Hail the King

Chapter 696: The Meeting of Old Acquaintances

Seeing this mythical and legendary level battle, the people on the Xuan’ge and in Chambord City were all stunned.

Inside the hotels and various temporary residences, the envoys and guests from nearby empires and kingdoms looked at the huge Xuan’ge in the air and insane battle, and they couldn’t hold back their shock.

"Who is this person? This person can pressure the King of Chambord, who is a powerful warrior, to this degree?"

At this moment, the envoy group from Zenit hadn’t left Chambord City yet. As Second Prince Dominguez leaped into the air and sat onto his white horse, he lifted the mask on his helmet and looked up. The shiny sword energies in the sky lit up his handsome face and his shiver magic armor.

If one paid more attention to him, they would see that this prince of Zenit who was always calm and collected had a concerned expression on his face.

"Is the situation this terrible? The enemies can move on the territory of the empire this freely?"

Dominguez lowered his head and sighed.

However, he quickly thought of something, and his expression turned more upbeat. He whipped his horse and dashed toward the gate of the city. He shouted, "Everyone, follow up! We need to leave here by tonight and reach St. Petersburg by tomorrow morning! This is an urgent command!"

"Your Highness, we need to be careful. The situation is already this chaotic, and even Chambord is involved in the war. Wouldn’t it be better for us to leave once the King of Chambord finishes this battle?" Someone suggested in the group.

"We need to leave right now! Anyone who goes against my order shall be executed on the spot! Even if I have to die, I will die in the Capital."

As soon as he finished that, Dominguez dashed forward on his horse and disappeared into the darkness.

[Demonic Woman] Paris and [Red Beard] Granello looked at each other and saw the worry in each other’s eyes. They smiled bitterly, and Granello shouted, "Everyone, follow up! We need to protect His Highness!"

A series of thunderous clip-clop noises sounded, and more than 20 elite cavaliers immediately followed up with Dominguez. Then, the team moved to the defense wall of Chambord City and was prepared to leave, travel across the river, and join the rest of the envoy group that was residing on the other side of the river.

"[One Sword]! You b*stard! Get the f*ck out here! You traitor!"

Standing in mid-air, Fei suddenly roared at the Xuan’ge with the war hammer in one of his hands.

His loud voice resonated in the sky.

"Long time no see, King Alexander!" A thin figure appeared at the front of the Xuan’ge.

This man was wearing a set of fancy black and yellow armor, and there seemed to be a cloud of terrifying magic power on it. The double-hand sword on his back was wide, and it looked shiny like a crystal. When watching from afar, it seemed like he was carrying a dash of starlight.

He wasn’t too tall nor too short, and his long brown hair was fluttering in the wind. There seemed to be redness flashing in his eyes, and it looked terrifying. It seemed like he was an ancient beast that was about to devour humans at any second.

Even though his outfit choices changed a lot, and his facial features were slightly altered, Fei could still tell that this man who suddenly appeared was [One Sword], the former No.1 Master amongst the affiliated kingdoms of Zenit and a strong candidate during the compet.i.tion at St. Petersburg several months ago.

"It is really you! This is disappointing!" Fei observed him carefully and said with a disappointed expression on his face.

When Fei first saw that dash of sword energy about ten minutes ago, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

At that time, he couldn’t be sure.

Although the trajectory of the sword energy and the technique used were similar to [One Sword]’s, the sword spirit and energy were completely different.; the sword energy and aura were demonic, and [One Sword]’s old aura was filled with loneliness and desolation.

However, through the quick battle that just happened, Fei confirmed that this mysterious master was [One Sword].

This discovery indeed disappointed Fei.

Although [One Sword] stood on the opposite side of the king, he was powerful and proud, upholding the pride and dignity of a true warrior and swordsman. He was a talented genius, and Fei respected him for that for a while.

However, in just like less than half a year, [One Sword] ditched the honor and dignity of a warrior. He didn’t just ditch and betray the Zenit Empire that raised him; he even went under the Ormond Empire and led the attack against Zenit with a Xuan’ge...

Even though Fei didn’t know what happened in between, the fact that [One Sword] betrayed his home empire was disappointing and sad.

"Disappointment? Haha! Why? Isn’t my sword sharp enough?"

As if he was angered by the disdain and mockery on Fei’s face, [One Sword] got mad for a second before laughing out loud arrogantly, "Hahaha! King of Chambord, what do you know? Now, I’m no longer that loser who was suppressed by you! I’m already a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord, and I’m currently a legion commander of the Ormond Empire, which is a level 7 empire! I have many masters under my command, and numerous soldiers take my orders. Hahaha! I’m of prestigious status now! Right now, you are only a relatively strong dirty native! It doesn’t matter if it is in terms of influence or individual strength, you are no longer my match! How are you qualified to say that?"

"Dirty native?" Fei shook his head with a pitiful expression. He immediately thought of something and asked, "It looks like you have completely lost your mind and forgotten your roots. A war suddenly broke out, and Zenit is on the verge of collapse. The Leon Empire and the Ormond Empire came at striking speed and suddenly attacked, and their soldiers crushed through everything and got to St. Petersburg without push back. It seems like this is all to your credit, right?"

"Huh? You know about that already?" [One Sword] was slightly surprised, and then he started to laugh arrogantly again, "Hahaha! Great! Zenit is on the verge of collapse, and St. Petersburg might be even conquered now! Hahaha! A sea of blood already formed, and the Royal Family of Zenit is going to be crushed in a second. King of Chambord, if you kneel and beg me, I will let you live and promote you to a team commander in my [Swordsmen Legion]. Haha, being the commander of more than 100 people at a level 7 empire is much better than being the king of a little affiliated kingdom. Hahaha! What do you say?"

"You are the person who doesn’t know anything," Fei said that as he shook his head; he was too tired of saying more.

In less than half a year, [One Sword] was no longer the same person.

He no longer had that pride, and he was no longer a desolate and lonely sword genius. Instead, he turned into an arrogant and conceited demon. Dark-red flames flashed in his eyes, and it felt like he had turned into an ancient beast that was blood-thirsty. He was no longer calm and thoughtful; instead, he became easily triggered.

He ditched his rusty sword and replaced it with a fancy broadsword, threw away the rough robe and changed to fancy armor. If it weren’t for his face which looked 80% like his former self, he felt completely different in terms of temperament and aura.

At this moment, an ear-piercing voice sounded from the command center on the Xuan’ge, and this person seemed impatient.

"General [One Sword], why are you still wasting time with this dirty native. Quickly kill him! Didn’t you tell me that there is a rare beauty at Chambord named Angela? I couldn’t wait! Kill all the Chambordians and get your revenge! I just need that beauty! Haha!"

"Prince Xanchua Your Highness, don’t worry. That woman named Angela is all yours!" [One Sword] turned around and replied respectfully. Then, he turned back and laughed at Fei provocatively.

However, who knew that Fei didn’t get mad as he expected. Instead, the King of Chambord looked calm and sympathetic. He said slowly, "Come on, let’s do it! You pitiful and despicable traitor! Let me, your former opponent, destroy your pitiful pride, and help your fallen soul to be free. Rest in peace!"

As Fei said that, he looked up, and murderous spirit dashed out of his eyes.
