Chapter 422: The Calm Before the Storm

The final boss Baal was hiding in [Worldstone Chamber] which was connected to the third level of [Worldstone Keep].

However, its terrifying and arrogant laughter could be heard throughout [Worldstone Keep].

Baal’s laughter was filled with pressure and murderous spirits. That intense violent and cruel sensation traveled through the area like waves, and the invisible power continuously hammered Fei’s and Elena’s eardrums and mental states. Anyone who was weaker than Fei and Elena could have fallen into a state of chaos and lose their minds.

When they finally reached [Worldstone Chamber], four hours had passed.

Fei didn’t continue and kill the final boss; since there were more important matters for the king to take care of in the real world, Fei packed up the rewards that were dropped by the monsters and exited Diablo World.

……

The cold wind was still blowing in the desert.

After Fei returned to the secret exit of the tunnel that connected to the Death Ancient City and cleaned up the magic traps he set up earlier, he waited patiently.

After one hour passed, the sky turned brighter. There was a faint light appearing on the horizon, and it signified the beginning of the new day.

Suddenly, a series of loud clip-clopping noises sounded followed by the appearance of a team of cavaliers. Their weapons were reflecting the weak sunlight, and their presence was pressing.

“They are finally here?” Fei jumped onto a sand hill and looked in the direction of the cavaliers.

There were about 5,000 of them, and they were protecting a bunch of carts with supplies on them. The cavaliers who were leading the charge were wearing white capes and silver armors, and they were holding up flags with either a two-headed polar bear on them or a wolf head with shiny fangs on them.

They were the flags of Zenit and [Wolf Teeth Legion].

Fei relaxed a little. “It seems like everything went fine,” he thought.

He instantly howled, and those cavaliers heard him.

“Where are you!” someone shouted, and they instantly rushed toward Fei’s direction after Fei reconfirmed his location.

This troop got to Fei in about five minutes.

“Your Majesty! It is my honor to see you again!”

“Legion Commander, it is Cindy’s honor to see you again!”

“Legion Commander, it is Reyes’ honor to see you again!”

Old Aryang who was wearing a leather armor, [Magic Princess] Cindy who was wearing a black robe, and [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes who was wearing a white cape and a silver armor got off of their horses and saluted at Fei. They were all excited, and their nervousness disappeared.

“No need to complicate the process. There isn’t enough time, so let’s do this quickly. There is a secret tunnel behind me, and we need to get the food and supplies into the city safely. Also, notify everyone and make sure that they don’t step into the red quicksand moat; there are powerful Demon Beasts living in there……” Fei had already switched to Barbarian Mode, and he said that as he lifted his hand; all three of them who were single-kneeing on the ground were uplifted by the invisible force.

“As you wish, I will organize everything and order the troops to enter the city.”

Old Aryang who was now able to do some walking knew that the time was tight. He had a lot of things to talk to Fei about, but he decided to do that at a later time. After he saluted at Fei again, he turned around and started to organize the entry.

“Sir, we met again,” [Magic Princess] Cindy dusted off the sands on her robe as she smiled at Fei; at that moment, it felt like a flower had blossomed, and it got rid of the darkness.

“Princess Cindy, it must have been tough traveling this much,” Fei smiled and replied.

When this powerful female mage joined [Wolf Teeth Legion], Fei was surprised and joyous. A mage was much more valuable in a war, and Princess Cindy was a genius mage who mastered several powerful spells. Fei could sense the passionate heart under her cold and emotionless appearance.

“Hey, hey, hey! This is not fair! Cindy, you have never smiled like that in front of me who is ultra-handsome! Why are you smiling like that in front of the Legion Commander? Could it be……” [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes wrinkled at Cindy and joked with her.

“If you can defeat the Legion Commander in a battle, I will smile for you.”

“Ah? Whatever…… how can I match up to a monster like King Alexander?”

Fei smiled again after hearing the joking tones. At least it seemed like these two masters who all had strong personalities were becoming friends; it was a good sign. A united [Wolf Teeth Legion] was better than a [Wolf Teeth Legion] that was filled with internal conflicts. In a way, this level of harmony reflected the work that old Aryang had been doing.

At this moment, another series of clip-clopping noises sounded.

“It’s the scouts of Jax! They are here!” the expression changed on [Silver Armored Vicious Sword]’s face. He asked proactively, “Sir, let me go and kill them all! We don’t want them to know about our traces.”

“Haha! Great! Let all three of us have a little competition to see who gets the most kills,” Fei dashed towards the enemies as he said that.

“Ok! [Magic Wings]! [Floatation]! [Increased Speed]!”

Cindy shouted as she cast a few spells, and the magic elements in the area surged around her. A pair of translucent green wings appeared behind her back, and she flew towards the enemies quickly like a battle angel.

“Haha! Let me show you…… [Joy Sorrow Sword]! [Separate Gather Sword]! Go!”

[Silver Armored Vicious Sword] shook his shoulders, and two dashes of chilling lights shot out of the mysterious sword box on his back; these two swords instantly traveled more than 500-meters and killed the four Sand Tiger Cavalier charging at the front.

There were only more than 100 Sand Tiger Cavaliers.

The scouts of Jax had noticed this troop of Zenit very early; they monitored this troop carefully when this troop entered the region close to Dual-Flags City. Therefore, a team of scouts of Jax had been following them closely and wanted to see what they were up to.

However, they didn’t expect this troop that was only focused on charging forward to turn around and attacked.

“They had master warriors! Run!”

“Run in separate directions! Tell Prince Fairenton about this! Quick!”

The leader of the scouts knew something was off and instantly turned his horse around as he gave out a series of commands. All the Sand Tiger Cavaliers turned around and started to retreat.

Although this leader with the fast reaction didn’t save his own life, it did allow three scouts to successfully escape. Those three scouts dashed into the desert, and the message was being passed out.

“Damn it! Sir, let me chase after them!” [Silver Armored Vicious Sword] wanted to charge after those scouts.

“No need! The invaders of Jax will know that a portion of the legion came here sooner or later. We have bought enough time, so it doesn’t matter if they know about it now. We have more important matters to take care of,” Fei shook his head and explained.

“Ok,” Reyes rubbed his chin and suddenly laughed, “Hahaha! I killed the most enemies! Mr. Alexander, quickly give me the prize!”

As Fei dashed towards Death Ancient City, he laughed, “Did I say that the person with the most kills would get a prize?”

Cindy giggled, but Reyes didn’t have a comeback.

……

“Your Majesty, all the food and supplies are moved into the city according to the plan. Just like what Your Majesty said, there is a special magnetic field inside the city. All the metal gears won’t work…… most of the soldiers had switched to leather armors, and we have ditched most of the metal weapons and armors; that is how everything went smoothly.”

Strategist Aryang saw Fei returning to the exit of that secret tunnel and quickly reported everything.

“Great! Let’s make the next move! Pass my order! Leave 2,000 cavaliers here to clean up the city. Cindy and Reyes, you guys stay here as well to watch over everything and make sure that everything is secure,” Fei gave out orders right away, “The rest of the cavaliers and Strategist Aryang shall follow me back and meet up with the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion]. The rest of the legion should use this opportunity and get into Dual-Flags City.”

“As you wish!”

“Sir, let me go with you,” [Magic Princess] Cindy suddenly stepped out and expressed her wish.

“Cindy, this ancient city needs to be watched over by someone powerful. It is better if you and Reyes stay here. If master warriors from Jax come, please kill them for me,” Fei thought about it and rejected Cindy’s proposal.

“Ok then,” Cindy thought about it and nodded.

[Silver Armored Vicious Sword] Reyes glanced at Fei and Cindy repeatedly with a meaningful smile on his face as if he discovered something.

After the two master warriors and the 2,000 cavaliers entered the city, Fei closed the stone gate that was more than ten tons heavy. After that, he used his power and stirred up the sand around the area; all the traces of this secret tunnel disappeared.

After everything was ready, Fei hopped onto the horse that a soldier got for him and led the 3,000 cavaliers with Strategist Aryang towards the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion].

It was almost dawn, and it was the most critical moment.
