Hail the King

Chapter 382: Save

The man who was leading the charge on the black beast was unstoppable. With two axes in his hands, nothing could slow him down. The soldiers of Jax were all killed under his axes, and no one was able to get within four meters from him.

It was impossible for the soldiers of Jax to stop the charge.

As chaos arrived, a shout resonated on the battlefield.

“The herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion] is here under the command of Emperor Yassin His Majesty! Soldiers of Dual-Flags City, prepare to open the gate and let the reinforcement into the city.

“Your Highness, we should give up on the siege and concentrate the forces to surround these 6000 cavaliers of Zenit,” a strategist beside the haughty figure suggested after he saw the cavaliers of Zenit crushing the soldiers of Jax who weren’t mentally prepared for this.

Ribry who was barely standing up wasn’t too far away from the hill, and he panicked after he heard that!

“Even though the reinforcement is far stronger than I thought, there are only about 6,000 of them. If the enemies are really going to surround them with the 60,000 soldiers and slowly tire them out, they would be in danger! Even that magnificent archer would die as well!” he thought.

Silence.

After a moment of silence, that haughty figure shook his head and said, “No need. Call the treat and stop the siege; let the reinforcement of Zenit get into the city. The soldiers of Zenit are highly motivated at this moment, and we shouldn’t waste the lives of our Jax warriors. Haha! This city is dead! It is not safer in there. Although these cavaliers are good, they would lose their mobility and speed; they would never be able to get out of this city ever again!”

Soon, bugle noises sounded.

The soldiers of Jax quickly retreated in an orderly fashion.

The soldiers of Jax who already got onto the defense walls of Dual-Flags City used siege ladders and ropes to get down, and more than 100 mages of Jax who already levitated off of the ground in the command center came back down as well; they all stopped casting powerful and destructive spells.

In just a few moments, more than 40,000 soldiers of Jax who were sieging the city all backed away 1,000 meters from the defense walls.

Dual-Flags City that was about to fall was temporarily safe again.

Since the soldiers of Jax tried to avoid the reinforcement of Zenit, the 6,000 cavaliers of Zenit quickly broke through the 60,000 soldiers of Jax as they were led by that super powerful archer. They easily penetrated through layers of formations of Jax that stretched over 3,000 meters and got to the gate of Dual-Flags City with a trail of blood behind them.

It took less than 10 minutes for the cavaliers of Zenit to get through the enemies, and they killed more than 1,000 enemies along the way with only a dozen casualties.

“Wolf Teeth! Defend!”

As a series of loud bugles sounded, the cavaliers turned around in unison and placed down a defensive formation. As they looked at the soldiers of Jax that were retreating, the gate behind them slowly opened.

After seeing this, the haughty figure on the hill sighed and said, “That archer of Zenit sure is powerful. It would be great if I can recruit him and make him one of my generals!”

All the commanders of Jax beside him didn’t say anything; they knew that their prince who loved talented and geniuses was at it again.

“Hahaha! You are dreaming!”

Frank Ribry finally let go of the breath he was holding in after he saw the cavaliers of Zenit getting through the formations of Jax easily. When he heard the head commander of Jax say that, he laughed loudly; it was filled with mockery. Just being able to see this haughty figure getting owned made Ribry’s day; he felt like he could die happy now.

That haughty figure turned his head and stared at Ribry coldly.

If he wanted to, he could turn Ribry into blood mists with a single finger.

However, he ended up laughing calmly.

“What is so funny? You are only a loser, and your life is in my hand. I have many ways to make you regret being born…… Hahaha, look! Your comrades even gave up on you. They entered the city and can live for a few more days; you, on the other hand, will die if I want you to!”

“Dying on the battlefield is the honor of a soldier! Why would I be afraid?” Ribry said fearlessly.

“Haha! Great! You are truly a warrior. But if I hang you on a cross in front of the city under the brutal sun, would your comrades come to save you?” a terrifying light flashed in this haughty figure’s eyes as he said that.

Ribry’s face changed color.

He knew that his enemies were going to use him as a bait to bait out his brother-like comrades.

“Your Highness, look!” at this moment, a commander of Jax suddenly shouted as he pointed at the direction of Dual-Flags City.

Ribry looked that way subconsciously, and he was shocked to see a man charging at this hill on his mount; this man was that invincible archer.

As if it was an answer to the question that the haughty figure asked, this man charged at the 60,000 soldiers of Jax on his own.

Everyone knew why that archer was coming this way.

He was here to save this commander of Zenit named Frank Ribry.

But saving someone from 60,000 enemies on his own?

“Is this guy crazy?”

Ribry got anxious; he wanted to shout and tell this mighty archer to not come here and save him by risking his own life.

Ribry knew how powerful this haughty commander of Jax was; he was defeated by this man who simply punched at him once, so this man was at least a Six-Star or Seven-Star Warrior! On top of that, there were hundreds of powerful commanders and tens of thousands of elite soldiers beside him.

It was suicide!

There was no chance of success.

Ribry felt extremely guilty; he knew he would feel even worse if such a powerful warrior of Zenit was killed because of him.

However, he couldn’t shout due to his severe injuries. When he opened his mouth, he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He got even more anxious because of that, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Arrows were being shot out by this archer, and everything in their ways were destroyed completely.

“Shields!”

The commanders in the herald legion of Jax shouted, and more than a dozen huge tower-shields were placed in front of the archer.

As long as the speed of this archer was slowed, the soldiers of Jax could eventually kill him using the numbers advantage.

Whoosh!

The answer to the tower-shields was the same – terrifying arrows!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As loud noises sounded, the huge iron tower-shield in the middle that was more than three meters tall exploded.

It was a terrifying scene. The shield broke, and numerous iron chips flew back with speed. The soldiers of Jax who were behind the shield were instantly damaged; the iron chips pierced through their bodies and organs. As they fell to the ground and whined in pain, that archer already jumped over them with his black mount like lightning.

“Humph! Let me see how long he can last!” the haughty figure said coldly. “Send my order to the herald legion! Surround and kill this archer of Zenit!”

Bugle noises sounded again.

The formations on the side of Jax slowly changed as all the soldiers moved.

The soldiers of Jax who were at the two ends of the formation moved forward and made a U-shape, and a lot more soldiers stood in front of the hill that was the command center of Jax. Some mages cast levitation spells on themselves, and they started to summon magic elements in mid-air.

“Arrows!”

After a commander shouted, bowstring vibration noises sounded. A ton of arrows appeared in the air like locusts, and they were all aiming at that one man and his mount.

All of these arrows were expensive Penetration Arrows, and they were shot out by strong bows. They were powerful; they could easily penetrate through iron plates that were half a centimeter thick and the Warrior Energy Flames of Two-Star Warriors 100 meters away. They were used to kill the elite forces what were fully armored in battle, and they were also used to kill some mighty Star-level Warriors.

This arrow shower was genuinely terrifying.

Many commanders on the side of Jax believe that this mighty archer of Zenit was going to be severely injured at least if not killed.

However –

Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!

It seemed like this archer didn’t mind these arrows at all! For some reason, he put away his bow, and his aura changed a little as well. This little change had enormous consequences.

The terrifying Penetration Arrows that were shot out by strong bows all stopped in mid-air when they were one meter away from him.

This archer’s speed didn’t slow down at all.

He was so fast that he left a dusty trail behind him, and the wind created by him blew all the arrows that were frozen in the air into the sky like straws. After that, they all fell to the ground weakly.

That man and his mount charged into the herald legion of Jax.

Too fast!

Before the soldiers of Jax could change their formations and deal with him, he already passed them.

The soldiers of Jax all rushed at him like flood and wanted to stop him, but the huge power difference couldn’t be equalized by numbers and fearless spirits. All the soldiers that charged at him were knocked back even faster, and that archer on the back of the black beast punched out and turned many soldiers of Jax into blood mists.

As the archer attacked, the black beast didn’t slow down at all. It sprinted by the soldiers of Jax, and the wind created by it even blew some soldiers into the sky.

The man and his mount easily penetrated through the herald legion in less than five seconds.
