Chapter 386: The Formidable Enemy from the North

Chapter 386: Chapter 386: The Formidable Enemy from the North

The old nobles of the New Moon Kingdom all had their own ideas, stealthily carrying out their actions. Or they would take a stance openly; in any case, there were all kinds of maneuvers.

But as for their actions, Fang Jie completely disregarded them, not taking them to heart at all.

Not to mention Fang Jie, even Qin Lan only paid attention in her spare time, without investing too much energy there.

In the face of absolute strength, any minor action from an enemy was nothing but a joke. The most important thing now was the planning from the Sea Alliance.

However, due to the limited time, the strength amassed by the Dark Night Elves was still insufficient, so they could only wait for now. No matter what the matter was, it now required some time to complete.

Just as things were developing, a sudden communication from Kerla came through.

"What’s happened, there doesn’t seem to be any strong presence in the North, does there?"

Fang Jie was quite familiar with the North. Originally, the Blue Sand Kingdom bordered the North, and there was nothing but the Black Feather Kingdom, whose strength was even weaker than that of the Blue Sand Kingdom.

It was said that within the Kingdom, there seemed to be only one, or possibly two, individuals at the Legendary Level.

Regardless of the number, their strength wasn’t impressive.

Another point was that although the strength below the Legendary Level in the Black Feather Kingdom was unclear, the Blue Sand Kingdom, which had been at war with them for many years, still had some understanding of it.

According to the data compiled by the Blue Sand Kingdom, even the Golden Strong People of the Black Feather Kingdom numbered less than five thousand.

This was why the main enemy of the Blue Sand Kingdom had always been the New Moon Kingdom over the years. It really seemed that the Black Feather Kingdom was too weak in the North, almost like they were just making up the numbers.

If it weren’t for the Legendary Expert within their kingdom, they wouldn’t even qualify as a kingdom.

"Great Lord, this isn’t about the Black Feather Kingdom; it’s about the situation behind them."

"According to our investigation, we’ve discovered that the Blue Sand Kingdom has always been very wary of the Black Feather Kingdom. The Royal Family never shared detailed intelligence with us before, and it was only because I felt something was amiss that I sent people to probe further."

"Heh, it’s normal for them to conceal some things, they’d certainly be pleased if they could make us careless. Tell me, what have you found out?" Fang Jie was also somewhat interested.

If it weren’t for something important, he believed that Kerla would not have taken the initiative to contact him.

Although Kerla could be considered someone he had promoted, they were not that close.

In the past, out of consideration for Jia Siwei’s feelings, there was less communication between Kerla and Fang Jie. So, Fang Jie didn’t think this contact was about touching base on their relationship.

Sure enough, Kerla spoke with a grave tone, "According to our investigation, although the Black Feather Kingdom is a kingdom, it does not exist independently, but as an entity that depends on the support of the Black Flame Empire behind it."

"The Black Flame Empire, eh? I didn’t expect they would have something like an empire backing them."

Fang Jie’s expression became solemn; he had only heard about the existence of empires from the Sea Alliance.

The titles of nations in this world were strictly defined. For example, a kingdom had to be supported by a Legendary Expert in order to be established and exist.

If a nation lacked a Legendary Expert, then it would have to depend on another powerful nation for its existence. Otherwise, it would easily become the target of others’ covetous glances.

Such states could at most be called a duchy, and her sovereign could only be referred to as a Grand Duke.

This was considered a sign of weakness; no matter how many Golden Strong People there were, this would still be the case.

Back when Fang Jie lacked Legendary subordinates, even though he had many Golden Strong People who could besiege a Legendary Expert, he still wasn’t qualified to establish a kingdom. To the eyes of other kingdoms, they looked down on him; that was the situation.

An empire, however, was an even more unique case because to establish an empire, it was necessary to have the support of a demigod.

Fang Jie didn’t know what level a demigod was; he had never received any specific information about it.

However, Fang Jie knew that there were gods in this world; for example, the Cloud God he worshipped was one.

So, since demigods dared to use the title of "god", that indicated they must possess some unique qualities. Such a formidable existence might have been many times more fearsome than a Legendary Expert.

The difference between each level would become increasingly greater as one progressed.

A Legendary could perhaps be besieged by thousands or even tens of thousands of Golden Strong People, but what about an expert at the Demigod Level? Could thousands of Legends besiege one? Fang Jie felt it was somewhat unreliable, perhaps it simply wasn’t possible.

Moreover, he didn’t have that many Legendary subordinates, even with the cultivation methods provided by the system.

Fang Jie shook his head, then continued to ask, "What exactly are the specifics? How strong are the forces of the Black Flame Empire, and what are the strengths of their enemies?"

Kerla shook his head, "We don’t know if it’s a secret or some other reason, but we couldn’t find out through our investigations in the Black Feather Kingdom. I’ve already secretly sent people to the Black Flame Empire; there should be news soon."

Fang Jie fell silent; this was normal after all, being just confidential matters.

Merely a kingdom attached to his own had no right to know so much.

"By the way, it’s said that the Royal Family of the Black Feather Kingdom was originally a branch of the Black Flame Kingdom’s Royal Family, though a distant one. That’s why the Blue Sand Kingdom had been wary of them and dared not easily annihilate them."

Fang Jie thought for a moment and then said, "When investigating the empire, clarify their situation. See if it’s possible to replace the Black Feather Kingdom, though this isn’t a necessity. Also, thoroughly investigate the surrounding circumstances."

Fang Jie planned to test the attitude of the empire to proceed with the next part of his plan.

In any case, since there was such a thing as the Demigod Level, one had to find a way to clearly understand it. Only by doing so, would he be able to cultivate subordinates at the Demigod Level to withstand the threats from the empire.

With such powerful enemies, Fang Jie always felt unsettled.

Furthermore, Fang Jie believed that only by doing so could he find a way to break through to the Demigod Level himself.

He might have been ignorant before, but now that he knew about the existence of gods, ambition slowly grew within Fang Jie. If he couldn’t become a god in this life, it would be as if he had lived this life in vain.

"I understand, I will investigate carefully," said Kerla respectfully.

After ending the communication, Fang Jie closed his eyes and began to ponder. It was only when Anfei ran up to remind him that he realized it was already time for dinner.
