Hail the King
Page 423Chapter 392: Nobles’ Fear
“Oh, gods! These are the real warriors!”
After seeing how the last Barbarian Warrior killed two powerful enemies and got killed at the same time, the commanders of Zenit on the defense wall sighed in admiration. The scene moved them, and they also felt sorry for the 15 brave warriors who got killed by the enemies who used their numbers advantage. If these 15 brave warriors were used more strategically, they could have done more damage to the enemies.
However, Fei’s mood didn’t change after these 15 Barbarian Warriors were killed.
He took out [Eagle of the Desert] and started to shoot again.
Under the defense wall, the warriors of Jax were killed one after another.
These warriors were all elite warriors from the Heaven-Killing Squad of Jax.
Although they were mixed in with the ordinary soldiers, Fei was still able to sense their locations; they were so clear in Fei’s eyes that he felt like they were torches in the dark. More than 30 warriors of Jax were killed in an instant. One of Prince Fairenton’s favorite commander Clark was killed first by Fei, and the other elite warriors in Heaven-Killing Squad started to back off after they sensed the apparent danger.
Although Fei had been through quite a lot and he learned a lot from his experience, he was still not as good at grasping the tempo and the opportunities during the war as the commanders besides him who had been through multiple wars. Therefore, Fei handed over the control of the soldiers to the commanders around him after the battle began, and he stayed under the watchtower on the west gate; he was responsible for killing powerful enemies and help the soldiers of Zenit who were in danger.
At the moment, the commanders of Zenit and the 30 Saint Seiyas all participated in the battle as well as they fought with the enemies in close range on this portion of the defense wall that was more than 1,000 meters long.
Fei didn’t really care about the death of the 15 Barbarian Warriors.
The fact that they died in this world didn’t mean that they actually died. If Fei wanted to, he could summon them again from Diablo World. Of course, there was a limit to this type of resurrection; that mysterious and cold voice told Fei that he could only summon the 15 Barbarian Warriors three times a day.
Therefore, Fei could still summon those warriors twice more today if he wanted to.
However, Fei didn’t do that.
The king suddenly felt like he figured out a way to better control these 15 Barbarian Warriors. He felt like he could give a lot of commands to these 15 Barbarian Warriors using his mind! As long as he thought about these commands in his head, the Barbarian Warriors would target the enemies he wanted them to focus. This would maximize the effectiveness of these Barbarian Warriors.
……
On the north side of the defense wall.
The soldiers of Jax were focusing more on the east and west side of the city as the only two gates of the city were there. Therefore, the pressure on the north and south side of the city was a lot lower. The soldiers of Jax and the soldiers of Zenit kept on shooting at each other with bows and arrows, and the few siege ladders couldn’t do much.
Inside a small structure on the north side of the defense wall, more than a dozen nobles who were wearing fancy armors and capes were gathering around and discussing something.
“That new No.1 Commander of the Battle Zone is a tough character! It is obvious that he is hostile towards us!”
“Humph! He is only the king of a little affiliated kingdom! He is only getting favored by the empire for now, and he dares to play with us? Would the Military Headquarter and Imperial Knight Palace let him do whatever he wants?”
“Imperial Knight Palace? Haha, he defeated five out of the ten Executive Knights, and the No.1 Executive Knight seemed to have an appreciation towards the king of Chambord and wants to protect him. What can Imperial Knight Palace do to him?”
“Yeah! Since the Military Headquarter named him the No.1 Commander of the Battle Zone, it said enough about their intents.”
“You mean…… the empire is trying to clean us out?”
All the nobles no longer looking arrogant and bossy. With fear on their minds, they talked to each other and weren’t able to come to a conclusion.
Before, they were able to do whatever they wanted in the city because they were in a very remote region; they didn’t think that the emperor and the laws of Zenit could get to them. But since the appearance of the king of Chambord, they felt like their luck had come to an end. The king of Chambord was like a huge mountain that pressed them down, and they would still shiver in fear after thinking back to what the king of Chambord did today.
“Shut up!” perhaps he was annoyed, a fatty who was sitting down in front of the only table inside the building shouted and slapped the table.
All the nobles closed their mouths, and they looked at this fatty in silence.
This fatty was in his 40s, and his huge body sat on the chair like a meat mountain. It looked like his huge body was going to crack the XL silver armor he was wearing, and the fat on his face and chin drooped down and made him look like an ugly pug. It looked like his eyes and mouth were going to disappear into the fat.
Before Fei’s arrival, he was the ruler of the city.
But it all changed now.
Soroyov was really annoyed by all the chatters around him, and he stopped the discussion that has already dragged on for about 30 minutes. When all the nobles looked at him with curious eyes, Soroyov still couldn’t come up with an answer.
This was the first time he faced such issues.
After testing this new No.1 Commander twice, he clearly sensed the hidden danger; he sensed the murderous intent! He felt like he was a sheep that was targeted by a huge wolf! If he did anything wrong, he would be torn into pieces.
“When was the last time I sensed something like this?”
Soroyov felt powerless facing an opponent like the king of Chambord who did things differently.
Real powerful and influential figures were the rulers of the land. The king of Chambord was also a level 2 noble of Zenit, he had the title of the No.1 Commander of Jax Battle Zone, and he was so strong that he was able to face tens of thousands of enemies calmly. Soroyov who was only a Two-Star Warrior couldn’t fight against Fei in any of these categories.
He felt very powerless at the moment.
Like a pig in a slaughterhouse, any kinds of struggle were useless. He could only beg for forgiveness or wait for the blade to pierce through his body.
However, he wasn’t willing to give up on everything.
“I need to listen to the king of Chambord’s orders! If I make that crazy bastard mad, the consequence is severe. I need to fool him with my attitude…… when the opportunity arrives, hehe…… anything can happen!” Soroyov said, “Everyone, we didn’t get to where we are at through fighting. We need to be patient; I believe our opportunity will arrive.”
Soroyov was like the leader among the nobles – of course, he gained his status through cruelness and viciousness. Therefore, all the nobles in the building had to nod and agree after the mayor made the decision.
“Mr. Mayor, Carl, Adam, Miller, and a dozen other nobles didn’t follow the king of Chambord’s order and didn’t come. Should I go send some people to remind them?” a nobleman in his 40s thought of something and asked.
At this moment, loud cheers sounded from the outside.
“The soldiers of Jax are backing away!!”
“Haha! Fu*k off! Go back to your mama and suck on her t*tties for milk!”
“Haha! These bastards are scared!”
The cheering of the soldiers of Zenit sounded, and the battling noises quieted down. The rapid bugle noises and the drumming noises declared the end of the battle.
“Eh? The enemies backed off? Let’s go out and take a look.”
The way Soroyov walked made him look like a bouncy ball, but none of the nobles behind him dared to laugh out loud.
The nobles hid behind the battlements and peeked out, and they saw the soldiers of Jax backing away and leaving a lot of corpses on the ground.
“Finally……” all the nobles sighed in relief. Although they were hiding in a building that was tightly guarded, they were still terrified!
Tink!
Soroyov drew out his sword and chopped one of the enemy corpses in half. He stained his armor with the blood, and he told his guards to stain their armors with blood as well. After he cut open his armor and left some marks, he was still not reassured. He bit his teeth and lightly cut open a few wounds on his arms and legs.
