Chapter 344: Elder’s Gamble

However, what Dominguez announced next made everything feel more real.

“Right after the war is over, [Wolf Teeth Legion] would be dismissed. All of the elite forces would return to their home kingdom and don’t need to maintain the subordinate relationship with the king of Chambord. Also, the king of Chambord would only take on the position as the Legion Commander and can’t gain real military power.”

“In 15 days, [Wolf Teeth Legion] would move towards the southern battlefront.” Dominguez stood on the stage and finished announcing the order from Emperor Yassin.

The next three to four hours were long and boring.

The rewarded masters and representatives of the rewarded kingdoms went up to receive the treasures, magic gems, weapons, etc. Of course, the losers also had to hand over some stuff.

Fei liked treasures, but he hated waiting in line to receive them; he felt like he was back in his previous life and was waiting for an ATM at a bank. However, he was the king, and there were people who would take care of that for him. After the ceremony was over, the king returned to the campsite of Chambord right away.

Fei was now the king of a level 1 affiliated kingdom, a level 2 noble of Zenit, and the Legion Commander of [Wolf Teeth Legion]. He was a really powerful and influential figure, and he was sought after by a lot of people.

When he arrived at the campsite, he was scared.

Chambord’s campsite was surrounded by people, and it was hard for people to pass through. If these people weren’t wearing nice clothes and didn’t have presents in their hands, Fei would have thought that these people were here to cause trouble.

These people were all here for Fei.

Fei knew stuff was about to go down, and he quickly switched to Assassin Mode and disappeared from the magic carriage.

Just as he predicted, right after he disappeared from the magic carriage, the “visitors” saw the king’s carriage and quickly rushed over. With flattering smiles on their faces, they reported their masters’ names and the presents they had. From the look of it, it seemed like they even wanted to stuff the gifts through the window on the carriage.

After hearing the noise outside, Fei who was already back in his tent was a little excited.

He called over a Saint Seiya named Ivanovic. After taking the order, this man bowed and left.

What happened next made all the Chambordians laugh.

There were a few tables set up in the campsite, and the empty field where the soldiers practiced was fenced off as well. Everyone who was here to give presents to Fei was let in one by one. After they handed the gift and got their information registered, they were asked to leave politely.

No one was kicked out for giving a present, but they couldn’t see the king of Chambord.

The two tough-looking warriors of Chambord who made into the top-13 list explained with smiles on their faces. They said that the king was tired after the competition and needed to rest; if he was awakened at this time, he would definitely be enraged and would kill some people.

Even the most powerful and noble “visitors” had to leave docilely.

They can’t do anything against true power.

In the entire afternoon, the person who was in charge of doing the recording got sore hands and got changed out more than a dozen times. All the Bylaw Enforcement Officers and Saint Seiyas who were in charge of moving the presents felt numbness and soreness in their shoulders; they were more tired now than when they were in the competition.

The campsite was finally less crowded when the night arrived.

Smiles never disappeared from the Chambordians’ faces; their faces almost couldn’t handle it. Even [Fallen Princess] Victoria who was usually lazy even ran out to help. Golden stars circled in her beautiful eyes as she looked at the mountains of presents, and she wanted to take her shoes off and roll around in these presents while shouting, “These are all mine…… all mine……” If she wasn’t scared of Fei’s scolding, she would have done it right there.

In the afternoon, Angela had already arranged fast horses and messengers to pass the news to Chambord City.

If everything was smooth, the kingdom that was small and remote in the north would get the news by tomorrow evening. A huge celebration would take place there as well.

Now, no affiliated kingdoms dared to challenge the king of Chambord, and all the affiliated kingdoms who had conflicts with Chambord would probably come to Chambord and beg for forgiveness.

“Chambordians are too sly!”

The last person who handed over the present was a mid-aged nobleman. When he walked out of the campsite and saw the celebration happening inside the enclosed zone, he had to sigh and comment.

He never needed to go to a kingdom of bumpkins and try to establish a friendship, and it seemed like these barbaric and greedy people didn’t understand the principle of taking and giving! For the entire afternoon, these people only did two things; received gifts, and receive more gifts!

They completely forgot about giving back in return.

In fact, they didn’t even give a verbal promise back, let alone actually gifts in return. Everyone was here to see the king of Chambord, but none of them saw that greedy bastard.

……

“Hahaha! Is this what it means to have a cramp in the hands while counting money?”

Fei laughed proudly as he looked at the report that [Fallen Princess] Victoria handed to him. Although he had the magical item [Horadric Cube] and could make money in many ways, it was still thrilling to see this much treasures.

What he received in the afternoon was more than the taxes and other revenues the royal family of Chambord got in the last 10 years!

Everyone was happy in the central tent, including Lampard who usually had a straight face.

Although Fei was the key in turning Chambord’s situation around, every member of Chambord contributed to the success of Chambord by sweating and bleeding for the kingdom. They all watched and participated in the rising of Chambord, and they all felt a sense of pride and accomplishment.

Even if Chambord grew into a huge empire and the king of Chambord had numerous warriors under his command, no one could take this sense of pride and accomplishment away from them.

Drogba who had a tough guy appearance was so excited that he started crying.

At other times, Pierce would grasp this opportunity and laugh at him. But now, this white-haired tough man was also sobbing. Half a year ago when he used suicidal methods against the black armored enemies, Pierce thought he was dead for sure. At the time, he didn’t know that a miracle took place, and he didn’t know that the miracles didn’t stop reoccurring……

Only the people who experienced the hard, tough, and dangerous times at Chambord could understand why these tough men were crying.

Robbin and his father, old Aryang, were sitting in the central tent quietly. Although they never experienced what Chambord went through, their emotions were all pulled by what was happening around them.

“Victoria, separate the gifts into two piles. Divide one pile so everyone in the camp gets a share, and put the other pile onto carriages….. they would be useful later……” Fei gave the report back to the [Fallen Princess] and gave her, who was an yet unidentified person, an important role.

However, Victoria didn’t realize that her value was confirmed by the king; her attention was completely focused on something else. With excitement in her eyes, she asked: “Everyone in the camp? So I get a share too?”

“Are you really a princess? You are so greedy.” Fei frowned; he had nothing else to say to this girl.

“Ah?”

Victoria lowered her head in disappointment as tears appeared in her eyes.

But in the next moment, she realized that her share of the treasures wasn’t taken away despite the fact that she was scolded by the king. The smile instantly came back to her face, and she rushed out of the tent to get everything organized. Her tight red dress drew out her sexy figure, and her exposed and slender lower legs were very seductive; she was a very attractive girl.

Everyone else in the tent laughed as they saw the exchange between the king and the [Fallen Princess].

This girl who said she was a princess was very special; she was the only person who could get scolded by the king with a straight face.

Fei shook his head again.

Although the background of Victoria wasn’t confirmed, she was good at managing money and had her own theories; perhaps that was her talent or she learned these things through her own experiences. Since she was a detail-oriented female, Fei was comfortable letting her handle this task. She wasn’t a powerful warrior after all; even if she wanted to play tricks, she couldn’t escape from Fei’s hands.
