Hail the King
Page 340Chapter 309: A Dangerous Opponent
Thunder-like applauses and cheers sounded around the stage.
Some of the traveling warriors were somehow touched by this. When they saw how Robbin, who was a powerful warrior, got pushed around by the fat idiot king of Tudor, they felt a sadness; they felt like they saw their own fates. They had the warrior strength, but they couldn’t get the proper social status. In order to survive, they had to dance between blades and step between life and death. However, the fat and lazy nobles who couldn’t even pick up a blade were able to enjoy everything. Many people sighed as they thought that life was unfair.
But after seeing Robbin getting admired by a powerful king like the king of Chambord, these warriors felt like they were validated by the king of Chambord as well. Even the lowest people had some dignities that they were willing to use their lives to protect. At this moment, the dignities in their hearts were indirectly honored by the king of Chambord.
The king of Chambord wasn’t just a normal king; he was a super powerful king who had a limitless future.
Only getting validated by such a man would make the low-level grassroots warriors who had to serve idiot-like nobles to survive feel touched.
“Aryang, go pack your belongings. Afterward, bring your father to my campsite to see me.” Fei patted Robbin’s shoulder before he turned around to the king of Tudor who was really embarrassed and didn’t know what to do. “You are now one of my generals. Let me know if anyone dares to mess with you.” Fei said that to Robbin, but everyone knew that he was saying that to the king of Tudor.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah…… Congratulations, Mr. Robbin. Wait, no…… General Robbin is now under the king of Chambord. I will prepare the carriages so you can get to Chambord’s campsite easier……” Although the king of Tudor was not a good king, he knew what he needed to do in a situation like this. He understood the threat in Fei’s word, so he quickly guaranteed to make Robbin’s trip smoother. The “dumbass” was now “General Robbin” in his mind, and his tone was very sincere.
Everyone knew that the warrior with the wind-elemental warrior energy was going to become someone important. A lot of people looked at Robbin with envious and jealous expressions. The king of Chambord was known for his shielding of the shortcomings and mistakes of his men. From now on, even the kings of level 1 affiliated kingdoms and normal nobles had to address Robbin by called him – General Robbin.
It was like winning a lottery.
“Thank you, your majesty. I swear loyalty to your majesty for the rest of my life.” Robbin couldn’t believe what had just happened. As if he was dreaming, the goddess of fortune reached out to him when he thought he was about to die.
Robbin was about to single-kneel on the ground again as he said that.
Fei laughed as he waved his hand. An invisible force held Robbin up before he kneeled down. Then, Fei held onto Inzagi and disappeared.
Robbin felt like he was still in a dream as he heard the cheers and applause.
“Gen…… General Robbin. Are you going back to pack your belongings? I already sent someone to notify your father. I’m sure he would be happy for you……”
A flattering voice sounded.
Robbin turned around and saw the fat king of Tudor carefully walking towards him. After seeing the flattering expression on the king’s face now and thinking back to the arrogant and mocking expression on this king’s face a moment ago, Robbin left the stage without saying a word back.
……
……
Inzagi was seriously injured.
Although the wounds were almost all recovered under the effect of the [Health Potion], he was depleted of spiritual energy and mental power from that battle. He had lost his conscious for the moment being, and the damage that was causing was more severe the injuries on his body.
After the initial inspection and treatments, Cech and Oleg carried Inzagi back to his tent to rest. The four orphans from Hot Spring Gate also followed Inzagi back to the tent anxiously.
Out of everyone from that tight family in Hot Spring Gate, only the five of them survived. They could only rely on each other for warmth, and they needed each other to avenge for their loved ones.
Fei and others stayed around the stages for other matches.
Everyone who Matt Razi stated was a powerful candidate for the number one warrior title in the booklet got Fei’s attention. Fei wasn’t worried about the future matches. Rather, Robbin’s incident gave him an idea. He realized that this was a great place to discover and recruit talent.
In the last while, warriors of Chambord such as Cech and Lampard all received invitations and recruitment letters from all kinds of superpowers. This made Fei understand that this competition was a great opportunity to “rob“ talent from others.
Soon, the news about Chambord’s first loss got around the entire camp area. All of the noble families and superpowers heard the news as well.
Although it was only a small loss, it was really significant.
In all the stories told by the traveling poets, the king of Chambord and his warriors were painted into invincible legends. But after [Deadly Assassin of Shadow] lost the match today, the invincible legends of Chambord were cracked a little. People started to speculate about Chambord’s future.
Rumors were powerful. Everything seemed to have been flipped around.
“Did you hear that? Chambord lost a fight?”
“You heard about it too? Yeah…… after all, a level 6 affiliated kingdom doesn’t have too much accumulation. Maybe this loss is the prologue of the downfall of Chambord.”
“Hahaha, it is normal for them to lose. The so-called legend was created by men. Only the king of Chambord was a master warrior, and the rest of his warriors were all exaggerated. [Desperation Creator]? [Destructive Finger]? Bullsh*t!”
“Did you know? The legends of Chambord are fake! I heard that the king of Chambord would threat the opponents of his warriors and force them to surrender to his warriors……”
Many people were talking about this. When Fei and his men walked around them, the people would close their mouths and stop talking. But when Fei and his men walked away, they would start talking and pointing at the Chambordians. Pierce and Drogba were extremely mad, but they couldn’t do anything to the bystanders.
Fei’s expression was really calm.
Although Inzagi’s lose had some negative effect, it wasn’t negative to this degree. If Fei was correct, there was a force or multiple forces behind all these rumors. The king didn’t want to waste time on investigating them. He was sure that they were from the same forces as the ones who tried to frame Chambord by using the treasures of Blood-Edge.
Huerk and Kanort from the Gudong Kingdom were really strong. Their weapons were sticks, and their techniques weren’t delicate. However, due to their pure impressive physical strength, their strikes were extremely powerful. Fei even suspected that they were level 50 Barbarians from Diablo World.
The both of them defeated their opponents using pure strength.
[Bloody Dual Blades] was still someone who was ruthless. After every battle, a new skeleton would appear on the stage. His lightning-fast blades technique didn’t just leave his opponents terrified; anyone who watched his matches all had nightmares. It was heard that more than a dozen people died because they were terrified by what they saw. This man was the cruelest one in this competition, and many people tried to disqualify him by reporting on him. However, he was acting within the rules of the competition, and fairness needed to be kept.
Many people hoped that this man would encounter more powerful warriors like [Sky Covering Fist], [One Sword], and [Goddess of Archery] so he would lose.
Fei didn’t watch every single battle, but he knew about the outcomes after hearing the chatters among the crowd. People like [One Sword], [Silver Armored Vicious Sword], and Princess Cindy all won their matches.
As time passed, most of the first-round battles were all completed.
“Look, [Goddess of Archery] Elena from Chambord is going to be on……”
“Ah? That beauty who won the previous three matches using only three arrows? She is a master from Chambord.”
“[Deadly Assassin of Shadow] already lost. I think [Goddess of Archery] is in danger!”
“Bullsh*t! [Goddess of Archery] is only a character painted by the king of Chambord. I’m sure that this woman would lose for sure…… Her opponent is one of the [Two Hiddens] who are just less powerful than [One Sword]; he is [Mad Hidden] Bowyer……”
“Ah? Bowyer? She sure is in danger……”
People started to murmur to each other. Chambord’s last battle in the first-round matches was about to take place on No. 1 Sword-Testing Stage. Beauty always attracted attention. Although a lot of people already guessed the outcome of this battle, they all wanted to see [Goddess of Archery]’s beauty.
