Chapter 302
302 – Fiend Baron Heart
Bracy spoke gravely: “People with great aspirations don’t care about trifles. Marshal Ian flooded the forces of His Highness André, proving that he is a great military commander and is the best man to suppress His Highness André. As for the refugees, we can find other ways to settle them. It’s imperative to eliminate His Highness André in one breath.”
Garça was silent for a moment. Frowning, he handed Bracy several documents.
When Bracy took a look, he saw the documents report that Yang Feng cultivated his forces in the 6 corps, suspecting him of deliberate misconduct. At the same time, there were various rumors in the St. Tulan City that Yang Feng wanted to control the 6 corps and establish himself as the ruler in the south of the empire.
Bracy said with decisiveness that could slice nails and cut iron: “They are just rumors, totally untrustworthy.”
Garça suddenly asked: “Bracy, with André’s strength greatly impaired, is it certain that Goyena won’t be able to defeat him if he is made marshal?”
Bracy secretly sighed, knowing that Garça has made up his mind. He replied somewhat disheartened: “I dare not speculate, but Marshal Ian is the best candidate.”
Garça remained silent for a while, then waved his hand and said: “Okay, you go back!”
Bracy sighed helplessly and withdrew himself: “Yes, Your Majesty!”
2 days later, more than 30 griffins descended into the rebellion suppression headquarters from the sky.
“Marshal Ian, His Majesty has ordered to remove you from the position of marshal and call you back to the St. Tulan City. I will take over the position of marshal! Here is the document!” When Goyena met Yang Feng, he announced Garça’s order and produced the document issued by the latter.
After checking the document, Yang Feng handed his marshal badge to Goyena and said with a smile: “Here you go, Goyena. My people are transferring refugees of the Notice Province. Please take care of them.”
Goyena was secretly relieved to see Yang Feng hand over his authority so straightforwardly. He was a little nervous before coming here. He knew very well that once the thought manifested in Yang Feng’s heart, the latter would commit murder without hesitation. If it was up to him, he would avoid antagonizing such a person at all cost.
Goyena spoke with a smile: “Rest assured, Duke Ian, I will take good care of your people, I will take care of them as if they are my own.”
After the handover, Yang Feng took 500 personal guards and left for the St. Tulan City.
Andro spoke indignantly: “Lord! Why have you relinquished the power of general so easily to him? It was clearly us who beat André. Now that we are one step away from utterly defeating André, Goyena came to reap the benefits. That’s really despicable!!”
The rebellion suppression marshal had the power to command 300,000 troops, and the few nearby provinces had to obey their orders. The power was immense.
After Yang Feng defeated André, Goyena came and took the position of the rebellion suppression marshal. This left Andro ticked off.
Yang Feng’s eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he said with a faint smile: “The position of rebellion suppression marshal is cumbersome. I have no interest in it. Besides, we obtained enough benefits from this endeavour. The Red Earth Wasteland, Funes Province, they are our foundation. Once the more than 10 million people of the Notice Province are transported to the Red Earth Wasteland and Funes Province, we will have made a killing.”
Yang Feng was appointed as the rebellion suppression marshal by Garça. He himself had no foundation in the Morrince Empire’s military. As such, the position of marshal could be taken away by Garça. Consequently, Yang Feng didn’t care about this position. The Red Earth Wasteland and Funes Province were Yang Feng’s fiefs and his real foundation.
Andro thought it over, then looked at Yang Feng with admiration in his eyes and praised sincerely: “So that’s how it is! No wonder I’ve been seeing so many caravans and slave traders in the Notice Province these days! With their help, we can more conveniently transfer the refugees from the Notice Province. Lord, you are wise!”
The flood washed away the fields and homes of most of the people in the Notice Province, reducing them to refugees. As such, as their savior, Yang Feng could transfer them to the Red Earth Wasteland and Funes Province.
As Yang Feng had offered a high price of 10 gold coins per refugee, the Notice Province was full of caravans of different sizes at the moment.
Stimulated by the gold coins, numerous caravans – as if hungry wolves – rushed toward the Notice Province and began to transport refugees to the Red Earth Wasteland and Funes Province.
The St. Tulan City, inside the imperial study.
“Ian, you’ve done a good job, you’ve lived up to my expectations.” Sitting on the magic chair in the imperial study that only the emperor could sit on, Garça looked at Yang Feng standing in front of him with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Yang Feng handing over the power of general to Goyena without hesitation left Garça satisfied.
Yang Feng smiled and spoke with some urgency: “Thanks to your blessing, Your Majesty, your servant was able to defeat André smoothly. Your Majesty, I should be able to enter the royal treasury and select 2 more treasures, right?”
Garça frowned slightly at first, then relaxed his eyebrows, showed a smile, and clapped his hands, saying: “Of course!”
There were ripples in space, and the pinnacle Legend rank powerhouse Riehen appeared from the void. He spoke deferentially: “Your Majesty.”
Garça said: “Riehen, take him to the treasury to pick 2 treasures.”
“Yes! Your Majesty! ” Riehen responded. He scanned Yang Feng with a glance, then reached out with his hand, and a spatial portal appeared in front of him. He spoke apathetically: “Come with me!”
Yang Feng stepped into the spatial portal and, just like last time, entered the royal treasury of the Morrince Empire.
As soon as he entered the royal treasury, Yang Feng went directly to the fiend area and stared at the sealed fiend baron heart, musing. A fiend baron was a frightening existence of the Starry Sky Warlock rank. Fiend baron hearts were an extremely rare good. Once Yang Feng got his hands on the fiend baron heart, he could create a Fiend Bloodline Warlock family.
Yang Feng’s eyes glimmered with peculiar light, and he grabbed the fiend baron heart: “Right, with the cyan akatani star core plus this fiend baron heart, I can make that treasure. Although it won’t improve my cultivation base. However, it can substantially improve my battle prowess short term.”
After putting the fiend baron heart away, Yang Feng went toward the ore area.
Although there were also countless treasures in the remaining areas, but for Yang Feng, the precious ores in the ore area had the greatest use.
There were many dragon crystals in the dragon area, yet there were no demigod rank dragon crystals, only Legend rank. With such dragon crystals, level-4 extraordinary life form rank battle robots could be made at most, which had little effect on increasing Yang Feng’s fighting strength.
“This is inert atlam stone, one of the main materials for making warp gates. The inert atlam stone here can be used to make 5 warp gates with a range of 3,000 kilometers.” Yang Feng stopped in front of an enormous piece of red ore, and his eyes flickered with a strange light.
Warp gate technology was one of the technologies grasped by xizu. As long as a huge amount of energy was consumed, people could cross a great distance by traveling from one warp gate to another.
The red ore was the core material for making warp gates. Inert atlam stone could only be created by using a more superior energy and matter converter – level-2 fortified stronghold and upwards – at the expense of a large amount of energy and materials.
If he could make 5 warp gates, Yang Feng could return to the Red Earth Wasteland’s Miracle City from the St. Tulan City in under a minute. With warp gates, Yang Feng could go from one territory of his to another at any time, which was equivalent to bringing his territories closer.
The maximum distance for warp gates wasn’t only 3,000 kilometers, but the quality and quantity of the inert atlam stone weren’t up to par and sufficient respectively. It could only be used to make warp gates to cross 3,000 kilometers.
“Star river xuan chong stone, the core material for super gravity gun, this is it!” Yang Feng hesitated again and again, then his eyes finally fell on a huge piece of black ore, and he made a decision. He grabbed at the huge piece of black ore.
With a flash of light, the star river xuan chong stone flew directly into Yang Feng’s hand.
Warp gates could enhance Yang Feng’s control over the forces under his command, while the star river xuan chong stone could substantially enhance his fighting strength and diversify his means. Yang Feng ultimately chose to improve his fighting ability.
Warlock cultivation followed a prescribed order. Yang Feng already assessed his current cultivation speed. If nothing unexpected happened, it will take him a dozen years at the fastest to promote to a Great Warlock. As such, it was particularly important to enhance his fighting capability. Otherwise, once he was dead, all his schemes will be for naught.
After selecting the treasures he wanted from the royal treasury, Yang Feng returned to the imperial study, and after humoring Garça for a while, he left the Victory Palace.
When Yang Feng left the Victory Palace, he went straight to his villa. After entering his villa, he declined seeing any visitors.
Shortly afterward, outside the St. Tulan City, a level-4 extraordinary life form thunder falcon accompanied by numerous bolts of lightning appeared midair, carrying Yang Feng toward the Miracle City at the terrifying speed of Mach 5.
