Chapter 2559
The reports came in one after another.
The Empress had a solemn expression as she was brief on how their troops were faring.
Immediately, she issued an order, "Get the other three armies to gather in the Imperial Capital and tell them to
defend it with their lives.”
"Understood."
At that moment, the female general was on the way back to the country with her 100,000 surviving soldiers.
Half a month later, the female general arrived at the Imperial Capital.
She kneeled on the ground in the Sangria Palace.
'Your Highness, please forgive me for failing to repel Korinth’s troops. Our army suffered heavy casualties during
the battle that took place in Yantargh Canyon. This man is the savior who prevented Korinth’s merciless army from
wiping us out. Without his help, Korinth’s army might have already reached the Imperial Capital by now."

All of them were beautiful women.
He felt entranced by the sight of so many gorgeous women gathered together. To him, it was like looking at a
mesmerizing landscape.
The Empress' eyes were fixated on James. She frowned after sensing that his energy was relatively meager and
seeing that he was only at the Mage Rank. She questioned," General, did you say he was the one that stopped the
Korinth army?"
The female general replied respectfully, 'That’s right, Your Majesty."
The Empress frowned and said, "He's merely at the Mage Rank's First Stage. As opposed to him, the Grand Marshal
of Korinth has reached the Tribulation Rank's Second Stage. You said he prevented their army from continuing the
attack. I don't see how could he have stopped them with his level of strength."
"What do you mean?" The female general considered the Empress' statement.
During the confrontation between James and the Grand Martial, she had been injured and unconscious. Thus, she
was unsure of what actually happened when the two fought.
At that moment, James stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, one's cultivation rank doesn't represent their
true strength."
The Empress did not respond to his declaration and turned to her servants, "Come and show our benefactor the
place where he may have succor."
Soon, several beautiful maids came and led James out of the palace hall.
James also remained silent and turned around to follow them.
After James left, the Empress began to interrogate the female general.
The female general relayed everything she knew in great detail, including being saved by James.
Then, the Empress called for some of the surviving soldiers.
From the testimony of these soldiers, she learned that James was indeed the person that forced the Grand Marshal
of Korinth to retreat.
After learning of the truth, the Empress sighed in relief.

'You’re all dismissed."
The Empress stood up and left the palace hall.
Meanwhile, James had been shown his accommodation within the palace.
He was given an independent courtyard which was surrounded by lush greenery. The birds sang beautiful melodies
as they perched in the trees and the fragrance of flowers perfumed the air.
James was sitting down to rest in the yard as he tried to get a sense of his surroundings. He muttered, "There's
nothing out of the ordinary here. Why did they say that men can't survive in Sangria?”
While he was deep in thought over the topic, a group of people approached him.
The person in the lead was a woman wearing a golden dress with a crown atop her head. Many beautiful court
ladies followed behind her. All of them had equally lovely and were on par with the Empress in terms of
appearance. However, they lacked the elegance and grace that she exuded.
"Sir."
The Empress approached him with a charming smile. She looked at James and gave him a slight bow as she said,
"I'm very grateful for your assistance. If it wasn’t for your intervention, my country would've been in ruins by now.
You're our country's benefactor, so do tell us if there is anything you would like. After we have repaid your debt of
kindness, we humbly request that you leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, a curse will befall you."
