The battle ended with Zenitians claiming the final victory.
Among the ten empires that established this alliance, the most powerful Ormondians got the worst outcome.
The six Xuan’ge that should be invincible within the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit all became the spoils of war for Zenit.
Out of the more than 20,000 elite soldiers of Ormond in the battle, less than 10,000 of them survived. All the masters above Five-Star died in action, and their Prince Gundogan who was a Sun-Class Lord also became a captive.
Then, the Leon Empire came next in terms of the losses.
The Leon Empire was the most powerful empire within the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit, and it had the most powerful military force. However, it lost eight Moon-Class Elites in this battle, and the legendary Prince Gomi also had fallen. Out of the 100,000 elite soldiers of Leon, more than 40,000 soldiers died, more than 20,000 of them were captured, and less than 40,000 soldiers escaped. This was a huge loss, especially those eight Moon-Class Elites!
Even the Leon Empire which was a medium-to-high-level empire couldn’t bear such a loss, and its foundation had been moved.
All other eight small empires were much weaker, and they were almost like cheerleaders during the battle.
Although Fei didn’t specifically visit them, they were attacked by the soldiers of Zenit under the lead of Arshavin, Zenit’s God of War. More than half of the soldiers who came to St. Petersburg lost their lives here, and a few empires lost their core legions and were going to be attacked by others.
In fact, all the empires within the region of 50,000 kilometers of Zenit suffered significant losses, and they couldn’t rival with Zenit and stop this giant bear in the north from growing.
To every single Zenitian, this defensive battle around St. Petersburg was dangerous and intense.
The Ten-Empire United Troops suddenly gathered, and the intelligence networks of Zenit didn’t detect it in time. In just one day, the enemies broke through six provinces of Zenit and arrived outside St. Petersburg.
In fact, when the Zenitians saw the elite soldiers of Leon and the Xuan’ge of Ormond, they all felt desperate, and they almost lost their courage to fight back. This battle wasn’t fair at all.
The soldiers of Zenit fought a hard battle, and a lot of them didn’t sleep at all within 30 hours; they battled on the defense wall non-stop.
If St. Petersburg weren’t operated and strengthened by the Royal Family of Zenit many times, and the Ormondians didn’t underestimate their opponent and didn’t send one giant Xuan’ge to Chambord, this great city would have fallen a long time ago.
Right when the empire was on the verge of collapse, and many people felt desperate, their savior arrived when almost all Zenitians were feeling hopeless.
King Alexander of Chambord who was a talented genius traveled more than hundreds of kilometers and came here to protect the Empire. With unbelievable strength, he pulled the falling situation back and killed more than dozens of enemy masters. By destroying the top-tier masters, he turned the battle upside-down.
After the battle, everyone in the Capital was spreading the shocking news about the King of Chambord reaching the realm of Sun-Class.
The Imperial Military Headquarters, Minister Offices, and Royal Family all started to help promote this news, and even the vendors who sold vegetables on the sides of the streets and butchers who sold meat in their shops learned that the Empire now had a Sun-Class Lord.
This news was shocking since its meaning was ground-breaking! With the King of Chambord alone, the Zenit Empire would be considered a level 5 empire on the Azeroth Continent now!
Chapter 733: Situation (Part Two)
This meant that the level of Zenit skyrocketed, and the citizens of Zenit were now under the protection of a Sun-Class Lord.
Sun-Class Lords meant a lot nowadays!
After the Mythical Era, it was hard to see the powerful gods, demons, dragons, and various other powerful races. Therefore, Sun-Class Lords were pretty much equal to gods at this point; they represented invincibility and strength!
Even the most optimistic dreamer at Zenit didn’t imagine that Zenit could one day have a Sun-Class Lord who usually only appeared in high-level empires!
This shocking and upbeat news instantly diluted the sadness and sorrow brought by death and the war.
Therefore, a strange scene appeared.
The Zenitians who just experienced the pain and terror brought by the battle didn’t look anxious nor afraid. Instead, they all seemed happy and excited. When they saw their friends, the first thing that they said to each other was this,
Hey, did you hear? Our empire now has a Sun-Class Lord…
…
The initial victory pushed away a lot of the dark clouds that were floating above the giant bear of the north.
The victory in this St. Petersburg defense battle broke down the offensive momentum of the enemies, but the situation wasn’t that bright for Zenit where the citizens could celebrate.
From the reports that the scouts send back, the united troops that still had about 200,000 soldiers backed to the Red Leaf Province of Zenit which was about 50 kilometers away from St. Petersburg. They were trying to use the wide Red Leaf River as a natural barrier to block the soldiers of Zenit, and they got the opportunity to regroup and strategize. Also, more reinforcement would be on their way, and they were going to attack St. Petersburg again.
Therefore, this war was far from over!
At least the six provinces of Zenit were now in control of the enemies.
To the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Royal Family, the St. Petersburg defense battle was only the turning point in this war. The complete victory could only be claimed when all the invaders were kicked out of the land of Zenit!
Inside the Capital, all the main battle legions were doing their last bit of preparation, and white command paper flew out of the Imperial Military Headquarters and the Royal Palace like snow.
That night, the Royal Family issued the second conscription order using the name of Emperor Yassin. All the male citizens of Zenit were obligated to pick up weapons and protect the empire.
At the same time, the ill Emperor Yassin gave another war mobilization order, and he handed off the military power that was always grasped in his hand; this was really rare.
Now, all the nobles, affiliated kingdoms, castellans, and even prominent families could create their own troops and militia by recruiting soldiers. They could have independence and attack the invaders on their own. All the people who killed enemies would be rewarded, and even ordinary citizens could become generals and nobles while nobles could increase their ranks.
What was the most surprising was the third order from Emperor Yassin; it was heard that Emperor Yassin who was really ill woke up from his sleep and crowned the title of Imperial Martial Saint to King Alexander of Chambord.
After Krasic, Fei became the next Martial Saint of Zenit, and he could enjoy all the privileges as the Martial Saint and reside on Martial Saint Mountain.
Fei was the first Martial Saint of Zenit who came from an affiliated kingdom.
However, no one objected.
After this battle, no one in the Zenit Empire dared to offend the King of Chambord, including the Royal Family. This young king who grew up incredibly fast was going to become someone above all rules, and his words could determine the life and death of everyone in the empire, including nobles and royals.
Also, the King of Chambord had a group of loyal fans and believers in the military and St. Petersburg.
As long as Fei issued a command, many warriors and brave people would follow his lead.
Since this was still wartime, the king rejected the idea of having a big appointment ceremony, and he got onto Martial Saint Mountain that night.
Residing in the center of the Capital, he monitored the area and became the protector of the land.
Whenever someone looked up at Martial Saint Mountain, they felt a sense of security that they never felt before!
