Hail the King

Chapter 575: The Return of The Heroes

This time, Balesi was completely dead.

The miracle couldn’t occur again, and he couldn’t survive this.

Fei checked Balesi’s corpse carefully, and he found that all the critical magic energy channels and connections in his body shattered. Balesi’s body condition was in bad shape to begin with since Fei’s necromancer character’s curses messed him up. If his holy power didn’t reach Moon-Class, he would have died a long time ago.

Therefore, committing suicide was a way for him to free himself from all the pain and suffering.

Fei thought about it and punched on the ground to create a huge pit. Then, he wiped out the marks he left on Balesi’s corpse, and he threw the corpse into the pit. Then, he waved his hand and pushed the remains of the other three holy knights into the pit as well. He cleaned the battlefield well, and no traces could be found.

On the other hand, the burly holy knight who was imprisoned by the bubble-like energy sphere finally stopped struggling.

This sphere was thin, but it was extremely firm; it was an item created by Akara and Cain. They studied the semi-godly runes that were locking [Demon King’s Wisdom] in the mysterious stone room, and they used the imprisonment effect of the runes in this scroll. Even a Sun-Class Lord might not be able to destroy it, let alone this holy knight whose arms were broken.

“You better let me go. Otherwise, Chambord will be destroyed!” this burly holy knight said coldly in a threatening tone. He had calmed down already, and vicious and crazy lights were flashing in his eyes.

Fei sneered and slapped his face twice.

As broken teeth and ripped flesh flew out of his mouth, this burly holy knight’s face swelled up like a half-rotten peach.

“You...... How dare you shame me like this? Do you know who I am? In front of me, Chris, even......”

After being slapped, this burly holy knight named Chris lost his mind. This man who was known as the No.1 Moon-Class Elite in the Shiye Shrine lost his cool, and he shouted angrily like a hyena that got its partner taken away during mating.

Pia! Pia!

Fei responded with two more slaps.

Chris felt like his ears were buzzing loudly after that. He was in a lot of pain, and he was enraged. The fact that he couldn’t do anything in respond drove him nuts, and he fainted as a result.

Fei was too lazy to talk to him. He reached into the energy sphere and grabbed onto Chris’ shoulder.

A destructive energy rushed into Chris’ body.

After a series of crackling noise, all of the energy channels and connections in his body were locked, and his holy power was gone.

Then, Fei turned around and looked at Louise, Pato, and Brand. At the moment, these three kids were looking at him as if he was a god. He said to Pato and Brand, “Help me carry this idiot back to the campsite. Give him to Oleg and ask Oleg to open this idiot’s mouth and get all the relevant information.”

As he said that, he put away [Immortal King’s Stone Crusher].

Tonight, it was the first time that this war hammer showed itself in this world, and its power was unbelievable. Fei’s real strength was somewhere around mid-tier Half Moon, and he was a distance away from Chris. However, with this war hammer in his hands, he could destroy this top-tier Full Moon Elite within ten strikes...... That feeling was divine!

This hammer was going to drink a lot of blood of Fei’s powerful enemies, and tonight was its first feast.

......

When Fei and the group returned to the campsite, it was already midnight.

The burly holy knight, Chris, was given to Oleg to handle.

Therefore, almost everyone in the campsite heard the desperate and beast-like screams sounding from Oleg’s gloomy tent; those noises didn’t sound like the noises made by humans, and all creatures stayed at least ten meters away from that tent.

-The next day morning-

Red-eyed Oleg gave a detailed report to the king.

Fei read it carefully, thought for a while, and flicked his wrist, turning the report into a cloud of powder. The cloud of powder soon dispersed into the area after being blown by the spring wind.

The king nodded and said to this flatterer pleasantly, “Not bad!”

The courage, persistence, and loyalty this fatty showed when fighting with Tony and Snow Mountain Hermit left a deep impression on everyone’s mind. Although he was still a big-time flatterer, Fei’s opinion of him got even better.

“It is my honor to serve you.” This flatterer was thrilled after getting the king’s compliment.

“Eh...... there are always people in the world who believe they are in control of everything. If you don’t hit them and let them feel the pain, they could think that you are an easy target, and they would want to bully you...... Balesi is such a snake. Although he is dead, he had already successfully ignited the greed in some people’s minds, posing a great threat to Chambord...... Hehe, the Shiye Shrine? Bishop Platini? Great! Since you guys want to plot against me, then I guess it is meant to be. As the bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, I’m going to be lighting the first fire on you!” Fei thought as he slowly walked out of the central tent and looked up at the sun in the sky.

At the moment, the sun was slowly rising from the eastern sky.

Oleg followed the king. He was always interested in figuring out his lord, and he knew Fei’s personality too well. Therefore, when he overheard the king’s murmurs, he somehow felt like the warm spring breeze was a bit chilly, and he subconsciously thought of a terrifying scene where only mountains of corpses and burning flames could be seen.

“Let’s move out! Increase the traveling speed, and let’s try to get back to the Chambord Castle before tomorrow’s sunset,” Fei shouted.

......

During noon of the next day, the troop finally stepped into the old territory of Chambord.

Many warriors and soldiers howled and cried as soon as they stepped into their homeland.

Half a year wasn’t that long, but a lot of events occurred. They followed their king to the Capital of Zenit for the competition between affiliated kingdoms before going to the Jax Battle Zone; they went through battles and earned the honor.

A lot of them thought that they would never get to see their home again once they stepped onto the battlefield, but they were willing to fight for and serve their king.

Their king didn’t fail them.

They left with 318 people, and they returned with 318 people. Not a single member of Chambord was killed in battle; it was a miracle.

By now, some soldiers already kneeled and kissed the green grassland, murmuring their family members’ names; they had never been so homesick. They felt like they could see the Chambord Castle that was at the foot of the huge mountains.

“Look! The scouts from the kingdom!”

On a hill not too far away, they saw three cavaliers riding on three roaring flame beasts. The cavalier in the lead was holding a flag that had an image of a two-headed dog with an ax and a blade in each mouth, and it was fluttering in the wind.

It was clear that they were the scouts of Chambord.

The people in the Chambord City knew that the king and the troop were returning, and Bast and Brook sent out scouts to the path that they would be taking. A scout went back to report, and the other three proceeded forward to greet their king.

Whoosh!

A magic arrow was shot across the sky, leaving a temporary image of a two-headed dog in the air.

This was the newest way of communication between the armed forces of Chambord.

“Your Majesty!!!”

The three cavaliers quickened the roaring flame beasts, and they quickly approached Fei like three red clouds.

Then, they jumped off their mounts gracefully, single-kneeled, and saluted at Fei.

They finally met the great lord of the kingdom. As a result, these three scouts were extremely excited. Their voices were shaking, and they stared at Fei with admiration. Compared with Louise, Pato, and Brand, these scouts showed even more respect.

In Chambord, Fei was the god in the citizens’ minds.
