“Furthermore, you need to launch another attack on Feiguang City immediately. There is something we require there.”

“But breaking through Feiguang City now is almost impossible,” Russell replied without hesitation and frowned.

“Do you think the people of Tressburg are fools? This time, without breaking through, they will definitely see through the mist I set up earlier and won’t give us such an opportunity again.

In addition, with the loss of the hundred thousand-strong army attacking Feiguang City and the capture of the Eighth Fleet, I need to formulate a new offensive strategy. It’s impossible to commit a large force to that city in the short term.”

Upon hearing this, the tone of the Silver Masked Deceiver also turned cold.

“This was the condition we agreed on earlier. You don’t have the right to refuse. Without our support, do you think you would have come this far today?

Do you really believe that you can defeat the Lienhardt Grand Duchy on your own?”

These words were spoken without reservation, even with a hint of disdain, infuriating Russell.

Veins bulged on his forehead, fists clenched, and his copper-bell eyes stared angrily.

The Silver Masked Deceiver stood his ground, his eyes carrying a barely noticeable hint of contempt.

Before the organization intervened, the Kingdom of Bass was one of the weakest among the four nations along the western coast of the Western Midland Sea. They wouldn’t have even considered such a weak kingdom if they didn’t have a specific purpose in mind.

Once the organization withdrew all its forces, the rapidly expanding Kingdom of Bass would quickly revert to its original state within just a couple of years.

As a Marshal, Russell was clearly aware of this, and even in his current state of anger, he had to grit his teeth, hold back his anger, and say, “We will attack Feiguang City again, but not now.

And don’t forget, if we fail, you won’t get anything either!”

The Silver Masked Deceiver fell silent for a moment. “Alright, we can allow you more time, but it must be as soon as possible, and you must also rescue the Revered Envoy.”

Russell nodded with an unpleasant expression.

Seeing this, the Silver Masked Deceiver’s gaze softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “Now focus your attention on that Glory Lord named Ji Chen. He may become our biggest obstacle in the future. Kill him as soon as possible, and you can salvage some prestige.”

“But that Glory Lord won’t be stupid enough to engage our army head-on. Once he escapes back into the ocean, it will be difficult for us to find an opportunity to capture him.”

The Silver Masked Deceiver’s eyes gleamed with a hint of cunning. “Perhaps we can make use of other Glory Lords. As long as there’s enough interest, they can be very useful tools.”

Hundreds of miles away, standing by the seaside, was Feiguang City.

A day passed since the siege.

Ji Chen reclined on a plush sofa, his feet resting on a luxurious carpet made from the fur of some unknown magical beast. Through intricately carved windows, he gazed at the finely trimmed flowers and plants in the courtyard.

As the one who had saved the city in its hour of need, he naturally received the respect and gratitude of the entire city’s military and civilians.

Under Sylvansai’s arrangement, he stayed in a luxurious mansion at the city center, a place meant for hosting distinguished guests. In this sprawling estate covering thousands of acres, he enjoyed the finest things the city had to offer, with dozens of maids and servants attending to his needs around the clock.

However, according to Sylvansai himself, the value of these material possessions, which could be measured in terms of money, didn’t even compare to one-thousandth of what Ji Chen had done.

Without his intervention earlier, it’s likely that the city would have been reduced to ruins beneath the iron hooves of the Bass Kingdom by now.

Ji Chen took full advantage of these luxuries without any guilt.

He wasn’t the kind of hero from adventure novels who defeats a dragon and saves the world but lives a humble life.

For him, the more he did, the more respect he deserved.

After all the effort he had put in, wasn’t he allowed to enjoy himself a little?

The great victory in the Battle of Feiguang City didn’t mean the overall victory in the entire war. Tens of thousands of Bass Kingdom soldiers were still deployed in the vast northern regions of Feiguang City, either in battle or in a standoff with Lienhardt soldiers. There were still at least seven well-armed steel fleets roaming the expansive ocean, and within the Bass Kingdom’s borders, there were many more reserves.

The loss of a hundred thousand soldiers was indeed heavy, but it didn’t render the enemy incapable of launching further attacks. In terms of military strength, the Bass Kingdom still held a certain advantage at this moment.

Therefore, post-war Feiguang City remained a bustling hub of activity. The city walls were repaired, damaged structures restored, wounded soldiers treated, the dead buried, reserves mobilized, and scouts dispatched to monitor enemy movements.

This bustling scene was in stark contrast to Ji Chen’s nearly idle state, much like the difference in the number of cicadas on a tree branch.

Just as he was contemplating what to do next, a system notification reminded him, and suddenly, he received a private message request.

With a casual click, he saw the sender’s name: I_Love_Black_Stockings.

“Big boss, are you currently in Feiguang City in the Lienhardt Grand Duchy?”

Could it be that events happening here had quickly spread hundreds of kilometers away to King Kong Island?

That seemed unusually fast.

“Yes, what’s the matter?

“Ah! It’s really you! We’ve got a big problem. Hurry and check the forum!”

Ji Chen furrowed his brow. Judging from I_Love_Black_Stockings’ words, it seemed like something related to him had occurred..
