After learning of Avis's existence, Itafoss, Lord of the Pale Frost, attempted to establish cooperation with Avis, but the latter rejected his proposal.

A prophet never steps onto the stage of fate easily, because that would transform him from a "spectator" in the darkness to an "actor" under the spotlight, and he would often play a role whose ending was unclear.

In this regard, Italphos had no choice but to continue cooperating with Phoenix. Fortunately, the latter was quite capable and, while expanding rapidly, brought back a large number of sacrifices captured in the war for Italphos.

At the same time, with successive victories, the reputation of Phoenix's legion gradually began to spread.

According to legend, they came on endless frost and snow, bringing the cold winter to the whole world. Wherever they passed, everything in the world would be covered with flawless pale frost.

This is Phoenix's Winter Legion, a legion of powerful professionals that was quickly catalyzed by the seeds of power provided by Itafus and completely obeyed his orders.

As for Phoenix himself, he was given the nickname 'Pale Lord', a name that sounded more like a member of the Olivendi family than the Enoch family.

However, as Phoenix's territory expanded, its situation became increasingly difficult.

All the major forces really began to pay attention to this small shrimp and began to mobilize their elite troops to encircle and suppress it.

Indeed, behind the alliance of the four major families where Phoenix was located was the shadow of Avis, but when the size of the territory he occupied exceeded a certain degree, this deterrent power began to become infinitely reduced.

There is a Ninth Order standing behind everyone. Even if the Man in the Mirror is one of the only two Ninth Order prophets on the continent, it is impossible for him to personally intervene over a trivial matter, otherwise it will only turn into a war between Ninth Orders.

In the absence of the ninth-level existence, no matter how powerful Phoenix is, there is a limit. Under the intentional or unintentional targeting of several marquis and the resistance forces, he had to turn to shrink his defense, and many territories that had been captured changed hands again.

However, due to considerations for the existence of Avis, the other parties did not go too far. Phoenix still retained several main cities in Magna Province, such as Lausanne and Orchid, but the area of ​​the territory shrunk by one third compared to when its power was at its peak.

More importantly, as the battles on the front line continued to fail, Phoenix lost his most critical source of sacrifices, which was unbearable for him who had already tasted the sweetness.

You know, this feeling of rapid power increase is addictive. After experiencing the speed of upgrading through the power of Itafus, he could no longer bear to rely on his own slow training again.

To this end, he began to take risky measures.

Since the territory of Magna Province cannot be taken for the time being, then we will turn to attack other provinces, even if they were originally the territory of "friendly forces".

Without slaves captured in the war, they would just hunt down civilian professionals to make up the numbers, and just give them the identities of rebels.

This might be against the rules and might even lead to a conflict with his own side, but Phoenix was mentally prepared for it.

As his strength gradually recovers, Itafos's presence will become his strongest support.

Moreover, the key to everything lies in his own strength.

As long as he can successfully break through to the ninth level before everyone reacts, all problems and responsibilities will not be extended to him. This is the default privilege among ninth-level professionals.

After all, what he did, in the final analysis, was just the sacrifice of some low- and middle-level professionals, and did not really touch the core interests of the ninth-level beings.

With his reckless actions, the alliance of the four major families began to split substantially. . ….….Moonlight City is located on the southeastern border of the Carlas Province, adjacent to the Marquisate of Green View. Its history can be traced back to the end of the ancient magic empire. It is one of the oldest ancient cities in the entire province and is also a famous poet capital in the entire empire.

The city was built on hills. The higher the terrain, the more magnificent the buildings appear, and the higher the status of the residents. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, the city's buildings are scattered and progressive, forming a magnificent three-dimensional picture.

The name of Moonlight City comes from its unique magic circulation phenomenon. Whenever night falls, the sky above the city is always cloudless, and the bright light of the two moons bathes the city all year round.

Especially the magnificent castle in the center that towers into the clouds. Every mid-month, a huge silver moon rises from behind the castle, illuminating the entire castle like a fairyland, so it was named the "Silver Palace" by Emperor Fidelis the Great.

Recently, with the original city lord voluntarily surrendering, the Silver Palace also welcomed its new owner.

On the top floor of the Silver Palace, on the vast open-air circular platform, Avis sat on the lord's throne inlaid with mithril and precious gems, staring quietly at the night sky, letting the silver and purple moonlight cast a veil over him.

Very rarely, he took the initiative to close his own vision of destiny, and only looked at the vast darkness with the perspective of a former mortal.

Under the night sky, the top floor of the Silver Palace seemed isolated from the rest of the world, with only Avis keeping company with the starry sky.

The stars in the sky seemed like countless eyes, blinking at him under the dark sky, but in Avis's eyes, they revealed an indescribable sense of illusion, like the curtains and lights on a stage.

After learning some information from Itafus, Anvis began to doubt the truth of this world.

Is the starry sky that he saw through the ceiling wall really a real starry sky? After an unknown amount of time, a soft warm yellow light lit up from behind him, slightly illuminating the dark environment.

"I have responded to what you said. What Phoenix did was entirely his personal behavior. We do not agree with it, and we will not support any of his subsequent actions."

Claire, holding a lantern, walked to his right, and her ethereal and pleasant voice echoed around and blended into the quiet night.

"Thank you."

Hearing the voice, Avis nodded.

Since he saw that Claire was very idle around him, he specially arranged some work for her. She is his current spokesperson, but she does not receive any salary.

"Also, Miss Fiona hopes to see you and is currently waiting downstairs."

"Fei? Let her come up."

Anvis raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed some interest.

Fiona had actually left him for some time, and based on his previous observations of the Web of Fate, the girl seemed to have received a powerful secret helper recently.

With more confidence, and with the remaining members of the Alfred family still firmly supporting her, Fiona has actually established a firm foothold in the province of Carlas and can be considered semi-independent.

So, what did Fiona want to do by coming to see him at this time? (End of this chapter)
