Hail the King

Chapter 905: Survivor’s Fortune (Part One)

Anna expressed the question on everyone else’ mind.

At this moment, all the Alanian survivors held their breath, and their hearts were in their throats, afraid that they heard it wrong and wanted to confirm it by hearing Fei’s words again.

“King Alexander of Chambord is an unparalleled master who might be able to kill gods. If he is willing to travel with us, he will protect us,” they thought to themselves.

Without a doubt, their safety would be guaranteed with Fei close by, and this dangerous trip would almost become a vacation.

“Of course, if you guys welcome us.”

Fei’s response made all the Alanian survivors feel elated.

They cheered and thanked Fei for taking care of them, and a few young men ran to the top of the stone hill and roared. Now that they no longer had to worry about triggering the mutated demon beasts and zombies in the area, they wanted to vent their frustration and anxiety.

In the last while, they had to hide and travel carefully, and they were all under enormous pressure. Now, all the negative emotions were vented after they roared.

As if sunlight shined on the land after missing for an eternity, and the tragedy started to leave, smiles that hadn’t appeared on their faces for a long time showed again, and they all felt like they had won the lottery.

Now, the Alanian survivors all relaxed, and the fatigue that they accrued from the intense battle started to overload their nerves like waves of the ocean. Even that burly, middle-aged mercenary named Edward was so tired that he could barely move.

After talking and carefully getting Fei’s permission, this team of Alanian survivors camped on the stone hill and planned to pass this long but not so chilly night here.

Since they didn’t have to worry about being surrounded and sieged by zombies, the young people lit up campfires on the stone hill, lighting up the sky and the excited and joyous faces of these Alanians.

This was the first night that they could relax and get a sound night’s sleep ever since the Undead Creature Catastrophe occurred.

On the other hand, Fei quietly contacted the Xuan’ge.

After a little over ten minutes, Torres quickly came over with ten elite soldiers of Chambord, bringing a lot of food and clean water onto the stone hill.

The team of Alanian survivors wasn’t that surprised about Torres and the soldiers’ arrival. After all, the King of Chambord’s strength was beyond their imaginations, and this man was a prestigious king. It was very reasonable to have mighty guards around him.

These Alanian survivors were lucky that they ran into the king; they were able to enjoy their first delicious meal since the beginning of their survival journey. Even Anna, who looked cold, ate a lot of food; she almost devoured her tongue.

The two little girls, Keeley and Dilly, didn’t know much and chuckled after seeing that.

…

Before noon of the next day, the number of people in the team of survivors increased.

While Fei and the team of survivors traveled south, they ran into another group of Alanian survivors that was in a bad situation.

It was a team comprised of two women and four children. This team was very lucky; the members were all extremely fragile, yet they didn’t die in the dangerous environment. It was quite surprising.

The sexy Anna looked cold on the outside but was very passionate and caring on the inside. After getting Fei’s permission, she took these poor survivors into her team.

One of the survivors was a one-year-old baby. He was having a serious fever and on the verge of death. His mom was a young woman who was about 21 or 22 years old, and she couldn’t stop crying for her child and looked lost. It was a tragic scene.

If Fei didn’t offer help, the mom and son might not be able to last another day.

The harsh lives of Alanians were evident.

Fei estimated that if this catastrophe continued, the Alanian population would at least decrease by over 90 percent.

After some brief interactions, the Alanian survivors realized that the legendary King of Chambord who was said to be the most powerful young master in the Northern Region of Azeroth wasn’t like they had expected. Instead of being majestic and hard to talk to, this young man was friendly, kind, and easy to talk to. Also, he always had a charming smile, and his charisma made others quickly treat him as a friend.

On the way, Fei easily took care of the zombies and mutated demon beasts, so the survivors didn’t need to battle until death. Also, when some of the survivors came to him carefully and wished to get his advice without offending him, the king didn’t reject them and answered their questions regarding cultivation.

Since this unparalleled master was willing to help, the young men in the team couldn’t believe it at first but then started to seek Fei’s teaching repeatedly. In the past, even the members of the Royal Family of Alania couldn’t get this treatment.

Later on, Fei directly took out the beginner-level warrior energy training scrolls that he created when he was bored, and he taught them to all the survivors who were interested in learning from him. Although these techniques were only on the beginner-level, they were from Fei who was like a ‘mobile martial library’. Also, when Fei was teaching them, he gave them personalized advice based on their talents and body compositions. Sometimes, one of his tips saved them one to two months of training.

The team of survivors snowballed as time passed on; more and more people joined the team.

On the night of the second day, more than 40 people were in the team. There were 28 women, seven kids, and 24 men. Out of the 24 men, two of them were seniors, and the rest were all strong young men who could perform laborious tasks.

With Fei on the team, no one was going to die. Therefore, these Alanians, who were engulfed by fear and desperation, smiled from the bottom of their hearts, and they started to have hope about the future.

After a full day, the team only moved forward for about 50 kilometers. It was a speed close to snail in Fei’s eyes, but he wasn’t anxious.

Also, he discovered something interesting. He wasn’t sure if it were a coincidence or there was a mysterious reason, but females were most likely to survive the corrosion of the dark power of Hell. Then, it was children, young men, and seniors in order.

This point seemed to be proven in Diablo World. In [Rogue Encampment], most of the survivors were female rogues; there were so few male rogues that it was pitiable.

Fei wasn’t sure if this were hinting at something.

As the campfire burned and lit up the area, cheers and laughter, which were rare in the area, sounded in the campsite.

The young men and the children stood in front of Fei in a formation and cultivated and trained diligently. In this chaotic world, people knew how hard this opportunity was to come by, so they didn’t dare to slack off. They shouted and practiced, adding a sense of liveliness to the cold and lonely plain at night.

Mercenary Edward, who used the double-handed sword, and Warrior Anna, who was sexy, became the temporary leaders of this team of survivors. Under Fei’s meticulous teaching, both of them obtained warrior energy and created a star swirl in each of their bodies, becoming One-Star Warriors.
