Chapter 2559


    The reports came in one after another.


    The Empress had a solemn expression as she was brief on how their troops were faring.


    Immediately, she issued an order, “Get the other three armies to gather in the Imperial Capital and tell


    them to defend it with their lives.”


    “Understood.” At that moment, the female general was on the way back to the country with her 100,000


    surviving soldiers.


    Half a monthter, the female general arrived at the Imperial Capital.

    She kneeled on the ground in the Sangria Pce.


    ‘Your Highness, please forgive me for failing to repel Korinth’s troops.


    Our army suffered heavy casualties during the battle that took ce in Yantargh Canyon.


    This man is the savior who prevented Korinth’s merciless army from wiping us out.


    Without his help, Korinth’s army might have already reached the Imperial Capital by now.” James stood


    in the pce hall, sweeping his gaze over the civil and military officials gathered.


    All of them were beautiful women.


    He felt entranced by the sight of so many gorgeous women gathered together.


    To him, it was like looking at a mesmerizingndscape.


    The Empress’ eyes were fixated on James.


    She frowned after sensing that his energy was rtively meager and seeing that he was only at the


    Mage Rank.


    She questioned,” General, did you say he was the one that stopped the Korinth army?” The female


    general replied respectfully, ‘That’s right, Your Majesty.” The Empress frowned and said, “He’s merely


    at the Mage Rank’s First Stage.


    As opposed to him, the Grand Marshal of Korinth has reached the Tribtion Rank’s Second Stage.


    You said he prevented their army from continuing the attack.


    I don’t see how could he have stopped them with his level of strength.” “What do you mean?” The


    female general considered the Empress’ statement.


    During the confrontation between James and the Grand Martial, she had been injured and


    unconscious.


    Thus, she was unsure of what actually happened when the two fought.


    At that moment, James stepped forward and replied, “Your Majesty, one’s cultivation rank doesn’t


    represent their true strength.” The Empress did not respond to his deration and turned to her


    servants, “Come and show our benefactor the ce where he may have sor.” Soon, several


    beautiful maids came and led James out of the pce hall.


    James also remained silent and turned around to follow them.


    After James left, the Empress began to interrogate the female general.


    The female general ryed everything she knew in great detail, including being saved by James.


    Then, the Empress called for some of the surviving soldiers.


    From the testimony of these soldiers, she learned that James was indeed the person that forced the


    Grand Marshal of Korinth to retreat.


    After learning of the truth, the Empress sighed in relief.


    “We’re safe, thanks to him.


    Otherwise, we would’ve been in dire straits by now.


    ‘You’re all dismissed.” The Empress stood up and left the pce hall.


    Meanwhile, James had been shown his amodation within the pce.


    He was given an independent courtyard which was surrounded by lush greenery.


    The birds sang beautiful melodies as they perched in the trees and the fragrance of flowers perfumed


    the air.


    James was sitting down to rest in the yard as he tried to get a sense of his surroundings.


    He muttered, “There’s nothing out of the ordinary here.


    Why did they say that men can’t survive in Sangria?” While he was deep in thought over the topic, a


    group of people approached him.


    The person in the lead was a woman wearing a golden dress with a crown atop her head.


    Many beautiful courtdies followed behind her.


    All of them had equally lovely and were on par with the Empress in terms of appearance.


    However, theycked the elegance and grace that she exuded.


    “Sir.” The Empress approached him with a charming smile.


    She looked at James and gave him a slight bow as she said, “I’m very grateful for your assistance.


    If it wasn’t for your intervention, my country would’ve been in ruins by now.


    You’re our country’s benefactor, so do tell us if there is anything you would like.


    After we have repaid your debt of kindness, we humbly request that you leave as soon as possible.


    Otherwise, a curse will befall you.”
