Hail the King

Chapter 642: Get Out!

A drop of sweat slowly slid down Dillies’ forehead.

After hearing what happened in the poor neighborhood from Kulun, Dillies wasn’t too concerned. After all, the King of Chambord wasn’t here; it was just the few weak kids who were saved by the king a little more than half a year ago. That was why he decided to come here with the elite soldiers.

“They were only poor kids; what can they do after about half a year? Although we can’t offend the King of Chambord and do anything to them, we can still scare them a little. We can threaten them a bit before letting them go, and that should handle this situation nicely,” he thought.

However, he never expected that those poor kids who were like ants in his eyes before could get this powerful. Right now, he was the ant! Even though he was the no.1 master of Hot Spring Gate, he was still no match for these people.

It was unimaginable.

Dillies was in an awkward situation.

If he really apologized and admitted defeat in front of thousands of soldiers of the [Rapid Wind Legion], then his title as the no.1 master of Hot Spring Gate would become a joke, and everyone would laugh at him.

However, what could he do if he didn’t want to apologize?

These assassins were far more powerful him, and they were supported by the King of Chambord who couldn’t even be held back by the royal family of Zenit...... What made Dillies more desperate was that even if he could find a way to detain these people, what could he do after? He couldn’t punish them or kill them. After all, the King of Chambord was overly protective of his people. If this insane ruler got mad, the entire Tolemy Family and Hot Spring Gate might turn into ashes under his rage.

Dillies was unwilling to admit defeat, but he couldn’t do anything about it! This was the first time that Dillies sensed the powerlessness as a weakling.

“What? Why are you still here?” Inzagi frowned and sneered, “If you don’t get out of here right now, don’t blame me for not giving you the opportunity. Before sunset today, all the members of Tolemy Family need to walk to this courtyard in plain clothes and pay respect to Uncle York and all my friends who were killed here more than half a year ago. Also, I need your father to personally kill Kulun, the perpetrator of that incident, right here. You need to experience the pain that we experienced, and it will also remove a tumor from Hot Spring Gate. If you do what I said, it will put an end to this. Otherwise, Tolemy Family will be wiped out when the moon rises tonight.”

“You......” Dillies was enraged; he didn’t expect this black knight to come up with such a hard requirement. He shouted, “Don’t push it too far!”

“Push it too far?” The mockery on Inzagi’s face intensified. He added, “Never mind; I don’t want to talk to you anymore. Just a friendly reminder; you need to learn to admit defeat and surrender when you are this weak. If you think you have the power to resist and fight back, I will be waiting here for you. For now, if you don’t want to die, get out of here! Relay what I said to the decision maker in the Tolemy Family!”

It was a slap in the face.

As soon as Inzagi finished speaking, a series of whooshing noises sounded as if it was resonating what Inzagi said.

The archers who were behind the front formations gasped as they felt like a gust of wind blew by. They were all pulling their bows, but the bowstrings that were made from tough yet elastic beast muscles were all cut in half like hairs. Close to 200 strong bows were turned to trash, but no one saw the people who did it.

This was too scary.

It was clear that their opponents didn’t want to kill anyone. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be bowstrings that were cut but their necks.

No one could defend against this!

Dillies shivered uncontrollably.

All his courage disappeared instantly. The fate of his family was now in his hands, and this pressure was suffocating him. His arrogant and powerful stance melted like snow on a hot summer day, and he had to lower his head under Inzagi’s glare. After he kicked the ground, his body turned into a dash of flames and disappeared in a flash.

“Retreat!”

Dillies’ voice sounded from afar.

More than 1,000 elite soldiers who came here in high spirits lost their morale. After hearing that command, they quickly moved and disappeared like the falling tide, leaving a bunch of messy footprints behind on the ground.

Danielle, who watched in amazement, had her understanding of the world around her flipped up-side-down.

“Philip defeated Dillies who is the no.1 master of Hot Spring Gate? And he won so easily?”

What surprised Danielle even more was that one of the ten main battle legions of Zenit, the [Rapid Wind Legion], retreated in panic after Inzagi said a few things.

“It looks like Dillies is really scared of the power behind Philip...... Could it be...... Could it be that Philip is really under the legendary King of Chambord? And he is valued a lot? What kind of a person is the King of Chambord really? He didn’t even show up here, but his name is enough to scare the Tolemy Family who had been at Hot Spring Gate for many years. Even Dillies who is a Six-Star Warrior doesn’t dare to do anything but to run away......”

Although Danielle heard of the King of Chambord from other mercenaries, she was still sad over the death of her close ones and focused her attention on training and taking care of these orphans. Therefore, she didn’t know much about the king.

At this moment, this pretty female warrior suddenly realized that she only heard of this name before but didn’t know anything else about him. She was curious as to who this legendary man was.

“Alright, Danielle, don’t just stand there. Go buy a few magic carriages in the city. After all this is over, let’s all go back to Chambord City. No one will bully kids there, and the kids could learn from the best teachers and instructors. If you want to, you can even study there as well!” Inzagi said as he handed a bag full of gold coins to Danielle who was still in shock. Then, he asked Owen and Raul to go with her to buy the carriages and clothes that they may need.

On the way, this female warrior couldn’t hold back her curiosity. She pulled the ears of these two young men who she hadn’t see for more than half a year, and she asked them about what happened to them after they got separated.

This was Danielle’s first time hearing their experiences, and she was glad that the five of them got so lucky.

“So, Philip is now the first disciple of the King of Chambord, one of the most powerful people in the empire. His identity is prestigious, and even the leader of the Tolemy Family would have to come out and greet him. No wonder Dillies didn’t dare to say anything back after Philip scolded him......” she thought.

This was the first time that Danielle had this much money, and she felt a thrill when she spent it while under protection.

After about two hours, they bought all the things that they might need on the way back to Chambord. Most of the stuff was bought by Owen and Raul since Danielle never even heard of the items that they purchased. After all, Danielle wasn’t experienced in planning long trips.

When everything was bought, they hired a few grooms and went back to the poor neighborhood. However, the entire neighborhood was surrounded by the elite soldiers of the [Rapid Wind Legion] again, and no one knew what was happening on the inside.

All the people who wanted to see what was going on were pushed away by the soldiers, and Danielle and the other two black knights were blocked as well.

“Stop! Leave, or you shall be killed!” a powerful military commander of the [Rapid Wind Legion] said to them as the soldiers protected him.
