Chapter 445: A Ton of Masters

“Yes…… Your Highness, the food supplies…… the soldiers of Zenit raided our troop that was guarding the food supplies 25 kilometers from here…… General Dene who was leading the troop was killed, and most of the 100 carts of food supplies were burned……” that scout reported in his shaky voice; there were a lot of injuries on his body.

“What? How?” as if he was shocked, Fairenton’s face changed color.

The food supplies of his soldiers got burned by King Alexander once already, and the left-over food could barely last his troops for a day. The food supplies that were on their way to the campsites were life-saving treasures, and the logistics and supply paths were top secrets in the military.

“Only a few people know about the paths…… how did Zenit know about that? How did they arrange this raid?” Fairenton thought desperately.

“Sh*t! It must be Alexander! It must be him……” Fairenton felt like he was inside a freezer as his heart was cold as ever. Without enough food, these 60,000 soldiers could die in the desert if no miracle happened.

At this moment, a few more scouts rushed towards him; their speed was even faster than this scout in front of Fairenton. As soon as they got to the prince, they jumped off their mounts and cried, “Your Highness!! The soldiers of Zenit ambushed the 12,000 elite Sand Tiger Cavaliers, and they got crushed! General Kendo died with more than 7,000 Sand Tiger Cavaliers, and General Erdous is coming back with the rest of the men……”

“Ah……” Fairenton screamed and fainted on the spot……

……

……

“Damn it! Why is it like this? I’m only 500 meters away from the bottom, yet I couldn’t get to those buildings…… the water pressure here is insane……”

Deep down in the underground ocean, Fei stared at those magnificent structures at the bottom of the ocean and sighed. The closer he was to the bottom of the ocean, the stronger the water pressure got. However, the increase in water pressure was beyond the explanation of physics as if there was an invisible power repelling all external entities. Even though Fei had quite a few items from Diablo World on him, he could only get to this point. It was impossible for him to get closer to the bottom of the ocean even for one more centimeter.

Right now, Fei was able to clearly “see” the mermaid-like creatures swimming around rapidly 200 meters below him using his Spirit Energy. There were a ton of these creatures, and each of them contained a ton of power; Fei felt like the powerful magic surge around them could easily defeat an Eight-Star Warrior. However, it seemed like these creatures were imprisoned in a specific area by a mysterious force as they couldn’t get more than 300 meters away from the bottom of the ocean. Otherwise, if all of them charged at Fei, Fei could have died.

Currently, Fei was able to scan the structures at the bottom of the ocean. What made him excited was that the style of the structures at the bottom was almost identical to the style of that Mythical Altar recorded in [Demon King’s Wisdom].

“Looks like I’m too weak…… I probably only could get to the bottom of the ocean if I completed all the quests in [Rogue Encampment] in Nightmare Mode.”

After several failed attempts to get to the bottom of the ocean, Fei decided to go back to Dual-Flags City to increase his strength.

When Fei swam up about 1,500 meters, a powerful Warrior Energy suddenly appeared from afar and spread around the area; it felt like a mighty warrior was scanning the region.

“What? There are other people here?” Fei was shocked.

He instantly thought of some of the Spirit Energy Techniques recorded on the purple scroll, and his Spirit Energy immediately wrapped around him. His Spirit Energy blended in with the water, and it easily fooled that Warrior Energy and didn’t let Fei to be discovered.

Fei only started to swim upward after that Warrior Energy disappeared.

“This Warrior Energy feels familiar…… wait, he is that man in red! He knows about the secret in this underground ocean as well? Sh*t! If he gets to the structures first……”

Fei realized that the situation was headed towards a direction that he didn’t want to see.

When he was close to the water wells, there was another powerful energy spreading around and scanning the water. Like a huge fish net, it seemed like this person was searching for something as well.

Fei’s face changed color as he used his Spirit Energy to wrap around him again.

The Spirit Energy was great! Although these two people were much more powerful than Fei, they weren’t able to discover his existence at all!

When Fei returned to the ground, he wasn’t in a good mood.

Except for those two powerful people, Fei sensed six more powerful energies in the underground ocean in just ten minutes! There were Warrior Energies and Magic Energies, indicating that there were at least eight powerful Moon-Class Elites in the region. They were all searching for something, and it seemed like they were worried about something and had their guards up.

Using the mysterious Spirit Energy, Fei was able to sense these powerful energies without being discovered. However, after he carefully sensed the situation for a bit, he felt like these people knew each other well, and their energies separated after lightly colliding with each other; there wasn’t any death battle as Fei hoped.

It seemed like they were following some kind of implied agreement.

“What is going on?” Fei frowned.

Each energy represented a powerful master. Except for that man in red and the mysterious mage in the city, Fei had never met the other Moon-Class Elites. However, he was sure that they were hiding in Dual-Flags City, and they were waiting for a critical moment to arrive.

“Looks like something important is going to occur, and it must be connected to the underground ocean and those structures at the bottom,” Fei thought.

All of these people were powerful! Fei felt like each one of them had the strength comparable to that man in red and that mysterious mage. He couldn’t defeat any of them, and increasing his power was his top priority.

Fei decided to focus on his Barbarian Character. After he completed the last quest in Diablo World in Normal Mode, he didn’t advance into the realm of Moon-Class; it seemed like he lacked something.

After he got out of the underground ocean through a water well, Fei went to the Mayor’s Mansion to check up on Angela and Elena.

Fei had a mix of emotions on his mind when he saw the two beauties lying on the bed without consciousness; he was touched, worried, and angry at the same time.

“After I purify the [Worldstone] and save them, I will let that man in red pay for what he did! He will suffer 100 times the pain!” Fei thought to himself. Every time he thought about that man, he would be enraged. Ever since he came to Azeroth Continent, Fei had been getting all sorts of advantages; no one had made him lose so much in a day. Although the anger didn’t show on his face, it was boiling in his mind; it was waiting for the perfect moment to erupt.

After he walked out of the Mayor’s Mansion, he marched towards the watchtower on the west gate with Torres behind him.

It was already dark, and the sun was about to fall below the horizon.

After the siege during the day, the calmness and quietness of the city felt more precious. Fortunately, the residents in the city were used to this intense lifestyle. There were still pedestrians on the street chatting with each other. Most of them didn’t know about the hard battle that was fought today; they only knew that King Alexander won again and defeated the invaders of Jax in the siege.
