Therefore, D’Alessandro told everyone that Kluivert was going to appear any day now when he was telling a lie.

  This was the weakness.

  Although it wasn’t enough to throw everyone off his story, it would make people cast doubts around his story.

  Even a giant dam would collapse at the existence of a small ant hole. Therefore, even the most perfect lie would be soon revealed after a person stood up and cast doubt. By then, the truth would reappear before everyone’s eyes.

  After thinking everything through, Fei calmed down a lot.

  Even though this incident caused a lot of issues, it wasn’t without benefits. By using this incident to his advantage, Fei would be able to see how all the surrounding forces would react.

  Since there was already a small circle forming around Fei and the Chambord Kingdom, and many people wanted to jump on the ship, Fei could use this opportunity to see how trustworthy people were and who were the ones that would jump ship at the first sight of trouble.

  After stretching, Fei heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his seat, signaling Kane to continue with his reporting.

  In the last ten days or so, a lot of things had happened.

  Except for the two events that Kane mentioned, the war in the southern region of the Zenit Empire also caught a lot of attention.

  After the initial wins, it went into another stalemate. In the beginning, Second Prince Dominguez obtained a series of victories over the Leon Empire, recovering a lot of territory of the Red Leaf Province. However, Fourth Prince Chrystal became irrational after the initial wins, and his commands were terrible. Soon, the troops that he was leading got surrounded by the enemies, and almost all the soldiers were killed. If the masters and the death squad of the Beag Family didn’t try their best to save him, this arrogant yet useless prince would have become a captive himself.

  The failure of the Fourth Prince made the Second Prince the only force of Zenit in the southern region. To avoid the situation of being surrounded by enemies, he had to slow down and defend the territories that he had recaptured. Therefore, the excellent situation for Zenit got ruined by the Four Prince singlehandedly.

  However, the local force in the southern region of Zenit was doing well. The resistance force led by the Byzantine Empire used the guerrilla warfare and caused a lot of headaches for the Leon Empire and other empires in the alliance.

  Overall, Zenit’s first attempt at taking back its lost territories by using military force failed regretfully.

  This failure caused a big shuffle of power inside the Zenit Empire.

  Fourth Prince Chrystal who was arrogant yet untalented had to say goodbye to the political arena, losing the ability to fight for the throne. Also, the Beag Family who supported Fourth Prince Chrystal was greatly weakened since the [Gigantic Force Legion] which was once under its control was destroyed. Now, it was a second-tier noble family in Zenit.

  The strangest thing was that even though the Zenit Empire had expanded the military through the conscription order, and it had the power to take back the southern region which belonged to it, the Royal Family and the Military Headquarters were not giving the order. It seemed like they were waiting for something.

  Even after D’Alessandro, the No.2 Disciple of Continental Martial Saint Maradona, asked Zenit to hand over Imperial Martial Saint Alexander, the Royal Family and the Military Headquarters were keeping quiet; it was really strange.

  “That is all the information that we have on the Zenit Empire.” Kane finished telling Fei the information in one breath. Then, he started to breathe heavily to replenish his oxygen. Since Fei paid a lot of attention to Zenit and the King of Chambord, Kane already guessed something but didn’t dare to ask.

  Fei nodded after hearing all the news. Some of it was good, and some of it was bad. However, nothing was out of his expectations.

  “Ah, right. That girl named Ellen Grace who led me here is not bad. Don’t you blame her for bringing me here, alright?”
