Manicco instantly noticed that Alice’s condition was not right, so he quickly went up to her to help. His right hand released a warm light and he gently pressed it on her forehead.

The light merged into Alice’s body and turned into a warm current.

Suddenly, Alice felt the wound on her right shoulder itch, and her mental state improved a lot.

“Healing magic…”

Li Yi looked at Manicco in surprise, and then slowly put Alice down.

“Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, Your Highness Alice, what’s going on? How did the two of you get together? Her Highness Alice, you seem to also be injured.”

Manicco frowned and looked at the two of them in confusion.

Alice’s small face showed a bitter smile, and she said softly, “I just entered the Forest of Elk and was chased by someone. It was this respectable Heavily Armored Dragon Knight who saved me.”

“Someone chased after you?!”

Manicco was shocked, but he quickly suppressed his shock and asked calmly, “Your Highness Alice, could you please share the details of the event with me?”

The princess of a neighboring country was chased after and almost killed in their country’s territory. If this matter was not handled properly, it might have led to conflict between the countries.

“Yes.”

Alice nodded, a hint of grief flashed in her beautiful eyes.

“Uncle Sam, oh no, Duke Sam… have rebelled…”

“What?!”

Manicco’s face was filled with astonishment.

Duke Sam, if he remembered correctly, was the younger brother of the King of the Doma Kingdom. He was a person who valued friendship and loyalty. Back when the King of Doma ascended the throne, it was because of the support of this younger brother that he was able to succeed.

Now, hearing that this person rebelled, confused Mannico to no end.

Li Yi, who was listening to their conversation, suddenly understood the situation. He knew about this Duke Sam. Back then, the Duke had started rebelling for some unknown reason. This matter had caused quite a stir.

Although he did not know why he rebelled back then, after saving Alice and hearing what she said, Li Yi now had figured out something, but he dared not say it out loud just yet.

“Duke Sam, why did he rebel? He shouldn’t have the motive to lead a rebellion, right?” Manicco asked.

Alicea was silent for a moment. Finally, she let out a deep sigh. Her beautiful little face was filled with pain and helplessness.

“Duke Sam was infected by demonic energy…”

“Infected by demonic energy! So that was why…”

When Manicco heard this, he immediately understood. His actions were due to demonic energy infestation. No wonder Duke Sam rebelled.

People infected by demonic energy would become violent and unstable. Their personalities would be distorted, and all the dark sides of human nature would be magnified countless times in them!

Alice continued, “When we found out about this, it was already too late. Now, all the people in Duke Sam’s territory have been invaded by demonic energy. Under Duke Sam’s leadership, they joined factions and started a riot.”

When he heard this, Li Yi’s pupils shrunk, and a portion of his memories from his previous life surfaced.

A huge event! It was a Faction War that happened!

Every Divine Revelation player had a corresponding landmark event when that happened.

The Faction War was a major event that allowed players to even transition from level 30 to level 100 really quickly.

This Faction War ignited the flames in Divine Revelation, it spanned over many cities and kingdoms.

Li Yi clearly remembered the spark that ignited The Faction War came from Emperor City and Kesha City!

However, he did not expect that this mission was the source of the war.

“What? They actually joined factions?!

“As one of the three major factions in the world, they actually allowed a group of people that was corrupted by demonic energy to be created?!

“This is simply violating the rights of humanity!”

Manicco found it hard to believe.

Li Yi’s expression had even turned solemn from the news.

In Divine Revelation, there were three major factions.

The first faction was the West Wind Knight, which was formed by the Ghana Empire, the Doma Kingdom, and five other countries.

The second faction was Origins. Origins was a little mysterious, and the creator was unknown. The only thing that was known was that Origins represented Anstrather.

The third one was Paro. Paro was founded by the Rose Empire in conjunction with its three neighboring countries.

In his previous life, Duke Sam had joined the Origins faction. With the help of this faction, he had successfully rebelled and pushed the current king out, beheading him for public display.

Alice nodded slightly, letting Manicco confirm that he had not heard wrongly.

Manicco’s face was ashen. After pondering for a moment only then did he dare speak again, “This matter is much too important. Your Highness Alice, I shall bring you to meet Her Majesty the Queen later.

“However, I have some matters that I wish to explain to the Heavy Armored Dragon Knight. If I may, please wait here while I relay some news.”

After saying that, Manicco looked at Li Yi and gave him a look, indicating for him to come over with him.

Alice nodded when she heard that and said politely, “Alright, I will wait here.”

Seeing that Alice had agreed, Manicco brought Li Yi out of the door and said with a serious expression, “Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, you’ve heard what happened just now clearly, right?”

“Yes sir.” Li Yi replied. A strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

The camp had been activated ahead of time, so there was not much time left for him to prepare for this war.

“Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, the situation has escalated to this. I didn’t expect the rebels to obtain the support of the Origins Faction successfully. The situation in the Doma Kingdom does not seem bright right now.

“I believe that after meeting Her Majesty the Queen, the West Wind Knight will start recruiting soldiers.”

Manicco took out a medal from his pocket and handed it to Li Yi.

Li Yi reached out and took it. He felt that this item looked familiar, but he could not recall what it could do.

“This is a faction medal. With this medal, once you are strong enough to join the faction, you can directly become the leader of a small team.”

Manic explained, and then the system’s voice sounded.

[System Notification: Sudden Mission — Amidst the Chaos, complete!]

[System Notification: Mission Reward — Medal of Merit!]

“Thank you, Lord Manicco.”

Li Yi held the medal with a heavy heart. The speed of The Faction War had increased. He did not know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

This was because once the Faction War system was activated, it meant that the early stages of the game would have ended and the game had officially started on the track to take over the real world.

Manicco shook his head. He then looked at Li Yi and said in a serious tone that he had never used before, “Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, you must get stronger as soon as possible.”

Li Yi felt that Manicco’s words had a deeper meaning to it, but he still replied, “I understand.”

Manicco nodded and did not say anything further. He patted Li Yi on the shoulder and walked into the office. Li Yi followed closely behind.

“I’m sorry, Your Highness Alice I have taken much of your important time.”

Manicco said to Alice, who was still standing in the same spot.

Alice shook her head.

Seeing this, Manicco directly said, “Well then, Your Highness Alice, we shall set off to the Emperor’s City to meet Her Majesty the Queen.”

“Okay,” Alice said.

At this time, Li Yi could not help but interject.

“That means… I don’t have to go with you, right?”

Li Yi was not interested in meeting the queen at all. Now that he already knew the cause and effect of everything he had to prepare himself. The camp was about to open. The most important thing now was to go and level up and get stronger to join the camp as soon as possible. With the help of the camp’s mission resources, he would become stronger faster.

Hearing this, Manicco said, “Heavy Armored Dragon Knight, you don’t have to follow me, I wish you safe travels.”

“Okay, then I’ll leave first.”

Li Yi bowed and took his leave, then he left in a hurry.

Manicco looked towards the retreating Li Yi with his eyes full of worry. Then, he led Alice to the City..
