Phantom Feather, a top-tier reconnaissance and assassin unit.

She traded relatively low attribute values ​​for powerful special abilities and extreme speed. At first glance, her damage output may not seem high, but once you understand her mechanics, you'll realize how terrifying this unit is.

Elemental resistance is a very special attribute; the bonus from negative resistance is multiplicative!
-
500% resistance means that the opponent will receive X times the Air elemental damage. After reducing the resistance with Wind Blade, the damage of Phantom Feather will be extremely explosive.

"My lord!" Rhine's voice trembled slightly with excitement. She spread her wings and then suddenly folded them, kneeling deeply on the ground like a devout believer.

The harpies behind her all lowered their heads, their wings pressed tightly to the ground, and their amber eyes glistened with tears.

"You braved perilous journeys to build this Tower of Air for us... We will never let you down!"

Wang Bufu stood with his hands behind his back.

His gentle gaze swept over the transformed warriors, and he smiled with satisfaction: "Rise. Your talents were meant to soar to the heavens; this tower merely ensures that these pearls are no longer tarnished."

He reached out to support them, and a gentle breeze softly lifted the female demons. "For the next two weeks, you will focus on your cultivation within the tower. Uncle Ming will guide you in mastering the secrets of manipulating the elemental energy."

"As you command, Lord!"

Heska was the first to bow, her wings trembling slightly with excitement. As the clan leader, she knew better than anyone the extraordinary opportunities these girls had received.

This route, which she had never heard of before, was absolutely invaluable.

Wang Bufu nodded slightly, turned and left, his clothes fluttering, looking handsome and imposing. Rhine and the others trembled with excitement, feeling as if the wind had touched their bodies again.

Butler Ming had been waiting there for quite some time.

"Young master, I just received news that crows have returned to Sunset Mountains. King Charles II of the Stag has sent an envoy."

"Oh?" Wang Bufu raised an eyebrow, but didn't stop walking. "They've finally arrived."

The moment he stepped out of the tower, the clear, melodious chanting of the Rhine rose behind him. The banshees were celebrating their advancement with song, bidding farewell to Wang Bufu. The air currents carried the song upwards, blooming into an invisible flower amidst the clouds.

……

"Your Highness! Please wait a moment, Your Highness!"

Pietro Red Flame's legs left afterimages as he ran, panting and shouting as he reached out his hand.

"Whoa!" Charles stopped his horse, turned around and shouted, "Teacher Pietro, hurry up, or we won't be able to reach Sunset Mountain before dark."

"That's why I said we should rest in the count's territory and set off again tomorrow," Pietro complained, his face dark.

"Is Weiyi my junior sister or yours? Why do you seem more anxious than I am, Your Highness?"

Charles's fingertips unconsciously traced the stag motif on the gilded saddle, as memories of his past life flooded back.

On the burning, broken bridge, the blood-stained girl in white robes stood with her sword. As the elven silver arrow pierced her frail body, she stubbornly carved a path for him. "Hmph, she risked her life to save me in her past life, how could I not be anxious?" Charles thought to himself. "That silly girl with unparalleled swordsmanship talent could have survived."

Charles suddenly looked up at the rising sun through the gaps in the clouds, his emerald eyes from his previous life overlapping with the dawn.

"Wei Yi will go first, Your Highness, please hurry..."

"Your Highness, you promised me that you would ascend the throne, uncover the truth behind the destruction of the Grū family, and clear their name. Please, Your Highness, do not forget your promise to Yui."

The situation was too critical at the time, and he didn't even have time to agree to Wei Yi's request.

The promises that could not be spoken have now been transformed into a secret letter bearing the prince's seal, hidden in the saddlebag.

"This time, I will make sure she lives to witness the exoneration of the Gru family."

“Professor Pietro,” Charles suddenly smiled and said, “you’re right, I am indeed more anxious than you, my senior.”

After all, who wouldn't want to witness firsthand the heroine who could slay Duke Hank and uncover the evil cult's conspiracy?

At this point, Charles suddenly reined in his horse and looked back at the road he had come from.

The sky was overcast with faint flashes of lightning, suggesting that rain was imminent.

Charles narrowed his amber eyes, his voice suddenly turning cold:
"My brother has just ascended the throne, and the Earl of Iris dares to embezzle border rations. The Grand Duke of Rock Beach is secretly colluding with our southern nobles. The capital is also in turmoil, with rumors flying everywhere—do these hyenas really think the Stag's blade has gone dull?"

"Whoa!"

Charles's warhorse snorted uneasily.

"Good boy." Charles bent down and gently stroked the horse's mane, then looked up with the composure befitting a prince.
"If we have the sword of Wei Yi Gru, how can we not suppress the area around Leviathan Fortress?"

His fingertips brushed against the sword at his waist, and the Morning Star gem on the scabbard suddenly emitted a faint light. "Once the borders are secure, I will make those restless nobles see clearly. Even if Father is not here, no jackals will be allowed to bare their teeth before the throne of House Stag."

Pietro was shocked.

A rumor suddenly popped into his mind—the second prince was precocious, exceptionally talented, and had the potential to be a founding father, surpassing the eldest prince by a hundredfold.

Sure enough!

The prince, who is only thirteen years old, is able to see through the situation in the capital and come to the same conclusion as his father, the Crimson Flame Sword Saint!

Horror!
Fortunately, His Highness the Prince was kind and had no intention of ascending the throne; otherwise, the Kingdom of Xionglu would have been in danger.

“Oh well, one more day won’t make a difference.” Pietro finally reached Charles’s side, panting, and said, “I still have something to tell you, Your Highness.”

"Oh?" Charles glanced at Pietro with a puzzled look.

"Sir Petrov, is there any information you haven't told me?"

"Your Highness, if I may be so bold, based on my understanding of my junior sister, there is absolutely no way she could defeat General Hank's troops."

She was very talented, but she had too little time to study; even the most gifted person couldn't achieve that.

There is a force secretly helping my junior sister.

Pietro lowered his voice and said, "That power has epic, even legendary, figures!"

"What?" Charles frowned immediately. "What do you mean?"

Pietro's voice lowered even further: "In the Sunset Mountains, I encountered a terrifying creature that looked like a cat and whose strength was unfathomable."

My father told me that our mission this time, besides contacting my junior sister, was also to find a way to bring that epic figure to our side.
