Hail the King

Chapter 820: Unleashing of Power (Part One)

Seeing the Castellan moving so many elite soldiers of Leon and not his private guards, people knew that the situation was getting out of control. Therefore, the timid people already started to move back and got ready to leave.

Everyone knew that Castellan Henry was vicious, cruel, and short-tempered. Even when he was in a good mood, he could torture the people who he didn’t like on the street.

Recently, the tsunami came and caused a lot of damage to Talon City. It was heard that Castellan Henry’s manor by the seaside got destroyed by the tsunami, and the beautiful lover whom he had there was drowned. As a result, Castellan Henry wasn’t in a good mood, and it was rumored that he had beaten four to five maids in his mansion to death in the last few days. If anything upset him, the people in the crowd might be doomed.

Ordinary people gradually left.

The windows and doors on either side of the street were tightly shut as well. While hiding, people peeked through the slits in the doors and windows to see what would happen next.

Only a few mercenaries and wealthy merchants in fancy robes stood far away and spectated since they were very curious as to what would happen. After all, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] had a powerful master, and it might not lose.

Soon, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] was surrounded by close to 1,000 elite soldiers.

Then, purified iron tower shields were placed around the shop, linking together and blocking all the exits of the street just in case that powerful masters wanted to escape. Rows upon rows of crossbowmen half-kneeled on the ground with their crossbows loaded. The bowstrings were squeaking and whining after being pulled to the limit, and the chilly arrowheads were targeting the [Cauldron-Casting Shop].

Even warriors in red uniform armor held onto weapons and stood on the buildings in the area, cutting all possible escape paths.

Under the cold command of that military officer, a formation of spearmen marched forward while holding long iron spears that were more than two meters long, and the formation looked like an iron forest. As they slowly approached [Cauldron-Casting Shop], the spearheads pointed at everyone inside the shop viciously like bloodthirsty beasts.

This slow yet pressing tempo was a little terrifying for the average person, and it was a little suffocating.

In just a flash, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] was surrounded from all angles. Like a little ship in a storm, it felt like it would be flipped over and destroyed at any moment.

Inside the hall of [Cauldron-Casting Shop], the workers, guards, and saleswomen were standing straight. However, there were also a few customers who stayed there to watch the drama and didn’t leave in time. They were trapped inside the shop, and they all looked terrified by this intense murderous spirit.

“Ah! Let me go! I’m not a part of [Cauldron-Casting Shop]! I’m just here to buy weapons! Don’t misunderstand! I’m not involved…”

A middle-aged merchant-looking man was shocked, and his legs turned to jelly. He quickly dashed to the door and tried to explain himself while crying. Just as he was about to step out of this troublesome place, a series of bowstring vibrations sounded, and more than a dozen arrows shot toward this innocent man without mercy.

Fei frowned and thought of something.

Those 16 thick arrows suddenly stopped in mid-air before they could pierce through this man’s body; that millimeter distance between him and the arrows was terrifying.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

The arrows dropped onto the ground and created a series of crisp noises.

These noises knocked on people’s minds like hammers, and it made the pressing atmosphere even more suffocating.

That middle-aged fatty who escaped from the embrace of the Grim Reaper collapsed onto the ground, and he instantly wet his pants due to fear. Ashen-faced, he shivered as he crawled back into the hall and cried loudly. However, despite his fear, he still didn’t forget to thank Fei for saving him.

“Traitors in [Cauldron-Casting Shop], come out under my command! Drop all weapons and let us arrest you! I will give you ten seconds! If you don’t come out in ten seconds, you will all be charged with treason and executed on the spot!”

The military officer whom Fei let ago early was now arrogant. While riding on the handsome white horse, he shouted as if he controlled the entire situation.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

The elite soldiers knocked their weapons on their armor and coordinated with that military officer’s shout. The loud metal-colliding noises created by more than 1,000 soldiers were stunning, and a murderous spirit permeated the air.

Those who had never been to a battlefield and saw blood couldn’t stand this murderous spirit, and they shivered in fear. In fact, even some of the guards of [Cauldron-Casting Shop] paled.

The girls such as Ellen were all terrified, and they cuddled together and shivered.

“Humph!” Fei snorted, but that light sound was more powerful than a loud bell. An invisible power rushed to the surroundings like waves and instantly suppressed the noises created by all the soldiers.

The warriors around [Cauldron-Casting Shop] felt like thunder rumbled right beside their ears, and their faces instantly paled. Those masters who stood on the buildings around [Cauldron-Casting Shop] were especially ‘cared’ for by Fei, and they all shivered and fell off.

Fei’s snort had easily pushed back against so many soldiers and warriors, and those people’s morale plummeted.

“Shoot!” That military officer on the white horse saw this and instantly ordered with a vicious expression.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!!

A series of terrifying bowstring vibrations sounded, and the archers and crossbowmen shot out the arrows instantly.

The dense arrow rain dashed toward [Cauldron-Casting Shop] like a group of hungry locusts, and they were about to embrace this building like the Grim Reaper while making air-piercing noises.

Fei sat in the center of the grand hall of the building and frowned. “You just don’t know when to admit defeat!”

In the next moment, golden energy flames rushed out and enveloped the entire building. Like snails that were trapped inside a swamp, the many arrows slowed down drastically before completely stopping in mid-air. Before people could react, these arrows turned around as if they had lives of their own, and they pointed at those soldiers who shot them.

As Fei waved his hand, these arrows dashed back like flashes of lightning.

“AH!” Many arrows pierced the military officer who gave the order, and he was turned into a hedgehog before he fell down the white horse.

A series of gasps sounded among the soldiers.

All of them were dumbfounded, and they sensed a chill shooting into their skulls from their spines.

“This is too insane! It is clear that the master inside the building went easy on us! Otherwise, those arrows could kill us with the commander. At least we who are in the front will be turned into hedgehogs as well!” the soldiers thought to themselves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The golden energy flames grew and turned into a golden light beam, enveloping the entire building and shooting into the sky. The sky was dyed golden, and it seemed like the night turned into daytime.

In the next moment, a phenomenon appeared.

The golden light beam continued to change in the sky. Soon, it turned into a miraculous image.

Vaguely, people could see a golden sun slowly rising from the horizon and lighting up the world. This sun looked like the ruler of the world and took everyone’s attention.

Sun-Class Lord!
