Hail the King

Chapter 407: Similar to Angela

Fei was able to see how mighty the legendary [Dragon Fist] was.

That strike was enough to shock the gods and scare the demons.

At that critical moment when everyone thought Emperor Yassin was the brink of death, he punched out in the Royal Palace that was quite far away from the Martial Saint Mountain, and the golden flames covered the sky and destroyed the three Moon-Class Elites who were on Griffins 5,000 meters up in the air.

That strike was the most powerful strike Fei had ever seen on this continent.

Compared to Emperor Yassin, a lot of Moon-Class Elites were too weak. Comparing them with Emperor Yassin was like comparing fireflies to the sun.

Today, Fei sensed the residual power of that strike again.

However, there were some differences. Compared to the aura of the [Dragon Fist] he experienced in St. Petersburg, this one was much more lively and energetic; it felt like a sun that was on the rise. Although the one he experienced in St. Petersburg was still powerful, it felt like a sun that was setting and aging.

The two different auras seemed to prove people’s hypothesis – Emperor Yassin was really about to pass away.

Fei didn’t know how to feel about that.

……

When Emperor Yassin used his supreme power and created more than 100 water wells here, he concentrated all the residual energies and made them into Fist Spatial Spiritual Seals; otherwise, this place might a restricted zone. If those residual energies were not controlled, even Moon-Class Elites couldn’t get close to this place, let alone civilians.

After Fei visited this place, he wandered towards other locations.

Although the king of Chambord’s name was already well known in the city, not a lot of people knew what he looked like. As Fei walked around, no one recognized that this young man who was wearing a blue robe was King Alexander who terrified the nobles in the city.

Fei asked for directions and proceeded towards the farmlands at the northeast region of the city.

The defense walls of Dual-Flags City were empowered by many magic arrays when the city was built, and they were strong enough to handle the 10,000-pound rocks that were shot out of catapults. There were also numerous magic arrays on the ground in front of the defense walls that could block the damage of low-level magic spells. With the strong defense walls like these, 70,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians could defend the city and prolong the war for at least three years as long as there were enough water and food.

Therefore, after Fei checked up on the water sources, he had to inspect the farmlands.

Since Dual-Flags City was located in the desert, 90% of the farmlands could be found inside the city; they needed to be irrigated by the water from the water wells. These farmlands inside the city weren’t destroyed in the war yet, and Fei ordered some of the soldiers to strengthen the protection of these farmlands.

The farmlands occupied a massive area in the northeast.

After more than 20 years of cultivation and irrigation, these farmlands were very fertile. Fei was always curious as to how the crops could survive from the vast temperature difference in the region, and he finally understood the mechanisms behind it when he saw the farmlands.

Between the farmlands, there were huge rocks with magic arrays engraved on them.

These all simple three-pointed star magic arrays with 21 magic pathing, and they were modified by someone who had a deep understanding of magic. The only job for these magic arrays was to add some heat to the surroundings when the night arrives so the crops won’t freeze to death.

The desert didn’t lack sunshine, and the crops in Dual-Flags City had higher quality compared with the crops in the mainland.

There was a total of 400 rocks that had these magic arrays on them in these farmlands, and each of them only required one piece of low-tier Magic Gem to last the whole year…… Fei had to admit that some of the products and designs using magic were more effective and more ingenious compared with the technologies in his previous life.

Fei had to thank the officials in Zenit who had paid a lot of attention to these precious farmlands.

It was heard that the Executive Knights would come and visit every year, and that was why Soroyov and the nobles haven’t destroyed most of the farmlands and built amusement parks.

Fei felt great after seeing all the green crops that were thriving.

If everything went according to plan, these crops would be ready for harvest in May, and that would be enough food for everyone in the city for a whole year.

The king suddenly felt like Emperor Yassin had already foreseen what was about to happen when he was building this city. He created all these water wells and farmlands, and these served as a line of defense on the border.

……

On the way back, Fei was walking relatively slow and enjoying the rare relaxed atmosphere in the city. The chanting of the merchants who were selling small items on the street, the laughter of children who were playing, the sounds of women who were busy making dinner, and the noises made by the dogs and cats that were running around by the white buildings and colossal warrior statues…… all these made Fei feel very relaxed.

“Huh? Is it you?” a surprised voice sounded behind him.

Fei turned around and saw Emile Husky who had a bag of flour on his shoulder; this simple-minded low-level commander was looking at him with a big surprised smile.

“What a coincident! Emile, you are……” Fei smiled and asked this man who was sweating a ton.

“Hehe, the military had paid me the salary that I was owed for the last three months, and I bought a bag of winter wheat flour for my little sister……” the big man scratched his head and laughed. After he looked around and made sure that no one was close by, he got close to Fei and whispered, “Hey, the military is busy right now! Where did you find the time to wander around aimlessly? If your superior finds out about this, you will be in trouble! I heard that the new No.1 Commander King Alexander is very strict! The mayor and the nobles are all dominated by him, and a lot of nobles are killed! You are only a little commander, don’t get punished because you are slacking off!”

Fei found it funny. He smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I already got the permission of my superior.”

“Good, good. Alright, come with me to my sister’s place then. Haha! I just bought some flour, and my sister is going to make some honey bread; I can eat at least 40 pieces!” Husky was very friendly, and he asked Fei to be his guest immediately.

Since it was still quite early, Fei didn’t reject the offer.

He followed this simple-minded commander along the fancy streets for a while, and the buildings along the sides of the road started to decrease in number. After another 20 minutes, they finally arrived at a simple courtyard that was fenced off by some bamboo sticks.

This was a typical courtyard.

A white female sheep was lying on the ground, two baby sheep were playing with each other, and a few hens were cackling as they were eating a few plants.

There were two small houses made from green stones, and the roofs were made from straws. Some dried meats were hanging from the walls, and two cats that wanted to eat these meats wandered around them……

“Hey, Jessica! I’m back! Sister, I got a guest here!” Emile pushed open the gate to the courtyard and shouted; he was so loud that it sounded like thunder.

Fei smiled; this Husky was quite funny.

Crack! The wooden door of a house opened, and Fei’s eyes lit up.

A girl who was wearing a rough brown jacket that had many patches on it and a blue floral headscarf walked out of the house.

This girl looked like she was 18 years old, and she was quite pretty. Although her body was still young and immature, her figure was perfect. She was about 1.7 meters tall, and her legs were longer than other girls; that made her look much more elegant. Her eyebrows were thin and sharp, and her perfect crystal-like black eyes were flashy and attractive.

For some reason, Fei felt like he had seen this girl before.

He was shocked by her appearance.

He didn’t expect a tough and simple-minded guy like Husky to have such a pretty sister. Soon, he realized that the reason he felt like Jessica was familiar was that her eyes and her aura were too similar to Angela’s. If he closed his eyes, he could have thought that his fiancée was standing in front of him.

“Ah, Emile, you are back?” the girl rushed over with a bright smile on her face. She grabbed onto her brother’s hands and laughed, “Haha! Did you bring flour? Such a big bag! I can make enough honey bread to feed a cow like you!”

“Hey, how can you call you brother a cow?” Husky murmured as he put the bag of flour on the ground. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Jessica, did those bastards like Arno and Knite come and bother you?”
