Hail the King

Chapter 822: Man Hunt (Part One)

Fei knew why Buckingham was anxious; anyone who had done heroic deeds would feel this way when they were slandered and painted as the traitor of humans.

Fei didn’t ask where Buckingham went this afternoon; it was clear that this high-level noble of the Leon Empire tried to contact the imperial intelligence networks to pass on critical information. Unfortunately, it seemed like Buckingham couldn’t redeem himself and be accepted by the Royal Family of Leon unless the truth got out.

“Alexander, you revealed your power today?” Buckingham suppressed the anxiety that he was feeling and complained, “You should already know about the shameless lies that D’Alessandro told, and the two of us are framed, becoming the enemies of all the humans on the continent. Right now, our top priority should be trying to get the truth out. The fact that you exposed our trail will attract some people’s attention, and it will bring unnecessary trouble to us. It isn’t wise.”

Fei smiled and replied, “I did it intentionally. By exposing us a little, perhaps some people will get nervous and try to do something. When they move, we will have an excellent opportunity to strike.

Buckingham gaped, and he suddenly felt like the King of Chambord was making sense here.

Since the situation was already like this, moving in the darkness wouldn’t be useful unless they could somehow force D’Alessandro to tell the truth. However, that was clearly impossible.

Perhaps once D’Alessandro found out that they were still alive, he would panic and do something. In that situation, they could find a good opportunity and turn the whole thing around.

As the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint, D’Alessandro had a high status and a lot of power. However, this man was also vicious. If he learned that they didn’t die at the bottom of the sea, he would plan assassinations to kill them and bury all evidence. However, since the King of Chambord could even defeat the evil god of the Sea Tribe, Buckingham wasn’t worried about their safety.

He suddenly thought of something and asked in curiosity, “I heard about what happened in [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. What? That weapon shop belongs to you?”

Fei nodded and didn’t try to hide it.

Many businesses were operating under the [Letter Office], and [Cauldron-Casting Shop] was only one of them. Since [Cauldron-Casting Shop] wasn’t a chain-store, no one could trace [Cauldron-Casting Shop]’s background and find other organizations.

Also, after witnessing the battle at the bottom of the sea, Buckingham’s worldview and beliefs all changed. His sight wasn’t only focused on the conflict between the two empires, and he wouldn’t do anything to [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. In fact, if he could redeem himself and gain power again, he probably would look after this little shop to befriend Fei even more.

After the two of them communicated and exchanged the information that they obtained in the afternoon, they made plans and went back into their own rooms to rest.

On the second day, Fei and Buckingham didn’t leave Talon City right away. Instead, they disguised themselves to the degree where others couldn’t recognize them, and they wandered around the city for the whole day. They only returned to the hotel at night, and they went to rest after having dinner.

Just like this, Fei and Buckingham stayed in Talon City for three days, and they only left the city through the main gate on the morning of the fourth day, moving toward the Capital of Leon directly without disguise.

In a sense, revealing D’Alessandro’s lies and redeeming themselves were no longer Fei’s top priorities. Instead, the king wanted to find the mysterious golden skeleton and destroy it! That was the most urgent matter.

Recently, a lot of significant events took place, and they showed that the golden skeleton had the ability to stir up troubles. It seemed like the golden skeleton was behind the Ten-Empire United Troops’ invasion of Zenit as well as the Sea Tribe’s awakening and their evil god’s revival.

Fei had a feeling that the golden skeleton which he released from the Mythical Altar by accident was a damn key. It was slowly turning and opening Pandora’s Box! He had to find this key before Pandora’s Box was completely opened and destroy it. Otherwise, the Azeroth Continent would be washed with blood and burned through by war and fire.

Therefore, Fei wanted Buckingham to help him find the mysterious character who planted that bloody skeleton in this nobleman’s body.

Chapter 822: Man Hunt (Part Two)

After leaving the city for a while, Fei sensed that streaks of energies were lurking around them. He was sure that some people were following and monitoring them quietly.

As they traveled south, the people on the road decreased drastically in number.

Fei and Buckingham moved quickly. In order to avoid unnecessary attention, they picked a remote and tricky path in the mountains.

When the night arrived, Fei and Buckingham appeared in the [Rolla’s Blood Forest] which was the largest forest in the northern territory of Leon.

As the silver moonlight shined through the clouds and trees, the two of them decided to rest beside a lake by a mountain, and there was ice and snow in this lake.

Before they could finish their dinner, more than a dozen energy surges appeared around them and surrounded them.

“Here they are. 16 Moon-Class Elites? Such a big investment! Eh? People from the Holy Church? Unfortunately, D’Alessandro isn’t here.” Fei winked at Buckingham.

“What should we do? Should we kill all of them?” Buckingham frowned, showing that he wasn’t in a good mood.

“This doesn’t seem like a good idea since we will be killing too many people. If we kill too much, even if we redeem ourselves later, we would have too many enemies. Also, these people are fooled, and they are poor souls who are being used by D’Alessandro.”

“Of course! We can’t kill them.” Fei slowly stood up and smiled brightly, “I’m planning to use them to wash away the dirt on our names. Even if they can’t do that completely, they could help us stimulate that Mr. D’Alessandro.”

Buckingham nodded and felt a bit relieved.

He got famous at a young age, and he had been at a high status for a long time. He had led troops and obtained a bright track record. Also, he was a powerful warrior himself and a very decisive person.

However, he felt like he wasn’t on the King of Chambord’s level, and he subconsciously took Fei’s ideas and thoughts into his mind.

At this moment, fancy magic light suddenly shot into the sky and came together. Then, a mystical energy permeated the air, and a giant faint-white energy sphere appeared, completely enveloping Fei and Buckingham as well as the trees and the lake.

This was a powerful sealing magic array.

“Hahahaha! The array formation is built! We don’t need to worry about these shameless traitors escaping! Let’s move up and kill these two traitors right here right now! Humans will have two less despicable members!”

As a series of bold laughter sounded, a red figure walked out of the forest.

Buckingham squinted and pondered.

This man in red was a powerful Moon-Class Elite; he was at least at the Half Moon Realm. Right now, he was staring at Fei and Buckingham with cold light in his eyes.

At the same time, a lot of people appeared around them in the sky, on the water, on the rocks, and on the trees.

These Moon-Class Elites who had different looks and different outfits appeared and surrounded Fei and Buckingham with intense murderous spirits on them.

“Hahaha! There are so many of you! I guess some people are just not afraid of death. You are just a bunch of poor souls who are being used. I wonder how many of you could make it out alive?” Fei laughed as he glanced around calmly; his glances were as sharp as knives.

“Yuck! Shameless b*stards! How come we humans have two bugs like you? Aren’t you the ones who conspired with the Sea Tribe? Today, we will chop you into meat paste and feed the fish in the ocean!” someone shouted at Fei with a cold smile and angry eyes.
