With that, the group set off enthusiastically to where Phoenixion was based.
Phoenixion was considered a small Centuria that lived in a small village.
Their village comprised two rows of bamboo buildings that were surrounded by a bamboo wall. Moreover, there
were patrols keeping watch twenty-four hours a day.
No sooner had the guards seen the approaching troop than they blew a whistle as a form of precaution.
The sound of the whistle stirred up the village. Everyone surged out of their homes and ran toward the main
entrance.
In fact, some didn't even have time to put on their pants.
The guards demanded, “Who are you? Why have you come to Phoenixion?”
One of the men from Calixion frantically explained, “Sir, this is a misunderstanding. We're from Calixion.”
“That's right. Before Mr. Calix's death, he instructed us to join Ms. Phoenix. He told us that he is on good terms with
the latter and that she would definitely take us in.”
“We bear you no ill will, so there's nothing to worry about.”

The guard asked in surprise, “You're from Calixion? Did you just mention that Calix is dead?”
The sorrowful members of Calixion replied, “Yes, we did. Calix was challenged by a Decanus and killed.”
“What?” the shocked guard exclaimed.
Many years had passed since a Decanus challenged a Centurion.
All this while, the outer district had always been peaceful. As for the few Decani there, they were weak and never
stirred up any trouble.
Thus, they had not heard of any Decanus with the capability to challenge a Centurion.
The guard inquired further, “Who is the Decanus who challenged Calix?”
The Calixion men replied, “It was Apollyon!”
Apollyon!
The guard's shock intensified. “Wasn't he defeated by Calix before? Back then, Calix crippled him in a single move.
Are you telling me now that Calix has died at the hands of Apollyon? How is that f*cking possible?”
“Do we look like we would be joking about something like that? Anyway, please inform Ms. Phoenix about this and
tell her to take us in.”
As the gravity of the situation dawned upon the guard, he agreed immediately, “All right. Just wait there. I'll report
this to Ms. Phoenix right away.”
With that, the guard hurried off.
Meanwhile, members of Phoenixion had already blocked the entrance and were giving the visitors murderous
glares.
However, some of the men from Phoenixion began to recognize those from Calixion.
“Hey, aren't those men from Calixion? Why have they come?”
“Calixion? F*ck, they really are!”
“What are all of you blocking our main entrance for? Ms. Phoenix and Mr. Calix are close, so you had better not try
and sow discord!”
“Back off at once. Otherwise, Ms. Phoenix will not let you off.”
The Calixion men had no choice but to explain, “Please don't misunderstand. We're here to join you and have no
hostile intentions.”

The Phoenixion men were taken by surprise. “Join us? What about Mr. Calix?”
The Calixion men proceeded to relate what had happened.
Upon learning what had transpired, the Phoenixion men were left dumbfounded.
“Oh my God! A Centurion has been killed. This is something unheard of.”
“Which Decanus is it who possesses such power?”
“Oh no, after decades of peace in the Centuria's district, it looks like chaos is brewing again.”
“Nevertheless, we probably don't need to worry. If they join us, Phoenixion will grow even more powerful.”
“Make way. Coming through.”
Soon, a melodious yet authoritative female voice rang out from behind the crowd.
At the sound of the voice, the Phoenixion members opened up a path at once.
Soon, a sexy lady in a tight leather outfit walked hurriedly to the front.
Despite living in such barren conditions, she stood out from the crowd with her fair skin and exquisite features.
The lady was none other than the Centurion of Phoenixion—Phoenix!
