Hail the King

Chapter 731 - Money from War

Chapter 731: Money from War (Part One)

Gundogan’s heart started to sink.

In the beginning, he still thought about recruiting this young Sun-Class Lord in front of him.

From his perspective, it was almost a miracle that such a young and talented Sun-Class Lord could appear in a little level 1 empire. He was clear that the long black-haired young man had a unique talent. Compared with the princes and princesses of the super powerful empires where they had access to the best resources, powerful techniques, top-tier masters, and talented peers, the powerful people who grew up in the small empires where they had to rely on themselves were much more admirable and terrifying.

If he could get such a talented young man under his command, Gundogan felt like it was a bigger reward than conquering the Zenit Empire.

That was why Gundogan showcased rare tolerance and kindness in the beginning, and he tried to stop the war proactively. In fact, he even expressed his intention of allying with the Zenit Empire and overlooking the death of his little brother, Xanchua, even though the latter died at Chambord’s hands.

To him who was born into the Royal Family of Ormond, the death of his little brother who might be a big competition in the future wasn’t a bad thing. In fact, it might even be good news!

If he could get a strong subordinate in this process, this trip would be worth it!

Unfortunately, the king was a ‘vicious’ being, and he didn’t fall for that.

A series of fearless killings made it clear to Gundogan that he had underestimated his opponent.

Why would a talented genius be willing to serve someone else?

The anger, frustration, and the sense of defeat calmed down Gundogan.

He started to think about what was going to happen from this point on.

Right now, all the Moon-Class Elites of Ormond who came with him had been killed, and the campsites of Ormond were like lions that got their limbs and teeth taken out, not able to pose a threat to the enemies anymore.

Even though he was angry, he couldn’t vent it.

This strange, transparent energy sphere locked him up, and he couldn’t believe that he, a Sun-Class Lord, couldn’t break it.

“What kind of scroll was that? How is this energy sphere created? How come it has such magical power? Was it a godly scroll?” he thought.

Gundogan started to worry that the crazy young man in front of him was going to kill him for real.

He had never sensed death this up-close before.

However, Fei was in no hurry to kill Gundogan after the Moon-Class Elites were taken care of.

He instantly dashed into this giant Xuan’ge without asking more questions.

In less than five minutes, this giant Xuan’ge that was on par with the Xuan’ge that Xanchua used had the same fate as the other smaller Xuan’ge. It lost its power and slowly descended without having the chance to self-detonate.

Gundogan was stunned! He couldn’t believe his eyes!

Fei’s performance shocked him once more!

Xuan’ge was the top-tier secret among all confidential information in the Ormond Empire, and it could be said that Xuan’ge was the most important treasure of the Ormond Empire.

The top-tier mages and academics carefully refined the magic systems in them, and they had been put through rigorous testing and real-life combat. The amount of energy, effort, and resources that went into each of the giant Xuan’ge could construct ten main battle legions.

Although the Xuan’ge weren’t indestructible, it wasn’t easy to be destroyed by others.

However, the power system and the other mechanisms on this Xuan’ge was destroyed easily by this young Zenitian, and his speed was stunning!

Gundogan didn’t know how he could describe his opponent.

“How can a dirty native have so many secrets?” he thought, “Is this young man really just a dirty native?”

In fact, he didn’t know that the Chambord Kingdom and successfully captured that Xuan’ge which was used by Xanchua, and the two mad scientists who had more knowledge and ability than almost everyone on the Azeroth Continent were breaking it down.

When Fei first captured the Xuan’ge, Akara and Cain rushed into the Xuan’ge and started to study and research as if they were kids who got their favorite toys. They began learning the structure and the magic principles that drove this giant aircraft.

With the help of the spirit energy that could go anywhere and the explanations of those two mad scientists, Fei got a very clear understanding of Xuan’ge overall.

The confidential and complicated magic systems on the Xuan’ge were nothing in Fei’s eyes, and he could destroy the key array formations on the Xuan’ge in a few seconds.

He easily disarmed the self-detonation arrays on the Xuan’ge, and he inputted the counter magic systems that the two mad scientists created into the Xuan’ge, instantly making the Ormondians lose control of them.

Right now, the Xuan’ge at Chambord was being refined and upgraded by those two mad scientists.

Even though the ironwood produced in the Ormond Empire was as hard as iron, even the real iron and steel were nothing in front of peak Moon-Class Elites and Sun-Class Lords. In addition, the flying speed of the Xuan’ge wasn’t that fast, and the weapons on it were limited. Except for the two giant magic cannons located at the front and the back, the other smaller magic cannons on the sides of the Xuan’ge had limited power. They were enough for small battles in the sky, but they couldn’t unleash destructive strikes onto the ground continuously. After all, the giant magic cannons at the front and the back of the Xuan’ge were hard to move, slow at charging, and couldn’t attack frequently.

These were all the critical issues with the Xuan’ge after it went through a fierce battle at Chambord.

Now that the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory comprehended some of the ancient godly runes and had access to the encyclopedia of the Mythical Era, [Demon King’s Wisdom], it wasn’t too difficult to upgrade the Xuan’ge.

In not too long, that giant Xuan’ge which Chambord captured was going to become a real ruler of the sky! Even Sun-Class Lords might have to back off from it after it was upgraded.

With the support of the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory, Fei’s appetite grew drastically.

The six Xuan’ge here today were all on Fei’s mind; he was going to take them as his spoils of war no matter what!

If he could get them all, then the Chambord Kingdom would have a fleet of invincible aircraft after the upgrade. In a sense, the future aircraft of Chambord might not be inferior to the other aircraft fleets of top-tier level 9 empires in this world.

Therefore, Fei ignored Gundogan completely. Only the things in his control were his; all other things like peace treaty and alliance status were all nothing tangible.

Those were things that the Royal Family of Zenit should consider, but it wasn’t related to the king of an affiliated kingdom. Therefore, Fei decided to dump all that onto Emperor Yassin.

In less than two minutes, the last small Xuan’ge was powered off by Fei, and all the magic systems were shut down. As the huge leather parachutes flew out and other physical mechanisms activated, the Xuan’ge descended onto the ground without any big damage.

-On the ground-

Crown Prince Arshavin was indeed Zenit’s God of War.

After breaking the formations of the Leon Empire with his [Iron Blood Legion], he led his men and charged into the campsites of the Ormond Empire. Since Fei killed the masters of Ormond, and they suffered casualties from previous battles, the less than 10,000 soldiers of Ormond lost their morale and got surrounded easily.

With a powerful master like Fei in the sky, these defeated soldiers of Ormond couldn’t do much.

Arshavin was a hardcore commander. The murderous and ruthless attitude that he used against Fei was being used against these soldiers.

He ordered his men to unarm and undress all the enemies, and the soldiers of Ormond were imprisoned right away. Although he didn’t kill or torture these defeated soldiers, his attitude was still chilling.

What happened today made Fei’s impression of Arshavin improve.

Although there was a conflict between the Chambord Kingdom and Zenit’s God of War, it didn’t hinder the coordination between Fei and Arshavin.

The king did admire Arshavin’s sharp military instinct, and the Crown Prince of Zenit was able to capture the key moment in the battle and turn the losing situation around!

He brought victory to Zenit and didn’t surrender and beg for mercy.

“You will pay for what you did!” Gundogan gritted his teeth and cursed inside the transparent energy sphere.

Fei glanced at him and didn’t mind.

With a smile on his face, he started a countdown.
