Chapter 127: Give you a chance (1)

Both the eldest princess and Paris chose Chambord, a remote little kingdom, as their battlefield without talking to each other. They had never even considered the citizens and the king of the kingdom in their planning. In their eyes, these people were like ants. Therefore, there was no such need-to be honest, even their subordinates didn"t treat Chambord like a kingdom, but rather like a piece of land that belonged to the Zenit Empire. They didn"t respect Fei or his people in the slightest.

In the minds of many people, as soon as the kingdom called Chambord was chosen as the battlefield, the kingdom and its king Alexander had been considered a tragic joke. It was only going to be a minor accompaniment to whoever won this lethal battle in witnessing the glory of the winner. Its destiny was to fall with the loser and turn into a pile of ruins and bones and end up in h.e.l.l.

Under the law of the jungle, no one cared about the cries of the weak.

However, what people were seeing contradicted all of their understandings.

The party that they labeled as powerless and weak didn"t cry. Instead, it used its barbaric fists and palms to smash many proud and arrogant faces into pieces. Then, it used its dirty feet and kicked these people into the gutter. It forced these people to suddenly swallow their shame and shock!

Who was the clown?

It definitely wasn"t the little king who was standing in front of them.

Who was the ruler?

It definitely wasn"t themselves like they thought it was.

The morning sun was turning a b.l.o.o.d.y red color, and the peak of Eastern mountain had never been this chilly before.

"How is this possible? How did you do it?" The cold-blooded beauty asked with her shaking voice; she asked the question that was on everyone"s mind.

"It"s easy! Pretending to be dead…… it"s nothing too technical……" Fei said as he poured the last bit of water onto Emma"s face. Emma was the last corpse that was still lying on the ground. She was smashed in the chest by Paris and was somewhat injured. Fei helped Emma who was semi-conscious get up as he continued. "Hehe, powerful and influential people like you guys only look up at people above you or on your level. Would you pay attention to garbage like us?" Fei threw a question back, but this question quickly shut people up.

They didn"t even care about the lives of Chambord"s people to begin with. They treated them like dirty bugs, without giving any respect. During the fierce battle, no one wasted their time to see if the people from Chambord were really died or just faking their deaths……. That was their blind spot, caused by their error in judgment.

However, Paris wasn"t dumb. She refuted as she frowned and pointed at Angela and Emma who were standing behind Fei. "Impossible. I clearly felt that her heart stopped beating. In terms of this little blonde girl, I smashed her right on the chest……"

Fei glanced at Paris as if he was looking at an idiot as he swung a delicate female chest armour in his hands. The armour that was made from refined iron had a concave mark of a palm on it. "You are right; if it wasn"t for this chest armor, this little girl would be dead. I was very scared when you did that to her!"

The crowd was surprised.

No one expected this barbaric king to pay this much attention to details. This king wasn"t cheap at all, as he even armed one of his worthless maids to the teeth. It was reasonable that this girl could survive under a strike from Paris with the help of this thick armor.

Paris was the only one still shaking her head.

She knew that the real reason wasn"t this simple; however, if this b.a.s.t.a.r.d wasn"t going to disclose it, she couldn"t get anything out of it even if she tried.

Until now, Paris realized that she could no longer understand or see through this king. "What kind of person is he? An idiot? A genius? A hero? A liar?" Paris was very confident in her instincts and was confident that she could see through a man in a few seconds after meeting him, but the truth was that she thought she understood Fei about three or four hours ago. However, she had to throw out all the comments she made about him and redefine who this king was. For a while, she couldn"t find the right word to describe the king.

Under the stares from the crowd, all the people from Chambord who partic.i.p.ated in this battle at the peak of Eastern mountain had revived. Gradually, many people were able to tell that these people entered a "fake death state" by utilizing some kind of magic potion; they were able to "revive" after getting stimulated by the cold water……However, they still couldn"t accept the truth after seeing all the corpses lying around. Did this mean that all the powerful star warriors from both Paris" and the eldest princess" sides died and the people from Chambord who were destined to die were not harmed?

"Haha, let"s talk about it. How do we want to deal with these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?"

Fei really wanted to shame his enemies, and there was no better way than by doing this. He casually sat down on a rock that was about one yard tall as he crossed his legs and pointed at the influential people like Paris without worry as he asked the guards around him.

None of the guards from Chambord were nice, especially from how they acted.

"Easy! Kill all the men and keep all the women……Hehe!" Golden Taurus Knight Drogba laughed obscenely. If it wasn"t for Emma who gave him a deadly stare, he would have definitely said something appropriate for kids.

"Eh, it"s at Your Majesty"s discretion," Barrack said after Drogba. He was very loyal to Fei.

"How about we hand them over to the eldest princess?" the short guy Essien seemed dumb, but he was intelligent.

"……" Lampard didn"t say anything. He simply gripped his huge black sword tighter.

"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!" The big black dog barked at Paris viciously.

Fei didn"t say anything. He chewed on a gra.s.s root he got from somewhere and smiled at Paris.

His joking demeanor made the people on Paris" side really angry.

"It is a bit too early to celebrate, don"t you think? King Alexander, I have to admit that you have shocked me again, but unfortunately…… Do you think that by restraining us here, you have controlled everything? You are too naive. Hahahaha…… Look at your kingdom from here. Listen carefully!" After she said that, Paris recovered from her huge shock; the flirtatious smile that could excite any man came back on her face.

As if it was trying to prove Paris right, five to six huge lines of smoke raised to the sky. People on the Eastern mountain could clearly see some buildings in the kingdom caught on fire. They were burning very quickly. They could also hear crying and screams vaguely.

The people from Chambord were shocked.

Confidence was restored back to Paris as a big bright smile shined on her face. "Hehe, this is quite sad. I just remembered that I set up a dozen bandits before I came to the peak of Eastern mountain. Alexander, if you take back the magic traps and let us leave, I might be able to stop them before they rob and kill all the n.o.bles, including your palace……"

After she said that, she didn"t continue. She just smiled and looked at Fei.

She was very confident. Although Fei used the strategy of faking the deaths of his people to control the situation on the peak of Eastern mountain, that did not mean he would be the final winner of the day. Paris had one more card that could help herself and her troops back out of the peak of Eastern mountain safely.

After hearing her words, the princes and emissaries from the various kingdoms had regained hope. They were arrogant again. Paris was definitely one of the two most scary women at St. Petersburg. She still had a hidden card all this time. A lot of princes and emissaries couldn"t stop but to make fun of Fei –

"Haha, little king, why don"t you destroy all your traps right now. Otherwise your kingdom will be turned into a pile of ruins……"

"If your kingdom is destroyed, then you will become a n.o.body, haha!"

"You are lucky enough to dodge a disaster; it would be smart to know your limits!"

"Alexander, is it worth more to show off or protect your citizens? Your citizens are crying and screaming; you consider yourself a generous and kind king, so won"t you think for them?"

These words were from people from Shanui Kingdom, Luna Kingdom and Chata Kingdom. Prince Boyou was the one who was yelling the loudest, as if he was the one in control, not Fei.

Fei"s expression changed, but he didn"t panic.

He turned around and looked at the eldest princess Tanasha, and this [G.o.ddess of Intelligence] seemed to understand. She sighed as she lowered her head. She didn"t say anything, but the swordswoman Susan shouted, "Alexander, you can"t let them go! Kill them right now……"

Fei sneered as he looked at Arshavin, [Zenit"s G.o.d of War].

"If you help me kill this woman, I promise you that I will grant you three castles that are way larger and more prosperous than Chambord. You will still be a king under Zenit Empire!" Arshavin said.

Fei humphed coldly, but he didn"t respond.

Chapter 127: Give you a chance (2)

He switched to [a.s.sa.s.sin Mode].

He started walking as his fingers shook in a pattern.

When he was about 20 yards away from Paris, he switched back to [Barbarian Mode] and released all of his power. His physical power started to rise and didn"t stop. The devastating power was like a tsunami, and everyone around him felt it.

His eyes glanced through Paris" beautiful face, but it didn"t stop there. His eyes landed on the a.s.sa.s.sin who used the sword. Fei laughed, "You are a sword master. I"m willing to give you a fair chance. There are no magic traps in this 20-yard radius. If you can defeat me in a battle, I will let you go!"

At that moment, everyone felt the thirst for battle from Fei.

The a.s.sa.s.sin gripped his sword tightly as he turned around and looked at Paris.

"Alexander, are you really going to ignore all of your people and let them suffer? If you still don"t cooperate and waste time, your palace will be ruined, and your people will turn into piles of bones…… You need my command for those bandits to stop," Paris"s expression changed a little as she threatened him.

Fei giggled, "Some people will be turned into bones, but it"s not going to be my people."

"What do you mean?" Paris had a bad feeling.

"It means that His Majesty had already predicted this……"

A crisp female voice sounded on the peak. Soon, another beauty appeared in front of the crowd. She was in a set of red hot magic armor, and she was holding a golden long bow. The magic armour shined under the sun and it made her look like a valkyrie who was stepping on clouds.

Every man there felt like something in their minds was collapsing. For the women, they subconsciously scanned her body and made comparisons to their own; even Paris and Tanasha who were really intelligent were no exception.

It was a great scene.

Of course, the scene would have been even be more beautiful if she was holding a b.l.o.o.d.y head.

Bam!

The head travelled a perfect trajectory and landed beside Paris" feet.

"This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had done some horrible things at Viscount Louise’s mansion, so I beheaded him. The other people have also been killed!"

Fei wanted to hug her and give her a big kiss on the cheek. The way the hot mercenary Elena said that was so powerful and cool that even Fei himself couldn"t have said it better.

Paris" heart sunk to her stomach after she saw the head.

This man was the commander that she left in charge of the bandit groups. He was a 4-star warrior already. When all the powerful star warriors were centralized on the peak of Eastern mountain, no one should have been able to threaten his life. Paris never expected her henchman to be beheaded by someone and have his head thrown at her. Everything was crystal clear; since the commander had already died, the bandit groups wouldn"t be better off.

This a.s.sumption almost made her lose the ability to think.

Tragic! This was the first time Paris felt this way. Her situation was even worse than tragic; it was more like desperate. Every time she pulled a card out and gained confidence in her ability to win, reality turned brutal and made her confidence look like a joke. The little king in front of her was like a limitless G.o.d. He was able to destroy all of Paris" preparations and turn one of the scariest women from St. Petersburg into a clown.

Paris had fallen into a moment of unprecedented depression.

She even felt powerless.

During this terrible silence, the big black dog [Black Tornado] started its catwalk again.

It brought Elena, Bast, Brook and the other leaders in Chambord through the magic traps and they all stood beside Fei.

All of the leaders had appeared at the peak of Eastern mountain.

This was a force that no one was could ignore, because a G.o.dly king was standing amongst them.

After seeing this, everyone knew that Paris" last trick had failed. The princes and emissaries who were laughing and making fun of Fei were so scared that they almost s.h.i.t their pants. Their faces turned pale as they all regretted what they did; they wanted to slap themselves, and they didn"t know why they talked……

If people doubted the fake death strategy and thought that it only succeeded because of luck, no one could doubt that Fei had become the sole winner due to luck now. After thinking about the whole thing, the people realized that no matter how the situation changed, Fei was able to maintain his advantage the whole time. From the a.s.sa.s.sination and betrayal of the former head minister to pulling off the fake death strategy when the fight between Paris and Tanasha reached the climax, to using strength and intelligence to kill several high star warriors, to reviving all the corpse, and to somehow dealing with the bandit groups that should have been unstoppable…… Fei faced these series of tricky situations calmly. He was already better than most of the kings in Zenit Empire, and he was not inferior when compared to Paris or Tanasha who were known to be powerful and smart.

Powerful individual strength, unpredictable intelligence and strategies, tough and valiant personality……

"Is this the little king"s real side?"

While most people were only shocked by Fei"s individual strength and performance, Paris and Tanasha had sensed something. They were shocked by the overall strength of Chambord as a whole. This kingdom"s true strength was more than what they could see. Quietly eliminating a dozen bandit groups in which three-star, four-star, even five-star warriors and mages were involved…… it was really scary. How could a level six affiliated kingdom possess such strength? Chambord was far stronger than level 2, or even level 1 affiliated kingdoms.

"What happened in this kingdom?"

Paris fixed her hair that was messed up by a breeze as she smiled.

In such a desperate situation, this cold-blooded beauty smiled again. However, this smile wasn"t as flirtatious as her smiles from before; it was more natural and real, as if all the breeze took the mask off of her face. Like a girl who was rejected by her lover, Paris sighed and waved her soft hand.

Then, the a.s.sa.s.sin behind her took a step forward and stood between her and Fei.

Buzz!

The a.s.sa.s.sin took off the mask that was on his face, and a handsome face appeared. The sharp sword in his hand started to shake violently and buzz; it was the sign that this swordsman was about to attack without holding anything back.

"Ah! He is one of the [Two Hidden], [Hidden at Snowpeak] Swordsman Dani. He is the eldest prince of Nadeko kingdom, a level 1 affiliated kingdom. He usually trains on a snow peak on a mountain in Nadeko’s territory. I can"t believe he was willing to become an a.s.sa.s.sin for Paris!" Someone recognized the swordsman.

Fei was surprised as well.

After [One sword] showed off his unstoppable strength and left quietly after shocking everyone, he didn"t expect that he would see the person who was ranked second among all the young warriors and mages in Zenit.

"I"m willing to fight you fairly. If I lose, I will die; but if I win, please let Paris go." This was the first time that [Hidden at Snowpeak] spoke. His voice was deep and was very majestic. Fei had to admit that this prince named Dani was a very nice man. The only thing was that he had a worried expression on his face, as if something was bothering him.

Fei didn"t expect him to beg for mercy for Paris by putting his own life on the line.

"We will talk after we fight."

Fei suddenly stretched out his arms as he roared.

The next second, numerous bright flames appeared on his body. These flames were of various colors. As the flames burned, his chest armour, gauntlets, belt, leggings, and boots all began to emit a powerful sensation that covered Fei"s strong body. He was entirely wrapped in this mysterious set of armour.

This was a set of armour that was different from common armour on Azeroth Continent.

Every piece of the armour shined in a strange light and was engraved with magic arrays and patterns. People could tell that it was powerful by just looking at it. Although it wasn"t like a heavy knight armour, where all parts of the body were cover, every vital spot on Fei"s body was protected. Even all ten of his fingers were protected by the gauntlets. These gauntlets were stronger and more versatile than the metal claw that one of the a.s.sa.s.sins used. It covered his hands tightly. However, it didn"t affect the movement and the sensation Fei would get from touching stuff using his own fingers; the gauntlets were like a pair of iron hands that were born onto Fei.

Fei reached out.

A pair of green and purple dual swords appeared in his hands. These two swords were strangely shaped, but they were sharp and thin.

This was the first time that Fei summoned his barbarian set right in front of people.

After the most powerful set of items that Fei possessed was equipped on himself, Fei"s strength skyrocketed at a scary speed as the crowd watched in shock.

Four-star early-tier……Four-star mid-tier……four star-top-tier……

"She can only decide her fate by herself. Likewise, only you have the ability to save yourself!" When his strength peaked, Fei shook his head and said, "I will only strike once; if you are able to survive after this strike, you can leave here alive."

_______________________________________________________

Chapter 128: Blood and Sword

Hearing Fei immediately refuse his request, [Hidden at Snowpeak] slightly frowned and no longer spoke. He was someone with few words; these types of people were usually persistent and tough, and the things they decided would not be changed even if nine giant dragons tried to pull the words back.

However, silence didn"t mean surrendering.

While channeling a crazy amount of energy, [Hidden at Snowpeak] Dani"s swords began ringing as it turned longer and clearer; it was breathtaking. Lower star level soldiers became dizzy and started vomiting, while other people couldn"t help but cover their ears tightly. The blade was buzzing at an indescribably terrifying frequency, almost turning into a ball of dazzling silver light under the golden sun.

[Hidden at Snowpeak], White Robe Long Sword.

Among the young generation royal family elites in the 250 subsidiary countries in Zenit Empire, Dani was definitely a first-cla.s.s figure with his five-star strength. Even though Fei displayed a whole set of barbarian equipment and his power began skyrocketing again, he still didn"t dare to let his guard down.

Fei adjusted his breath and tightly held the purple and green twin swords.

The atmosphere was oppressing, and there was a brief moment of silence before the storm.

At this time, the most powerful elites on the peak of Eastern Mountain that had the most complete reservation of strength, now began a life and death duel.

Suddenly!

Whew!

The sword is out!

No trembling cry, no energy rushing around like crazy, no earth-shuttering, and not even the dust on the ground flew. The two shadows" speed already exceeded the perceptual limit of the human retina, and the people suddenly noticed Fei and [Hidden at Snowpeak]"s locations had already quietly switched.

Then, a burst of crisp clashes of metal blade and sword exchanging blows finally pa.s.sed into everyone"s ears.

A whirlwind brought up the dust on the ground, drowning the crowd"s attention.

Dust fell.

Then, blood spewed out from Fei"s shoulder, turning the mysterious armor on his body red.

Those people on Paris"s side began cheering at the same time on the Eastern Mountain, but very soon, [Hidden at Snowpeak] Dani"s clothes began turning red in areas as well, and his figure began crumbling, unable to stand firmly.

Struggling to turn around, [Hidden at Snowpeak] looked at the countless small wounds that suddenly appeared on his body, and a desolate bitter smile appeared on his pale face, "You win, but, Your Majesty Alexander, I beg to you to let Ms. Paris go!"

With the sword supporting his body, blood began crazily surging out from the countless small wounds and very quickly moistened the stones and soil nearby. The crowd audiences finally saw very clear. It turned out that just at that instant both sides" figure clashed, Fei"s purple and green duo swords already left countless small wounds on the [Hidden at Snowpeak]"s front chest, arms, legs, abdomen.

Everyone was in dismay. Holy s.h.i.t, in that instant that couldn"t even be captured by the naked eye, just how many strikes did this little King deliver, in order to cause such surprising injuries on a master like [Hidden at Snowpeak]?

Just at that moment, some people have begun to sympathize with this Tier 1 Nadeko Kingdom"s prince. The rumor says that he chose to give up his place because he fell yin love with Paris, and he had been in seclusion on a snow mountain peak for training. Presumably, this time it is also because of Paris that he decided to become an a.s.sa.s.sin. Unfortunately, this might be the end of this hero"s path, not only couldn"t he save the life of his love, he might not even be able to survive.

Heroes treasure heroes, maybe this little king should grant [Hidden at Snowpeak]"s last wish, right?

But—

"I"ve told you before. Your sword can only save yourself. Her life will be decided by herself." Fei shook his head, then brutally refused, "You survived one round, I allow you to leave alive!"

[Hidden at Snowpeak] slightly hesitated.

He laughed once bitterly, left a trail of blood-dripping footprints, slowly walked past Fei, and returned back to behind the cold-blood demon girl Paris. Then, he never talked again, just tightly holding onto the long sword covered in blood.

During this process, Paris didn"t have any reaction.

Her eyes were fixed on the rolling sea of clouds in the distance, not even looking at [Hidden at Snowpeak] once, as if this man in front of her eyes is now completely unrelated to him.

"My turn now?" Paris looked back at Fei calmly, "How many strikes do you want me to take?"

Fei shook his head, with a quite strange smile he said, "You are not my match, so you don"t have to fight me. Although some people want to kill you to eliminate future troubles, but I just need you to do one thing for me, and I can immediately let you leave the Eastern Mountain unharmed."

"Oh, what can I do for you?"

Fei turned around, walked towards the king altar ruins, Paris and others looked over with puzzled eyes, and they just saw Fei slashed a few giant rocks with his sword, and retrieved something from below. Light and delicate design, full of stained blood, yet still exuding golden glory under the sun, flowing a different kind of n.o.ble and gorgeous scent.

That"s the crown of the king.

This crown which should be placed on Fei"s head by the Elder Princess who represents the Zenit Empire, and the crown represents honor and power, symbolizing the ident.i.ty of aristocracy and recognition of all G.o.ds. However, the series of events that took place interrupted Fei"s coronation ceremony, the guard that was holding the crown was also killed in the battle, the King"s Crown was also stained with blood and buried under the gravel

Fei gently waved off the dust on the King"s Crown, then returned to Angela"s side. He put on the brand new set of sky blue King"s robe Angela prepared for him. One hand holding the duo swords, one hand holding the crown, Han looked at Paris and said, "You crown for me, and I will let you leave the Eastern Mountain."

After those words came out, all the people"s face suddenly changed color.

"Crazy? Alexander are you crazy?" The female swordsman Susan snapped, "You actually let a conspirator that attempted to a.s.sa.s.sinate Elder Princess and Prince, a shameless woman without the slightest sense of n.o.bility honor to perform the ceremony for you, do you know what you are doing?"

"You are mad, you shouldn"t do this!" The princes and emissaries on the Elder Princess"s side also started talking.

"Alexander, I think you know very well, what kind of meaning this action entails." [Zenit Empire G.o.d of War] Arshavin"s eyes slightly narrowed, the thin body revealed the murderous scent of iron-blood battlefield.

"Of course I know what I"m doing." Fei didn"t care about the threat inside Arshavin"s tone at all and sneered, "I just want the enemies to bow, to willingly put on the crown for me!"

Letting the enemy put on the King"s Crown for him?

The Eastern Mountain top suddenly quieted down.

These seemingly plain words, actually leaked out a domineering breath. Through the ages, in the continent of Azeroth, there hasn"t been a king that was crowned by the hands of an enemy, nor was there any king that can do it!

The Elder Princess"s sky blue pupils slightly lit up, but, there wasn"t the slightest resentment.

Fei walked to Paris"s side step after step, handed over the golden crown that"s still stained with blood, "Surrender to me, place the King"s Crown for me, then I will leave you a life and let you leave."

"What if I refuse?" Paris suddenly started laughing, reaching out her hand to gently brush her hair that was made a little messy by the wind.

"If you refuse, I"m afraid that there will be one more female ghost on the Eastern Mountain of Chambord City!" Fei"s smile looks extra bright under the golden morning sunlight, but the murderous scent inside the words also made Paris"s heart shake.

A breath of wind blew past.

The cold-blooded demonic woman Paris finally reached out with her slim hands, and under the gaze of everyone"s eyes, she gently took over the golden King"s Crown. Peerless beauty, shining crown, blood stain, morning bright sun, chilly wind, this is a scene that will eternally be carved onto the souls of everyone on the Eastern Mountain. Paris lowered his arrogant and stubborn head, highly held up the bright King"s Crown, and placed it solemnly on the winner"s head.

No flowers nor fireworks, no cheers and screams.

What"s here was the Altar ruins, dust in the wind, broken limbs all over the ground, b.l.o.o.d.y soil and black birds that were flying in the sky that symbolized evil.

This was an unprecedented crowning ceremony.

Looking at this scene, all the survivors of the Zenit Royal Emissary group lost all color on their faces, angry but helpless. Without question, this Chambord city"s little king was already dissatisfied with the Emissary Group, so he used this way to not only cast the unique glory on himself, but also give a big slap to the face of Zenit Empire.

"G.o.d bless the king!"

Chambord City"s people all kneeled on the ground, witnessing the birth of another King of Chambord City.

There was no scepter in Fei"s hand. Wearing a blood-stained golden crown on his head, stepping on the broken ruins, carrying two swords that dripped with blood.

Blood and swords!

This was the main theme of this new generation"s King of Chambord City.

Paris stood with complicated expression in front of Fei. She looked blankly for a bit, then carried the [Hidden at Snowpeak] who"s covered in blood, and flashed in a very strange path, and disappeared from the Eastern Mountain. Fei didn"t chase, he knew that this woman observed the path that the big black dog took earlier and remembered the places without magic trap, and that"s how she could leave this easily.

But what Paris didn"t know is, Fei could have easily changed the location of these magic traps under [a.s.sa.s.sin] mode. But he didn"t do it.

Seeing Paris and [Hidden at Snowpeak] abandoned them and left by themselves, the emissaries and princes of Shanui Kingdom, Chata Kingdom and such all suddenly became speechless due to fear. The two a.s.sa.s.sins with yellow curved blades also wanted to follow the escape path taken by Paris, but were stopped at their original place when Fei"s two swords startled.

"Did the king, I, allow you guys to leave?"
