Chapter 429: Shocking Strength Increase
The two Master Warriors from Big Snow Mountain were already concerned.
The gate of Dual-Flags City was right in front of them, but they couldn’t move forward anymore.
They thought that even if the King of Chambord was as powerful as their Junior Brother Fairenton said to be, they could still take care of him. However, they couldn’t even take care of two of King Alexander’s subordinates!
Only a master could understand another master! After battling their opponents for a while, Anita and Eino could already tell that this man and this woman weren’t a lot weaker than them! It would be hard for them to win in a short time. In terms of challenging the King of Chambord? They would need to use the majority of their Warrior Energies to defeat these two warriors in front of them, so it would be impossible for them to battle the King of Chambord after that.
After Fairenton gave another command, the bugle sounded, and the soldiers of Jax backed off a little.
What was happening completely ruined this prince’s plan, and the influence mighty warriors had on wars was demonstrated again.
Fairenton looked at the watchtower on the west gate of Dual-Flags City from afar, and he was feeling all sorts of emotions.
Although there were a ton of people standing on top of the defense wall and he couldn’t see if the King of Chambord was standing with them, the deterrent factor was there. When facing this king, he felt like the Combat Techniques and the military strategies that he was proud of couldn’t be used! He felt restrained when he first met Fei, and that feeling worsened over time.
At this moment, the 5,000 cavaliers of Zenit that survived through the battle finally got into Dual-Flags City.
The last person who entered the city was riding a level 4 Roaring Flame Beast. With his hands on the rein, he looked through the gate and at the battlefield.
This person was also carrying a shorter and thinner person in his arms.
This person was a female! She was wearing a delicate helmet with the T-shaped guard on the front and a female armor. Her white and smooth skin was somewhat exposed, and her long black hair showed itself at the back of the helmet.
“Ok, Angela! You can open your eyes now! Are you scared?”
Fei lightly pulled on the rein and turned his mount around. As he looked at the battle between the four Master Warriors, he took off Angela’s helmet and asked.
“No! Alexander, I’m not scared as long as you are around me,” although she was saying that, her eyes were still tightly shut. Perhaps it was due to the toughness of actually riding on the Roaring Flame Beast, she was sweating a whole lot due to the nervousness even though Fei was protecting her, but that also made her look cute.
After she said that, she slowly opened her eyes and tried to convince Fei that she was telling the truth.
“Alexander, are we through the defense line of the enemies?”
Fei laughed and kissed his fiancée’s white cheek. He murmured into her ear, “Of course! We are already inside the city.”
As the cranking noises and metal-gliding noises sounded, Angela finally let go of the breath she was holding in and fully opened her eyes. She looked up at Fei with proudness in her eyes as she said, “Alexander, this counts as me fighting alongside you, right? I went on the battlefield with you, and I’m a brave queen.”
Fei laughed.
The few weak females including Angela, Emma, the four maids, and the lazy [Fallen Princess] Victoria all got into the city, and they were all hiding inside this team of cavaliers.
Fei was planning to send them to Death Ancient City; that way, they won’t be in danger, and they didn’t need to see the bloody and horrifying scenes on the battlefield where blood, limbs, and corpses were everywhere. However, for the first time, Angela disagreed with Fei and wanted to stay by his side.
Since Death Ancient City had been unoccupied for hundreds of years and Dual-Flags City had a lot more facilities, Fei decided to bring his fiancée and the girls into Dual-Flags City alongside the administrative staffs.
With only 6,000 cavaliers, it should be almost impossible for them to get through the defense line of Jax since quite a lot of them were administrative staffs who didn’t know how to fight. However, under the strategies and planning of old Aryang, they got through with only about 500 to 1000 casualties. If the cavaliers were more coordinated, the number of death and injuries would be even less.
“Ah, are Emma and the girls ok?” Angela felt sweet after the kiss, but she immediately thought of her sister-like maids.
“Don’t worry! They are all protected by warriors! They had entered the city before us!” as the gate of the city closed, Fei turned his mount around again and charged forward into the city with his fiancée.
Emma, the maids, and the guards were waiting for them. Fei asked the maids and Victoria to take care of Angela, and he escorted them into the Mayor’s Mansion; that was where they would be living for the next while. After that, Fei rushed back onto the watchtower on the west gate.
After seeing Fei’s returned, Drogba, Pierce, Huerk, Kanort and the scared nobles who were closely watching the fight were surprised; no one saw Fei leaving, and they thought Fei was still inside the watchtower.
“Sir!” they quickly single-kneeled down and saluted.
Fei waved his hand and signaled them to get up. Then, he quickly walked up and looked down at the battle.
After the short moment of pause, the four Master Warriors went at it again.
Three Warrior Energy surges and one Magic Energy surge erupted like volcanos. As fires burned, thick lighting bolts and ice blocks fell. The four types of power battled each other in front of the city, and the area in front of the west gate looked like a living hell.
For a moment, even the sunlight dimmed in contrast with the light emitted by this battle.
All the soldiers and commanders on both sides stared at and cheered on the Master Warriors on their sides.
It seemed like the four Master Warriors were still in an even situation.
Fei stood on the defense wall and nodded; it seemed like he didn’t want to help out.
“Both these men who are wearing robes must be Senior Brothers of Fairenton……” Fei thought. When he sneaked into the campsites of Jax, Fairenton was referring to only one Senior Brother. “Why are there two now?” he thought.
Both of these men were Nine-Star Warriors, and they both cultivated ferocious fire-elemental Warrior Energy and could use several high-level Combat Techniques.
Nine-Star Warriors were rare in St. Petersburg; the number of them could be counted with one hand. Anyone who had this level of strength would be given noble status and resources as long as they expressed their willingness to serve the empire. However, two warriors of this level appeared on the enemy’s side today, and that scared a lot of soldiers of Zenit.
However, the two Master Warriors on the side of Jax encountered their opponents.
Valkyrie Elena had been following Fei in Diablo World and completed many quests with him in the last while. Although most of the experience points went into her second Paladin Bloodline, she was still a level 80 Magic Archer. With the level 6 items Fei got for her in Diablo World, her combat ability was very close to a Nine-Star Warrior. Besides, she had fought a lot of bosses in Diablo World with Fei, and she accumulated a lot of experiences. All of those accumulate led to her strong presence today.
Under the sunlight, she was standing on the ice mountain and shooting out magic arrows one after another rhythmically. Her control of the tempo was perfect, and the sounds made by the bowstring vibration were like music to everyone’s ears. With her present, one of the two Master Warriors from Big Snow Mountain couldn’t move forward anymore.
On the other side, Lampard’s ability was surprising.
The speed of cultivation this former No.1 Warrior of Chambord exhibited shocked Fei, and Fei couldn’t understand it as well. Many things didn’t add up; even though [Hulk Potion] improved his talent, his speed of cultivation was much faster than other warriors of Chambord.
Fei remembered that when Lampard was a Three-Star Warrior, he had water-elemental Warrior Energy. But since he switched over to lightning-elemental Warrior Energy, his strength improvement speed was too fast! Even though Fei had Diablo World behind him, he almost couldn’t match up with Lampard’s cultivation speed.
(P.S. I realized that the author made a mistake in the last few chapters. Before, he wrote that Dual-Flags City had two gates, one on the east and one on the west. However, he wrote that there was a gate on the north and no gate on the east in the last few chapters. It is a minor issue, but I just want to point that out. I didn’t change it in the translation because I’m not sure which one it should be yet. Feel free to message us if you think it should be one or the other, and I will make appropriate changes accordingly.)
