Hail the King
Page 462Chapter 431: Arrogance
Far away on a sand hill where it was protected by tens of thousands of soldiers of Jax, there stood the commanding flag of the troops.
Not sure when, but the person standing directly below it wasn’t Fairenton; instead, it was someone who Fei never met before.
This person wasn’t tall nor short, and he wasn’t fat nor thin. He was wearing a red robe and standing there quietly as he observed the battle. However, it seemed like there was a thin layer of fog around him as no one could clearly see his face. As his robe flattered in the wind and made a series of flapping sound, it gave people the feeling that he was really close yet really far; it seemed like the law of space didn’t work on him. The high-level commanders who were closer to him tried their best trying to remember this man. But it doesn’t matter how hard they tried, they would forget about him entirely in the next second.
Fairenton was also not standing right behind this man.
Two young men were standing behind this man; they were wearing red robes as well. The older one looked like he was around 28 years old. He had all the features of the people of Jax; he had a big beard, long curly hair, and high cheekbone. His eyes were sharp, and energetic lights flashed in his eyes.
This man felt like a sharp blade that was being kept in a sheath as he was powerful yet reserved. The younger one out of the two looked like he was about 20 years old. He was a lot taller and bigger than ordinary people of Jax. He had blonde hair, green eyes, and white skin. Although he looked somewhat handsome, he appeared gloomy and aggressive.
These three men were standing below the commanding flag, replacing Fairenton.
Fairenton was now standing behind them respectfully as surprise and joy appeared on his face. However, there were deeper and more complex emotions that were well hidden in his eyes.
“I didn’t expect there to be so many masters in Dual-Flags City,” that young man with the beard and the curly hair looked at the four warriors of Chambord who stopped his two Junior Brothers and said with a surprised tone, “No wonder you and the 60,000 soldiers are stopped here for more than five days.”
“Senior Brother Modoc, the most powerful warrior on their side, King Alexander, hasn’t shown himself yet,” Fairenton said respectfully as he looked at this man with admiration. If Fei was here, he would know that Fairenton was referring to this man that day.
“Huh! King Alexander? What a joke! I can kill him easily with only one of my fingers! Junior Brother Fairenton, you are being stopped by these trashes? You are putting shame onto our Big Snow Mountain,” the other young man who looked a bit gloomy laughed, but his tone was arrogant and was filled with disdain.
As soon as he said that, the commanders of Jax around Fairenton got angry immediately.
However, Fairenton didn’t get mad. He waved and stopped his generals from shouting. Then, with a smile on his face, he said, “King Alexander is a powerful warrior. Senior Brother Tony, although you are one of the few geniuses in our Big Snow Mountain, you might not be able to defeat the King of Chambord!”
After he said that, he disappeared from where he was standing.
……
……
Outside Dual-Flags City, the ten warriors were still battling viciously.
“[Scarlet Needles]! – Seventh Needle!”
As the wind blew by him, Cech stopped moving his feet and pointed out with one of his fingers.
At that moment, it seemed like the spatial and temporal sensation got twisted. The metal pieces that protected Cech’s finger extended outward and struck the shoulder of the Nine-Star Warrior he was fighting with like the tail of a scorpion.
“Sh*t!” that warrior’s face changed color as his body shivered.
The insane amount of pain caused his facial muscles to twitch uncontrollably, and his body was then numbed. He even felt like his Warrior Energy couldn’t travel inside his body correctly.
Before this, he was struck six times.
Every single time he got hit, the pain increased.
He could even sense that his body’s condition was worsening; he felt like he had aged for many years in just a few minutes.
“This warrior’s technique is evil and vicious! He is only a Six-Star Warrior, but I couldn’t dodge his strikes,” this Nine-Star Warrior thought to himself.
White-haired Pierce laughed as he rushed forward; his strong figure left a series of afterimages in the air, and an invisible yet sharp sword energy struck at this Nine-Star Warrior’s throat as he swung his right arm.
“Fu*k off!” that Nine-Star Warrior roared and unleashed more of his Nine-Star Warrior Energy. He forced all the negative sensations such as pain and numbness away from his body, and he struck out with his fists immediately.
Boom!
Pierce was instantly knocked away, and blood dripped down from his lips.
However, that was all the injury he suffered. His Star Saint Set already canceled out 40% of the damage, and his muscular body that got strengthened by the [Hulk Potion] and the wind-elemental Five-Star Warrior Energy took care of the rest.
When he was knocked away, his sword energy still hit the enemy. Although it didn’t hit vital spots like the throat, it did chop onto the enemy’s shoulder. Under the empowerment of the Star Energy, the sharp Excalibur broke through the Warrior Energy Shield of this Nine-Star Warrior and left a deep and shocking wound; that man’s arm almost got chopped off.
“[Scarlet Needles] …… Eighth Needle!”
Cech and Pierce’s coordination was almost perfect! As Pierce was knocked away, Cech immediately attacked and stopped this Nine-Star Warrior from chasing after Pierce.
……
On the other side, Torres and Drogba were having a tougher time.
“[Gigantic Long Horn]!”
Drogba roared as he puked up a mouthful of blood.
Like a crazy meteor, he continued to throw his body towards his enemy. Even though he was already knocked away by the Nine-Star Warrior multiple times, he was still going at him as if he wanted to suicide.
Torres, on the other hand, was almost dissolved in the air.
He was so fast that even Star-level Warriors could only see the afterimages. The arrows that made no noises were shooting at this Nine-Star Warrior’s vital spots from all direction while following all sorts of strange trajectories.
The arrows that were empowered by the Star Energy could pierce through the Warrior Energy Shield, and there was already one arrow on this Nine-Star Warrior’s back and one on his right arm!
With the protection offered by the Star Saint Sets, this Nine-Star Warrior couldn’t instantly defeat and kill Torres and Drogba, but these two lower-level warriors could injure him. This man was feeling very angry and powerless; he felt like he was a dragon who was being provoked by two dogs but couldn’t fight back.
……
Fei’s fingers were lightly knocking the battlements on the defense wall.
The battles outside Dual-Flags City would make anyone’s blood boil, and Fei was no exception. Fights like these could be considered next-level!
Lampard and Elena were almost even with their opponents. Although Pierce, Drogba, Cech, and Torres were weaker than their opponents, their ferociousness and fearlessness allowed them to match up with their opponents temporarily. The negative consequences of this semi-suicidal style soon showed as the four warriors were all heavily injured, but this stirred up the emotions of the soldiers of Zenit even more.
At this moment, the cheering on the side of Zenit reached its climax.
This scene moved the nobles and their guards who were scared to death, and they joined and cheered as well. The way they knocked their armors and weapons and slapped the battlements in excitement would make others have a hard time believing that they were close to crapping in their pants less than half an hour ago when the Master Warriors of Jax charged at Dual-Flags City.
“Eh…… that is good enough. If these four men battled longer, they would be too injured, and they would need a long time to heal up; that would affect the defense of the city later if the enemies siege……” Fei thought.
He stopped knocking the battlement and was about to put an end to the fights outside Dual-Flags City. At this moment, a terrifying energy surge appeared in the campsites of Jax. The energy waves expanded outward like a tsunami, and it was far beyond the power of a Nine-Star Warrior.
“Such power!” Fei thought.
