Chapter 538: The Huge Change in Zenit

Ever since Zolasc and Modric founded Chambord’s Intelligence Agency, the Letter Office, they had sent Fei a ton of secret letters. However, this was Fei’s first time seeing a letter with the red wax seal on it.

It meant that something super important occurred.

Fei quickly opened the letter and read it carefully.

Soon, he finished reading it, and he exhaled deeply with a serious expression on his face.

“Damn! Zenit’s God of War…… Andrew Arshavin…… It looks like I underestimated you…… After the initial test battles, you were able to completely obliterate the forces of Spartax and conquer and destroy a level 1 Empire. Such power…… Such dominance…… A man like you does deserve the title of ‘God of War.’”

This letter talked about the changes in the war in the southern regions of Zenit.

Although the words were simple, Fei was able to sense the drastic change that occurred in the region far from where he was. Also, he sensed Zenit’s God of War’s terrifying calculations and decisiveness.

There were only a few thousand words on the letter, but they perfectly described the horrifying scene where blood stained thousands of square kilometers of land and Arshavin’s dominating presence as the Head Commander.

Fei remembered that the Elder Prince went to the southern region of Zenit to defend against the invaders. With everyone’s hope on him, he did win a few crucial battles earlier on and calmed people down.

But in the next while, there were many small battles that were insignificant. There were wins and losses, but Zenit wasn’t in the advantage. Therefore, in the people’s eyes, this God of War already lost his sharpness and aggressiveness.

The higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment.

Recently, the situation happening in St. Petersburg was chaotic. Since rumors stated that Emperor Yassin was on the verge of death, many people jumped out and tried to bend the situation in their favor. A lot of ministers wrote reports and advised Emperor Yassin to take away Arshavin’s position as the Head Commander in the southern regions. It was heard that these letters and reports stacked on the tables of Emperor Yassin’s office and the Military Headquarter.

There were a lot of people hoping that Arshavin would fall, and a lot of people were gloating over the Elder Prince’s bad luck.

It was imaginable that if it weren’t for Elder Princess Tanasha who stayed in St. Petersburg and took care of all these matters, Arshavin might not have the time to plan out and execute this huge victory.

However, everything changed now.

Elder Prince Arshavin suddenly launched an attack after more than half a month of waiting and concentrating control. His troops instantly defeated more than 100,000 soldiers of Spartax and beheaded more than 60,000 of them in the battle.

After that, like a landslide, the momentum got carried forward.

In just two days, Zenit’s God of War, Arshavin, led the elite soldiers of his [Iron Blood Legion] and 50,000 elite cavaliers of Zenit into the territory of Spartax. They traveled more than 1,000 kilometers, conquered the Capital of the Spartax Empire, and wiped out the royal family of Spartax.

In this war, they captured more than 10,000 noblemen and royal members of Spartax, and Arshavin brought doom to the old nemesis of Zenit, the Spartax Empire.

This was a glorious victory. It would be recorded in history books as one of the most brilliant wars that Zenit had ever fought.

Andrew Arshavin would be admired and looked up to by a lot more citizens of Zenit as well.

It was predictable that Arshavin was now at an advantage in the battle for the throne after this victory. Compared with him, Second Prince Dominguez, who didn’t get a chance to lead troops and earn military merits, was already at a huge disadvantage.

At this moment, Fei suddenly felt like he had underestimated this Zenit’s God of War just like a lot of other people.

Of course, since Fei’s strength increased a lot, and Arshavin was only a Six-Star Warrior, he didn’t see this elder prince as a potential threat. However, this huge victory Arshavin got alarmed Fei and made him see this elder prince as a powerful opponent.

In Fei’s mind, he already positioned Arshavin as his opponent.

After all, he was able to sense the hostility this elder prince had toward him.

After comprehending the information in the letter, Fei started to think about the potential changes that were going to occur in Zenit.

First of all, the changes in the battle for the throne were going to happen for sure.

In the foreseeable future, Arshavin would have the advantage.

However, Fei now knew that Emperor Yassin already recovered from his injuries and was back at his prime. Therefore, the emperor of the empire wouldn’t change in the short while, and the battle for the throne would still be going on for a long time. Second Prince Dominguez had enough time to make a potential come back.

Second of all, after this victory in the southern regions, Zenit had more energy and more soldiers to focus on Eindhoven and Jax Battle Zones.

With Emperor Yassin who was a super powerful master and Arshavin who was a talented commander, it seemed like the Eindhoven Empire was going to be conquered soon as well. After all, Emperor Kromkamp of Eindhoven got killed by Royal Mage Domenech of the Leon Empire, and the Eindhoven Empire was probably in a mess right now.

In comparison to Arshavin’s grand victory, Fei looked a lot weaker and useless.

The [Wolf Teeth Legion] had arrived at Dual-Flags City for more than half a month, but no real progress was made.

Except for two offensive battles and one defensive battle, there weren’t much that would be shown to the Military Headquarter.

Fei suddenly realized something. Since some ministers wanted to fire Arshavin from his Head Commander position when he didn’t get many wins in the short run, then he himself was probably getting a lot of oppositions in St. Petersburg as well.

There were probably more letters and reports on the tables in the Military Headquarter about firing him.

“But why didn’t I get any instructions or letters from the Military Headquarter? Could it be that someone helped me like how Tanasha helped Arshavin? Could it be Paris? Or Dominguez? Only these two could be counted as my friends in the Capital.”

Fei thought about it and shook his head. He knew that he would know it one day.

In fact, Fei didn’t care about being fired. The King didn’t treasure the position as the Head Commander of the Jax Battle Zone. If someone were going to replace him, he would love that! He wanted to be back at Chambord and have his chill life.

As long as Zenit wasn’t in so much danger that it harmed his promise to Martial Saint Krasic, Fei wouldn’t care about wars.

“Tell Modric to continue the monitoring on the war in the southern regions, especially the movements of Elder Prince’s [Iron Blood Legion].”

Modric oversaw the Letter Office’s operations in the southern regions of Zenit.

After Kashya got Fei’s command, she nodded and went back into the portal, disappearing.

This military leader was powerful. Even though she was silent, she was extremely trustworthy.

A cloud of energy appeared in Fei’s palm and turned the letter in his hand into a pile of white powder.

This letter came in at the right time.

Before most of the nobles and officials in Zenit got the news, Fei already learned about it and was able to plan ahead of time.

Soon, multiple orders were sent out from the watchtower on the west gate.

After half an hour, Fei’s henchmen such as the warriors of Chambord and Strategist Old Aryang all came in.

Fei didn’t hide anything and told them about the information on the letter.

Even though they were all stunned, they discussed the information intensively.

Even if a person were smart, he or she would miss out on some of the details. Even if a bunch of people was dumb, they would be able to come up with something useful together. Fei liked discussing everything in a group. He didn’t think he was that smart, and some of his subordinates such as Old Aryang were extremely intelligent.

In addition, Fei was trying to help his generals and commanders get into the habit of discussing matters as a group instead of making rash decisions.

“In this situation, Your Majesty should quickly end the war with Jax. Your Majesty could only get more out of Zenit in the upcoming division of power if you get a splendid victory here. It is easy for us to do that. If you wish, I could wipe out the 60,000 soldiers of Jax in half a day,” Strategist Old Aryang said after some thinking.

In the last while, the intelligence and experience Old Aryang showcased had allowed him to conquer Fei and the warriors of Chambord. The fact that he was able to make [Wolf Teeth Legion], which was made from a bunch of random warriors and soldiers, into a troop that could battle efficiently with enemies displayed his abilities.

Since there were a lot of things happening outside of the battlefield, Old Aryang couldn’t completely showcase his skills.

Therefore, the advice he just gave was his way of showing appreciation for Fei’s trust; he wanted to show everyone just how good he was.

Almost everyone supported his plan.

A smooth victory was crucial to Chambord if the kingdom wanted to expand even more and get stronger before the real chaos.

However, Fei shook his head and rejected this plan.
