In the morning, at Sophia's mansion in the capital of Purple Moon King, a burst of light flashed, and the remaining five king-level powerhouses of Purple Moon Kingdom, including Gray, appeared on a purple rune array imprinted on the ground.
"Gray, big brother, Master Difenni..."
As soon as the five people appeared, someone shouted to them with a slightly excited voice. Sophia, Silya and King Ziyue were standing next to the purple rune array.
The eyes of the three of them were slightly sleepy, and their faces looked slightly tired. They had probably been up all night, waiting here.
The three of them soon discovered that there were only five people left in the seven-person team when they left. They couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts, vaguely guessing the ending of the two people they had never seen before.
"Lord Difenni, have the other two clan elders...?"
After a slight hesitation, King Ziyue asked.
"Um."
Difeni Violet nodded with a heavy voice, a slight sadness in her eyes, sighed, and spoke after a moment.
"The strength of the fifth force exceeded expectations. When we rushed there, we happened to meet another person who broke through and became the magic light."
"What, another person from the fifth force broke through the magic light, and there are two magic lights? Then you...?"
The faces of King Ziyue, Sophia, and Silya all changed drastically, with horror in their eyes.
According to estimates, when the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gem Kingdom join forces, they have a chance of winning against the fifth force with a magic light. After all, Gray and Difenni Violet can exert the magic light's combat power, and even more They have a record of joining forces to kill the demonic light.
However, facing two magic lights, there is absolutely no hope of winning, because neither Gray nor Difeni Violet is a real magic light, and they cannot compete with the real magic light.
"Thanks to Mr. Gray for defeating one of the magic lights, the fifth force was afraid to propose a truce. Otherwise, our entire army might have been annihilated."
Defoni Violet glanced at Gray with emotion in her eyes.
Originally, they had been surrounded by a demonic light and two triple-transformed kings from the fifth force, and it seemed that they could not escape. Fortunately, Gray defeated one of the magic lights and made the fifth force fearful, so there was a truce later.
"Your Excellency Gray actually defeated one of the magic lights, and forced the fifth force with two magic lights to take the initiative to propose a truce?"
King Ziyue looked at Gray with astonishment and shock. Sophia and Hilya also looked at Gray in surprise. Sophia had a hint of joy in her eyes, while Hilya had a deep sense of wonder in her eyes.
"It's not all my fault. I feel that the fifth force didn't want casualties, so it proposed a ceasefire."
Gray shook his head slightly and did not take credit. This was a fact. Although he suppressed one magic light, the fifth force with two magic lights still had an absolute advantage. It was not just because of him that he proposed a truce.
"Since it was the fifth force that initiated the truce, what about the security of the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gem Kingdom in the future?"
Sophia thought for a while and asked.
"The fifth force has made a guarantee that it will not take action against the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gem Kingdom."
Francis answered.
"Is it credible?"
Sophia frowned. The fifth force's guarantee was not as enforceable as the noble agreement. After all, no force could make the fifth force enforce it.
"It should be credible that the fifth force has the means to restore its strength by relying on ordinary property. The purpose of attacking the Crimson Kingdom royal family is to rob the Crimson Kingdom royal family's property."
Francis frowned slightly and then relaxed, and explained.
"Now that the Crimson Kingdom's royal family's property is enough for them to regain their strength, there is no need to take action against the Purple Moon Kingdom and Gem Kingdom."
After staying in the royal capital for three days and attending the funerals of the two deceased kings, Gray returned and took the Fergus family members who were hiding in a stronghold back to Fergus Castle.
He did not speak out about the concerns that the fifth force's retrieval of magic weapons might have a serious impact on the world, because speaking out would only cause trouble to others.
Facing the increasingly powerful fifth force, the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gem Kingdom no longer have the ability to compete. Even if they knew about it, it would only increase their worries and fear.
And he couldn't completely trust the fifth force. He had already sent two people who had been resurrected by his resurrection ability to the Purple Moon King's capital and the Gemstone King's capital respectively.
These two people usually hide in the capitals of the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gemstone Kingdom. He doesn't even plan to tell the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Gemstone Kingdom's royal family. Once they discover the invasion of the fifth force, the two will immediately send him a spiritual message. Contact, and he can also rush there in time through space teleportation.
Returning to the Fergus family, Gray returned to his unshakable daily practice. Now, if he wants to improve his strength, he needs to improve his realm. If he wants to improve his strength by swallowing the blood of blood beasts and transforming, he also needs to improve his realm.
Whether he wants to improve his strength through normal methods, or wants to improve his strength by swallowing the blood of blood beasts and transforming, he must improve his realm. Improving his realm has become his current top priority.
He vaguely felt that the fifth force's process of retrieving magic weapons was not just as simple as retrieval. In this process, it might have an extremely serious impact on the world.
This made him eager to have the strength to compete with or even kill four people before the fifth force retrieved the magic weapons on the plane source array.
But improving strength takes time, and what he lacks most now is time. He seems to be racing against time.
If it can have the strength to compete with or even kill four people before the fifth force retrieves the magic weapons on the plane source array, then the crisis should be resolved.
If they cannot have the strength to compete with the four of them before the fifth force retrieves the magic weapon on the plane source array, then extremely serious consequences may occur.
Because of this reason, the number of times he now practices the Blood Technique has changed from once in the morning and once in the afternoon to once in the morning, noon and evening, three times a day.
If possible, he would even want to practice four or five times a day, but practicing three times a day is already the limit. Excessive practice will only be counterproductive and damage the body, so he can only give up.
Unknowingly, three months passed. In the evening, the Fergus family gathered at the Fergus family restaurant for a dinner.
Today, the Fergus family, including Barbara, has reached eleven people. It can be said that it is already an extremely lively family. There is chatting and laughing at the dinner table, and the atmosphere is quite lively.
Eating the soft desolate-level blood beast stew, drinking the high-quality red wine produced in the winery presented by the noble family during their visit, and listening to everyone in the Fergus family talking to each other, Gray felt a warm atmosphere.
This is worth protecting, but I don't know how long this kind of warmth can last. The fifth force is a sword hanging above his head, making Gray afraid to relax.
After dinner, everyone in the Fergus family did not disperse. As usual, they would chat for a while. Earl Fergus took off his napkin, lay back on the armchair with a little disregard for appearance, and asked Bernal.
"What happened to the blood beast that appeared near Dirk Town?"
"I have asked Mr. Bart to find him and kill him."
Bernal wiped his lips with a napkin and replied.
Bart is a former member of the Flame Fang brought back by Gray from the Kingdom of Flame. He possesses wild-level strength. Now he has joined the Fergus Family Guards. While responsible for the safety of the Fergus Family, he also accepts the dispatch of the Fergus Family.
"Is the loss big this time?"
asked Lord Fergus.
"It's not too big. The blood beast was not angered. Only a few passers-by died under the attack of the blood beast."
Bernal shook his head.
After hearing the conversation between the two, Gray couldn't help but frown slightly and asked.
"Have blood beasts often left the forest and attacked villages and towns recently?"
Since the Fergus family's territory was expanded into the earldom, several blood beasts have attacked villages and towns every year. Just like humans invade the territory of blood beasts, blood beasts will also invade human territory. This has become a common practice. .
But the recent blood beast attacks seemed to be too frequent, because this was already the second time he had heard of blood beast attacks on villages and towns this month.
"Well, it has indeed become more frequent, but don't worry. With the men you brought back, all the blood beasts that attack villages and towns will be killed immediately before the damage spreads."
Bernal waved his hand and said.
"What's the situation like in other territories?"
Gray's eyebrows did not relax. From the blood beast's frequent attacks on villages and towns, he smelled something unusual.
"The situation is similar. Blood beasts also attack frequently. I heard that this is the case in the entire Ziyue Kingdom."
Lord Fergus answered.
"Is this true for the entire Ziyue Kingdom?"
Gray frowned even more. It was obvious that this was very abnormal. It was still summer and food should be abundant. Logically speaking, the blood beasts should not leave the forest so frequently to attack villages and towns.
He couldn't help but have a trace of worry in his heart. In his previous life, before an earthquake, birds and beasts would be restless and behave abnormally. Could the blood beasts that frequently attack villages and towns now be a sign of some kind of mutation
The next day, the two visitors arrived at Fergus Castle, and Gray received them personally, as both were acquaintances of Gray.
These are two young women who look quite similar. They both have conspicuous lavender eyes and long eyelashes. However, one looks mature and dignified in a purple skirt, while the other looks lively and playful in a green skirt.
These are a pair of sisters, sisters Jessea and Audrey who come from the Marquis of Cumberland family.
"If you have anything to say, I will never refuse as long as I can do it."
Seeing that the two of them were visiting for something, Gray said directly.
He doesn't know many friends, only a few. If a friend has something to do and he can do it, he will naturally not refuse.
"Well, I do need your help with something this time."
Seeing Gray's attitude, Jessea breathed a sigh of relief. Although Gray's strength had grown to the point where she could only look up to him, Gray was still the same Gray.
"I want to ask you to help kill a king-level blood beast!"
