Chapter 1760: Chapter 1758: Canghuang Shire

At first, everyone was just shocked by the weapon Peter Brown carried, but now, having witnessed Peter transition from the Martial Artist to the Martial Master level, a deeper sense of respect shone in everyone’s eyes.

"Congratulations, Sir, on successfully advancing,"

the pretty girl leading the group said with a smile to Peter Brown.

"May I ask if that weapon of yours came from the Lower Realm?" The middle-aged Martial Master, clearly perceptive, asked.

Peter, seeming not to want to hide anything, replied, "Correct, this Weapon is from the Lower Realm. I had just emerged from Despair Forest, thinking it would be destroyed in three days, yet unexpectedly, it’s still usable now."

As Peter spoke, everyone saw his Ring and the Crystal Core Gun beginning to crumble and then dissipate.

In fact, this was a trick Peter had crafted, using nanotechnology to command, making items vanish in an instant.

"What a pity!"

Everyone sighed at that moment, deeply shocked by the power of that mighty Weapon.

Its destruction actually made everyone relax a little.

"May I know where you are planning to go now, sir?" the beautiful girl inquired, genuinely concerned about the man who had saved her life, feeling grateful.

"Sunny County Town has been overtaken by rogue troops; both the Honorable Magistrate and the Count Captain have left. The Honorable Magistrate left in a Flying Car from the Lower Realm I provided. He said, if I could break through the encirclement, to seek him out in the Shire, and that’s what I intend to do," Peter answered.

Snickering, the maid said, "Taking away your Flying Car and still playing the good guy, knowing full well it would be hard for you to escape that dangerous place!"

At this moment, the beautiful young girl spoke, "I thank you for saving my life, my name is Hua Rongyue, and I am the County Princess of Tsang Huang Shire. Since you’re heading to Tsang Huang Shire as well, why not travel with us?"

Peter was surprised. He hadn’t expected the person he saved to be the County Princess. Since he was headed that way anyway, and it seemed safer, he nodded and said, "Then I thank you, County Princess."

The Martial Master looked at Peter appreciatively and praised, "Little brother, you’re impressive, advancing to the Martial Master level shortly after coming out of Despair Forest. Your future is boundless. Why not join the County Princess’s Guard Team and become a personal guard for the Municipal Escort? Rest assured, with your cultivation, taking on a role as a squad leader is definitely possible."

The County Princess also smiled and said, "Sir, you saved my life, and I shouldn’t influence your decision, but either way, if you go to Tsang Huang Shire, you would join the Army. It would be better if you became part of the Municipal Escort directly."

"Then I will join," Peter said, thinking this might indeed be a good opportunity, he nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing Peter’s consent, smiles spread across everyone’s faces.

After tidying up the battlefield, they continued on their way. They had strayed from their path earlier due to being pursued, but now they corrected their course.

"County Princess, with your status, surely you’re not escorted by just these few personal guards?" Peter asked as they traveled. The County Princess had sought his company to talk about matters of the Lower Realm, her curiosity about the Lower Realm prompting Peter to voice his own questions.

The accomplished Martial Master sighed and said, "The County Governor does have many skilled fighters. The team guarding the County Princess this time was led by a General Level expert. We didn’t expect to fall into an ambush. The assailants emerged abruptly, and our General Level expert was killed instantly. It was only with a desperate fight that we managed to break free. The attackers were led by a General Level expert, and we were no match for them."

Hearing this, Peter exclaimed in alarm, "If that’s the case, might there still be troops on their way?"

"Don’t worry about that. We’ve sent out a distress signal, and reinforcements will arrive soon enough. There should be no problem," was the reply.

"Without your rescue, Sir, it would have been unlikely for us to survive this time, and even with reinforcements, it’s hard to predict the outcome," the County Princess said.

As they spoke, a cloud of dust ahead signaled the approach of a group of riders.

Peter, who had been bracing for a battle with the enemy, heard the Martial Master exclaim with joy, "The reinforcements have arrived!"

The leader, a General Level expert, rode up quickly on a Beast Horse, dismounted, and knelt half-way saying, "County Princess, I apologize for the delay in your rescue—Mickey Richardson, at your service."

Seeing the incoming Soldiers, all adopted a kneeling posture.

"Rise. Let’s hurry back to the city," the County Princess commanded with the authority of her title.

The arriving troops, numbering in the hundreds, radiated a powerful aura that even Peter, now a Martial Master, found imposing. He realized that if he hadn’t advanced, he would not even have been considered a match.

With the protection of a substantial Army, they encountered no further trouble on the road. After a day, they could see an imposing city, its walls reaching high into the sky, so thick that not even a Martial Marshal could break through. In front of such architecture, human strength paled.

As the procession entered the city, Peter could feel its bustling energy.

The Beast Horses trod on Greenstone pavements, their hoofbeats echoing loudly.

"Sir, as a member of the prefectural city, we will provide you with a small courtyard. If you have any requests, just use this Jade Tablet to find someone to take care of them," said the County Princess as she handed Peter a small tablet. She then instructed the Martial Master, "Camden Jones, could you handle the arrangements? Mr. Wang is different from the other personal guards; he has his own freedom. Arrange a small courtyard outside the Mansion for him to live in, and provide a monthly allowance of a thousand Crystal Coins."

Hearing this, envy shone in the eyes of the Martial Master who replied with respect, "Rest assured, County Princess, I will take care of it."

The County Princess smiled gently once more and turned to Peter, "You should first familiarize yourself with the situations in this world."

Peter knew the County Princess was looking out for him and bowed, saying, "Thank you, County Princess, for your care. Peter Brown is most grateful."

"There is no need for such formality, Sir. Compared to the life-saving grace, what I offer is far too little. I will inform my father of your deed, and I believe he will reward you accordingly," the County Princess assured.

Watching the County Princess’s motorcade head towards the prefectural city, Peter understood that there was still a significant gap between his status and that of the County Princess. That she had done this much for him was already commendable. It seemed she intended to use this method to repay him for saving her, so there would no longer be any debts between them, and the City Lord would likely express his thanks as well.

Peter regarded these matters lightly, as he truly needed time to further understand everything in this new world.
