CHAPTER 851: THANK YOU

After the execution, the people cheered Sir Ferix’s name. They were truly satisfied with what they saw. Many had already disliked how Munez led the Barevisk family, and with his past revealed, they hated him to the core. His death truly gave them hope that under Sir Ferix, the Barevisk family could rise again.

Sir Ferix also continued with what he needed to do as patriarch. His job was not done and would not stop at this moment. There were still many things he needed to set straight before the Barevisk family could fully stabilize.

However, later that afternoon, another piece of news spread, giving everyone another shock. These past few days were truly full of surprises, filling the people with excitement. This time, the shocking news was also about Aldrian the Great, and it was about his plan to depart for the Fallen Star Cluster.

Aldrian the Great would wage war against the devils in the Fallen Star Cluster and reclaim the entire cluster!

That was something big and truly daring. The Fallen Star Cluster had already been under the devils’ occupation for generations, and no one had ever been able to retake it. In fact, since the devils built their base in the Fallen Star Cluster, they had grown stronger, and even other star clusters were receiving more and more attacks from them.

They knew that if nothing was done, there was a possibility that the central star cluster might also fall into the devils’ hands.

Although they knew the worst possible outcome, the disunity among the powers in the central star cluster made the effort to reclaim the Fallen Star Cluster extremely difficult, if not impossible. Added to that, the devils were truly strong. The fact that they had held that star cluster for so long was proof of it.

Hearing that Aldrian the Great wanted to reclaim it seemed too sudden, but the people began to connect it to the surprise attack by the devils not long ago.

This could be Aldrian the Great’s retaliation, a retaliation that might hit the devils hard as a whole. Maybe, with Aldrian the Great’s strength, he could truly accomplish what many had failed to do in the past.

This news was also confirmed by several powers across the world. They heard that it had become a hot topic in the Ancient Blue Gate World yesterday, when many powers decided to announce it to the world.

Aldrian the Great would also offer anyone who wanted to join him the chance to depart with him in a few days.

The moment the announcement spread, it caused an uproar across the world and even in other worlds. Because of that, many powers began to mobilize their troops toward the Ancient Blue Gate World.

It was truly different from the past, whenever someone declared an attack on the Fallen Star Cluster before, there had never been such spirited activity.

Forget about showing enthusiasm, the other powers had even appeared apathetic at the very prospect of reclaiming the Fallen Star Cluster.

At this moment, many people showed their interest and spirit to join Aldrian the Great in his war against the devils in the Fallen Star Cluster. In their minds, this time might be different. This time, Aldrian the Great might create another history that would be written for future generations to admire.

They wanted to be involved in this history and contribute to it. What made them confident was simply their belief in Aldrian the Great’s strength and capability.

There had never been someone like him in the past, and with his appearance now, he could bring change. If they succeeded in reclaiming the Fallen Star Cluster, the glory would also be shared among them.

The sight of many interstellar vessels beginning their journey from other stars toward the Ancient Blue Gate World could be seen everywhere. Even in the Akares Star, the Valroy family could be seen joining the war. Their interstellar vessels, filled with troops, departed for the Ancient Blue Gate World.

For those who did not have transportation vessels but still wanted to join, they could board the vessels of certain guilds that had opened recruitment for the war. These guilds were also eager to join the battle with their own resources.

The situation was truly busy, filled with countless activities as everyone prepared for war.

----------------------------

As night came, people were still talking about the upcoming war. Although preparations were still underway, many were already confident about its prospects.

The talk was all about how Aldrian the Great would lead the alliance troops and finally liberate the Fallen Star Cluster from the devils. With the Fallen Star Cluster reclaimed, the devils’ threat near the central star cluster would disappear. Travel would become safer, and people could visit more places freely.

While the outside was busy and noisy with discussions and preparations for war, Sir Ferix, Madam Elysia, their daughter Ilona, and the avatar sat together around a small table. Small glasses of tea rested on the table as they seemed to enjoy a quiet tea time.Madam Elysia had already moved to the main manor, and the other avatar had returned to Sylphia’s side after Aldrian sent him there.

Sir Ferix turned toward the avatar and spoke.

"My apologies, Your Majesty, if I cannot help you more. I truly wish to follow you into this war, but I don’t think the family’s situation is stable enough for me to leave it for months."

The avatar smiled at him.

"It’s okay, Sir Ferix. You should take care of the Barevisk family first. It’s more important to keep the family stable. It would not be good to leave right after taking the seat of patriarch. The entire family still needs your presence here." He then looked at Ilona.

"Besides, with Miss Ilona and her group joining the alliance troops, it’s already enough to show that you support me in this war against the devils."

Sir Ferix sighed and nodded.

"Still, I truly want to join Your Majesty in this war. I thought I could do more, but in the end, I know I have to stay," he said.

The avatar took a sip of his tea before asking,

"Anyway, how about the Valroy family? Did you receive anything from them? Did they try to contact you in any way?"

Sir Ferix shook his head.

"No, there is nothing from them. As Your Majesty expected, they seem unwilling to meddle in our family’s affairs. Since they gave no reaction after I executed Munez and all his minions, the Valroy family has clearly shown their stance on this matter."

The avatar nodded.

"Right. If they want to rebuild their relationship with the Barevisk family, they will have to start from zero again—through you. But I doubt they will do that, at least not anytime soon."

Sir Ferix nodded as he looked at the surface of his tea. He could see his own reflection for a moment before lifting his gaze toward the avatar.

"So, I guess Your Majesty will return to the Ancient Blue Gate World?"

The avatar nodded.

"Yes, I think my work here is done. Sir Ferix has already taken the patriarch’s position, and there is no opposing force strong enough to shake your authority. You can handle the rest on your own. I don’t think anything will cause you trouble again."

Hearing the answer, Sir Ferix nodded. Then, suddenly, he stood and made a deep bow toward him.

"I truly thank Your Majesty for all your help during this time. Thank you for coming to me and helping me escape my unfortunate situation. I don’t know how I can repay this, but I dare to say that I will gladly assist Your Majesty if you ever need anything from me. Just say the word, and I will do my best, even if I have to sacrifice myself."

Madam Elysia and Ilona looked at Sir Ferix in surprise, but soon they also stood and bowed toward the avatar.

"Thank you for helping my family, Your Majesty. Just as my husband said, I will also do my best if Your Majesty ever needs anything from me or my family," Madam Elysia said.

"Me too, Your Majesty. Thank you for coming to us and helping our family. I swear on my name that I will dedicate my life to you if you ever need it," Ilona said.

The avatar smiled at the family and waved his hand.

"No need to say such things. I had my own reasons for helping you, so you don’t have to go that far. Just do your best to develop the Barevisk family, that will be enough," he said.

Sir Ferix straightened his body, followed by the others.

"Well, I still stand by what I said. Whatever the reason Your Majesty had for helping us, it’s a fact that you brought us to this point. It’s something I feel I must do, so I won’t change my words or my promise," he said.

Madam Elysia and Ilona also seemed to agree, remaining silent as they looked at the avatar with firm eyes. The avatar could only nod at their determination and accept their sincerity.

They then discussed other matters as they enjoyed their time together. The next day, the avatar finally returned to the Ancient Blue Gate World after Aldrian teleported him back.
