Chapter 2606
After James became Sangria's Emperor, he left the Imperial Capital alongside Walganus and hurriedly headed
toward Wacchia City.
Along the way, they passed by many cities. These were once bustling cities, where the streets were full of stunning
beauties. Now, due to the war, they had become desolate. The streets were empty, and only a handful of people
could be seen walking about.
Upon seeing this, James sighed. "Such a magnificent country... Due to the war, however, most of the population has
fled."
Walagnus patted James' shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Everything's going to be alright. This matter will soon
be resolved. Once Korinth surrenders and retreats, the cultivators who have left Sangria will return."

"Let's make haste."
James did not linger in this desolate city. He catalyzed True Essence and flew full speed ahead.
After flying for a few days straight, they finally arrived at Macchia City.
Macchia City was a Sangrian city situated near the border. Though it was not a bustling city by any standards, it was
not considered backward either.
James and Walganus appeared outside the city.
The city walls were hundreds of meters high, and they were constructed using black granite. On the walls, many
soldiers patrolled the area, and the huge city gate was firmly shut. There was not a single person on the streets of
the city.
James and Walagnus did not simply barge into the city. Instead, after descending from the sky and landing steadily
on the ground, they headed toward the city gates. Before they could approach the city gates, however, they were
discovered by the patrolling guards.

"His Majesty has arrived! Open the gates!" Walganus' voice boomed.
As news of the coronation of a new Emperor had spread to Macchia, every soldier here knew that James was the
new Emperor.
Creak...
The firmly shut gate slowly opened, and many armor-clad female soldiers rushed out and stood in two rows before
kneeling.
"All hail His Majesty!" they spoke in unison.
"Rise."
James walked over to them and waved slightly.
Walganus and he walked into the city. At that moment, a female general hurriedly walked toward him.

Wearing red armor and wielding a sword on her waist, she exuded a commanding aura. She knelt on one knee,
saying, "Your Majesty."
She was the general whom James saved at Yoruba Valley.
James walked toward her and helped her up, saying, "At ease, general."
The female general stood up.
James noticed that her face was pale, and there were cracks on her armor. It was evident that she had suffered
injuries from engaging in a fierce battle.
He asked, "What's the situation at the moment?"
"This way, Your Majesty. I'll report the situation at the City Lord's Mansion." The female general made a welcoming
gesture.
James nodded.
Then, under the female general's lead, James headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
There were many soldiers on the streets. Some were healing their injuries by sitting in a lotus position, whereas the
others were treating their comrades' wounds.
