Chapter 420

: Second Base – Death Ancient City (Part One)

There were two swords with unique looks in the sixth chest.
The silver light reflecting off the body of the swords looked like mercury, and the chilly aura around the swords wasn’t hidden at all. The swords were sharpened, but the tips of the swords weren’t pointy; they were vicious hooks, making them look very strange. Each of the swords could be held with two hands, and their hilts were wrapped with black beast skin that could absorb sweat and increase friction. The two swords looked destructive and artistic at the same time.
Fei grabbed onto one and knocked it with his finger, and a crisp metal ringing noise resonated on the defense wall.

Nice sword!
Fei praised.
He didn’t know what material this sword was made from; it was quite heavy. Although it was only 1.6 meters long, it weighed about 300 kilograms; that was heavier than a massive ax made from pure metal. The body of this sword was reflective as a mirror; Fei could see his own reflection on it.
What attracted Fei the most was the forging technique used.
Fei had seen a lot of elite items in Diablo World, and he learned a lot of knowledge regarding forging from that busty female blacksmith Charsi. He could tell that these two swords were on another level; Charsi couldn’t recreate them with [Demon’s Remains] and [Black Iron Essences] yet.

I also found these two swords from the headquarter of those desert bandits. Some people said that these swords are more than 1,000 years old, and the techniques used are similar to the techniques of the Dwarves who existed in the era of gods and demons. A bit of Mithril, Purified Iron, and [Golden Tear of Goddess] which are all Combat Weapon materials were added to the body of the swords. They have great magic energy and warrior energy conductivity, but they are just too heavy for normal swordsmen to use. I couldn’t find anyone who could use them, so they have been sitting in my storage for a long time. Your Majesty is powerful, so these two swords finally met their righteous owner.

Abramovich said respectfully. He was a person who was good with words and great at observing others, and he just flattered Fei implicitly.

Manager Roman, you are so considerate,
Fei replied as he grabbed onto both swords. After he injected some energy into them, it seemed like the swords had their own spirits and let out a series of cheerful sounds.
Everyone in the hall was surprised by this.
Fei had the set item [Bul-Kathos’ Children] as his weapons; the Dual-Swords were great weapons with a lot of additive magic properties. In terms of damage, what he had now was much better than these two swords Abramovich gave him.
However, for some reason, these two swords gave Fei a special handy feeling. After some thinking, Fei accepted these two swords and placed them in the slots where the Barbarian Character kept his secondary weapons.
In others’ eyes, two dashes of silver lights flashed by, and the two swords disappeared into Fei’s arms.

It looks like the strength of the king of Chambord is far beyond anyone’s estimations,
Abramovich who was a Four-Star Warrior himself was surprised, and he was also more pleased with this person who he selected as his ally.
Fei accepted all six chests as gifts, and he laughed as he said,
Manager Roman, thank you for the gifts!


It is my honor to have Your Majesty accepting all of them.

Fei replied,
I don’t like running around the bushes. I already know the intention of your trip.

A joyous expression appeared on Abramovich’s face. He quickly stood up and bow as he laughed,
Since this is the case and Your Majesty is busy with your work, I won’t take up more of your time.


Ok, Jose, please safeguard Manager Roman down the defense wall.


As you wish, Your Majesty!

This Ophiuchus Saint whose name was Jose Rice walked Abramovich and his guards out of the watchtower and down the defense wall.

Haha, Emile! Go and tell Jessica about what just happened quickly! If the people from Soros’ Merchant Group got to her first, she might be scared,
Fei laughed as he said to the simple-minded man.

Yes, sir! I will go now…… hehe……
a bright smile appeared on Husky’s face. After he single-kneeled and saluted at Fei, he ran out of the watchtower in excitement. But after half a minute, he ran back and said,
Sir, I will be back soon.

: Second Base – Death Ancient City (Part Two)

This simple-minded man had a special aura around him. Fei felt like this Husky was like one of his brothers who slept on the upper-berth in the student residence back when he was in university; those brothers of his would always back him up didn’t matter what happened.
Shortly after Husky left the watchtower, Shevchenko and Ribry came in. Every single preparation was done, and they were here to ask Fei when to move.
Fei nodded as he walked out of the watchtower and looked at the sun that was slowly disappearing on the horizon.
The king turned around and looked at the 200 elite soldiers behind the two commanders and stated,
You guys are the bravest and most powerful warriors in the city! You guys are the heroes of the empire! There are 200 of you right now, and I hope 200 of you returns safely tomorrow! Remember, I will have a party set up for you before the sunset tomorrow! Doesn’t matter if you successfully burn the food supplies of the enemies or not, you all will get level 3 merit points!



Long live Zenit! Long live King Alexander!
the soldiers chanted in excitement.
At this moment, the last bit of sunlight disappeared on the horizon.

Roll out!

As Shevchenko and Ribry commanded, the 200 elite soldiers placed their hooks with ropes attached to the battlements and quietly got down the defense wall like agile monkeys. After that, they quickly dashed through the opening that the enemies left in the north direction and disappeared into the desert.

Time for me to go as well,
Fei thought as he calmed down after seeing this team successfully getting through the enemy lines.
He called over Cech, Pierce, Drogba, Huerk, and Kanort and gave a few orders, and he then switched to Assassin Mode and disappeared from Dual-Flags City; his subordinates were already used to his mysteriousness.
……
The wind was blowing in the desert
There was an ancient city located ten kilometers west to Dual-Flags City. Under the moonlight, all the ragged buildings, the endless shadows, and the lifeless sensation inside this huge city gave chills to people.

Here! This must be the city that they were talking about.

Fei stopped and looked at the ragged ancient city.

Is this the Death Ancient City in the desert? It is a place full of danger and death,
Fei sighed as he quickly scanned the area with a 1,500-meters radius around him using his spiritual power.
He was about 1,000-meters away from the city, but he didn’t step forward for ten minutes.
There was a huge area of red quicksand in front of him, and it could easily devour anything that stepped on it.
The quicksand surrounded the city and acted like the moat, and it was referred to by many traveling poets as the Death Sand River.
It was heard that any warrior who hasn’t achieved Moon-Class would be swallowed by the quicksand when passing through it, and the corpse would become the food of the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants that resided under the quicksand.
This was the main reason why this ragged city turned into a death trap despite that fact that it was massive and most of the buildings in it weren’t destroyed.

Let me see how berserk these cute little guys are.

Fei thought as he quickly changed to Druid Mode.
His aura changed as nature essences appeared around him. When he waved his short wand, a cloud of white nature essences surged and turned into a white wolf.
Fei’s Druid Character was level 69, and Fei put a lot of skill points into [Summon Spirit Wolf]. This wolf had the strength of Three-Star, and it could be counted as a Demon Beast.

Go!

After Fei commanded, this wolf roared and dashed into the red quicksand.
This wolf was ultra-fast, and it didn’t get stuck in the quicksand at first. But after it sprinted forward for four seconds, something terrifying occurred. The calm red quicksand moat suddenly started to rumble, and dense black dots appeared beside the red sand grains.
Berserk Metal-Eating Ants!
These black dots were the Berserk Metal-Eating Ants!
Each ant was the size of a thumb, their black shells were shiny as gold, and their front limbs were like sharp blades. There were tens of thousands of these ants on the quicksand, and they instantly climbed over the wolf. In a split second, the wolf that could battle with a Three-Star Warrior disappeared before it could even let out a cry as if it was an ice cube that got placed in a heated oven.

Terrifying! They are enough to block tens of thousands of soldiers,
Fei evaluated these ants.
With memories from Earth, Fei knew that these tiny little creatures were terrifying once they reached a certain number. During the Second World War, the African Army Ants had devoured a modern elite force led by the infamous Nazi general Rommel who had the nickname of Desert Fox; there were 1,800 soldiers in the force, but they couldn’t defend against those ants.

This is the second base that both Tanasha and Paris recommended to me? This city and Dual-Flags City could compliment each other and sandwich the enemies, but how can I get the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] to enter this city?

Fei decided to go into this ancient city first to check it out.
– P.S. It was brought to our attention by a fellow reader that the use of the term
Saint Seiya
isn’t appropriate and we should just change it into the term
Saint
. After doing more research into it, we agree with this recommendation, and the term
Saint
will be used from now on.
