Chapter 893: 893
Amidst the Chambordians’ passionate cheers, the expeditionary troop finally left on their journey .
All the Gold Saints appeared in the expeditionary troop, and they passed Zuli River using a teleportation array, appearing in the new city on the other side of the river .
The troop was moving really fast . In less than half an hour, the flags of the expeditionary troops had already disappeared below the green horizon that was created by the grass on the vast plain .
In the sky above Chambord City, the two queens sat on the back of Blacky and looked in the direction that the expeditionary troop had traveled . Flying beasts, beauties, white clouds, and blue sky created an outstanding image as a gentle breeze blew by .
At the same time, Brook and Bast stood in front of the watchtower on the defense wall, and mysterious smiles appeared on their faces .
“Now, the bugs that are hiding in the city should be moving soon, right?” Bast asked . He was wearing a faint-blue robe, and it was made by Chambord’s Royal Clothing Shop, accentuating this handsome old man’s fanciness and prestige .
As Chambord’s strength continued to climb, these officials who had been in their positions for a long time gradually obtained the auras of top-level decision makers . In the old days, Bast was only a fallen noble, and he had to run around and try his best to help his future son-in-law to keep the throne . As a result, he was always exhausted, and he didn’t have a high status in Chambord . Now, he was one of the few people in Chambord who were only one level below the king . Also, since he was now the father-in-law of the king, his status was even more prestigious . Few people in the Zenit Empire, let alone in Chambord, dared to offend this handsome and gentle old noble .
“His Majesty is intelligent and has planned for all scenarios . Now, we just have to execute the plan . However, while it will be easy to clean up these bugs, we must focus on the migration to [Sky Castle] . That can’t be done that easily . ” Brook caressed the cold battlement on the defense wall before rubbing his temples .
The fast growth of Chambord pleasantly surprised these loyal and experienced officials, but the issues and duties that they had to handle also increased a lot in number and complexity . Therefore, they had to run around endlessly and with no breaks like a perfect spinning top . Fortunately, the king cared a lot about these old officials, and he gifted them many mystic potions . On top of eliminating fatigue, these potions improved their body compositions and extended their lifespan . Therefore, even though these officials were all busy, they didn’t regret anything and had a great deal of gratitude towards the king .
“Hahaha! What kind of honor will His Majesty bring back this time?” Brook thought to himself and was motivated .
He was a member of the military . Deep down in his heart, he wanted to expand the territory of Chambord and increase the kingdom’s influence . If he didn’t have to stay back and stabilize the kingdom, he would have gone with the king and battled with the enemies .
“Ah, we don’t need more honor and credit . I just hope that they can all come back safe and sound . ” After all, Bast was a noble who liked literature, and he was more humanitarian and disliked war . To him, the current situation that Chambord was in was already good enough .
Despite the differences in their hopes for and vision of the kingdom, their friendship was solid .
This wasn’t the first time that they stood in front of the watchtower on the defense wall to see the king off . Every time they stood in this position, they had different emotions . The one that left the most profound mark in their minds was their first-time seeing Fei off when the latter led the troop to participate in the competition at St . Petersburg .
The expeditionary troop of Chambord traveled 500 kilometers a day on average . On the fifth day, they finally arrived at the southwest border of Zenit .
That night, the expeditionary troop camped in a valley that wasn’t far from the border .
As the sky got darker, more than a dozen phantom-like figures appeared on both sides of the valley, and they stared down at the campsite of Chambord that was well-lit with their black eyes .
The burly figure in the lead sneered .
“Humph! Do they want to conquer our Anji Empire with so few soldiers? The King of Chambord is a moron, right?” someone sneered and mocked .
