Chapter 916 – New Emperor of Alania
The thing that the Alanian resistance force was glad about was that they didn’t need to battle zombies and mutated demon beasts; even the warriors of Chambord rarely moved. King of Chambord took care of it himself most of the time.
Since titles such as ‘Savior’, ‘Human Emperor of the North’, and ‘Bishop of the Holy Shrine’ were already placed on him, Fei didn’t need to stay low-key anymore. Therefore, he used Paladin Skill – [Cleansing] openly.
Wherever the golden flames went through, the evil energy was completely wiped out, and light returned to the land. Like a sun that was moving extremely close to the surface of the ground, Fei emitted light and heat, easily shattering evil and turning it into nothing.
In ordinary people’s eyes, this was no different from a miracle, so Fei’s fame spread around the region at an incredible speed.
Later on, many survivors rushed through many blockages and obstacles daily, going through all kinds of hardships and trying their best to be protected by the Human Emperor of the North.
As a result, like sunlight, Fei’s name and his title as Human Emperor of the North were passed around the ancient land that used to belong to the Alania Empire.
In the following month, the expeditionary troop of Chambord moved south smoothly like pressing a hot knife through butter. With Fei and Chambord’s help, the six critical military cities that used to belong to the Alania Empire were liberated, and the zombies and mutated demon beasts in the region were also wiped out. It seemed like everything was returning to normal.
In terms of the military, the four main battle legions that Anji stationed inside the former Alania Empire were obliterated, losing more than 60,000 elite soldiers and a lot of resources. Also, the Alanian resistance force that was a joke in the eyes of Anji quickly transformed, becoming the official Alanian army that could battle with Anji head-on. With all Alanians rallied up, the Alanian army had almost 200,000 soldiers, not counting all the militias and other small forces. In a short time, Alania’s strength skyrocketed.
This process was like rolling a snowball. Almost every single Alanian had deep hatred toward Anjians. As soon as they could pick up a weapon, their first choice was to join the army and get their revenge on Anjians.
Time slowly passed by.
In less than two months, more than 70 percent of the land that used to belong to the Alania Empire was recovered, and the re-establishment of the Alania Empire was within Alania’s sight.
This series of rapid-lightning-like movements and achievements shocked the entire Northern Region.
Human Emperor Alexander of the North; this name soon rose in prestige and power. Now, Fei was viewed on the same level as Emperor Juninho of Leon and Emperor Yassin of Zenit.
Gradually, people no longer looked at Fei simply as the king of an affiliated kingdom. With Fei getting more attention, the Chambord Kingdom that was remote and had a low-profile also attracted the attention of the forces in the Northern Region as well as other regions.
Of course, Fei’s title as ‘Human Emperor of the North’ which was renowned to Alanians also caused him a lot of trouble back in the Zenit Empire. However, those things happened later, so we won’t go into details now.
After taking control of the six crucial cities, Fei’s invincible and rapid progression finally slowed down. The expeditionary troop of Chambord temporarily stationed at the sixth city, which was the former Capital City of Alania, Dixie City.
The land that Alanians took back had to be digested for a while. Also, even though the [Black-Cloth Shrine] grew a lot recently, it was one of the fallen shrines of the Holy Church, and it couldn’t swallow this giant piece of cake so quickly. The good thing was that the churches in these giant cities were still usable, so Fei didn’t have to use a lot of resources to build churches in these cities.
Warrior Anna and Mercenary Edward who had been following Fei successfully became Two-Star Warriors, getting more powerful by the day. On the other hand, Leo was meticulously looked after by Fei. With a bottle of [Hulk Potion] and a godly herb, Fei elevated Leo’s strength to Three-Star. Also, half a month ago, Fei took this young man in as an in-name disciple, bring the latter ultimate glory and pride.
Due to the Human Emperor of the North’s favor and Leo’s outstanding performance in the recent months, this young man who was going to be 15 years old in half a year also got famous among Alanians.
Since Alanians now took back a lot of the land and re-established the empire physically, they started to try to re-establish the empire according to tradition. People from nobles to ordinary civilians all showed great passion for re-establishing the empire in the right way.
Now, they only had to find the people with the royal bloodline and re-establish the Royal Family of Alania first. However, this task that seemed a lot easier compared to war troubled all Alanians.

It turned out that all the members of the Royal Family of Alania were killed by the cruel Anjians after the Capital City of Alania was conquered; not a single trace of the royal bloodline was left. The other nobles who had the privilege to inherit the throne were either killed by Anjians or got turned into zombies by the evil power. Within the area of close to 500,000 square kilometers, no one could really inherit the throne according to tradition.
If Alanians couldn’t find a proper person to become the new emperor and rebuild the empire, re-establishing Alania could only be a beautiful joke.
At this moment, a message suddenly appeared. Someone jumped out and claimed that he was sure of one thing – Human Emperor Alexander of the North’s in-name disciple, Leo, was actually a distant member of the Royal Family of Alania, and he had a little bit of the royal bloodline in him.
Soon, more and more evidence popped up.
Some people ‘coincidentally’ saw Leo having an accessory of the Royal Family of Alania that was lost. A few experienced and wise seniors looked at this accessory, and they confirmed that it was the gift that one of the former emperors of Alania gave to one of his sons whose mom wasn’t of high status, but this prince later disappeared. To some degree, this accessory proved that Leo might be a descendant of this missing prince.
Therefore, Leo seemed to be the only person who was qualified to inherit the throne of Alania.
Although there were many undercurrents which were forces that wanted to get in power, and they presented all kinds of doubts, the huge influence that Human Emperor Alexander of the North and the expeditionary troop of Chambord accumulated over the last few months had a dominating effect.
Also, the [Black-Cloth Shrine] which was the new religion in the area had been promoting the idea and swaying the public.
As Fei’s in-name disciple, Leo was embraced by Fei’s power and had a competitive advantage. In the end, most of the Alanian civilians believed in the rumor, and Chambord helped out a lot. Leo became the new emperor of Alania who was going to lead the empire and bring it back from the dead; he was now Emperor Leo.
