While Barkov was in fear, many people were also reacting to this news as well.
"What? The person who advanced isn't the King of Chambord?"
"Hahaha! Like I thought! It is Frank Lampard! Damn! Now, Chambord has two Moon-Class Elites when including the king himself. With this power, Chambord could break away from Zenit and establish its own empire! Who could stop Chambord from doing whatever it wants now in Zenit?"
"Quickly pass this information back to our family leader! We Beag Family need to forget about our resent toward Chambord and give up on seeking revenge. We shouldn't try to battle with the King of Chambord!"
"Two moons in one kingdom; Chambord is on the rise!"
"We heard that the King of Chambord is getting married in 13 days! Pass this information to our lord! We can prepare gifts ahead of time. If we want to get on the good side of Chambord, we need to give up on something. In this case, we need to show our stance before everyone else! If we do it late, it would be meaningless!"
"Hahaha! Great! The powerful Chambord is like an awkward, poisonous thorn to the Zenit Empire! Hehe, how could the royal family of Zenit let someone else take over a big region of their territory? A civil war is about to break out in Zenit! If we just help the King of Chambord develop his ambition, the Zenit Empire will fall into chaos! Then, our Spartax Empire could be revived!"
"Send someone back to Eindhoven immediately! Report to the general; tell her that a Moon-Class Elite is born in Chambord. Tell her every single detail and ask her to give us further instructions!"
The spies and agents of various forces quickly made their calculations and decided on what to do after experiencing the shock.
......
-A well-hidden secret room in a basement at the Chambord City-
"Why didn't you guys move with me? Ah! Why didn't you! Humph! You are all selfish and want me to make a fool out of myself! Don't you know the consequences of your actions? How could you let Chambord get a new Moon-Class Elite? If Master knows about this, how could we withstand his anger?"
There was a deep fist mark on this man's right shoulder, and it looked terrifying. His entire right shoulder almost got destroyed, and that silver energy was still dancing on that wound, stopping it from healing.
This was the mysterious person who tried to kill Lampard and got injured by Fei instead.
"Humph! Disov! You ignored Master's order and tried to sneak-attack alone to get the credit! You already made the King of Chambord aware, and it would be harder to execute our plan now! How do you still have the face to blame us? On top of that, you already experienced the King of Chambord's strength first-hand. Even if we all attack him together, we couldn't do anything to him. Instead, we would alert him more, get injured, and ruin Master's plan!"
"You...... Excuses! All excuses! Rakanic, doesn't matter what you say, it couldn't deny the fact that you are a coward who doesn't dare to face the King of Chambord!"
"Humph! That is better than being a dumb, reckless fool like you!"
"You......"
"Alright, stop arguing, you two!" Another deep and stern voice sounded, "Rakanic is right. This King of Chambord is too terrifying. Even if we team up as four, we can't defeat him. The increase in his strength is monstrous...... We should move in secret and do what the Master planned. When Master comes here, everything will be taken care of!"
"However, Disov, what you did today isn't useless. At least we now know how powerful the King of Chambord really is, as well as the relative strengths of the other masters in Chambord. Hehehe, except for the King of Chambord and that person who just advanced today, no one else could pose a threat to us!"
"Remember, we have to be careful in the next few days. If there are no urgent matters, don't go out! The people below us could execute the rest of the plans. Remember! We couldn't attract the King of Chambord's attention!"
Silver magic runes were engraved onto the walls, and this secret room concealed their auras and sensations.
These four mysterious masters continued their discussion and talked about their schemes, and their voices slowly quieted down.
......
-Chambord City, Tiananmen Square-
More and more citizens of Chambord rushed out of their homes and ran toward the plaza after the lightning bolts and the thick dark clouds were gone. The defensive magic arrays around the square were put away, and the bylaw enforcement officers who were locking this place down moved so that the joyous and cheerful citizens could get into the plaza.
On this continent that was ruled by the law of the jungle, the birth of a Moon-Class Elite was significant to any kingdom or empire; any kinds of celebration couldn't be overboard.
The cheers continued, and Lampard was treated like a legendary hero.
Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and lowered it onto the giant stone pillar in the center of the plaza. As he glanced around the excited crowd, he felt very proud.
After a while, he waved his hand.
All the cheering stopped, and tens of thousands of heated gazes focused on him; everyone was waiting for him to say something.
"Today is a day that will be recorded onto the history book of Chambord! Today, we got a powerful guardian! Today, we got the strength to fight back the bullies! Today, we obtained the most powerful warriors in the history of Chambord!!"
Fei's voice quickly got drowned in the thunder-like applauses and cheers.
After a while when the cheering finally died down a little, Fei continued, "Today, as the King of Chambord, I have something important to announce to all the citizens of Chambord......"
He took out a divy crystal from his storage space, and he injected a little bit of magic energy into it. Dashes of colorful lights were emitted from the crystal, and it projected out a giant movie-like video in the sky.
It was a scene that many Chambordians were familiar with; it showed the numerous mountains and forests behind Chambord. However, the view of such scenery from the sky was quite novel to them.
Under Fei's control, the video changed.
There were five tall and majestic mountains that pierced into the clouds, and it looked like they were situated on the five points of a pentagram. There were giant rocks, ancient trees, morning mists, and white clouds...... It looked like a paradise in heaven.
There were numerous mountains connected to the back mountain of Chambord, and it was heard that many demon beasts resided in there. In addition, the terrains were rough, and there were no paths into it. Therefore, even Chambordians who had lived in this place for generations would rarely go in there. To Chambordians, it was an explored land of mystery.
After seeing this, a lot of people got curious.
"Does the king want to conquer this terrifying and mysterious 'back garden' of Chambord?" they thought.
"I have named these five mountains, Five Sword Sky Mountains. From now on, they would be the residences of the royal family of Chambord. As the king, I have decided to move the King's Palace into the Five Sword Sky Mountains, and I would be trying to cultivate and progress on the path of power......" Fei paused for a second when he saw the surprised and sad expressions on his people's faces. Then, he continued, "After a year of development, the six departments are getting more and more efficient, and the Law of the 12 Tables are refined. Everything is well under control; Mr. Bast and Mr. Brook are caring and just, and the officials in the six departments are elites elected by the people. All the administrative and military duties are well delegated and organized, and I, the king, doesn't need to get involved for the citizens to live great lives."
At this point, a lot of people understood the situation.
On the Azeroth Continent, it wasn't uncommon that kings and emperors weren't involved in the management of their kingdoms and empires.
After all, this world was ruled by power, and the nobles and royals had a lot more resources and could obtain great warrior energy and magic energy cultivation techniques.
Therefore, a lot of rulers and upper-class people were focused on cultivation and lived in seclusion, and all the managing of their lands were delegated to loyal and capable ministers.
