Hail the King

Chapter 827: Gerland City (Part One)

While the news was spreading in Kearney City, Fei and Buckingham already left and headed toward the Capital of Leon, Gerland City.

“That contract… You forged it, right?”

Buckingham looked at Fei strangely as he asked. He felt more and more like he couldn’t see through the King of Chambord. In his mind, a big hero who risked his life and battled with the evil god of the Sea Tribe to save the humans wouldn’t use such schemes and tricks.

“Of course, it is forged. Otherwise, why do you think that [Dark Godly Palace] would keep such an important contract in the little branch in Kearney City? Also, even if D’Alessandro is dumb, he wouldn’t admit those things to [Dark Godly Palace]. They are only working together; there is no reason for D’Alessandro to tell [Dark Godly Palace] everything like brothers,” Fei laughed proudly.

“Since there are so many holes in this, not many people will believe that contract.” Buckingham got even more confused.

“Hahahaha! I’m not hoping that everyone will believe it. However, some people will. Once the rumor spreads, some people will believe it and treat it as the truth. D’Alessandro can try to slander and frame us; why can’t we throw dirt back at him? Although we can’t kill him with this, it will make him dirty and stinky. Hahaha, we are only returning the ‘gift’. One day, these small tactics will add up and create big effects,” Fei explained as he smiled like a villain.

Buckingham turned silent and felt weird. At this moment, he finally confirmed his judgment. Even though the King of Chambord was a genius, he was still a jack*ss deep down in his core.

This man was mighty, but he would never play his cards according to normal logic, and he wouldn’t be held back by the traditional sense of honor and glory.

Buckingham thought that Fei was a hero who was willing to sacrifice his own life, but he just realized that this man was also a hungry wolf that would devour someone without spitting out the bones.

Of course, this jack*ss was very reliable most of the time, and you would subconsciously believe in him and rely on him. The only condition was that you must be his friend.

If you were his enemy, you need to pray for your life. This jack*ss would give you many nightmares.

“I heard that D’Alessandro is in Gerland City. In this trip to the Capital, we might run into that b*stard.” Buckingham reminded Fei worryingly after a short pause.

“Don’t worry! I want to meet him and give this b*stard a good beating!” Fei said as he clutched his fists.

Although his strength was inferior to D’Alessandro’s, he had that mysterious stone pillar as his ultimate trump card, and he wasn’t even worried about that evil god of the Sea Tribe, let alone D’Alessandro who was defeated by that entity.

If Fei were able to suppress the origin of the rumor that defamed him and Buckingham, perhaps he could end the slander on their names.

Seeing the violent response from Fei, Buckingham got even more worried.

“If you two get into a battle, Gerland City will face a catastrophe. The magic defense system in the Capital can’t protect against the residual energies that will spill over from the battle on that level. Alexander, I beg you. If you can’t instantly defeat D’Alessandro, please try not to attack. Although the Royal Family of Leon and the Royal Family of Zenit are hostile toward each other, there are millions of civilians in the city. Besides, I will go back and try to convince the Royal Family to stop the war against Zenit. Perhaps the two empires will become allies.” Buckingham tried to dissuade Fei from doing anything damaging.

“Alright, since you say this, I will endure it a little. The main mission is to find that mysterious entity, so enduring D’Alessandro isn’t a big deal. However, don’t play tricks on me. After all, Gerland is your territory. If you do anything that crosses the line, I might do something inhumane and disastrous.” Fei agreed and nodded without hesitation.

Chapter 827: Gerland City (Part Two)

“Ah? Great! Trust me; I will listen to you and coordinate with you.” Buckingham was ready to do more persuading, and he was elated when he realized that the King of Chambord agreed without any fuss.

As they talked, Fei’s expression suddenly changed, and he stood up from the [Throne of Chaos] abruptly.

Before Buckingham could ask anything, four blade energies suddenly appeared from four directions, and they dashed toward the [Throne of Chaos] rapidly. Then, four figures in black appeared in those four directions, and they charged forward with many blade energies around them.

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

Four subtle metal-colliding noises sounded.

The four thin blades slashed onto the energy sphere around the [Throne of Chaos], creating four dents on it but couldn’t break it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After seeing that their strikes weren’t adequate, those four figures suddenly shivered.

Pop! Like smoke, the four of them instantly disappeared as if they were never here.

This entire process was a split second long; it was even too fast for Buckingham to react.

“They are assassins from [Dark Godly Palace]! They came so fast!” Fei frowned and sent his spirit energy outward. However, he couldn’t sense anything.

These four assassins were masters among masters. Once they missed, they instantly dashed away and disappeared. From the beginning to the end, it was less than one-thousandth of a second.

They never got greedy and stuck around; their mentality was terrifying and dangerous.

“What should we do?” Buckingham asked with a serious expression, “It seems like [Dark Godly Palace] has sent Silver-Wing Assassins. They must be watching us, and they are waiting for the next opportunity to strike.”

It was heard that [Dark Godly Palace] had four levels of assassins – Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Iron. The assassins who struck just now were powerful, and it was hard to trace them; they were at least Silver-Wing Assassins.

“Ignore them! Let’s go!”

With a series expression, Fei controlled the [Throne of Chaos] and sped up. The faint silver energy sphere enveloped the two and the throne, and they started to dash forward as a whole. As if they merged into space, they were hard to spot as they moved forward. Every time they were visible, they had traveled for close to 50 kilometers.

Before the sunset, Fei and Buckingham finally arrived at the Capital of Leon, Gerland.

On the way, the assassins of [Dark Godly Palace] attacked them more than ten times, and these killers who mastered stealth techniques and assassination skills were really dangerous. If Fei and Buckingham lowered their guard, these assassins would appear like shadows and pierce sharp sabers through their hearts.

Fei was enraged, and he killed six peak Full Moon Assassins. After that, [Dark Godly Palace] got deterred a little and stopped the assassinations.

When Fei stood in the sky above Gerland City, he couldn’t help but lament.

The Leon Empire was indeed the most dominant force within 500,000 kilometers of St. Petersburg. Gerland City was many times larger than St. Petersburg. Looking down, various buildings and structures connected and extended into the horizon. This city which was built on the knowledge of the magic civilization was much larger than any of the cities on Earth! Countless buildings stood on the ground, connecting the dark ground with the dark clouds in the sky.

The Royal Palace of Leon stood in the center of the city.

Just this Royal Palace was the size of an ordinary city, and all the buildings were black. Black was the color of the Leon Empire, and it looked impeccable from afar.

However, Fei wondered if people living in these buildings would get depression and other mental illnesses after living in such a gloomy environment for so long.

Right now, Fei could sense many auras of the masters in the city like streaks of smoke. Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to detect these energies, but they were as clear as flames in the night to anyone who was on and above the Moon-Class and thus were extremely eye-catching.

Each of these energies represented a master.

Among these auras, several of them were as bright as the sun in the night.
