Hail the King - Chapter 361

Chapter 361
Publicizing what happened on Martial Saint Mountain was equal to declaring wars against the Jax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire .



As soon as Huntelaar and Costakarta decided to assassinate Martial Saint Krasic, it meant that two more wars were here . Even if Zenit knew that declaring two more wars could bring destruction, the empire had to do so!

This was the iron law of the Azeroth Continent . By sneak-attacking your Martial Saint, it meant that those two empires had already declared war against you!

If Zenit decided to hold back, the empire would be a laughingstock in the eyes of the entire continent!

Fei thought that the Elder Princess was really intelligent and she would definitely try to keep this incident from the public temporarily . It seemed like the best idea was to finish the war with the Spartax Empire in the south first before declaring wars against the Jax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire . After all, it was way too hard for Zenit to battle against three empires at the same time…… No one expected that things would escalate to this degree!

“Is the era of chaos here?”

“What are the officials of Zenit thinking about?”

Fei felt like he no longer understood the situation .

However, his guesses came true .

After less than one hour, the strangely quiet yet anxious atmosphere in St . Petersburg was disrupted .

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop!

The siren on the gates of St . Petersburg sounded, and several messengers rushed out of the Capital with the protection of two dozen black-armored cavaliers . These messengers were heading to all the regions of Zenit and announcing that Zenit was declaring wars against the Jax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire!

Wars were here!

Emotional warriors of Zenit could be seen everywhere, and even the ordinary citizens of Zenit were excited and a little anxious; the death of Krasic had stimulated their unyielding genes .

When in face of danger, even a weak rabbit dared to fight with a strong lion . Although the Zenit Empire was weak compared to the three empires combined, the people of Zenit didn’t lack the will to fight .

Since Krasic resided on Martial Saint Mountain for the last 26 years, everyone at Zenit felt the benefit he brought . All the respect and love the people of Zenit had towards the Martial Saint of Zenit were converted into anger, and there were a lot of warriors who were wearing black hairbands; that was a way to pay respect to Krasic . These people all circled the military headquarter and wanted the military to directly attack the Capitals of the Eindhoven Empire and the Jax Empire!

Everyone was in a state of frenzied .

Fei saw a type of dangerous and triggered expression on the people’s faces .

It seemed like the entire empire was walking on a dangerous path and was losing control .

This might be planned from the beginning . Fei smelled a sense of craze from what was happening, especially after the large military conscription .

At noon, Fei got summoned by the Royal Family of Zenit .

……



St . Petersburg .

Residential Region .

Inside the building that Lkunta from the Spartax Empire stayed in .

Three people were sitting in the main hall that was very messy, and they looked at each other as they appeared very frightened . Who could have thought that they were all powerful warriors from their scared and anxious expressions?

These three warriors were No . 1 General of the Eindhoven Empire Costakarta, No . 1 Swordsman of the Jax Empire Huntaleer, and the Moon-Class Elite from the Spartax Empire Amauri .

They thought they would be able to escape from St . Petersburg after they got onto the Griffins, but they were all knocked down from the sky by that person . They were originally severely injured, and falling down from the sky increased the severity even more . If they weren’t aware of their surroundings and weren’t smart individuals, they would have been found by the warriors and soldiers of Zenit .

“Who could have thought that person is still able to strike? Could it be that the news about his old injuries worsening is fake?” Huntelaar was very frightened by the golden dragons he saw last night .

Currently, the No . 1 Swordsman from the Jax Empire had a lot of blood on him . His right arm that was broken from the high-fall was already recovered, but all the wounds on his body were still not healed as he couldn’t get rid of the terrifying green energy in his body .


“If that man is fine, then the plan we worked on for so many years is useless . ” Amauri was also very injured . A huge wound stretched from his shoulder to his abdomen, and blood was still flowing out as the green energy was still visible on the wound . After all, this injury was caused by Heavenly Sword as well .

“It is not that bad . ” Costakarta who was silent for a long time suddenly spoke, “If he is fine, we probably would have been killed last night . Who can live under [Dragon Fist] that was cast with full strength? Since he didn’t kill us, it means that he is weak and might die at any second . ”



“Right!” Huntelaar’s and Amauri’s eyes lit up after they heard that .

They both were powerful figure and were very intelligent . In normal circumstances, they would have seen through everything . However, that man’s fame was as bright as the sun, and no genius was able to stand up against him . The two of them were terrified of that man, and they were in a state of unease after they saw [Dragon Fist] . That was why they didn’t think everything through .

“We prepared for so many years and spent numerous money and resources . More than 10,000 people from more than 10 empires sacrificed their lives, and we got more than 10,000 messages from them after they sneaked into the Royal Palace of Zenit . After more than 1,000 operations and 10,000 tests, we are sure that he couldn’t live any longer . Right now, he is close to dying! A dragon without its claws and teeth is not scary . This operation failed because we didn’t expect the St . Germain Empire to betray the agreement that we had . ” Costakarta collected his thoughts and continued, “To some degree, this operation isn’t a complete failure . Although I’m not sure how Krasic got so powerful, I’m sure that it cost him dearly! He was already severely injured before the battle, and he won’t be able to recover for four to five years even if he didn’t die!”

“That is true . ” Confidence reappeared on Huntelaar’s face, “With injuries to that severity, he couldn’t recover in a short time even if the Moon-Class Elite Priests from the Holy Church help him . Since the relationship between Zenit and the Holy Church is this hostile, I’m sure he will get no help . Hahaha! Zenit is like a coyote that lost its claws; it is no longer a threat . ”

Amauri nodded as he heard that .

Costakarta lightly let go of his breath .

He said all that because he wanted to calm down Huntelaar and Amauri and alleviate some of their stress . Since they were all stuck at St . Petersburg and lost more than half of their strength, they could be found if they weren’t careful; if that happened, they would lose a layer of their skins even if they didn’t die . At a critical time like this, they needed to be calmer and more patient .

This was the big difference between real generals and powerful warriors .

After some thoughts, Costakarta continued, “However, we need to pay more attention to that young man who used green and red dual swords . He is able to last more than 10 minutes when battling me, and he looks like he is in his twenties! That is shocking! I saw a similar level of talent in him compared to that man! We have to kill him soon, or he would become a huge issue for us in the future!”

“You mean King Alexander?” Amauri nodded and said, “That little king deserves our attention . He had killed the No . 1 Executioner of Spartax before, and I tried to assassinate him after seeing his talent . Too bad that he escaped in time and my appearance attracted Krasic!”

Both Amauri and Costakarta fought with Fei before, and they didn’t dare to underestimate the strength of this young king .

However, Huntelaar didn’t think so . This No . 1 Swordsman of the Jax Empire was very haughty, and he sneered and replied with an arrogant expression, “Humph! He is only a small king of an affiliated kingdom . Is he worthy of our attention? I can just kill him after I recover!”

Amauri and Costakarta looked at each other and didn’t say anything else . They knew it was useless trying to convince this swordsman, and arguing would only cause trouble for them since they were in such a dangerous situation .

At this time, some noises sounded inside the building .

The three men tensed up .

“Don’t worry, it is Lanji . ” Costakarta listened carefully to the noise, and he was relieved instantly .

Soon, a series of footsteps sounded, and a pretty figure walked into the hall . This young girl was wearing a normal Zenit style female robe, and her long black hair was tied together by a white floral band . Her skin tone was dark, and her muscles made her look explosive yet wildly beautiful .

She was carrying a cheap food box made from tree branches in her arms, and Fei would have immediately recognized her if he was here . This girl was the female guard who was saved from Fei’s blades by Costakarta last night .

“Father . ” The young girl saluted Costakarta first, and she then looked at the other two Moon-Class Elites and said, “Two misters, I went and bought some food . You guys can eat first . ”

The delicious smell of food instantly filled the hall .

“Are there any good news?” Costakarta asked as he ate and restored his stamina .

“Everything is clear . The officials of Zenit didn’t hide anything, and what happened on Martial Saint Mountain is known publicly . There is a very good news!” The girl paused for a second before she said, “Not long after we left, Martial Saint Krasic died from the severe injuries!”
