"Send someone to go and investigate this. We need to figure out all the facts as soon as possible! We need to know who exactly is advancing into Moon-Class, and I need to report this back to Crown Prince His Highness immediately!"
"As you wish, Sir!" a soldier quickly left the palace.
As Barkov stood still in front of the palace and stared at the dense lightning bolts and thick clouds, he sighed with a concerned expression on his face.
Barkov was a little noble whose family went broke in St. Petersburg, and even the people in the ghettos in the Capital once looked down at him. Later, he met Arshavin, and the Crown Prince instantly liked him. A lot of outsiders contributed it to his flattering skills, and they thought that he was like a lap dog to the Crown Prince. He was vicious and was able to destroy anyone with his schemes, and people thought he was going to be taken out by the Crown Prince once he was no longer useful.
However, these ordinary folks would never know that the real reason why Arshavin liked him was that of his strong natural senses to danger and his talent in finding the best solution in a messy and noisy situation.
Without great abilities, a flatterer would never be in the attention of the influential people; that was a principle that holds true in any situation.
For the last couple of days, Barkov sensed great danger from Chambord. In his eyes, this King of Chambord was an unparalleled genius.
For the last while, he had been studying the Law of the Twelve Tables that was created by the King of Chambord and got him the nickname, [Saint King].
In the beginning, Barkov treated it like a joke, nothing serious at all. However, the more he studied it, the more stunned he was. In the end, he really felt like it was a set of laws that could be named as saint laws.
Also, the magic traffic lights, strange traffic laws, magic central water system and sewer system, magic teleportation system, Reverse Whale Battleship, the organization of the six departments, and a thriving university...... All of these were completely different compared to the Zenit Empire, giving Barkov a chill to his bones.
He felt like this Chambord was an empire that was within the Zenit Empire, and it was trying to recreate the ancient magic civilization from the Mythical Era.
To be honest, after seeing and hearing everything that was going on at Chambord, Barkov even started to admire the King of Chambord subconsciously.
Compared with the arrogant warriors from the [Iron Blood Legion], Barkov had been worrying about the future. He couldn't figure out why the Crown Prince, who was intelligent and rational, would want to be hostile toward the King of Chambord.
"Why can't I figure out the grudge between them? If the Crown Prince is friendly toward Chambord and used Elder Princess' relationship, he could pull Chambord to his side. By then, he would become the next emperor without a doubt. Why can't he see this? What is going on?" Barkov fell into a state of deep thoughts.
......
At the same time, many different people in various locations in the Chambord City were shocked.
Fei's rise attracted a lot of people's attention. Therefore, even the forces in the nearby empires sent people into the Chambord City to monitor what was going on in this remote small city that was insignificant less than a year ago.
Of course, on top of monitoring the situation, they all had different goals and objectives.
The breathtaking phenomenon that was taking place instantly pulled their attention.
"Someone is advancing into the realm of Moon-Class?"
"Who is it?"
"The King of Chambord sure is a genius! In less than a year, he went from a weak, useless king to a Moon-Class Elite?!"
"Quick! Investigate! Who is going through this nature's challenge?"
"Hehe, other idiots might not know, but we already got the information. The King of Chambord already advanced into Moon-Class and is now at an unimaginable level. When this king was breakthrough the threshold at Dual-Flags City, the phenomenon was huge! However, these idiots don't believe that it was the King of Chambord who caused that. God! In such a short time, another Moon-Class Elite is appearing in Chambord. Who is it?"
"This aura...... he isn't the King of Chambord. Lightning-elemental warrior energy...... Could it be that former No. 1 Warrior of Chambord, Lampard?...... This can't be right...... he was only a low-tier Nine-Star Warrior half a month ago. How can he obtain several breakthroughs in such a short time? Someone go and investigate!"
Many people had the same reaction in different places.
The wind and clouds were transforming, and the lightning bolts were flashing.
As the dark clouds covered the sky above this ancient city, the sea of lightning landed within the castle.
At the same time, the citizens of Chambord who received the news ahead of time and were waiting in their homes got nervous as they stared at the dancing lightning bolts in the sky. They all knew that Mr. Lampard was advancing toward a higher realm, and they all placed their hands together and prayed for this most loyal guardian of the kingdom.
Tens of thousands of people were praying for Lampard at the same time.
......
-On the plaza-
Lampard going through nature's challenge and becoming a Moon-Class Elite was a part of Fei's plan.
There was one objective that the king wanted to achieve with this: he wanted to lightly reveal some of Chambord's strength to shock the people who were plotting against the kingdom. This would save him a lot of headache in the future.
This was a show meant for the people who were spying on Chambord in the dark; he wanted them to know that they were no match for Chambord!
The flashy lightning bolts blurred the viewers' vision, and these lightning bolts fell from the sky like water droplets in a heavy storm; it felt endless.
Fortunately, protective array formations were placed around the plaza, and most of the powers of the lightning bolts were blocked off when they dispersed into the area. Otherwise, the buildings in the city would be severely damaged.
At the moment, all the thousands of elites of Chambord were holding onto their breaths as they watched nervously.
According to the passage of time, a regular nature's challenge should be ending by now. However, Lampard's nature's challenge was different. The lightning bolts were dropping down non-stop, and they were getting thicker and more powerful. It felt like the most crucial moment of this process wasn't even here yet.
Lion-like roars sounded from the sea of lightning on the plaza, and Lampard's aura was growing stronger and stronger.
Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and observed. His sharp vision passed through the layers of lightning and saw Lampard standing in the center.
This former No. 1 Warrior of Chambord was standing straight like an unyielding spear, and he was calmly directing the lightning energy into his body. As his body was being tempered, his aura and power were slowly transforming.
"The most crucial moment is here! I didn't expect Uncle Lampard to have so much accumulation. His nature's challenge is far more intense compared to others!" Fei gradually calmed down.
However, sudden changes occurred at this moment.
Whoosh!
A dash of silver sword energy flew toward Lampard while it hid among the flashy lightning bolts that were striking toward him.
"Hehehehe...... A little affiliated kingdom like Chambord doesn't need another Moon-Class Elite. You better die!" A hoarse yet high-pitched laughter sounded, and a sharp murderous spirit also appeared.
While a master was going through nature's challenge, his or her strength and mind would be 100% focused on fighting against the natural elements; they couldn't spare any energy to other matters. If they were disturbed, the huge amount of natural elements would lash out on them and instantly kill them.
The fact that someone chose to sneak-attack at this moment spoke to their viciousness.
The most powerful saint seiyas in the area got anxious, and they instantly screamed out.
Fei's expression also changed.
As his mind changed, he and [The Throne of Chaos] both disappeared. In the next split second, he appeared in front of that silver sword energy and grasped it, instantly obliterating the sword energy that could kill a New Moon Elite as if it was a dash of smoke.
"Huh?" a surprised gasp sounded. It seemed like this person was shocked that the King of Chambord could easily break his strike.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost at the same time, three silver sword energies that were more powerful appeared in three different locations and shot toward Lampard at three different angles.
The mysterious enemy was mighty, and this person was determined to kill Lampard.
The danger was here!
