119 – Capturing the City of Steel

An officer wearing a gray badge armor burst into the shrine and shouted, “Deputy general, this is bad! Tamaris stormed the city with some people! He suddenly attacked and broke the gate!”

“That stray Tamaris dares to attack the City of Steel! It seems that he’s looking down me.
Does he think that with the general gone no one in the City of Steel can restrain him?”

With a cold flash in his eyes, Akulev pressed the badge on his chest, and a black badge armor covered his body.
In the center of his black armor, there is a fearsome python inscribed.

“Take her back!”

With that, Akulev’s figure fluttered, and he shot towards the outside of the shrine.

20 personal guards of Akulev followed him and shot towards the outside.

Akulev quickly arrived at the battlefield and saw that Tamaris together with 20 plus giant polluted, 20 plus Souleaters, 300 Black Dog Hollows, Yanice, and elites of the Reichmann Empire is fighting the soldiers of the City of Steel.

Tamaris and Yanice killed the badge user soldiers of the City of Steel in their way.

The most elite 1,000-strong squad of the City of Steel has been taken away by Yinix.
The remaining soldiers are not a match for the mixed army.

“Tamaris, you dare attack the City of Steel! This shall be your burial place!”

Akulev’s eyes flashed coldly, and he barked, charged into the battlefield, and swung his sword, and his sword stabbed towards Tamaris like a cruel and cunning python.

As Yinix’s assistant, Akulev possesses fearsome combat power.
In fact he’s even slightly stronger than Tamaris prior to his evolution.

“Akulev! You are the one who is going to die! Fool!”

Tamaris smiled viciously and stopped hiding his strength.
As if a ferocious bear, he brandished his sword and clashed with Akulev’s sword.

A terrible force broke out and deflected Akulev’s sword, and he felt his right hand go numb.

“Tamaris, how did he suddenly become so strong? Did he break through the limit and become a Grandmaster?”

Akulev’s eyes flickered with disbelief, and he retreated briskly.

“Ha-ha! Die!”

Tamaris laughed ferociously and took a step forward, and his sword ripped through the air and streaked across Akulev.

Akulev trembled, his eyes flashed with disbelief, his body split into two, and a large amount of blood spattered out.
He died and fell on the ground.

“Akulev is dead! Yinix is dead! You still haven’t surrendered, do you want to be buried together with them? Those who surrender won’t be killed! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!”

With a ferocious smile on his face, Tamaris took out the severed head of Yinix from a cloth bag hanging around his waist, held it high, and roared loudly.

“Sir Akulev is dead!”

“The general, that’s the head of the general! The general is also dead!”

“Escape! Hurry up and escape!”

“…”

When the soldiers of the City of Steel saw the head of Yinix, their morale collapsed.
Except for a few obstinate individuals who continued to resist, most of the people fled in different directions.

The City of Steel was originally a city of the Koen Empire.
When Yinix occupied the city, about 30,000 people of the Tamdhu Empire migrated here and took control of the city.

After Shu Feng captured the City of Steel, thousands of people of the Tamdhu Empire fled, but even more people stayed and trembled, waiting for the rule of the new ruler.

Outside the city, there are polluted and mutant beasts polluted by hollow demon force everywhere.
While badge users can contend against those polluted and mutant beasts, ordinary people don’t have the ability to survive outside the city.

There were 20,000 slaves of the Reichmann Empire in the City of Steel.
Tamaris rescued the slaves of the Reichmann Empire and selected some strong and capable individuals to join Shu Feng’s command.

Unwilling to be outdone, Yanice began to recruit people of the Koen Empire in the City of Steel, preparing to fill positions of power of the City of Steel.

Li Xuanyi actively joined in the fray, recruited subordinates, and, as Shu Feng’s assistant, formulated various policies for the governance of the City of Steel.

Zhao Zixin also joined in and put forward opinions on various policies for the governance of the City of Steel.

When Li Xuanyi and Zhao Zixin joined the fray, Shu Feng realized what prodigies are.
The two are true prodigies and have received strict aristocratic education.
Although they have no experience, but they learned how to govern a city from books and seniors.

After all, every aristocratic family has its own territory in the Realm of Erosion.
As such, territorial governance is part of the aristocratic education.

Luo Feng, Ma Jue, and Yue Hai also joined in, became officials of the City of Steel, and helped Shu Feng rule the city.
They are well aware that only by making good use of the power of the City of Steel and finding ways to control this world, only then can they take control of their destiny.

The city lord’s manor, in the center of the deepest courtyard house, there is a square white jade box engraved with countless abstruse runes.

A ray of sunlight fell from the sky and entered the white jade box.
In the white jade box, there is a badge engraved with countless mysterious runes immersed in golden liquid.

“My Lord, this is a Sacred Badge Box, a treasure of our world that nurtures badges! It is a treasure refined from precious Ahare Mother Stone.”

“In our world, master artificers generally make basic badges, and then put the basic badges into Sacred badge Boxes to be dipped in for a month.
Such badges will become extraordinary badges with extraordinary power.”

“After obtaining an extraordinary badge, we can cultivate meditation methods, resonate with the badge, and integrate the materials into the badge.”

“Every time the badge is on the verge of reaching its limit, it needs to be placed into a Sacred Badge Box to be dipped in.
Only then can the badge break through and evolve into a higher-level badge.”

“With this Sacred Badge Box, we can continuously produce badge users! This is the foundation of a force’s prosperity!”

Tamaris stood in front of the Sacred Badge Box and spoke solemnly, a burning flash in his eyes.

Before this, due to the loss of the Sacred Badge Boxes, Tamaris and the remnants of the Reichmann Empire could not produce new badge users and it became impossible for badge users to evolve.
With this Sacred Badge Box, it is equivalent to having a steady stream of badge users, to having the foundation to fight with the other four generals.
