Hail the King

Chapter 533: Such a Weird Request (Part One)

“Huh? The guests are here? Let’s talk about this after I treat the guests.”

A smiled appeared on Fei’s face as he heard the noises outside. He stopped this discussion temporarily and took away the energy sphere.

Batistuta nodded and canceled his energy sphere as well.

“Where is King Alexander of Chambord? Get the f*ck out here!” An arrogant and domineering voice sounded from the outside, and it would be hard to connect it to members of the Holy Church who should be mild and humble.

Boom!

The gate of the military camp that was half open got knocked down.

As if he had already predicted this, the smile on Fei’s face didn’t fade away. He sat there calmly like a mountain.

As a series of rapid footsteps sounded, more than 30 Holy Knights who were wearing silver armors rushed in. Then, more than 60 Priests-In-Training and Holy Knight Apprentices followed with [Bright Chain] in their hands. Then, 20 young priests walked in surrounding a magic carriage that was pulled by six handsome white horses as they marched in with a majestic presence.

Fei could tell that these horses weren’t from the Zenit Empire. They were the Fly-Cloud Horse who were produced in the Leon Empire. They were a type of unique beasts that could move really fast. However, they stamina and endurance were low, so they weren’t fit for long distance travel. Even though that was the case, they were still expensive mounts since their looks were great and they had a noble aura around them. A lot of nobles were willing to pay high prices for them to boost their ego.

As soon as the carriage got into the camp, a priest quickly took out a small red six-stairs ladder and placed it by the carriage.

The gold-gilded door on the carriage opened, and a pair of delicately-made black long boots with low-level silver magic gems on them appeared first. Then, there was the fat belly……

With the help from the young priests, David Boyd, the Bishop of the church in Dual-Flags City and the leader of one of the three power systems appeared. Out of the three leaders, Fei had already meet Ribry and Soroyov. It was his first time meeting this Bishop.

Fei’s guesses weren’t wrong.

Just like Priest Zola in the Chambord City, this Bishop looked extremely rich and corrupt. He was wearing a robe that had more than 60 magic gems on it, and it was enough to power ten small magic arrays. The fat on his body made his face and body so thick that his neck was not even visible, but the lights flashing in this man’s eyes showed that he was a sly and calculative person. However, his body size combined with the fact that he tried to look majestic using his expression made him look ridiculous.

“How dare you! You committed an unforgivable crime! How dare you assault the members of the Holy Church? You attacked the representatives of the gods, and that is equivalent to staining the honor of the gods! There is that damn King of Chambord? Get out there and kneel to beg for forgiveness!”

Like a huge fat pug, Boyd stood on the small ladder and growled.

He saw Fei, but he was still yelling with his head up. He was waiting for Fei to run over and kneel to beg him.

However, the King didn’t even look at him.

The only response to Boyd’s shout was the laughter from the warriors and soldiers of Chambord. They were all pointing at this fat Bishop, making fun of him.

The members of the Holy Church who were arrested and whipped all rushed over to the carriage. They pointed at the wounds on their bodies and told the Bishop how cruel and barbaric the people of Chambord were.

“Sir, you have to punish these savages! They aren’t the children of the gods! They are devils and should be in hell……”

“These damn demons! They dared to whip the representatives of the gods! It is unforgivable! They are a bunch of evil b*stards! Oh, gods! Please forgive me for my word choices. I couldn’t think of another word to describe these filthy and dirty people!”

“Kill them all! Sir, we need to kill these Chambordians and their evil king. The honor and the dignity of the Holy Church are stained, and we need their blood to wash it off.”

“Sir, look! Look at how they treated your servants. Please show them your anger and punish them. I think they should be all placed on the fire cross! Oh right. There are a few good women among them. They could be placed in the Choir, and they could serve the gods and Your Highness.”

“Ah, it hurts! Sir, they have no respect for you!”

The members of the Holy Church, who had said a lot of good things about Chambord when they were begging for mercy while being whipped, turned around and pointed at Fei and the soldiers as they said passionately as if they were heroes who never backed down in front of evil. They showed the whip marks on their bodies and stated how they were treated cruelly by the savages of Chambord.

Vice-Bishop Barton, whose both hands were broken, were dragged to Boyd on the wooden board.

“Mr. Boyd…… Kill the King of Chambord. He……” With viciousness and hatred in his eyes, Barton stuttered and said, “They…… They have…… Three dragons…… If we can get them, we…… We could gift them to……”

In order to get back at Fei, he was willing to share his discoveries with Boyd.

Before Barton could finish, Boyd understood the intention.

Unhidden greedy and joyous lights appeared in his eyes that were almost covered by the fat on his face.

“Get over here! King of Chambord, are you still going to try to resist under the watch of the gods? Kneel and beg for forgiveness! The only way that you could make up for what you did is to hand over all the treasures of Chambord……” Like a dog that was borrowing power from a dragon, silver flames appeared on Boyd’s body as he stated with a sincere expression on his face. He gave a reasonable excuse for his blatant robbery.

Boyd had heard about Fei’s performance in the war against Jax.

He knew for a fact that Fei could easily defeat everyone at the church in Dual-Flags City. However, the people in the Execution Team who came over didn’t mention to him that the King of Chambord was a [God’s Favorite Child], and Boyd thought that the robe of the Holy Church on his body was enough to deal with any master. There had been too many powerful masters who conceded in front of him because of it.

Fei was still smiling and sitting down on his stone chair. The mocking expression on his face showed everyone that he was looking at a clown.

Sensing this, Boyd’s expression changed. As he was about to growl, a series of clip-clop noises sounded.

A team of about 20 cavaliers charged into the camp, and the person in the lead was the former Head Commander of Dual-Flags City, Ribry. This young general with the scar on his face rushed in and shouted, “Bishop Boyd! Please wait! There must be a misunderstanding! I can promise you with my life that Mr. Alexander didn’t mean to stain the honor of the gods. He……”

It was clear that Ribry got the news and tried to resolve the conflict by coming here; he was trying to protect Fei.

However-

“Ribry, you better stand aside. The King of Chambord and his henchmen stained the honor of the gods by beating the members of the Holy Church. The evidence is clear! If you still try to talk for him, I will place you within the same group as him, and I will lock you down with [Bright Chains] as well……”

Boyd had his own plans, and he didn’t give Ribry any time to speak.

“Hahaha! Alexander, I said you are done! You are dead! Hahaha! No one can save you!” Vice-Bishop Barton, who almost recovered after the priests around him used their Holy Power to heal him, suddenly sat up from the wooden board and shouted.

He pointed at Fei with a vicious yet proud expression on his face and yelled, “You are only the king of a little affiliated kingdom. How dare you challenge the Holy Church? You don’t even know how you will be killed! I swear! I will lock you and your henchmen up, and I will skin you all alive! Hahaha! Trust me! I have skinned 133 people, and my skills are great! I will make you beg! I will make you beg for death! Hahaha! I said that I will return what you did to me thousands time over! Hahaha……”

His tone was so vicious and chilly that the temperature around him dropped.

However, Fei only shrugged his shoulder.

“Hahaha, what? You scared now? It is too late! I said that you should have killed me! Hahaha! I said that you will regret not killing me! Hahahaha! It is too late!” Barton got even more proud after seeing Fei’s silence. “Hahahaha! Do you dare to kill me? Come on! Kill me! Haha! You don’t have the balls! Hahaha! Sad! Come on! Kill me! Kill me right now!”

Whoosh!

A dash of silver sword energy flew across the air and pierced through Barton’s heart, creating a splash of blood.

“Eh…… Come on and kill me! You don’t dare to…… You…… You…… Ah?? You?…… You dare to kill me? You……”

Barton who was still provoking saw the flash of silver light and felt like his chest was a little cold.

He lowered his head and saw a huge hole in his chest. His heart was obliterated, and the life energy was leaving his body. He couldn’t believe it! He couldn’t believe that the King of Chambord really killed him in front of Bishop Boyd and many other members of the Holy Church.

An unprecedented fear and regret appeared in his mind, and his body fell back onto the wooden board after a scream. He was dead.

The atmosphere turned deadly and cold.

No one believed what they saw.

In the middle of the military camp, Fei moved back his arms and lightly blew on his middle finger that cast the silver sword energy. Then, he turned to Batistuta and laughed, “Right Deacon, you saw that too, right? He cried and yelled, asking me to kill him. This is the first time in my life that I heard such a weird request. Therefore, I had to satisfy him.”
