Chapter 1142: 1142
Kakroom!
When it was almost afternoon, the dark heavy clouds turned into a downpouring rain after a loud thunder .
The rain poured down relentlessly, each drop was as big as pearls as they smashed onto the land loudly .
The people of the city quickly took shelter but despite escaping the rain, the people's curious gazes were glued to a group of men on the main street of Forest City .
The group contained quite a number of men, starting from the core of the temple, each of them would stand opposite another man and the pair would be 3 meters apart from the next pair . The line of men was extended towards the entrance of Forest City but the most concerning part was their outfits .
Each of the men was wearing bright and glaring armor, a longsword was attached to their waist and despite it being sheathed, it didn't conceal the glares of the blade .
Every one of them had a big kite shield in front of them, it was black overall and had a blood raven icon on top, extending its wings .
The people who saw the shield felt like raven's caw was echoing in their ears .
"What happened?" the people wondered .
However, as the citizens of Forest City, they knew what was the right move for them .
All the people stood beside and watched, no questions were asked and no one was going to step up and cause trouble or stop them .
The unlucky bastards from the past told them what the consequences were for doing so .
Under the curious gazes of the people, Hayden Ow was nervously waiting .
He shouldn't be this nervous but when he thought about what Ren told him about that lord, the branch manager of Forest City couldn't hold back his shivers .
He had longed for the independence of Funeral Society for a while now and he had enough of living under another's thumb .
Even though serving under a new Majesty still had some rules and limitations, the removed shackles were enough for his hard work to show its best effect, hence guaranteeing completion of what the new Majesty ordered .
Fuaaaa! Huaaaa!
The rain got bigger .
The heavy rain even disrupted Hayden Ow's vision .
Fortunately, technology being on the rise allowed the branch manager to not suffer delays in his operation .
"His Majesty has arrived!"
The voice from his earpiece ushered Hayden Ow to give his orders .
Chang!
The big kite shield that stood in front of the guards on both sides of the street were picked up by their respective owners, the longswords together with their sheaths were laid horizontally in front of the kite shield .
The iron surfaced kite shields were knocked with the sheathed swords in a rhythmic manner as though they were war drums .
Dang, Dang Dang!
Even the rain was overpowered by the unified clunks, the downpouring rain felt like nothing to the guards as they were concentrating in knocking their shields .
Gawk!
Under the rainy veil, a scarlet red aviary figure soared across the raindrops and flew towards the sky .
It was very fast, to the point that no one at the scene could catch a glimpse of what it was, even Hayden Ow with the best eyesight could barely make out the aviary figure .
But!
It was enough!
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Hayden Ow knelt down on one knee .
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
The guards standing on both sides of the street knelt down together on one knee as well .
The clunking from their swords and shield stopped but the rain was still overpowered by the sonorous greeting .
The sonorous greeting even rolled up the raindrops like waves and it still wasn't the end; the raindrops were being blown away by the sound .
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
"Welcome, Your Majesty!"
Three sonorous greetings caused the wind to blow .
At the end of the street entrance, a car broke through the rainy veil and appeared in people's sight .
It was just an extremely common car but under the situation, the normal car wasn't that normal anymore .
Likewise, the person inside the car wouldn't be normal as well .
The driver, Inspector Oaker had sweats all over his forehead and his hands gripping the steering wheel was slightly shivering .
He was overwhelmed by the scene and after he gulped down a mouth full of saliva, he turned around to the old monk at the passenger seat and Kana and Tanya at the backseat .
"Did they get something wrong?" Oaker asked .
"Um, His Majesty Bird of Death didn't travel with us . "
"He told us to rendezvous with him here," the old monk replied without showing any extra expression .
His apostolic living throughout the years allowed the old monk to never change his expression even if the sky crumbled or the earth cracked .
