Chapter 860: False Starry Sky

After learning of Avis's existence, [Lord of Pale Frost] Itafos tried to seek cooperation with Avis, but the latter rejected his proposal.

Prophet never stepped into the stage of fate easily, because that would turn him from an "audience" in the dark to an "actor" under the spotlight, and he often played the kind of role whose ending was unclear.

In this regard, Itafos had no choice but to continue to cooperate with Phoenix. Fortunately, the latter was also quite powerful. While expanding rapidly, he brought back a large number of sacrifices captured in the war for Itafos.

At the same time, with the continuous victories, the reputation of Phoenix's legion gradually began to spread.

In the legend, they came on endless frost and snow, bringing the cold winter to the whole world. Wherever they passed, everything in the world would be covered with flawless pale frost.

This is Phoenix's Winter Legion, which was quickly catalyzed by the power seeds provided by Itafos, and it was a powerful professional legion that completely obeyed his orders.

Phoenix himself was nicknamed the Pale Lord, a name that sounded more like a member of the Olivendi family than the Enoch family.

However, as his territory expanded, Phoenix's situation gradually became difficult.

The major forces really began to pay attention to this small shrimp and began to mobilize their elite troops to encircle and suppress it.

Indeed, there was the shadow of Avis behind the four major family alliances where Phoenix was, but when the scale of the territory he occupied exceeded a certain degree, this deterrent power began to decrease infinitely.

Behind everyone stood the ninth level. Even if [Mirror Man] was the only second ninth-level prophet on the continent, it was impossible for him to personally go down because of a small matter, otherwise it would only turn into a war between the ninth levels.

And in the absence of the ninth level, Phoenix had a limit no matter how strong he was. Under the intentional or unintentional targeting of several marquises and the resistance forces, he had to turn to shrink his defense, and many of the territories that had been captured changed hands again.

However, due to the existence of Anvis, the other parties did not go too far. Phoenix still retained several main cities in Magna Province, such as Lausanne City and Youlan City, but the area of ​​the territory shrunk by one third compared to the original expansion of power.

More importantly, with the continuous failure of the front-line war, Phoenix lost the most critical source of sacrifices, which made him unbearable after tasting the sweetness.

You know, this feeling of rapid increase in power is addictive. After experiencing the speed of upgrading through the power of Itafus, he could no longer bear to rely on himself to practice slowly again.

For this reason, he began to take risky measures.

If the territory of Magna Province cannot be obtained for the time being, then turn to attack other provinces, even if it is the territory of the original "friendly forces".

Without the slaves captured in the war, then hunt down civilian professionals to make up the numbers, as long as they are given the identity of a rebel.

This may be against the rules and will conflict with his own side, but Phoenix has been mentally prepared for this.

As his strength gradually recovers, the existence of Itafos will become his strongest backing.

And the key to everything lies in his own strength.

As long as he can successfully break through the ninth level before everyone reacts, all problems and responsibilities will not extend to him. This is the tacit privilege among ninth-level professionals.

After all, what he did, in the final analysis, only sacrificed some middle and low-level professionals, and did not really touch the core interests of ninth-level beings.

And with his reckless actions, the alliance of the four major families began to split substantially.

….….

Moonlight City is located on the southeast border of the Karlas Province, adjacent to the Marquis of Cuijing. Its history can be traced back to the end of the ancient magic empire. It is one of the oldest ancient cities in the entire province and a famous poet capital in the entire empire.

The city is built on hills. The higher the terrain, the more magnificent the buildings appear, and the higher the status of the residents. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the city's buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, layer by layer, forming a magnificent three-dimensional picture.

The name of Moonlight City comes from its unique magic circulation phenomenon. Whenever night falls, the sky above the city is always cloudless, and the bright double moonlight bathes the city all year round.

Especially the magnificent castle in the center that towers into the clouds. Whenever it is mid-month, the huge silver moon will rise from behind the castle, reflecting the entire castle like a fairyland, so it was named "Silver Palace" by Emperor Fidius.

Recently, with the original city lord's active surrender, the Silver Palace also ushered in its new owner.

On the top floor of the Silver Palace, on the vast open-air round platform, Anvis sat on the lord's throne inlaid with mithril and precious gems, quietly gazing at the night sky, letting the silver and purple moonlight cast a layer of gauze on him.

Very rarely, he took the initiative to close his own constant vision of destiny, just relying on the perspective of a mortal to gaze at this vast and boundless darkness.

The top floor of the Silver Palace seemed isolated from the world under the night sky, and only Avis was alone with the starry sky.

The stars in the sky seemed like countless eyes, blinking at him under the dark sky, but in Avis's eyes, they revealed an indescribable sense of illusion, like the curtains and lights on the stage.

After learning some information from Itafus, Avis began to doubt the truth of this world.

Is the starry sky seen through the ceiling wall really the real starry sky?

After an unknown amount of time, a soft warm yellow light lit up from behind him, slightly illuminating the dim environment.

"I have responded as you said. What Finnis did was entirely his personal behavior. We do not agree with it, and we will not support any of his subsequent actions."

Claire, holding a lantern, walked to his right, and her ethereal and pleasant voice echoed around, blending into the quiet night.

"Thank you."

Hearing the voice, Avis nodded.

Because Claire was idle around him before, he specially arranged some work for her, which was considered his current spokesperson, but without salary.

"In addition, Miss Fiona hopes to see you and is waiting downstairs."

"Fiona? Let her come up."

Raising his eyebrows, Avis's eyes showed some interest.

Fiona had actually left him for a while, and according to his previous observations of the Web of Destiny, the girl seemed to have received a powerful secret help recently.

With more confidence, and with the remaining members of the Alfred family who are still firmly supporting her, Fiona has actually established a firm foothold in the province of Carlas, and is considered semi-independent.

So, what does Fiona want to do by coming to him at this time? (End of this chapter)
