A comic book journey to see the Eye of Antiquity

Another gasp rang out in the palace; they couldn't believe the Alvarez Empire could be so ruthless.

"All right."

At this point, Yang Lei finally spoke, frowning and scolding, "Don't lose your composure before the battle even begins. What kind of behavior is this?"

Despite being known as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was still quite capable of keeping the situation under control. Although those people were still not calmed down, at least they wouldn't be as boisterous as before.

"What are your thoughts on this matter, Four Heavenly Kings?"

Accompanying the King and Princess Emerald was another person, Arcadios, the commander of the Sakura Knights of the Royal Army. He looked at the Four Heavenly Kings, who were now all present, and wanted to hear their opinions.

For the Kingdom of Fiore, the Four Heavenly Kings are at the very top of the pyramid. If even they don't have a good outlook on this battle, then perhaps the core of the kingdom's strategy will have to make plans for 'leaving a legacy'.

So far, the kingdom is still hesitant, unsure whether to gather all its strength to fight the enemy or to preserve a large amount of embers in the hope of a future resurgence.

"Ask us?"

The current leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, and also the current president of the council, Drajuros, gave a wry smile: "At least I don't see any way to win."

"Ugh."

The other two members of the Four Heavenly Kings, who were also vice-speakers, sighed, expressing their pessimism about the kingdom.

In short, this sudden war was a devastating blow to the Kingdom of Fiore.

Is that so?

The king closed his eyes in despair. Although he had already guessed this outcome, he still couldn't accept it when three of the Four Heavenly Kings were pessimistic about the kingdom.

"Don't jump to conclusions about things that haven't happened yet."

Yang Lei spoke again, letting out a soft hum and saying, "Perhaps the enemy is not as strong as you imagine, or perhaps our strength is not as weak as you imagine."

"?"

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Lei.

Since the king delivered the bad news, only Yang Lei has shown that he doesn't take the Alvarez Empire seriously and even seems quite confident.

The King and Princess Emerald's eyes lit up, and they looked at Yang Lei nervously. Princess Emerald asked in an expectant tone, "Lord Yang Lei, do you have any good strategies to repel the enemy?"

Because she needed Yang Lei's help, the Jade Princess even started using a respectful title for him.

Otherwise, even if Yang Lei were one of the Four Heavenly Kings, or even the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Princess Emerald would not lower herself to such a position. She would still show him the respect due to the king. However, she represents the entire kingdom and royal family, so she would at least not address Yang Lei as "you," let alone call him "sir."

"It's actually very simple."

Yang Lei shrugged and replied, "Even the kingdom doesn't need to deploy soldiers. Apart from the Twelve Shields of the Holy Light, I can wipe out all the miscellaneous troops by myself."

"In that case, all you need to do is deal with the Twelve Shields."

His idea was simple: the super-magic 'Fairy Law' could kill all the enemies he identified. No matter how many enemies there were, even if the number increased to fifty million, it wouldn't matter; they would all be wiped out in one move.

In fact, he could easily wipe out not only ordinary soldiers, but even the Twelve Shields (Noho) could be easily destroyed by him. However, because he had to leave some of them behind, he couldn't completely destroy the Alvarez Empire with just one move.

No one else knew, not even Erza herself, except for Yang Lei and one other person, that she had a mother still alive, namely Irene, one of the Twelve Shields.

Not only that, but that girl named Blantysh is not a bad person, and Yang Lei doesn't want to kill her too.

"In short."

Yang Lei stood up, pressing his hand on the table. Ignoring the small guilds, he glanced at the few faces on the table and said, "I can wipe out the enemy's five million ordinary warriors and all mages below the Holy Ten level with our guild's super magic, 'Fairy Law'."

"In this way, there will only be a dozen or so enemies left."

"Even in this situation, do you still have no chance of winning?"

0464 Erza is pregnant

That night, all the trains in the Kingdom of Fiore were brought to a halt, and the trains that had been speeding along the tracks were now completely stopped.

The passengers on this train are no ordinary people; they include not only all the main forces of Fairy Tail, but also elites from several other powerful guilds.

In addition, the high-ranking members of the Ten Wizard Saints Council, namely the other Ten Wizard Saints, also came.

This is a train heading to the front lines in the name of protecting their homeland; they are to confront the invasion of the Alvarez Empire in the port city of Harujón.

The next morning, at the station in Harugion City, the group disembarked from the train, with Yang Lei leading the way and the top combat team of the Kingdom of Fiore following behind.

The city of Harugion was deserted; long before they arrived, people had already begun evacuating the residents under cover of night.

Even if the trains are no longer available, there are still other ways to ensure the safety of the people. Instead of waiting to die in the city, risking panic in the kingdom, the city's officials temporarily removed everyone from the city.

"Aren't we there yet?"

When the Alvarez Empire hadn't arrived yet, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief; at least they wouldn't have to fight a major battle right after they arrived.

While on the train, the elites from various guilds already knew the current situation. They knew they were about to encounter 607, but they were not afraid and did not consider fleeing without a fight.

Chapter 538

It must be said that the strong are indeed strong; their courage and willpower are beyond the comprehension and imagination of the weak.

For example, those second-rate guild leaders not only failed to mobilize their own guilds to send people to provide support, but they also quietly left.

"It's a bit boring."

There's really nothing to do at the port, but it's a dangerous place to be, since nobody knows when the enemy will arrive.

"dear."

Yang Lei held Erza's little hand, and the two stood alone to one side, whispering to each other.

"Do you remember what I said to you one night when we were traveling? I might be leaving after today."

Yang Lei asked Erza that during his year-long journey, he had already told her that he would be leaving this world.

Erza nodded. Although she was a little reluctant, she already knew that Yang Lei's departure was also beyond his control.

If he could control his decision to stay or leave, they would never have met, because he was equally reluctant to leave the first two worlds and the three beloved wives in those two worlds.

"I'm waiting for you."

Erza said to Yang Lei, suddenly increasing the pressure on her hand and guiding it to her lower abdomen. A maternal smile appeared on her face as she continued, "Not only me, but our children are also waiting for you to come back."

"child?"

Yang Lei stared wide-eyed at Erza in disbelief.

Erza nodded again: "I didn't realize it at first, but last night, shortly after you and the guild master went to Crocus, I felt nauseous and then Granny Porusica found out that I was two months pregnant."

Am I going to be a dad?

Yang Lei was overjoyed and hugged Erza tightly, then threw his head back and burst into laughter.

Yang Lei's exclamation was so loud that everyone around him heard it.

"Congratulations, congratulations."

Everyone gathered around, and before the great battle was about to begin, they congratulated Yang Lei, saying that the boy was a lucky star who would bring blessings to the war and the country.

Whether the child was a lucky star or not, Yang Lei didn't know. All he knew was that this child was his bloodline and his descendant.

"I have an heir."

Yang Lei held his wife tightly, deeply moved.

This was his first child, and it was of great significance to him.

Of course, it's not that the children later on aren't important, nor is it that the two goddaughters he recognized earlier aren't important. How should I put it? This is the first time he's experienced what it's like to be a father for the first time.

Whether it was surprise or anticipation, these were feelings he was experiencing for the first time.

Moreover, for him, a husband and wife alone are not enough to constitute a complete family; there must also be children, and preferably elders as well.

Since he couldn't fulfill his filial duty to his elders, he could only treat the parents of his wife as his own and be filial to them.

He could still try to have children, but unfortunately Hinata and Sakura are still too young. He couldn't bear to let them get pregnant now, so he was careful about that when he did it.

As for Rukia, since Rukia is a Shinigami, Shinigami are the most difficult to conceive. This is because once a Shinigami gives birth, the child is incredibly powerful, known as having "true blood," and far surpasses ordinary Shinigami in both talent and potential.

Erza shouldn't have had a good chance of getting pregnant, because Yang Lei is too powerful, and it would be difficult for him to pass on his genes.

Moreover, he is also a Grim Reaper, and a Grim Reaper with extremely great strength.

In nature, the more powerful an organism is, the less likely it is to have offspring; nature is very fair.

For example, dragons are like this. It is very difficult for a pair of dragons to produce a baby, so their species has never been able to grow. Otherwise, they would not have given humans the opportunity to rise to power.

Although Yang Lei is still human, his strength is far superior to that of the dragon.

It can only be said that this child was a blessing from heaven. In addition, he had never taken any special precautions during the year or so that he and Erza had been together. Otherwise, he would probably have had to work much harder to get Erza pregnant.

The atmosphere was greatly eased by the news of Erza's pregnancy. The previously tense atmosphere was now filled with discussion about Yang Lei's unborn child.

Yang Lei's strength is obvious to all, and Erza is not weak either. It is clear that no matter whether this child is a boy or a girl, once born, he will show great talent and potential, and will at least become a Saint-level powerhouse in the future.

Yang Lei thought to himself, "That's nonsense. Even if he doesn't see the Eye of Ancient Learning, as long as his precious child inherits his immortal physique, along with other bloodline limits and one or two of the pupil techniques, he will definitely become an unparalleled powerhouse in the future. I have no worries about this at all."

Furthermore, whether or not one can become a strong person is not important; he only hopes that his child can grow up happily, and how he or she lives is entirely up to their own wishes.

"Ten months of pregnancy?"

Yang Lei raised his hand and gently rubbed and stroked Erza's flat stomach, his eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"I need to speed up my efforts to earn reward points."

He was preoccupied with something else at the moment.

As you may have forgotten, time in these mission worlds is paused as soon as Yang Lei leaves.

Each time he completes a mission, he only has ten days of vacation time in the world, and he also has to go to other worlds to see other wives. So, if he can't bring Erza to the main god space of the Infinite System, how many years will it be before this child is born?

With the arrival of this child, Yang Lei was no longer filled with worry, but instead became highly motivated.

He didn't want to leave Erza before, and although he still doesn't want to be separated from his wife, he now has a goal to strive for: to earn ten million reward points in the shortest amount of time so that he can bring all his wives to the Main God Space and reunite his family.

Although he would still often do quests in other quest instances back then, at least his wives' time was synchronized with his.

By then, if his other wives are also pregnant, he will no longer need to worry about the ten-month pregnancy period.

Chapter 539

"For our baby."

Yang Lei muttered to himself, looked up at the distant sea, glared at the huge fleet of warships that had finally appeared, and shouted, "You can all die!"

(PS: I'll finish writing the Fairy Tail arc tomorrow. As for this child, it will probably be a long, long time before I write about him, maybe he won't even appear until the very end...)

0465 The war began

On the distant coast, the sun had just risen, and in the faint light of the early morning, the silhouette of the Alvarez Empire finally appeared.

On the distant sea, a line of enormous warships could be seen rapidly approaching the port of Harujion.

"We can now see the land of the Kingdom of Fiore, and a coastal city has been spotted ahead."

The advance team had already reported the findings, their words filled with excitement.

The situation in the Alvarez Empire had been stabilized many years ago. After such a long period of peace, some people were already getting restless.

Among the surrounding countries, the Alvarez Empire is arguably the most powerful, and they believe their nation can expand its territory further.

This is not arrogance, nor is it that they are belligerent. It has always been the case throughout history. In order to prevent a country from declining when it reaches its peak of power, many wise people will put some pressure or motivation on the country and focus its goals outward.

Now the war drums have finally sounded, and their emperor has set his sights on the Kingdom of Fiore. For the warriors below, the opportunity to make a name for themselves has arrived.

Of course, war will inevitably result in death, and no one in the world is unafraid of death.

However, fortune favors the bold, and since the soldiers are supported by the state, as the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army for one day to use it." It's time for them to serve the country.

"Full speed ahead."

The commander of the vanguard had already obtained the order and shouted, "All soldiers of the vanguard, follow me!"

“Kill.”

A shout of battle rang out, and the warships at the forefront of the large fleet quickly charged forward.

. . . . . .

"They're here."

On the port of Harugeon City, the highest fighting force of the Kingdom of Fiore has gathered.

"It's finally here."

Yang Lei muttered to himself, his gaze never leaving his wife's lower abdomen, as if he could see his little baby right now. But in fact, his child, whose gender he didn't even know, was still not fully formed, after all, it was only two months along.
