Hail the King

Chapter 891: Returning to the Capital (Part One)

While increasing his strength, Fei also issued orders and got Chambord to start to prepare for the expedition.

Before Emperor Kerimov of Anji died, he had revealed that a god protected the Anji Empire. Also, Fei made some shocking findings when he watched the battle between Emperor Kerimov of Anji and Emperor Yassin of Zenit. Those vague phantoms appeared from Emperor Kerimov of Anji’s body surprised Fei, so he had to go to Anji Empire and confirm some of his findings.

Since this expedition might unveil some confidential information that was critical for him, Fei wasn’t planning to bring the troops of Zenit; he was going to rely on the military of Chambord alone on this one.

Therefore, this expedition was the first time in the history of Chambord that the kingdom was having a large-scale military operation outside its parent empire, so it was emphasized and had top priority.

After the king issued the order, all the officials of Chambord, either big or small, got to a level of busyness that they never experienced before, and Chambord moved rapidly and precisely like a well-oiled machine.

Also, the military started to actively select and sieve through soldiers. The army of Chambord now had 20,000 soldiers, and they were all elites who had been through extensive training. According to the order of the king, only the elites who were extremely loyal and were stronger than Three-Star could participate in this expedition.

This expedition wasn’t a military secret, so Fei didn’t keep it confidential and hide it from others.

Soon, all the forces and kingdoms in the Zenit Empire learned about this. The news spread around the region like tornadoes, and all the empires within 500,000 kilometers of Zenit got the information that the Zenit Empire was going to send a troop to the Anji Empire.

As a result, the atmosphere of the relatively peaceful Northern Region of Azeroth became tense, and many eyes that had different motives looked toward Chambord.

All the forces in the Northern Region of Azeroth paid close attention to the development of the situation.

It was evident that this would be a war that was going to affect the entire Northern Region. Even though the Zenit Empire’s military power and population weren’t on par with some of the super empires, its influence in the region was ranked No.1 after Emperor Yassin became a demi-god.

The Anji Empire rose in power quickly, and they believed in a military dictatorship; it could be said that all the citizens of Anji could turn into soldiers when necessary.

Although Emperor Kerimov of Anji died in battle, the strength of this empire couldn’t be ignored. If Emperor Yassin who was a demi-god didn’t move, the Anji Empire still had a fighting chance against a troop of Zenit.

In the grand scheme of things, this war was going to have an immeasurable influence on the political sphere and power dynamics in the Northern Region of Azeroth. With the chaos of Azeroth as the background, this war seemed crucial.

After 20 days, Fei’s Assassin character entered Nightmare Mode level 80, which was equivalent to low-tier Full Moon in the real world.

With the mysterious Assassin’s skills, the items created by the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory, and his understanding of the Sun-Class Realm, Fei was confident enough to battle a Sun-Class Lord as a low-tier Full Moon Assassin.

Except for that, he also got a few good items. He got two components of the [Natalya’s Odium] Item Set which was suitable for assassins, and these two items were [Natalya’s Mark – Scissors Suwayyah] and [Natalya’s Shadow – Loricated Mail]. They were now a part of Fei’s prized collection.

At the same time, the Mythical Altar had finally purified the Hell Mode Worldstone that Fei got from his Barbarian character after close to three months. Its size was reduced by more than half, and it was now a pure, sky-blue crystal that was radiating dreamy light.

This purified crystal was invaluable.

After thinking for a while, Fei decided to keep it in [Sky Castle] as the power source, so he placed it in the god-tier mechanism in the [Godly King Palace] on the central godly mountain, providing this great city with almost an unlimited amount of energy.

Chapter 891: Returning to the Capital (Part Two)

According to Akara and Cain’s estimations, this Worldstone could last for about 1,000 years when this city was being utilized at maximum capacity.

The Nightmare Mode Worldstone that Fei got as a Barbarian was being used as the power source of this magnificent city before, and now it was used as the power source of Chambord City after it was replaced. For five days, Fei, Cain, and Akara set up a lot of magic defensive arrays and strengthened the city using semi-god-tier runes, making Chambord City as close to a metal city as possible.

After everything was put in place, no one below the Sun-Class Realm could directly break through Chambord City’s defense.

When all of this was set up, the military of Chambord also finished the selection process and gathered.

Brook selected 1,000 soldiers who were stronger than Three-Star, and they were going on the expedition with the king. Although it seemed like the number of soldiers was low, the strength of this troop was shocking. If they were correctly commanded, they could defeat and crush a main battle legion directly.

Out of the Gold Saints of Chambord, only Fei’s guard, Torres, would go with the king. The rest of the Gold Saints were asked to stay in Chambord and protect the kingdom. Fei didn’t think the Ormondians had forgotten that their two princes had fallen in Zenit. Also, the Xuan’ge of Ormond that was known as the overlord of the sky was captured by Chambord, so they must hate the Chambord Kingdom and the King of Chambord dearly. Except for the fact that the situation on the Azeroth Continent was unstable, the Ormond Empire probably didn’t try to avenge itself merely because its leaders didn’t find a good opportunity yet.

If Fei left Chambord and Zenit in high-profile with a troop, some reckless and bold characters would try to come to Chambord City and mess around. Therefore, Fei didn’t want to take too many high-level warriors with him.

Before going on the expedition, Fei had to go to St. Petersburg and report to Emperor Yassin. Although the Zenit Empire didn’t need to send soldiers, a lot of supplies and resources would be required once the war began. Fei had to make sure that Zenit was going to bear all the cost. Otherwise, it was going to be a huge expenditure for Chambord, and it would increase the burden on the shoulders of Chambordians.

Fei wanted to bring Little Luffy back to the Martial Saint Mountain in St. Petersburg, but this little guy fell in love with Xuan’ge and stayed with Captain Sparrow and Captain Barbossa like their little tail, asking them all kinds of questions and wanting to stay no matter what. Since Fei also wanted to hone this little guy, he let him stay in Chambord City.

When Fei went to St. Petersburg, he didn’t get to meet Emperor Yassin again.

It was heard that this new demi-god was in seclusion cultivation, declining everyone’s request for meetings. Even Elder Prince Arshavin, Second Prince Dominguez, and Elder Princess Tanasha hadn’t seen Emperor Yassin for three months.

Elder Prince Arshavin who had control of the Imperial Military Headquarters hosted the meeting and received Fei in the grand hall.

Their talk was pleasant.

Since Emperor Yassin decided on the expedition to the Anji Empire before he went into his seclusion cultivation, the Imperial Military Headquarters couldn’t push back.

[Zenit’s God of War] Arshavin was shocked to learn that Fei was only bringing 1,000 soldiers on this expedition. From the standpoint of Zenit’s interest, he was going to give Fei control of two main battle legions, which was about 150,000 soldiers, but the king politely declined.

After that, the Imperial Military Headquarters didn’t make it hard for Fei, and the Elder Prince waved his hand and agreed to the invoice that Fei prepared before coming here, not trying to bargain and reduce the supplies and resources that Chambord asked for.

After staying in St. Petersburg for a day and organizing all the things at the Martial Saint Mountain and the [Letter Office], Fei rushed back to Chambord City.
