Chapter 170: Conquer the fortress, leave no lives behind! (Part one)
“I’m the king of Chambord.”
Every time Fei said it before, he felt very cool and dominating. If exaggerated a little bit more, one could say that he had an aura around him, as if he was the king of the world. However, when he said it this time, he felt like he could only look at the two people in front of him.
However, elder Zolasc was obviously stunned.
The expression on his face turned from loss to shock, to wild joy, to indescribable excitement and finally chagrin. Like a little kid who had been bullied and finally saw his parents, he hugged onto Fei’s thigh and stared crying out loud.
“Boo-hoo…”
He suddenly let loose all the emotions that were oppressed inside of him.
The elder’s voice was hoa.r.s.e and dry, as if his tongue that was cut off didn’t grow back yet. The sound shot directly out of his throat. It sounded like the cry of a dying beast, like the surging current of a river that broke through the dam, like a hundred meter long defense wall collapsing under the strike of a huge force. and like the roar of a sprout that grew from under a heavy rock. Fei always disliked men who cried, but for some reason he felt his eyes getting a bit wet upon hearing this complex, yet straightforward sob.
The thin and bamboo-like young boy Modric was completely stunned beside the elder.
“He is the king of Chambord?”
“This is this Saint King who pa.s.sed the saint-like statues and the law?”
“This is the Saint King of Chambord who swiped the joint force from nine other kingdom that uncle Zolasc was talking about?”
“Yeah.” The more Modric thought about it, the more he understood, “It must be him! Except for our king of Chambord, who else could arrive in front of me from the sky with other powerful warriors, and who could kill all the demon soldiers of Blackstone for a little Chambord boy like me? Who else could heal uncle Zolasc who was on the verge of dying like a G.o.d?”
“It can’t be anyone else except for him!”
A huge sense of satisfaction and thrill filled this thin boy’s body.
“Your majesty… You… you are finally here…” This was the first thing that the elder said to Fei. Zolasc was a very wise person who had experienced a lot of things. After a short moment, his cool returned. He pointed at the mountain made out of corpses in the pit with his finger as tears dripped down his wrinkly face. With his eyes filled with anger and hate, he said, “They are all our Chambord’s citizens…”
“What?” Fei was shocked; he felt like he was mishearing, “All… all of them?”
In the pit, there were more than a thousand cold corpses. From the injuries, Fei could tell that they were all tortured to death. A missing leg or an arm was very common as there weren’t any complete corpses; the scene was terrifying… Fei thought this was the burying pit for all the slaves who died from exhaustion or beating in the mines, but all of these people were from Chambord?! Since when did so many people from Chambord end up being enslaved here?
“… For all these years, Blackstone Kingdom has been behind all this. There are at least three to four thousand people from Chambord who were captured by mercenaries, by groups who captured people for slavery, and by other kingdoms due to war. They were all brought here to work in these mining pits. Everyone who came here three to four years ago had all died; no one could survive the dark mining pits, the lack of food, and the beating of the supervising soldiers for more than three years. Also, since Chambord and Blackstone were enemies with deep hatred towards each other, slaves from Chambord suffered the most out of all the slaves here; there were slaves from Chambord who were almost beaten to death by the guards using iron chains every day. In the last month, your majesty’s name and your story of beating the joint forces from the nine kingdoms has been spread around, and that threatened the king of Blackstone. Under his anger and hatred, the torture that Chambord’s citizens experience became even worse. For the last half month, these inhuman demons tortured and killed more than a thousand slaves from Chambord!”
Elder Zolasc’s thoughts become clearer and clearer. He used the simplest words to describe the tragic history of the Chambord slaves at these mining pits. Fei stared at every single cold corpse in the pit in silence; he could see every that single one of his citizens suffered a horrifying death from all the torture and screams. He could almost see the wronged souls that were floating in front of him and telling him about the cruelties of Blackstone; he felt like they were asking him where the king of Chambord was when they were suffering through this.
Resentment soared into the sky, and everyone at Blackstone Fortress felt it.
Chapter 170: Conquer the fortress, leave no lives behind! (Part Two)
The sky was bright, but suddenly the wind started to blow. Then, a ton of dark cloud started to appear from a side of the sky. Soon, the clouds covered the entire sky and made everything very dark as everyone felt a terrifying storm in the making.
“Who else is still alive?” Fei asked: “Where are they now?”
“Four days ago, all the survivors from Chambord were gathered together and locked up at the underground water dungeon in this Blackstone Fortress. I heard that the Blackstone King was getting ready to kill them all to vent his anger…” A concerned expression appeared on Zolasc’s face when he said that.
Fei held his fists tightly.
He looked at Blackstone Fortress below the cliff that looked very organized and tight with a decisive expression on his face. He made a decision, “King of Blackstone, humph! He will pay for his actions with blood. The entire Blackstone Kingdom will be wiped out… As the king of Chambord, I swear on it!”
“Let’s go!”
Fei grabbed onto Modric and Zolasc and jumped down the hundred meter tall cliff like a bird. When they were about twenty meters above the ground, Fei switched to Druid Mode and summoned a big bird in front of them. He stepped onto the back of this giant raven with his toes and to stop falling as he and the other two landed on the ground safely.
Modric, who had seen Fei’s power, was already used to this, but it was the elder Zolasc’s first time seeing anyone this powerful. He was shocked, but when he remember that this young man was the twenty fifth king of Chambord, he became every excited again. “All the rumors are true; the king of Chambord does have an unbelievable power!” He thought.
In a few leaps, he had already returned to that square.
At this moment, the situation changed.
The soldiers of Blackstone were already forming into groups and charging towards Chambord’s forces through all streets and back alleys. They soon tightly circled around Chambord’s Expeditionary Force. Shouting and battle noises sounded, and many corpses were on the ground at the battle’s frontline; however, they were all blacked armored soldiers of Blackstone.
Without Fei’s command, Chambord’s Expeditionary Force only defenced and didn’t attack.
Even so, more than a hundred Chambord’s soldiers were like large stones in a fast current. They weren’t backing off and were virtually indestructible. Every time the black flood rushed onto the stone, they were smashed into pieces and bled severely.
“Die!”
Fei roared as he raised his hand. The druid’s elemental power rushed and circled around his hand, and then a red beam of fire dashed into the Blackstone soldiers.
The dim red beam of fire was around the thickness of an arm. There was no magic surging around it, and it looked harmless. Therefore, the soldiers of Blackstone didn’t pay attention to it, and some of them even mocked it.
But that this moment, things changed –
When this red beam was about two meters away from the ground, this flame suddenly bulged and turned into a dark red spherical ball that was about three meters in diameter. Spider web-like slits and cracks were on the fireball, and every single crack emitted terrifyingly hot orange flames. It smashed onto the ground and instantly killed five Blackstone soldiers who couldn’t get away.
However, the nightmare wasn’t over.
When the fireball landed on the ground, it started to roll with the momentum towards the crowd. Everywhere it went, lava floated out of the cracks and created fiery walls about two meters high. The terrifying fires burnt the soldiers around it into ash; even their weapons and armors were turned into metal liquid…
It was the Druid’s skill – [Molten Boulder].
The chaotic elemental power summoned a huge lava stone that smashed all the enemies into ashes. It was one of the two Druid’s skills that Fei had aside from summoning and shape shifting skills. It was perfect for a ground battle.
Whoosh-!
A series of red beams of fire shot out of Fei’s hands, and all of them turned to [Molten Boulders]. Except for where Chambord’s Expeditionary Force was standing, everywhere else turned into a sea of fire. The screams and cries of Blackstone soldiers resonated in the sky!
Boom!
Fei landed beside Lampard.
“Your majesty…” The six masters of Chambord came close to him. They relaxed when they saw that Fei was okay.
“Warriors’ of Chambord, listen to my order… Kill!” Fei pa.s.sed Zolasc and Modric to soldiers around him as he switched back to Barbarian Mode. His hands reached into the air and he grabbed onto the purple and green dual swords as two lights flashed by. He shouted, “Kill! Leave no lives behind! Wipe this Blackstone Fortress clean!”
At this time, the [Molten Boulder] had already disappeared, and the elemental power dispersed into the air. The fire slowly went out, but these magic strikes had killed three to four hundred Blackstone soldiers. The unbelievable power scared these soldiers to death. Although they had a numbers advantage, they didn’t dare charge at Chambord’s soldiers anymore.
Under Fei’s command, the fifty Saint Seiyas turned into six groups under the six powerful warriors’ lead and charged into their enemies, and b.l.o.o.d.y rain started to fall from the sky.
Chapter 171: Undefeated (Part 1)
Although Chambord city’s Saint Seiyas hadn’t partic.i.p.ated in too many b.l.o.o.d.y head-on confrontations, but the individual strength enhancement from the [Hulk Potion] was able to make up for their lack of experience. Faced with the elite soldiers of the Black Stone Kingdom, every soldier demonstrated terrifying fighting strength. Shields that weighed hundreds of pounds and axes of exaggerated shapes felt like weightless straws in their hands. When swinging, strong gales of wind would follow, and the moment a Black Stone soldier came into contact with it, they would immediately wish they were never born.
Clang~
With giant axes swinging through, any weapons, shields, or armor would feel like paper, immediately shattering into pieces.
Whew~
One shield bash forward, dozens of enemies would fly like kites, struggling hopelessly as they puked out blood and flew into the sky.
This was the most head-on confrontation!
A fierce collision between brute forces!
In such a battle, not a single ordinary soldier of the Black Stone Army could receive one blow from Chambord City’s Saint Seiyas.
The situation was just one-sided, like a group of tigers charging into a herd of sheep. Since the very beginning, it was an asymmetrical battle, an unilateral oppressive ma.s.sacre. Despite the great number on Black Stone’s side, the narrow street designs inside the Black Stone fortress became their own nightmare. In the past, they would take advantage of this design to slowly kill off their enemies, but at this moment, this field limited their ability to capitalize on their numbers advantage. The six groups of Saint Seiyas, under Lampard and the other 5 elite masters’ leadership, were like 6 ruthless lawn mowers. Their blades relentlessly advanced roaring, and all that the Black Stones soldiers could do were to fall row by row as they like helpless gra.s.s, and whine like little b.i.t.c.hes…
“Thunder Lightning Fist!!!”
A flashing electric light exploded from Lampard’s hand, like a blinding sun just appeared in the crowd, suddenly stunning countless Black Stone soldiers. Then, a fist that couldn’t be tracked by vision landed again and again on the soldiers in front of this red-haired man. The figures in front of him felt like sacks of dusts flying all over the sky, and then turning into b.l.o.o.d.y mist under the explosions as they began to fall down.
“Corpse-Piling Shock Wave!!”
After the second growth stage, the 2-meter tall meat-mountain warden Oleg roared. His whole body of fat began to tremble, and then he leaned over, suddenly punching fiercely into the ground. Under the loud rumbling sound, two huge spider web-like cracks with his fists as the center quickly began spreading forward.
At the next moment, a shockwave undetectable by the naked eye suddenly appeared in the ground, and with countless click and snap sounds, all the Black Stone soldiers within a 20 meters radius in front of Oleg suddenly stopped. A gust of wind flew past, and something appalling happened – a fissure appeared in the fixed soldiers’ body. The crack grew larger and bigger, and finally, their skin, skeleton, hair, armor, shield, along with the weapons in their hand, all fell down to the ground like a collapsed sand statue.
This was a new ultimate skill Oleg had learned from Fei.
The two fists would pour all the physical strength and energy force into the earth, and then through a special channel of energy it would trigger an invisible super frequency shockwave. This was a terrifying and deadly shock wave, capable of quietly shattering any solid material. It carried the breath of death, and it was hard to guard against!
After one move, ahead of Oleg was 46 neatly stacked meat and blood piles mixed with metal sc.r.a.ps.
The scene was b.l.o.o.d.y and scary.
The [Corpse-Piling Shock Wave] scroll was created after Fei reached level 28 with his [a.s.sa.s.sin mode] with a few references to the [Necromancer mode]. After reaching level 28, with the help of the newly gained energy channels, Fei explored the corresponding energy channels in the real world, and also studied the earth-style energy scroll that he looted from the four-star magician Evans’s dimension ring. He then ultimately created this scroll.
Fei named this scroll [Corpse-Piling Shock Wave] after the Saint Seiya Death Mask’s skill Corpse Underworld Wave, demonstrating his obsession with that anime once again. The style actually suited Warden Oleg. This guy also used to be a villain, and he often dealt with the dead so he carried a scent of death. This scroll was basically tailor-made for Oleg. 15 days ago Fei bestowed this scroll onto Oleg as a reward for starting and taking care of the paper-making factory and sewage system when he was on hiatus. A few hours ago, this fatty finally mastered a few keys in this skill, and the effect was already incredible for a first-time user.
It’s just that with his current physical strength and energy level, such a skill could only be used once within a short period of time and needed a certain recovery period.
But this time, it was enough to terrify the Black Stone soldiers, and no one dared to stay in front of Oleg anymore.
Of course, as for showing off, the two professionals Paul Pierce and Drogba definitely wouldn’t let the fat man take away the glory. Right when Oleg was using his ultimate, the two Saint Seiya both used their own ultimate skills!
“Ex.x.xxxcaaaaaaaalliiiiiiiburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The Capricorn Saint Seiya shouted in the most exaggerating way possible. A golden light flashed on his arm, and instantly, his right arm incredibly became an indestructible golden sword. Gently waving it in the air, an invisible sword breath surged up and silently crosscut through.
Shua~
Chapter 171: Undefeated (Part 2)
Instantly, the 60 or so enemies within 20 meters in front were clearly cut in half at the waist, including their armor and the weapons in their hands. Even the castle wall behind them had a 1-meter deep sword cut in it. Many soldiers didn’t even feel any pain, let alone know what was happening. Their feet were still running but the upper half of their body was stopped in place…
“Giiiiigaaaaaaanttttttttiiccccccccccccccccccccccccc Hoooooooornnnnnnnnnnnn!”
The Taurus Saint Seiya Drogba’s huge body leaned slightly forward. A golden light flashed on his head, and a golden helmet with two s.e.xy giant horns appeared. In the next instant, Drogba’s legs unleashed explosive strength which sent him sprinting forward! They saw that all the enemies that got in his way had their bodies shattered into pierces, and suddenly heads, arms, legs, bodies, b.u.t.ts, began flying everywhere…
Such a simple charge of about 30 meters sent 60 soldiers to h.e.l.l.
Aftering witnessing this incredible scene, the old man Zola and the thin boy Modrich that were situated inside the Chambord army’s protection circle went through the emotional stages of the initial shock, to the current state of blood-boiling. Even though, in the past, the fame of the Chambord King and the knights under his command had already been spread to their ears, which lit the fire of hope as their body went through all kinds of painful torture and supported them through all hardship… even though they once fantasized about how mighty the Chambord King and his army were… but even with the most optimistic fantasies, they did not imagine that they would see what they are seeing now…
Powerful!
Too powerful!
This degree of strength had gone far beyond the imagination of all Chambord citizens that were enslaved here.
Old man Zola couldn’t help but let his tears roll down his wrinkled face. Thank f*cking G.o.d, our Chambord City finally has a mighty king and powerful knights that can protect its people! Such a sudden feeling of happiness was so unreal, Zola and Modrich both tried to rub their eyes, scared that at the next instant they would come to the realization that it was just an illusion.
As their blood was boiling, the young man that saved them both, the back image of Chambord’s King Alexander, suddenly transformed into a purple and green light in the mad wind. Everywhere he went past, all the enemies from Black Stone Kingdom were sliced in half. Even those star-tier warriors that were normally well-respected and normally referred to as elites were not able to survive for an instant under the Chambord King’s sword.
This was a truly unrivaled king!
“Shoot arrows! Hurry and shoot arrows!”
A sharp, angry voice suddenly came from above the walls of the Black Stone Fortress, and this loud voice finally snapped those Black Stone archers that stood in the mountains back to reality. They fought back their fear and began pulling on their bow.
“Black Stone King, I’ve waited for you for a long time!”
Fei shouted, he suddenly leaped up and shot himself towards the cliff where the sound came from. The purple and green swords disappeared, and Fei’s two fists brutally struck the mountain side with terrifying strength!
During this time, in addition to killing all the elites that could pose a threat to the Saint Seiyas, Fei had been searching for the Black Stone King’s hideout. He was certain, under this situation, such an ambitious and brutal king would surely hide at a corner to command his army. During that morning, Fei already remembered the Black Stone King’s voice, and when that voice sounded, Fei was immediately certain that the speaker was definitely the Black Stone King.
Rumble!
Two terrifying punches bombarded the mountain side, and the steep mountain wall suddenly exposed a 2-meter wide and deep pit. A large amount of gravel fell down. There was indeed a hidden chamber on the mountain side, and the people hidden inside were instantly killed by the shockwave.
Fei swept past the dead bodies, and noticed that the enemy king was not among them.
But, a simple small magic seal appeared in Fei’s vision, and it was destroyed.
Fei suddenly understood what happened. This was a very simple voice transmission magic seal, just like a speaker in his past life, it could broadcast words from elsewhere to here and amplify it… Looks like the Black Stone King was talking out of this magic seal just now.
“Chambord King, you dare to attack my Black Stone Fortress! You breached the imperial law, hehe, don’t get too happy, sooner or later you will be trialed by the Empire’s judgement team!”
Black Stone King’s voice echoed in the valley.
“Go f*ck yourself! You harmed my people, I will slaughter your entire city…” Fei roared, “When thousands of people from my city died at that death pit in the back mountains of your Fortress, how come the Imperial Law didn’t cross your mind? Black Stone Kingdom must pay the price for what it did! I swear to the G.o.d of War, Your Majesty the King Alexander swears with the royal glory of Chambord City, I will kill the Black Stone King, and destroy Black Stone City!”
