Chapter 259: Chapter259:Ambera City
"I'm Enzo." Enzo said.
"Enzo?" The silver-armored youth nodded slightly and continued, "From your age, it's clear that you're older than me, so I'll call you Brother Enzo. Once we get to the main city of Ambera, if you have time, I'd love to show you around. I've grown up in the city since I was little."
"Ambera City…" Upon hearing the name of the city, Enzo smiled and nodded.
"It seems that the place I landed belongs to the Ambera region." Enzo thought to himself. "From Anarion's description, Ambera must be a large city, and there might be records about this world there."
"I need to learn more about this world."
"Besides that, in a developed civilization, currency is always important."
"The materials from the Fierce Beasts I've hunted should be worth quite a bit."
Before Anarion and the others found him, Enzo already had plans for what he should do next. He wasn't from this world, and without understanding the specific situation or the high-level power dynamics, he needed to keep his identity a secret.
Especially since he had just arrived in the Fierce Beast world, it was better to stay low-key.
This was also the reason Enzo chose to enter the forest instead of flying directly to the city.
By gathering some Fierce Beast materials in the forest to sell, he could earn some currency. According to Anarion's description, the forest where they currently were stretched over a hundred kilometers and could only be considered an ordinary Fierce Beast forest. The strongest Fierce Beasts in it were only Level 6 or Level 7, with not a single Level 8 to be found.
However, from Enzo's own experience, this world was already far more powerful than the Disaster World.
In the Disaster World, there weren't nearly as many formidable Fierce Beasts.
Anarion's conversation with Enzo was noticed by Rennes and some of the guards following behind.
"This silly kid really is lucky to have a bunch of us looking out for him." One guard commented.
"Yeah, the young master is too soft-hearted. If it were me, I wouldn't bother." Another replied.
"Hehe, guys, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this Enzo kid turn around, scared silly by the Poison Fang Beast that lunged at him. I really don't know how this clueless guy had the guts to enter the Fierce Beast forest. Fortunately, he only stayed on the outskirts. Otherwise, he'd have turned into Fierce Beast dung by now!"
The guards whispered among themselves.
"Shut up!"
Rennes barked, and the guards' chatter immediately ceased.
"Everyone, be careful. We're on our way back to the city now, and it's still thousands of kilometers away. There are often bandits around here."
"Captain, with you here, what fool would dare to come after us?" One guard replied.
"Yeah, they'd be asking for death if they did." Another chimed in.
The burly man cast a glance at Enzo, feeling little goodwill toward this stranger they had rescued. He was quite exasperated by the young master's kind heart. He understood well that this was a world that revered power, where all sorts of schemes and killings could happen. A good heart would only lead to big trouble for the young master.
"The master is too indulgent with the young master, saying he wants to wait until the young master comes of age before letting him experience some hardships." The burly man thought to himself, shaking his head.
…
On the wide, flat road, a group of figures was swiftly advancing, which was Enzo and Anarion's team, chatting comfortably as they traveled.
"Look, in the distance is our main city of Ambera! We're about half an hour away from it."
Anarion said, pointing excitedly at the large, blurred outline of the city ahead.
Suddenly, a rumble echoed.
As Enzo and the team moved forward, they felt the ground vibrating beneath them.
Everyone turned to look back and saw a massive dark shadow rapidly approaching from the distance. While others might not have been able to see clearly, Enzo instantly recognized that it was a large convoy. The members of this convoy were riding various tamed beasts, some tall and others winged, sprinting at incredible speeds.
"Tamed Fierce Beasts!"
Enzo recognized many of the creatures being ridden as Fierce Beasts he had previously hunted in the forest.
"We need to move aside." The burly man commanded.
The team quickly stepped aside to make way.
The massive convoy, with hundreds of tamed beasts, thundered past. The sturdy hooves and sharp claws of the beasts pounded against the ground, sending dust flying into the air, which was then quickly pulled back down by gravity.
"Haha, isn't this Young Master Anarion?"
A piercing laugh swept through the air like a storm, and the massive convoy that had just rushed past quickly came to a halt. Dozens of riders on their tamed beasts galloped toward Enzo and the others, arriving before them in the blink of an eye.
Leading this cavalry was a tall, handsome young man.
He was mounted on an extraordinary beast covered in scales, resembling a tiger but measuring over ten meters long. The young man looked down at Anarion with a hint of pride on his face.
"Ricardo!" The silver-armored youth's expression changed.
"Tsk tsk, it seems our genius archer is scared." The tall, handsome young man said, his expression gradually turning cold. He smirked, his eyes narrowing slightly, and continued, "I never expected to run into you outside the city. I must say, today is truly a lucky day! Anarion, care to guess what you'll be facing next?"
"Young Master Ricardo!"
A deep voice suddenly boomed as Rennes stepped forward. His gaze swept over the large group behind the handsome young man. With a low tone, he said, "Our master has some ties with your father. I hope Young Master Ricardo won't do anything foolish."
"I'm the one speaking. Who asked you to butt in?"
The tall, handsome young man shouted angrily, his face contorted in rage as he coldly retorted, "Get lost!"
"Ricardo, shut up." The silver-armored youth shouted back.
"Haha, Anarion, don't you see the situation clearly? Outside the city, your old man won't be able to save you in time." the tall, handsome young man sneered, his features contorted with rage. The muscles in his face twitched slightly, and his eyes seemed to glint with the coldness of a venomous snake as he coldly said, "I haven't forgotten the humiliation you inflicted on me six months ago."
Enzo furrowed his brows.
The two sides were clearly mismatched.
Ricardo's group, not even counting the larger forces behind them, included several dozen subordinates, with one Level 8 and nine Level 7 fighters among them. On Anarion's side, the strongest, Rennes, was merely at Level 7.
"This is bad." Rennes thought anxiously. "The strong members in this group make up almost half of Ricardo's family's power. It's strange for so many strong fighters to come out with him."
"What should we do, Captain?"
"Captain, behind Young Master Ricardo is one of the three strongest in their family, a Level 8 powerhouse! He alone could wipe us out."
The team was in disarray.
The silver-armored youth's eyes blazed with fury as he glared at the tall young man on the Fierce Beast, shouting, "Ricardo, whatever you've got, bring it on!"
"Oh, such a strong demeanor! Truly impressive."
The tall, handsome young man laughed mockingly. Then his expression darkened, and he shouted, "Men, teach this bunch a good lesson, but don't kill them. I, Ricardo, am not that ruthless. And make sure to capture Anarion. I want to have some fun with him."
"Yes!" The group of riders on the Fierce Beasts responded in unison.
Rennes and the guards drew their weapons simultaneously.
The tall boy on Fierce Beast's back sneered, "If anyone resists, kill them directly. Of course, Young Master Anarion, don't kill him. He's a good brother who grew up with me since we were young."
"Let's go!"
In an instant, the fierce group of warriors leaped off their Fierce Beasts, charging directly at Anarion's team.
Enzo stood beside Anarion, frowning slightly, feeling a sense of restlessness. The unexpected incident with the Starry Sky teleportation had brought him to this world, and having just arrived in the Fierce Beast realm, Enzo didn't want to create too much of a commotion.
"Haha!"
"Death to the rebels!"
The group of fierce warriors charged forward with wild laughter.
Among them was a lean man dressed in rough animal hides, carrying a deep red battle knife. He scanned the silver-armored youth's guard team, his gaze lingering especially on Rennes.
Rennes and his guards looked grim.
They wanted to fight back but hesitated, while Anarion ground his teeth in frustration.
"Sigh..." Enzo sighed softly, and a surge of immense mental power erupted, crashing toward Ricardo and his group like a towering wave, though it was invisible to the naked eye.
Boom!
The charging warriors and Ricardo felt a jolt in their minds.
"Get lost!"
It was as if thunder had exploded and mountains were collapsing, echoing in the minds of the dozens before him.
An overwhelming pressure descended, and just as they all felt they couldn't resist and were about to be annihilated, that pressure vanished as if it had never existed.
However, the lingering echo in their minds indicated that it had all been real.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost..."
Ricardo and his group fell from the air, no longer continuing their attack.
He glanced at Anarion's team and shot Anarion a fierce glare, reluctantly saying, "Let's go!"
A large group of people left in a cloud of dust.
Watching the once arrogant group leave in defeat, both Anarion and his subordinates, Rennes and the guards, were filled with confusion.
"Why did they leave?"
"W-what… they just left like this?"
The guards couldn't believe they had escaped disaster so easily.
"Impossible."Anarion widened her eyes and gritted her teeth." Ricardo, that bastard, definitely didn't have such good intentions and let me go like this. Something unexpected must have happened. "
