Chapter 362: Battle Zone No.1 Commander

“He…… died?” Costakarta was so shocked that the roasted rib in his hand almost fell onto the ground.

“How is that possible? Could it be the fake news Zenit created to fool us?” Amauri couldn’t believe it either. The Martial Saint of Zenit defeated them easily last night, and it seemed unlikely that Krasic would die right after that. “How could a dying person manage to use so much force last night?” he thought.

“That information shouldn’t be wrong. I didn’t use our own intelligence network at St. Petersburg. Everyone at the Capital of Zenit knows about it, and they are all emotional. At the same time, the news about Lkunta being killed by Krasic is also being passed around!” Lanji continued as she thought about everything in a calm manner, “Also, Zenit declared wars against the Jax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire!”

It was completely silent in the hall after Lanji finished speaking.

The three Moon-Class Elites were thinking about the possibilities behind each of the news.

“When something is strange, something is typically wrong. How dare Zenit start wars with three empires at the same time? Do they have secret trump cards that we don’t know about? Since Krasic is dead and that man is half-dead, who can protect Zenit?” Amauri murmured as he carefully swallowed the food; he tried his best to not move the muscles around the huge wound on the front of his body.

“Did you forget about the St. Germain Empire?” Costakarta shook his head. As a famous general, he was able to have a clearer view of the bigger picture. “That bastard Girano dared to attack us on the central sword peak, so it is obvious that Emperor Blank of the St. Germain Empire is behind this. Since the St. Germain already betrayed the agreement between the seven empires, how can we be sure that Zenit doesn’t any other allies?”

“You are right. We can’t be sure that St. Germain is the only empire out of the seven empires who betrayed us. The honor of our agreement is already forgotten by some shameless bastards!” the No.1 Swordsman from the Jax Empire suddenly sneered as he continued to devour the food.

Costakarta and Amauri were frightened by what Huntelaar said, but they both nodded subconsciously.

What Huntelaar said was indeed reasonable. That man they fear was really good at planning, and that man would never engage in a war that he wasn’t prepared for. Even if his heart stopped pumping, he would have set up numerous terrifying traps to destroy his opponents.

It was a nightmare fighting against someone like that.

However, they had to stand against him. If they chose to compromise at a time like this, they would lose their empires, lost their loved ones, and lose their identities.

“The current situation is beyond our control.” After Costakarta finished eating, he was getting ready to use his warrior energy to speed up his healing. “Since what happened last night is now known publicly, I’m sure that all the emperors would make decisions for the group. What we need to do now is to quickly heal up and leave St. Petersburg as soon as we can!”

In this plan that was prepared for more than 10 years, even Moon-Class Elites were only chess pieces in the hands of the emperors.

For a moment, Lkunta’s death made the three Moon-Class Elites very anxious. They were supposed to be masters who were worshipped by numerous warriors, but they were now only sacrifices that would initialize the bloody prologue of the era of chaos. None of them were sure that they could live to see the result of their hard work and dedication.

“Good idea. We need to recover fast and leave right away.” Amauri and Huntelaar looked at each other and agreed to Costakarta’s idea.

A blue crystal-like magic wand was releasing dashes of blue lights in the building, and the auras of the three Moon-Class Elites were completely sealed by it. This God-tier magic wand was the key to their escape plan as it helped them “disappear” in the eyes of the warriors of Zenit by stopping others from sensing them.

The most dangerous place was the safest.

They were now hiding in where Lkunta lived before, and they were sure that no one would expect them to return here after the soldiers of Zenit searched the building.

With the help of Lanji who went back to the female appearance and was able to go out and buy food and gather information, these three Moon-Class Elites had some time to recover. Once they were well enough, they would be able to escape using the tunnels that were prepared ahead of time.

The person who actually called Fei to the Royal Palace was Tanasha, and that surprised Fei a little.

In the first palace at the entrance, Fei saw the [Goddess of Intelligence] Tanasha who was slowly enjoying her breakfast. When she saw Fei, she waved at him and signaled him to come over and eat with her.

Under the surprised glances of the maids and servants, Fei walked to the table and started to enjoy the food without hesitation.

Ever since he returned to Chambord’s campsite, he felt unprecedentedly tired and fatigued.

For the first time ever, he didn’t enter Diablo World to level up when he had gaming time. Rather, he slept with clothes on and his fiancée in his arms until the morning. After that, he patrolled the campsite, and he was summoned to the Royal Palace before he had the chance to eat breakfast. He was actually a little hungry right now.

A smile appeared on Tanasha’s face as her crystal blue eyes locked onto this man who was devouring the food without manners. For some reason, she would always feel relaxed when she was with him; it felt like the heavy burden on her shoulders was temporarily lifted when she was with him.

“If it wasn’t for the purple potion he gave me, I would be dead by now……”

The Elder Princess sighed as she thought about that. Although she was super intelligent in other people’s eyes, she would something wonder about random things as well. “Maybe death is much easier and is a better option……” as Tanasha was thinking about something, she suddenly recalled that her first time seeing Fei was also at a dining table.

“Did you find them?” After he wiped off the milk on his chin, Fei asked Tanasha without even looking up.

Tanasha obviously knew who Fei was referring to. Both Imperial Patrol and Royal Guards had searched the entire Capital including all the magic towers, but they weren’t able to find any traces of the three injured Moon-Class Elites. Like three water droplets that ended up in the ocean, they were nowhere to be found.

However, Tanasha wasn’t anxious. She smiled, “They would be found sooner or later. The Military Headquarter of Zenit had made plans, and another round of “dragnet-style” search is taking place. They could never make it out of St. Petersburg.”

Fei laughed, “I know that you guys won’t find them this easily. Let me take care of it.”

“You can find them?” Tanasha was a little surprised.

“Eh.” Fei wiped his lips clean after eating, and he lied on the chair comfortably. He crossed his arms in front of his chest without worrying about his image and changed the subject, “So what is it that made you summon me this early in the morning?”

Tanasha placed the silverware on the table and stood up. She walked towards one side of the palace as she said, “You know that Zenit had declared wars against the Eindhoven Empire and the Jax Empire as well, right? Therefore, except for the southern battle zone, the Military Headquarter decided to create two more battle zones……”

Whoosh!

Tanasha unveiled the huge square map that 10 meters long on each side by pulling off the big red cloth covering it.

Fei followed her and took a closer look.

This was a map of Zenit and the adjacent empires.

Zenit’s territory is in a rough trapezoid shape. Most of the eastern territory was along the ocean shore as [Shiver Ocean] was located next to Zenit. Spartax was to the south of Zenit, and a smart part of the southern border was connected with Eindhoven. To the west, there was Jax.

Chambord was on the northern end of Zenit. There was a huge area of mountains to the north of Chambord, and they were marked with the color grey; it felt very deserted and desolated.

Fei carefully read this map.

He compared it with the mysterious map he got from the Four-Star Mage Evans, and he realized except for the fact that the mysterious map about the mythical ruins was more ancient, most of the terrains recorded on it was similar to this map. There also weren’t any borderlines on the mysterious map, meaning that it was drawn before these empires were established.

This discovery made Fei believe the authenticity of the mysterious map that was about the mythical ruins even more.

“The Military Headquarter decided to open the second battle zone here and the third battle zone here……” Tanasha circled an area to the southwest and an area to the west with a red magic marker and said to Fei, “The wars are here, and no one can avoid them. In the original plan, [Wolf Teeth Legion] was supposed to head to the southern battle zone. Right now, I can try to get you an opportunity to choose which battle zone you want to go to.” Tanasha smiled as she pointed at the areas that she circled.

“They trust me that much?” Fei sneered as he rubbed his chin. His eyes jumped between the two battle zones circled by the Elder Princess.
