven't shown up yet? In the last 1,000 years, humans have been dominating over this land? Where did those devils go? They all disappeared?" Great Priest Nash was extremely shocked.

Fei picked up a few key points from what Nash said.

After a pause, Great Priest Nash answered Fei's previous question.

"Just like what you are seeing, we are members of the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and we are from the [Banished Land] which is far away from the Azeroth Continent. These are the most powerful warriors from the main battle clans in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and I'm a great priest from the Beast God Palace. We came to this terrifying Blood-Colored Forest since we want to know if the laws of nature on the current Azeroth Continent have been restored to 1,000 years ago as the ancient shaman of the Behemoth Orc Tribe has predicted. We are trying to see if the Azeroth Continent is suitable for the Behemoth Orc Tribe to live in again. We are trying to find our way home."

When Nash said the last sentence, Fei clearly sensed the indescribable sadness and expectation in his tone.

It sounded like a young man, who had roamed around the world for ages, desired to return to his homeland.

Chapter 997: Go with Me (Part Two)

After a slight sigh, Fei replied, "Right now, the Azeroth Continent is in chaos. Wars are happening everywhere, the Holy Church's structure is collapsing, and all races are moving in secret. Death is everywhere. Even the [Undead Godly Shrine] that had disappeared for many years seems to be active; people have recently seen undead mages wandering the land. As the Chaos Era is about to begin, why would the orcs want to return and get involved in the chaos if you already found a place to live?"

Great Priest Nash shook his head and said, "That is because you don't know how the Behemoth Orc Tribe survived through the last 1,000 years. Regardless of the situation, the Behemoth Orc Tribe must return! No matter what the cost is."

"So, you guys are the scouts?" Fei didn't try to dissuade them, and he changed the topic.

"That is right. We are the herald squad. After all, 1,000 years had passed, and we don't know what the situation is on the continent. Before the entire tribe moves back, we need to be prepared." This great priest of the Fox Clan didn't deny it.

It was clear that Fei's honesty, as well as his Druid skills such as [Werewolf] and [Werebear], earned him the trust of the orcs. This conversation went on smoothly; both parties didn't try to hide anything.

The Behemoth Orc Tribe wasn't far off from the records on the ancient documents.

Although the Behemoth Orc Tribe didn't lack highly-intelligent species such as the Fox Clan, the Tiger Clan, and the Lion Clan, they were passionate and welcoming. Like a bunch of straightforward and caring people from the west, they were used to honesty and sincerity, and they instinctively hated lies and deception. This tribe liked resolving issues through violence, using their fists to argue, and viewing honor higher than their lives.

"This place is about 250,000 kilometers away from the edge of the Northern Region of Azeroth. I know the shortest way, and I can be your guide. Do you want to go to my kingdom and check it out?" Fei thought for a moment and invited these orcs; he was willing to be a guide this time.

[Support the translators and read on Noodletown Translations for free.]

After getting to know each other, Fei's desire to befriend the orcs got even stronger.

In most cases, friendship was more effective at resolving a war compared to swords and sabers.

The orc masters all got excited after hearing Fei's suggestion, and they looked at the great priest of the Fox Clan, hoping that he would agree.

Even O'Neal, the dull, simple-minded master of the Bear Clan, couldn't hold back his excitement.

These orcs finally saw the hope of returning to the continent! It was the goal of their entire tribe for the last 1,000 years, and it was about to be achieved. Some orc masters even had tears in their eyes.

With their cultivation strength, their minds should be as steady as the surface of a lake during a windless day, but the excitement that they showed…

It was clear that Fei didn't understand their emotions.

Great Priest Nash looked at Fei, and it seemed like he was trying to make a tough decision.

To these orc masters, even though they learned the background of this man who claimed to be the King of Chambord, it was still risky to enter human society with him.

After all, 1,000 years had passed since their tribe touched the Azeroth Continent last time, and they knew nothing about the world on the other side of the Endless Sea of Forests. Although they heard Fei's words, they couldn't be sure.

Also, the powerful strength that Fei showcased shocked the orc masters, and they thought, "Only the king of an affiliated kingdom is already this powerful? Could it be that the combined strength of humans is at an insane level?"

"Ok, we will go with Your Majesty. Sorry for all the trouble." Great Priest Nash finally made the decision.

Chapter 998: Are These Really for Us? (Part One)

Fei heaved a sigh of relief.

Since the orcs were willing to follow him back to Chambord City, it meant that they weren't hostile toward humans; this was a great sign. In this chaotic world, no one wanted to make a powerful tribe into their enemy. One more ally was equal to one more opportunity to extend and pass down the bloodline.

The orcs got ready to move, and they started to pack up.

Now, Fei got a chance to observe this simple campsite.

It was clear that the orcs were used to the tough lifestyle of camping in the wilderness; their standard of living wasn't that high. In this campsite, except for a few simple tents, the most eye-catching thing was a thick pillar that had some mysterious runes engraved onto it. It emitted a type of mystical power, enveloping the entire campsite.

At this moment, Fei realized that in the last half an hour or so, no demon beasts appeared around the campsite, and the poisonous bugs and mosquitos that were everywhere in the forest weren't seen here either. It should be due to the power of this mysterious-patterned thick pillar.

"This is a giant totem pole," Great Priest Nash explained.

"The orcs can't cultivate warrior energy, and our talent in magic is weaker than a human child. Therefore, the Behemoth Orc Tribe was in a passive situation when battling other races. Fortunately, the Beast God didn't abandon his subjects; we obtained the third type of power aside from warrior energy and magic energy – the power of totem."

Then, Nash lowered his head and sang an ear-pleasing song.

The giant golden pillar lightly shook, and the runes on it shivered like the tadpoles that were swimming in the water. Like words written in pencil that were erased, the runes gradually disappeared from the pillar.

As the mysterious runes disappeared, the golden pillar changed. It had been golden, but now it became an ordinary wooden pillar. It was clear that it was chopped from a tree in the forest, and it still had green branches on it. Without the support of the mysterious power, the wooden pillar fell to the ground.

The mysterious power that enveloped the campsite disappeared alongside the runes.

"So, this is the power of totem. By using mysterious songs to stimulate the natural elements, orcs can attach natural elements to a medium and create natural elemental patterns to unleash this third type of power," Fei thought to himself.

In the ancient documents and scrolls that were passed around the continent, they all recorded the existence of the power of totem. It was described as a power that could rival with warrior energy and magic energy, and only Behemoth Orc Tribe could use it.

However, as the orcs vanished from the continent, this power hadn't appeared on the continent for the last 1,000 years. Fei was even surprised that he got to see it today.

There weren't many useful things in the campsite. It was clear that these orcs were poor. As peak Burning Sun Lords, they didn't even have spatial storage rings. The two big orcs, O'Neal of the Bear Clan and Nowitzki of the Bull Clan, carried all the items required to build the campsite, and the other orc masters didn't have anything precious other than the simple armor and weapons.

Only Great Priest Nash's red scepter had the faint power of totem. It seemed like this priest of the Beast God Palace held a high status in the Behemoth Orc Tribe.

After everything was packed up, the group got on the road.

However, Great Priest Nash was careful. Instead of bringing everyone in the team, he asked Ginóbili of the Wolf Clan and Battier of the Spider Clan to go back the way they came and report their whereabouts to the tribe in the [Banished Land].

Chapter 998: Are These Really for Us? (Part Two)

This way, even if this team of orc masters got tricked and captured, at least the Behemoth Orc Tribe would know where they were.

Fei already expected this level of guard and caution, so he didn't say anything about it. If their positions were switched, Fei would do the same thing.

After everything was planned, Fei brought these bumpkin-like orcs toward the Chambord Kingdom from the same way that he came.

On the way, Fei talked to the orc masters and learned that they were the cause behind the upheaval of the demon beasts in the Endless Sea of Forests. These orc masters could use something called [Fear Totem], and it would shock demon beasts and scare them away.

[Fear Totem] was crucial to the continuation of the Behemoth Orc Tribe.

If it weren't for this type of power of totem, all the orcs who moved through the Endless Sea of Forests 1,000 years ago would have died under the sharp teeth and claws of the terrifying demon beasts. Even though [Fear Totem] was useful, it didn't work on all demon beasts; godly demon beasts, which were one level above emperor-level demon beasts, wouldn't be affected by such power of totem.

Just like what the legends and rumors had stated, 90 percent of the orc population died in that giant migration. More than 20 clans in the Behemoth Orc Tribe went extinct in that bloody and tragic move.

This team of peak Burning Sun Realm orc masters only got this far safely in the Endless Sea of Forests by using [Fear Totem].

Dashing forward on the ground for about 120,000 kilometers took this group about half a day. When they were closer to the outer edge of the Endless Sea of Forests, powerful demon beasts reduced in number, and these masters could fly in the sky again.

The closer they were to the edge of the Azeroth Continent, the more excited that these orc masters were.

Like children who left home for too long and tasted all the hardships in the world before finally returning to their homeland and seeing their parents, all orc masters got emotional. If Fei weren't here, they would have howled and cried out loud.

Tears even appeared in the eyes of the priest of the Fox Clan.

Again, Fei couldn't really understand their emotions.

After another half a day, they finally got to the edge of the Endless Sea of Forests.

Looking down from the sky, Chambord City was already vaguely visible.

Fei paused in the air.

"You guys look quite different from humans. You need to change your attires." Fei took out more than a dozen set of armor and clothes that were suitable for the orc masters.

However, his action shocked the bumpkin-like orc masters, and they gasped as they stared at Fei's ring; some of them even started to drool.

"Spatial storage ring?"

Great Priest Nash swallowed his saliva and tried to act calm, but the movement of his Adam's apple betrayed him and showed his shock.

Spatial storage items were too precious in the [Banished Land], and it was hard to purchase as there was a strong demand but a lack of supply.

"This human king of an affiliated kingdom can easily take out rare treasures that only the nobles in our tribe have. Could it be that the strength of humans is unimaginably powerful?" the priest of the Fox Clan thought to himself.

Then, the 'bumpkins' were again shocked by the items that Fei took out of his ring.

"Are these… really for us?" O'Neal of the Bear Clan looked at Fei and asked in disbelief.

"Of course." Fei nodded and replied.

Now, the orc masters looked at Fei in a different light.

The last bit of guard and caution in these poor orc masters' minds were about to disappear.

"Such precious gifts! Are humans this friendly and kind now?"

However, what Fei said next made these poor orcs feel embarrassed. Aside from getting a little angry due to shame, they almost wanted to tear this damn human apart to cover their ignorance and impoverished situation.

Chapter 999: The Poor Orcs (Part One)

Fei told the orcs, "Please don't mind these. When I came out, I forgot to bring good items. Therefore… don't worry! When we are back to Chambord City, I will prepare some great items for you and replace these trash items."

"Trash? This guy is saying that these ultimate treasures are trash?" The poor orcs thought to themselves, and they felt like their world got flipped on its head.

The fancy silk clothes that Fei just gave them were extremely rare in the Behemoth Orc Tribe. In the Beast God Palace, since Godly Song Shaman His Highness's godly robe was made of silk, it was treated as an heirloom and got passed down for close to 1,000 years. In fact, the nobles in the Behemoth Orc Tribe felt honored just wearing a simple rough robe.

The silk clothes in front of these orcs were soft like a young woman's skin, and they glared under the sunlight. The orcs were almost all blinded by this.

However, even though the orc masters were surprised by the fancy and luxurious silk clothes, they liked battle and violence, and they had more muscle in their heads instead of brain matter.

Then, Fei took something else. The sets of magic armor were lethal to these orc masters!

Seeing the magic armor and magic equipment that Fei tossed toward them like useless trash, the orcs looked down at their tough and old clothes, and they almost cried. Although the orcs were not as sensitive and were thick-skinned, they couldn't help but feel self-abasement.

Right now, Great Priest Nash who had integrity and self-discipline fell into a conflicting situation for the first time in his life.

He prayed to the Beast God in his mind again and again, telling himself that greed was an original sin, and he shouldn't be tempted by the treasures that this devilish human showed them. As an honorable priest of the Behemoth Orc Tribe, he had to uphold his dignity.

However, his actions completely crushed his logic and betrayed his mind.

As soon as Nash finished praying, this priest of the Behemoth Orc Tribe instantly grabbed a set of magic armor that Fei passed to him and put it on; he looked like a beggar who hadn't eaten for three days and suddenly got a burger.

Seeing this, the king suddenly thought of something, and an 'evil' idea appeared in his mind.

After the orc masters changed into the new clothes and armor, Fei used a hummingbird to send a message to the city, ordering Brook to prepare the residence and supplies for these orcs. They had to make sure that the ordinary citizens of Chambord didn't know about this; it might cause an upheaval. Therefore, the arrival of Nash and others had to keep as a secret.

Of course, Fei didn't hide any of this from the orc masters, just in case a misunderstanding might occur.

Chirp! Chirp! The hummingbird on Fei's arm chirped and disappeared into afar.

The group of people continued their journey.

To prevent any embarrassing incidents from happening, Fei explained the current state of Chambord City to these orc masters in detail. The king told them all the rules that everyone had to follow in the city, and he also expressed his apology since they couldn't appear in public just yet; they could only move around under the lead of the warriors of Chambord.

Nash and other orc masters nodded and understood.

Since they were all masters, this group of people quickly moved past many trees. Soon, they were less than 50 kilometers away from the Back Mountain of Chambord.

A series of drum beats and bugles sounded in the sky. While flags were fluttering on them, three small Xuan'ge broke through the clouds and slowly moved toward them.

Chapter 999: The Poor Orcs (Part Two)

These Xuan'ge were smaller than [Black Pearl] and [Cyclops], but they were stunning to say the least.

Fully armored, loyal, and elite soldiers of Chambord filled the deck of the three Xuan'ge, and their shiny armor and weapons glared under the sun and reflected chilly light. The armor and weapons all had metallic texture, which made the orc masters envious.

The terrifying, vicious, and streamlined flying barges, the powerful magic shields, the mighty auras of the soldiers, the organized formations, and strict military disciple, and the strong generals… everything showed the Chambord Kingdom's power and wealth.

Nash and others were all quite surprised by what they saw.

From the ancient knowledge that they inherited from their ancestors and the information that Fei told them, Great Priest Nash and his peers had a clear understanding of the power dynamics on the continent and the power levels. They knew that affiliated kingdoms weren't that significant in human society, so they were all shocked by the power that Chambord was demonstrating.

The air force was a sign of a powerful nation since only the wealthiest nations could afford it.

Even in the Mythical Era about 1,000 years ago, ships and barges that could fly in the air were rare magic creations.

"Now, even a little human affiliated kingdom has this level of military force. Could it be that the Behemoth Orc Tribe is really now only a weak force on the continent?"

The soldiers on the barges moved the orc masters as well. These soldiers were all at least Five-Star Warriors and Mages.

"Elite flying barge, powerful soldiers, strong equipment, sharp weapons… is this the strength of a human affiliated kingdom? This is equivalent to a medium-sized main battle clan in the Behemoth Orc Tribe."

Great Priest Nash opened his mouth and was about to say something, but his body suddenly froze. His eyes opened so wide that his eyeballs almost rolled out of his eye sockets, and his body shivered as he looked ahead; he looked like he was having a stroke.

The other orc masters looked in the direction that Nash was gazing at, and they were stunned as well as if someone cast freezing spells on them.

Behind the three Xuan'ge, there was a giant black beast that looked like a hellhound from the Abyss of Hell. Then, three giant monsters that had clear dragon features and dragon auras followed the first beast in a line. Like guards, they were protecting the Xuan'ge.

Then, 50 king-level demon beasts of many forms that were huge and vicious flew behind those four giant, terrifying demon beasts. These king-level demon beasts should be reckless and aggressive, but it seemed like they were all tamed under the lead of the warriors of Chambord. Those 50 powerful demon beasts formed a neat formation like a human troop, and they listened to orders.

As the hellhound-like black beast roared, the 50 king-level demon beasts followed and roared along. The noises resonated in the sky, shaking the ground and scaring away the clouds.

The orc masters cried in their minds, "God! A medium-sized main battle clan can't be compared to this kingdom. In fact, even some large king clans can't rival the air force of this human kingdom! The honorable Beast God! Is this the strength of the humans on the continent?"

Great Priest Nash and his peers looked at each other, and they all saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Before this herald team set off, all the tribe members were confident, and some even created plans and claimed that they would return to the continent and conquer all other races, becoming the No.1 Race on Azeroth and building an enormous orc empire.

Now looking back, it seemed like they were truly ignorant and fearless.

Chapter 1000: Showing-Off and the Party (Part One)

"If the humans are this powerful, then when our Behemoth Orc Tribe returns to the continent, we won't even qualified to become an affiliated race!" the orc masters thought to themselves.

For a moment, all orc masters lowered their heads, and they felt complicated. Like mixing all the sauces in the kitchen, they felt a bit of everything. Their grand beliefs and pride seemed to be gradually withering in the strong wind and rain.

"Honorable guests, please come this way." Fei saw this, and he was a little proud; the king's mission was achieved.

Like a sneaky cat that successfully stole a fish, Fei smiled and invited the orc masters to get on the Xuan'ge.

…

Seeing Fei and others' appearances, the drums on the Xuan'ge got beat even harder. Flags were fluttering, people were cheering, and demon beasts were roaring. The scene was grand and majestic.

All of this was Brook's plan.

After receiving Fei's message, Brook understood the importance of this mission aside from being shocked.

To stun the orcs, Chambord used the greeting ceremony of the highest degree to welcome these masters of another race.

Such a grand and sincere scene made Great Priest Nash and other orc masters feel that they were highly appreciated and welcomed, and their fondness of Fei increased even more.

Boom!

When the two giant masters of the Bear Clan and Bull Clan stepped onto one of the Xuan'ge, everyone felt like the barge shook.

The soldiers of Chambord were shocked by the sheer size of the mysterious guests that the king himself received.

However, no one chattered or gasped.

All the soldiers stood at their posts quietly, and their backs were straighter than spears. When the orc masters got on board, even though the soldiers of Chambord were shocked, their eyes didn't move, and their breaths were stable, showing the strict discipline of top-tier fighters.

Here's Why You Should Never Kill a Centipede

Nueey

This surprised Great Priest Nash who was secretly paying attention to the troop of Chambord.

"When looking at their king, love, admiration, and excitement appeared in these human soldiers' eyes; it is like us orcs facing the Beast God. These soldiers have absolute loyalty! Without question, they will do whatever this king says. Even if he asks them to die, they won't pause or hesitate. This is a terrifying troop," Nash thought to himself, and his impression of Fei got even higher. "This human king isn't simple."

Suddenly, Nash captured something that he had overlooked this far.

Great Priest Nash of the Fox Clan wasn't a simple figure. The Fox Clan always represented intelligence in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, and Nash could become one of the ten great priests in the Beast God Palace for a reason; he was one of the most intelligent members of the Fox Clan. He was only misled by Fei a little since the Behemoth Orc Tribe had left the Azeroth Continent for 1,000 years, and he wasn't too familiar with the situation on the continent.

At this moment, Nash suddenly realized that the Chambord Kingdom might only be a level 1 affiliated kingdom, but its strength probably far exceeded the realm of an affiliated kingdom; not all affiliated kingdoms were as powerful as Chambord.

It meant that the orcs couldn't use Chambord as a scale to measure the overall strength of the humans on the continent; this kingdom was only an exception.

After thinking this through, Nash's fear for humans lightened a bit.

The Xuan'ge moved toward the south. Although they passed the sky over the 12 Golden Saint Mountains, they couldn't see the Sky City due to the stealth array that made it invisible. However, the orc masters were still stunned when they saw the majestic and tightly guarded ancient Chambord City.

Chapter 1000: Showing-Off and the Party (Part Two)

Then, the Xuan'ge flew over Zuli River and passed by the new city on the south side of the river, and the orc masters saw the dense population and prosperity. These humans all wore silk clothes and steel armor while holding metal weapons.

The orc masters felt extremely frustrated.

In the [Banished Land], steel and other strategic resources were too rare, and only the high-level warriors were qualified to use metal weapons. Usually, a steel weapon would be treasured and taken good care of, and it would have its unique name and accompany more than a dozen masters.

The master of the Bull Clan had sharp eyes, and he saw a human using a sharp, steel saber to chop firewood in the market below. After using it, the man threw the steel saber to the side and walked away. In the eyes of the orcs, that was a huge crime! It was a great waste!

After passing the new city on the south, the Xuan'ge turned back around and flew to the ancient Chambord City before landing on a small square in the city center.

The two beautiful queens appeared with guards who were in shiny armor and maids who were in beautiful dresses. They were here to welcome the guests.

The king introduced his queens to the orc masters with pride.

"Oh, nice to meet you, Your Highnesses. Your beauty is unrivaled, and even the stars in the sky would be jealous of you two," Great Priest Nash praised sincerely, using the limited adjectives that orcs had to describe Angela and Elena's beauty.

The praise did come from Nash's heart.

The Beast God Palace had ten pure and beautiful saintesses, but even Saintess Sharapova of the Swan Clan and Saintess Eva of the Fox Clan, who were known for their extreme beauty, were inferior compared to these two human beauties.

Nash politely greeted the two queens, and he secretly reminded his peers to watch their words and behaviors so that they wouldn't become a laughingstock.

Since O'Neal of the Bear Clan and Nowitzki of the Bull Clan were simple-minded and were known for their rudeness, Nash was worried that these two would do or say something that would shame the entire Behemoth Orc Tribe. Therefore, he found a good opportunity and told his peers to all close their mouths and just follow him.

"Honorable guests, the kingdom has prepared a welcome party for you. Please come this way."

The sky had turned dark, and the night was coming. Fei gestured and walked in the front with his two queens, and they quickly exited the square and entered a palace where most of the parties and celebrations were held.

It was a good thing that all the structures at Chambord were ancient, enormous, and spacious inside. Therefore, giant orcs like O'Neal of the Bear Clan and Nowitzki of the Bull Clan got through the gate without worrying about hitting their heads on the door frame.

After the introduction, the party began.

Except for the orcs, the high-level officials, the golden saints… overall, all the top-tier forces of Chambord showed up other than the deacons of the [Black-Cloth Shrine] and the Undead Mage.

The orc masters who had been shocked for an entire day were numb to this.

When delicate and delicious food and aromatic and tasty liquor were served, the poor orcs finally looked away from the beautiful armor and weapons that the warriors of Chambord had, and they focused on the food. It felt like a group of hungry beggars entered a giant buffet; they were shocked at first and quickly started devouring.

In the beginning, Great Priest Nash still held himself in check. However, after less than 30 seconds, he couldn't pretend anymore and started devouring as well; he almost bit his tongue.

Fei's father-in-law Bast was quite considerate; delicacies such as bear paws, ox tongues, and leopard legs didn't appear on the menu.

If orcs such as O'Neal and Nowitzki saw that their 'beast relatives' were moved onto the dinner table, this dining experience might not be as enjoyable.

Chapter 1001: The Competition Between Warriors (Part One)

At the beginning of the party, the atmosphere was a little cold.

Drogba and other simple-minded warriors of Chambord glanced at the guests who were sitting across from them in curiosity.

They were notified by Brook, so they roughly knew about the identities of these orc masters. These warriors of Chambord were curious toward the orc masters, but they were a little hostile since these masters weren't of the same race as them, and people rarely talked.

However, the orcs didn't care that much. They were defeated by the great food and liquor in front of them, and they focused all their attention on devouring and eating.

In the end, the orcs who had never enjoyed themselves like this before all got hyped up.

"So tasty! The liquor is too good!" O'Neal almost ate his tongue, and he thought to himself, "Oh, this place must be a paradise! Beast God! Please let me live here forever!"

Under the effect of alcohol, the simple-minded and straightforward O'Neal of the Bear Clan exposed his personality first. He completely let go of himself.

Bam! O'Neal took off the helmet that covered half of his head, and his iron-pillar-like arms grabbed an oak barrel that weighed about half a ton, raised it over his head, and chugged it down his throat.

Seeing the face of an orc for the first time, the officials of Chambord instantly gasped.

However, O'Neal's head wasn't vicious and ugly like what people had thought. Instead, it looked cute and naively-charming.

O'Neal's movements and straightforwardness instantly made the Chambordians who were sitting across from the orcs not repel them that much.

Since O'Neal did it already, other orcs who had a hard time suppressing themselves threw Great Priest Nash's words to the back of their minds and copied O'Neal.

Sitting beside O'Neal, Nowitzki of the Bull Clan laughed and took off the giant helmet that blocked his head a little. Then, he started chugging down liquor like O'Neal.

Great Priest Nash wanted to instantly stop them, but he heard cheers coming from one side of the palace; the warriors of Chambord were clapping and cheering for the directness of the two orcs. This cunning fox suddenly realized something, and he smiled and whispered to other peers beside him.

Quickly, other orcs who were still trying to act modestly took off the helmets and armor that covered their identities, revealing their real appearances.

"Great! They are indeed the most direct and straightforward race out there, just like what the legends have recorded!" Sitting amongst the high-level officials of Chambord, black-haired Drogba slapped his thigh and shouted.

This simple-minded man grabbed an oak barrel beside him that weighed about half a ton, and he walked to O'Neal of the Bear Clan and laughed, "From your appearance, I can tell that you are a great man. Do you dare to compete with me to see who the better drinker is?"

"Why not?" O'Neal didn't think that a human could easily lift a liquor barrel that weighed about half a ton. It was clear that Drogba's physical strength was mighty, and his impression of Drogba got better.

O'Neal flexed his biceps that were as thick as Drogba's waist, and he laughed while standing up in provocation.

Drogba was a giant man in Chambord, but he looked small standing in front of O'Neal; he only reached O'Neal's lower chest.

Without saying anything else, they each lifted the oak barrel in their hands, and they started gulping down the fine liquor.

In the end, they raised the barrels above their heads and chugged the liquor down into their stomachs.

"Damn it! These two b*stards are wasting my great liquor!" the king murmured in his mind. While O'Neal and Drogba chugged down liquor this way, at least one-third of the drink poured onto their bodies and on the ground.

However, alcohol was a fantastic substance. The king wanted these b*stards under his command to get along and become friends with the orc masters.

Chapter 1001: The Competition Between Warriors (Part Two)

Although Drogba always caused trouble, he was smart despite his rough edges. He was probably doing this since he understood the king's intention, and he wanted to use this method to close the gap between Chambordians and the orcs.

The orcs were used to being upfront and straightforward, so Drogba's behavior fit their taste.

While others cheered and whistled, the two tough men finally finished the competition and got the result.

Drogba lost, but it wasn't fair and square. O'Neal's mouth was bigger than his, and this orc master's throat was wider than his. Therefore, this master of the Bear Clan had a natural advantage, and he finished drinking the entire barrel 30 seconds before Drogba and claimed the victory.

Drogba's natural disadvantage couldn't be overcome in this 'brute' competition.

However, in the end, these two guys who were muscular and simple-minded grew to like each other.

"Damn! Able to compete with me in drinking? You are the first!" O��Neal patted Drogba's shoulder.

"Can compete with me in drinking and win by a bit? You are the first as well!" Drogba wasn't willing to be outdone, so he jumped up and patted O'Neal's shoulder as well.

Then, the two looked at each other and laughed.

At the same time, during the loud chatter in the palace, people like Pierce and Oleg walked around with oak barrels in their arms and found their drinking partners such as Nowitzki of the Bull Clan and Duncan of the Centaur Clan. They played drinking games and quickly got along.

Under the effect of alcohol, the warriors of the two races quickly became friends since they were all friendly and simple-minded deep-down.

The atmosphere in the palace quickly heated up.

Fei squinted his eyes and smiled like a cunning fox that successfully stole a chicken for dinner.

People walked around, toasted, played games, and laughed together.

Under the king's subtle push and Great Priest Nash's intentional tolerance, the party moved toward its climax.

You Won't Believe What the World's Most Beautiful Girl Looks Like Today

Nueey

"Drinking is nothing! If you dare, compete by physical strength with me!" someone who was drunk and lost a drinking game shouted recklessly.

This suggestion instantly received cheers and claps.

Bam! As the crowd moved to the sides, Drogba moved a big cubic-shaped stone that was a little more than one meter tall into the center of the palace. Then, he started to arm-wrestle his new friend, O'Neal of the Bear Clan. The other warriors of Chambord and the orc masters circled them as they shouted and cheered for their peers.

In terms of power, O'Neal of the Bear Clan was levels above Drogba. O'Neal was already at peak Burning Sun Realm, and Drogba was only at mid-tier Full Moon Realm; the difference between them couldn't even be measured.

In terms of body size, O'Neal was about three meters tall, and Drogba was only about two meters tall.

However, in the arm-wrestling match, only physical strength was allowed. With this rule in place, Drogba was no longer in a big disadvantage. Although the warriors of the Bear Clan were born with insane physical strength, and O'Neal was one size larger than Drogba, Drogba had taken [Hulk Potion], and his physical strength was stimulated to an unimaginable degree; he wasn't weaker than a large bear.

The two of them had three matches, and the result almost made the orc masters' eyes pop out of their eye sockets.

Drogba won two to one!

The orcs were known for their superior physical strength, and they couldn't accept this result; they all stood out to challenge the warriors of Chambord.

A fascinating arm-wrestling competition started.

Duncan of the Centaur Clan, Nowitzki and Artest of the Bull Clan, and Iverson of the Leopard Clan…

Pierce, Oleg, Robbin, and Brook…

Quickly, the outcomes of these matches made the orc masters feel dispirited.

Even Great Priest Nash who was secretly observing this got surprised, and he thought, "These clans are known for their great physical strength in the Behemoth Orc Tribe, but they lost more than half of the time. Are all Chambordians strongmen?"

"Pure physical strength doesn't mean much." Iverson of the Leopard Clan decided to use another method to redeem themselves.

Chapter 1002: Saber Technique (Part One)

Iverson of the Leopard Clan ignored O'Neal of the Bear Clan and Nowitzki of the Bull Clan's angry stares, and he intentionally bashed physical strength and suddenly drew the curved saber from his waist. Then, silver light flashed as whistling noises sounded. A big pineapple was cleaned, cut into 64 identical pieces, and presented on the stone table.

"Nice saber technique!" Applause, cheers, and whistles instantly sounded in the palace.

Iverson didn't use any unique energy; he only relied on his pure physical strength and technique.

This saber technique was stunning and perfect to the teeth. No wonder the Leopard Clan was known for speed and techniques in the Behemoth Orc Tribe.

"Hehehe, warriors of Chambord, which one of you can do the same thing?" Iverson provoked with a dirty smile on his face.

Now, O'Neal and Nowitzki ignored what Iverson said about physical strength and smiled so much that their faces wrinkled a lot. Iverson finally turned the table around, and all the orc masters felt proud and instantly started to cheer.

Although the simple warriors like Drogba, Pierce, and Oleg were unwilling to admit defeat, they didn't want to walk up to humiliate themselves.

Ad by Valueimpression

The saber technique that Iverson showed was delicate and insane; these simple-minded warriors couldn't mimic it.

Great Priest Nash finally felt proud after a long time, and he looked at Fei. Surprising to him, the king still looked confident and calm.

"Let me give it a shot!" In the next moment, someone stood out from the warriors of Chambord. He was the No.1 Fast Saber of Chambord, Aryang Robbin. He was the No.1 Saber Master in the city.

Under everyone's stare, Robbin causally took a curved saber from a guard. After weighing the saber, he looked at a guard and signaled him to toss over a pineapple. When the fruit got close, Robbin shook his wrist, and a series of air-piercing noises sounded; he didn't use any warrior energy.

The crowd felt like a mass of silver light suddenly flashed before them. After they blinked and looked again, they saw an intact pineapple on the stone table.

Just as they were confused, they heard Robbin's crisp shout.

Whoop…

The rough surface of the pineapple opened like the petals of a blooming flower, revealing the bright, yellow, and tasty fruit inside. Then, like a collapsing sand sculpture, the cut-up fruit fell to the two sides and naturally displayed itself. There were exactly 64 pineapple cubes, no more no less, and they were neatly presented as well!

The entire palace froze at this moment, and it became tranquil.

"Great!" Iverson of the Leopard Clan was the first to react, and he instantly cheered, waking up others from their daze.

Instantly, cheers and whistles sounded like rumbling thunder, filling the entire palace.

The saber technique that Robbin showed was insane and godlike as well!

Right now, even an outsider could tell that Robbin's technique was above Iverson's.

First, Robbin used someone else's saber, so it was only natural that he wasn't as used to it compared to Iverson who used his own saber. Second, after Robbin cut up the pineapple, he was able to make it not fall apart instantly, which had a high requirement for both speed and technique.

Not only Iverson of the Leopard Clan, but many Chambordians were also seeing Robbin showcase his insane technique for the first time, and they were stunned and amazed by it.

"Amazing! Truly awesome!" Iverson of the Leopard Clan gave Robbin the thumbs up and said, "This is my first time seeing anyone who can use a saber to this degree. If there is an opportunity, I wish to talk to you and discuss saber techniques!"

"Of course! Your saber technique is also superb! The sharpness of your technique is beyond mine!" Robbin was as humble as ever.

Chapter 1002: Saber Technique (Part Two)

The two were both masters who were great with sabers, and they looked at each other and laughed. Without paying attention to others, they started talking about their own understanding of sabers and techniques as if no one were around.

In this unexpected, amazing atmosphere, the perfect ending of the party only came after about four hours.

Before the party was over, the simple-minded warriors of Chambord such as Drogba and the orc masters were already calling each other brothers.

Under the nature of warriors and the merging effect of alcohol, these straightforward men all felt like it was a pity that they met each other so late. Although the orc masters were much more powerful, they were simple and kind, so they didn't have the sense of superiority like the human peak Burning Sun Lords who liked to act haughty and show off.

Near the end of the party, even Great Priest Nash started to talk to the old and handsome Bast who had great a demeanor and noble aura, and they got along well.

Seeing all this, Fei sighed in his mind, "Similar people do fit together really well. In this party, these simple-minded warriors and orcs sure became fond of one another."

…

This party instantly closed the gap between Chambord and the orc masters.

In the next few days, the orcs got to walk around and check out the ancient Chambord City.

Everything on the Azeroth Continent seemed novel and interesting to them, and everything was great in their eyes; this place felt like a paradise to them.

The orcs who lived in poor conditions really wanted to live like these humans where they didn't need to worry about food and resources.

On the other hand, Great Priest Nash spent most of his time communicating with Head Minister Bast.

This intelligent master of the Fox Clan read the documents in the Royal Library of Chambord day and night, and books like [Continental History], [Human Era], [History of Humans], [Continental Hero List], and [Index of Empires] were Nash's favorite.

This priest of the Behemoth Orc Tribe was so crazy that it felt like he wanted to learn about what happened in the last 1,000 years overnight.

At the same time, a massive amount of information regarding the situation at every location of the continent flowed back to Chambord through the hummingbirds.

The [Letter Office] already grew into something terrifying in the last two years. After all, this organization used more than half of Chambord's income, and the king had been helping it in secret whenever he could. Its tentacles reached into all five regions of Azeroth, and Chambord got a grand return on its investment. In this chaotic world, the clarity and timeliness of information could determine the life and death of an empire.

Right now, even though Chambord was in the northernmost location on the continent, it knew what was happening around the continent!

Great Priest Nash also got access to most of the information there.

In reality, Fei knew that the main reason why this herald team of the Behemoth Orc Tribe risked coming to Chambord was to get to know the situation on the continent. Therefore, as long as it didn't involve the confidential information of Chambord, Fei made a copy of most intelligence reports and gave them to the orcs to read.

To this, Great Priest Nash was very thankful.

While the orc masters were indulged in this fancy and bright world, Fei took a few days and went to the Capital of Anji, periodically killing the zombies that posed a threat to the Chambordians who were temporarily living there. When killing monsters and getting stronger in the real world, Fei still chose his Barbarian character and Paladin character. However, due to the special situation, the king also moved around using his Druid character and absorbed a portion of the mystical energy.

At the same time, the mystical gold war puppets were being manufactured in the No.1 Sealed Egg in the sealed space under the Royal Palace of Anji.

Chapter 1003: The Heavenly Barrier Between Gods and Mortals (Part One)

No.1 Sealed Egg was the sealed egg that Fei and Hazel Bank discovered first. Inside was a giant beach that had no end, and the only change that took place was the speed of time. After the two mad scientists made the breakthrough in the study of the laws of time, they slowed down the speed of time in the sealed egg drastically. Now, one minute in the outside world was equal to 30 minutes in here.

However, even though everything seemed aligned, the modifications to those 5,000 sets of mystical gold armor weren't going successfully.

"The activation of the soul arrays failed," Cain and Akara sounded powerless and unwilling. "We tried many times, but it all failed. Now, it seems like the legend is real. Creating life and soul are only the privileges of the gods; those are forbidden powers. Although everything is aligned for us, and we have many convenient conditions, we still failed at the critical moments."

Fei was surprised, and he asked, "Didn't all the prior magic experiments go smoothly? I remember that you guys already decoded the god-tier magic arrays inside Dark Demonic Armor Basturk, right? There aren't any issues in theory, no?"

"Everything works in theory, that is for sure. However, many magic principles work in theory but might not work when put into practice. It is almost impossible for mortals to reach the realm of gods. That is the forbidden zone." Cain's explanation made sense. "Out there in the world, there seems to be an invisible heavenly barrier, and it is blocking the way, stopping the mortals from reaching the realm of gods. The power of this heavenly barrier is above that of the laws of nature, enforcing itself on the entire world."

"Only if you become a true god will you be qualified to give the mystical gold armor life and soul, making them powerful like Basturk." It was clear that Akara also agreed with Cain's conclusion.

"So, it means that the entity who created Basturk is a true god?" Fei suddenly realized the significance of the issue.

This enemy that was hidden in the dark was extremely powerful.

"There is no doubt about it. Even if this entity is an extremely weak god, as long as he has divinity, he can do this."

"Divinity?" Fei nodded and remembered this.

Unfortunately, the technique of condensing divinity was long lost on the continent; no one knew how to do it and step over the boundary.

The king shook his head and said, "Let's not make guesses about gods. As to the mystical gold war puppets, is there another way to go about it?" The king was unwilling to give up right here.

There were 5,000 sets of mystical gold armor. If they could be activated and turned into war puppets, they would be equivalent to 5,000 peak Burning Sun Lords and 5,000 young lords! Chambord's overall strength would skyrocket! The kingdom would become a super force that could complete with level 9 empires. Even if Chambord had to face the Holy Church, there was a chance that Chambord would win. Now hearing that this grand plan suddenly ran into a great obstacle, the disappointment in Fei's mind was beyond words.

"There is no other way to activate the arrays inside these sets of mystical gold armor." Cain shook his head.

"However, we altered some of the godly-rune magic arrays inside them. Now, these mystical gold war puppets can battle and sustain themselves using magic crystals. Putting it in exact measurements, one high-level magic crystal can last a mystical gold war puppet a full day, but their combat strength will be at Morning Sun Realm. Also, they can only battle instinctively; they don't have Sun Anomalies and can't communicate with others. They can only receive simple commands, so they won't be as smart and perfect like Basturk," Akara added to what Cain had said.

Akara's words made Fei's eyes brighten up.

"That is great! You should have told me that earlier! This is good. At least these sets of mystical gold armor can battle with anything as tough as level 5 combat weapons. Even if a real Sun-Class Lord has to battle one of them, this person might not be able to win." Fei was elated.

Chapter 1003: The Heavenly Barrier Between Gods and Mortals (Part Two)

Even though these sets of mystical gold armor couldn't be as powerful as before, they would be perfect war weapons; they were literally unkillable battle robots!

Fei calculated in joy, "Obtaining 5,000 low-tier Morning Sun Lords… It is a crazy number of masters for Chambord! Chambord's overall strength will explode! The kingdom can now rival with level 9 empires as long as these sets of mystical gold armor are powered."

"We have finished modifying 1,000 sets of mystical gold armor. If you can provide us with 1,000 high-level magic crystals, you will have 1,000 low-tier Morning Sun Realm mystical gold warriors serving Chambord."

With a neutral expression on his face, Cain reached out his hand and rubbed his fingers, asking for money.

"Eh… 1,000 high-level magic crystals?" Fei froze for a second and said, "Alright, you have troubled me. Chambord temporarily doesn't have that much wealth."

High-level magic crystals were rare and precious. Taking the Zenit Empire for example, the empire's annual revenue was even less than 1,000 high-level magic crystals.

Although the king had taken all the treasures from the treasure storages in the Royal Palace of Anji, almost all of it had been used in the last half year or so. Chambord's high-speed development was fueled by almost an unlimited amount of wealth and resources. Like a giant black hole, the Chambord Kingdom was devouring and using a ton of money every second.

"However, I have this thing." Fei took out a fist-sized blue gem from his storage ring. He smiled and said, "This is a completely purified Worldstone from Normal Mode. I'm sure it contains more energy compared to 1,000 high-level magic crystals, right?"

"Of course! Of course! It is more than enough!" Like a homeless cat that saw a steamy fish, Cain instantly took the Worldstone in excitement before turning around and heading back toward the giant No.1 Sealed Egg with Akara. Before he left, he said, "Just wait. In three days, 1,000 downgraded mystical gold war puppets will be ready to serve the kingdom. After three more months, the other 4,000 mystical gold war puppets will also be able to put into war."

"Ah? Hey, wait a second. I have another important thing to ask you guys." Seeing how crazy these two mad scientists were about the mystical gold armor, Fei didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He quickly chased after them and entered the giant sealed egg.

"What about it?" Cain was so aggressive that it seemed like he was doing something naughty with a girl and got interrupted. He stared at Fei angrily and said, "I will give you three minutes. Quickly tell me what is going on."

"It is like this…" In detail, Fei told them about the mysterious world behind the purple teleportation portal that he got after all seven of his characters passed Diablo World.

When Fei was done, ten minutes had passed.

However, after hearing Fei's descriptions, Cain was no longer as anxious as before. Instead, he fell into a deep thought, and he murmured with a confused expression, "A pure and perfect world? Filled with natural elements? Green trees and a large grass plain? Rivers and smart animals? Huh… so strange. I feel like I've seen these scenes that you described, but how come I can't remember any of it?"

This was the first time that Cain looked so lost and confused.

"I can't recall; I can't remember anything. Perhaps I dreamed of a world that is similar to what you said, and that is why I feel familiar with your descriptions." Cain shook his head and said, "After this Mystical Gold War Puppet Project is over, you can take me to the world that you described. Perhaps I will recall something. That is all for now! Stop disturbing me! Get out!"

After saying the last sentence, Cain's interest shifted back to the creation of the war puppets and the energy in the Worldstone. He waved his hand at Fei impatiently and dove into the laboratory. Then, he started doing all kinds of strange and complicated experiments with Akara.

These two's apprentices, who were university students of Chambord, were moving around the giant machines and tools while assisting with all the experiments like diligent bees.

Chapter 1004: The End of An Era (Part One)

Seeing the two big mad scientists and the many little mad scientists working so diligently for Chambord, Fei didn't have anything else to say. After a pause, he left the No.1 Sealed Egg.

The sealed space was still giant and deep like the beautiful and mysterious cosmos.

The star lights that were shining from afar looked intoxicating and gorgeous.

Before leaving, the king checked all other sealed eggs that weren't broken last time. Seeing that none of them had signs of breakage, he calmed down a little.

Then, Fei flew to the largest sealed egg that was in the very center of the sealed space.

White and black lights shined on the giant egg, and it continued to expand and shrink under the tight wrap of the godly blood chains. It looked like a giant's heart that was pumping, and it emitted both the auras of justice and darkness. Fei didn't know what terrifying existence that this giant egg made of light sealed, but his scalp numbed after thinking that its size was bigger than all other 71 giant sealed eggs combined.

Fortunately, the seal on this giant egg was extremely sturdy, and there was no sign that the godly blood chains were going to break any time soon.

If this weren't the case, even if Fei used all his energy and depleted all his blood, he wouldn't be able to strengthen the seal on it.

After checking around the sealed space, Fei entered Diablo World and arrived before the purple teleportation portal. Then, he entered that mysterious and perfect world on the other side.

…

Just like last time, this place was still sunny, and the birds were chirping while the flowers released a pleasant fragrance. It seemed like the spring never left this place.

The fresh air that was filled with natural elements was extremely nice. Even when Fei casually breathed, he felt like he drank a mouthful of god-tier potion. He felt comfortable all over, and each of his pores opened and moaned.

This world was huge and seemed limitless.

Every single place in this world was beautiful, and the weather was great. As gentle breezes blew by, various rare animals could be seen. The only thing that this world lacked was the trails left by highly-intellectual species.

This time, Fei wanted to see how big this world was. While he flew in one direction with all his strength, he saw green grass plains, rolling mountains, howling rivers, roaring oceans, white and large snow flat land, vibrant and dense primitive forests…

The king saw all kinds of beautiful natural scenery. However, he spotted no marks of human activity from the beginning until the end.

There were no highly-intellectual species that walked on two feet, and there were no structures and cooking smoke.

This seemed to be a parallel space that no human had ever stepped in.

Eight hours later, Fei returned to the purple teleportation portal with even more questions.

He still didn't know where this beautiful world was, and he had no idea if this were the grand reward after he passed Diablo World with all seven classes. Also, he didn't know what this world meant to him and if it were similar to Diablo World in any way.

With so many questions on his mind, Fei tried to contact that cold and mysterious voice which had been silent for a long time.

Unfortunately, the cold and mysterious voice that would appear at Fei's summon before no longer responded as if it had vanished after Fei passed Diablo World with all seven of his characters.

Fei could only leave this new world and Diablo World in disappointment.

Chapter 1004: The End of An Era (Part Two)

When Fei got back to Chambord City three days later, the [Letter Office] passed back an important piece of news.

The long battle between the Holy Church and the Dragon Clan had finally ended. The Dragon Clan was defeated.

Although the Holy Church suffered a ton of casualties, it relied on its vast accumulation of strength and successfully protected its title as the most powerful force on the continent in the last 1,000 years. It finally broke through the lockdown that the Dragon Clan placed on Sicily Island.

Many people who were close to the battle claimed that on the last day of the battle where the entire Mediterranean Sea was the battleground, Holy Songs resonated in the sky, and a layer of white mist enveloped the region. People vaguely saw that angels with white wings appeared with light swords in their hands, and they slaughtered dragons and were truly invincible.

People estimated that the gods who the Holy Church worshipped in the last 1,000 years woke up at the most critical moment, and they stood up and protected their believers.

This meant that the members of the God Clan started waking up.

These great entities were going to start descending on the Azeroth Continent.

However, the Dragon Clan was one of the most powerful forces in the Mythical Era. Although they got defeated in this battle, they greatly shocked the Holy Church. Instead of getting obliterated as many people had imagined, the dragons that came to this battle and survived until now rested on Corsica Island, which was another island in the Mediterranean Sea. The dragons could still look at Sicily Island from Corsica Island, and their attitude toward the Holy Church was still hostile.

The Holy Church obtained the victory in the Holy War, but they couldn't destroy these terrifying enemies.

Both sides chose to carefully maintain the current peace.

"Clearly, the Dragon Clan also has unimaginable accumulation. Even though the Holy Church awakened the sleeping God Clan, they couldn't eliminate this terrifying race." After reading this intelligence report, Fei's father-in-law Bast sighed and said, "Regardless of what happens from now on, this battle told the entire Azeroth Continent that the era where the Holy Church dominated the world is no longer here."

That was true!

Fei had to admit that even though it seemed like the Holy Church won this Holy War, they had to swallow the bitter fruit of their lackluster victory. There was now a force that dared to challenge them, and the terrifying and untouchable presence of the Holy Church that they spent 1,000 years on creating vanished during this war.

Also, the fear that billions upon billions of people had toward priests and holy knights disappeared alongside the unique presence of the Holy Church.

From some aspects, the era where humans dominated the continent was officially over.

The strategic defeat of the most powerful human force signified the powerful return of other races, and they could split the continent with humans.

This was the end of an era.

A new era was beginning.

The sense of danger on Fei's mind intensified even more after hearing the news.

The Chaos Era where hundreds of races were going to battle for territory had officially begun. It meant that every force had to quickly strengthen their power, and that would increase the chance of survival in this cold and cruel world.

Otherwise, the forces that couldn't get stronger in time would become other forces' stepping stones, getting bullied easily and dying without dignity.

The Chambord Kingdom and the Zenit Empire had to instantly increase their strength to protect themselves and survive in the Chaos Era.

At this thought, Fei's desire to establish an alliance with the Behemoth Orc Tribe got even stronger.

It was at this moment that Great Priest Nash finally said farewell to the king and wanted to go back.

Chapter 1005: The Early Form of the Covenant (Part One)

Inside the Meeting Hall of the Administrative Center at the ancient Chambord Kingdom, Nash sincerely thanked the king for the warm reception and expressed his vast appreciation of the friendship with Chambordians. Then, he laughed and said, "Respectful Majesty, I have stayed in your territory for about ten days now, and we have a clear understanding of the continent. Now, we must return to the [Banished Land] and report everything that we know to the king clans and the Beast God Palace. We need to get ready with the mass emigration."

"So, the orcs are going to come back to the continent?" Fei asked.

"According to the information that I know, I think the king clans and the Beast God Palace will make the decision of migration." While talking, this priest of the Fox Clan blushed and said, "My peers and I will forever remember Your Majesty's treatment. I hope… hope when the Behemoth Orc Tribe come out of the Endless Sea of Forests, we can still receive Your Majesty's friendship."

This was Nash's way of seeking help.

In the last ten days or so, Nash understood the situation on the continent, and he learned about Fei and the Chambord Kingdom. He knew that the young king in front of him was a powerful character who could fight for the throne of domination in the Chaos Era, and he knew what level of terrifying potential that Chambord held.

Without question, from Great Priest Nash's perspective, the Human Emperor of the North and his kingdom were like a sleeping dragon. One day, this dragon was going to wake up and soar into the sky, stunning the entire world!

From all angles, the Chambord Kingdom was the perfect partner for the orcs.

This decision wasn't only made because Chambordians showed the same level of power, bravery, straightforwardness, and unity as the orcs. More importantly, as the king, Fei was very open-minded and warmly received the orcs. Under the influence of this honorable king, all Chambordians showed true friendliness and acceptance toward the orcs; it wasn't fake, and Chambordians didn't put on a show.

Great Priest Nash learned a lot about the continent in the last few days, and he knew how fragile the peace treaties that the human empires had with other races were.

Using powerful combat strength, the goblins grabbed enough resources to survive. The dwarfs and gnomes had to accept living in the heated mountains which had a harsh environment. The elves in the west were having many conflicts with the Madrid Empire and the Barcelona Empire. In this world, one rule held forever – only those with bigger fists could get the resources to survive.

Unlike other races where they opened their small worlds and almost reserved their full strength, the Behemoth Orc Tribe traveled to the [Banished Land]. The terrible environment there made the orcs struggle around the line of survival. Now, they had to travel back through the Endless Sea of Forests, and the strength of the tribe was going to further weaken. After arriving on the Azeroth Continent, the strength of the orcs couldn't be guaranteed, and it was going to be extremely tough for them to survive in this Chaos Era.

If the orcs could have a powerful human ally such as Chambord, it would be the perfect and most wise decision.

After all these days, the orcs who clearly distinguished between kindness and hatred had been treated well by Chambordians, and they felt a little embarrassed since they couldn't offer Chambord anything in return. Now, they were seeking help for the future. This made Great Priest Nash feel like he was stepping over the line, and he blushed.
