Chapter 3241 - 3241 South Mountain Forbidden Zone
3241 South Mountain Forbidden Zone
Feng nodded. “We’re indeed short of inscription masters. We have them now, but they’re not capable enough. You can go to the Magical Equipment Division and see how they’re doing if you want.
“With the token His Majesty gave you, they won’t be able to stop you,” the steward said. “But it would be great if you had an excuse.”
Feng Wu asked, “An excuse?”
Feng nodded. “Isn’t your godfather the general? He can write you a note.”
Feng Wu smiled wryly. “He went to fight Xue Zhibei.”
Feng nodded. “That’s true. They do that every three days, and the battles go on and on.”
Feng Wu asked curiously, “Why do they have to fight every three days?”
The steward smiled bitterly. “That’s Xue Zhibei’s request.”
After some thought, the steward said to Feng Wu in all seriousness, “Your father is an amazing man. He’s incredible.”
Feng Wu asked, “Really?”
She had met the general. He was indeed a beautiful middle-aged man. He was arrogant to others, but he was very gentle to her, the little daughter he had just met. Other than that, she had never heard of anything incredible about the general.
Feng looked into the distance with admiration in his eyes. “You know the Dongsang Kingdom has always been more powerful than the Junwu Empire.”
Feng Wu nodded.
Feng said, “They have fighter jets and inscription bombs, but have you seen them use those things?”
Feng Wu shook her head.
The steward gave Feng Wu a serious look. “That’s why your father agreed to Xue Zhibei’s request. They’ll fight every three days until one side falls. If the general loses, Xue Zhibei will lead an army equipped with inscription weapons to crush the Junwu Empire.”
Feng Wu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Feng’s straightforward description.
That was crazy!
It felt like a sword hanging above their heads, ready to chop off their heads at any moment.
Feng Wu asked, “Is the Dongsang Kingdom that powerful?”
Feng said, “That’s right.”
Feng Wu didn’t understand. “Then why did Xue Zhibei make this deal with the general? Wouldn’t it be easier if he invaded the Junwu Empire and slaughtered all our people like 14 years ago?”
“Because it’s a political requirement,” the steward said concisely.
“What political requirement?” Feng Wu pressed.
But at that point, the steward stopped explaining.
Feng Wu said, “Are we always going to live under the threat of the Dongsang Kingdom’s powerful military equipment?”
Feng only told Feng Wu, “We’re not completely hopeless. The crown prince is our only hope.”
Feng Wu asked, “Why?”
Feng said, “If he becomes the most powerful man in the world, everything will change. And you —”
The steward looked at Feng Wu. “You’re the hope of our empire, too.”
Feng wouldn’t say anything else.
Feng Wu said goodbye to the steward and went back to the colonels’ quarters.
Yang Zhihu had already returned by then.
Yang Zhihu was injured, and Xuan Yi had already given him the Semi-Divine Golden Crow ointment.
Therefore, Yang Zhihu looked fine except for his pale lips.
Yang Zhihu said, “I fought with that person. They’re from the Dongsang Kingdom, and…”
Feng Wu said, “Go on.”
Yang Zhihu said, “That person fled into South Mountain and disappeared. I can’t enter the South Mountain forbidden zone.”
Feng Wu frowned. “The South Mountain forbidden zone is…”
