Hail the King

Chapter 425: Death Moment

“Really? Great!” after hearing the confident statement made by their head commander, the tough generals on the side of Jax were all relieved.

In these few days, the pressure that damn King of Chambord brought them too much pressure; the king pressured the 60,000 soldiers of Jax himself! If there was someone who could deal with him…… No! If there was someone who could take up some of the King of Chambord’s time, it would be easy for the soldiers of Jax to conquer Dual-Flags City.

“It is a great news! But what is His Highness’ solution?”

A lot of the generals were murmuring among themselves.

At this moment –

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A loud thunder-like clip-clopping noise sounded, and shouts and roars sounded afterward. These sounds came from the east direction, and the ground soon started to shake.

“What is going on?”

“Could it be the reinforcement of Zenit? It couldn’t be! The scouts haven’t reported back yet!”

Fairenton and the commanders rushed out of the tent and saw a ton of sand grains flying in the air farther away. The cavaliers who were in black armors were charging towards the campsites of Jax like a flood, and the chilling lights reflecting off of their weapons feared a lot of people.

“Your Highness! A large number of cavaliers of Zenit showed up behind us!” a scout rushed back on a horse and reported to Fairenton as he jumped off of it.

Prince Fairenton walked up on a sand hill while being surrounded by the commanders. After he took a better look, he smiled and said, “There are only about 6,000 cavaliers! Where did the rest of them go? Huh, how dare they attack our campsites with so little soldiers? Pass my order! Tell the troops in the middle to back away and tell the troops on the two edges to move forward. Form a U-shape formation, and let them come into the trap of death……”

“As you wish!”

Bugle sounded, and a few commanders behind the prince hopped onto their horses and rushed towards the troops that have been stretched over a long distance to pass down the orders.

Soon, the situation on the battlefield changed.

The middle portion of the troops started to slowly back away, and they kept their distance with the 6,000 cavaliers of Zenit.

When these 6,000 cavaliers entered the attack range of the archers, the archers on the side of Jax shot out numerous arrows. The arrows almost covered the sunlight, and they pierced into the formation of the cavaliers. The sounds of arrows piercing into flesh resonated in the area and blood spilled in all directions. There were cavaliers of Zenit falling off of their horses at every second, and they were stomped into meat paste by the horses behind them. The scene was really cruel and bloody.

However, this cruel scene couldn’t stop the cavaliers of Zenit.

As the cavaliers charged forward, they all drew out their weapons in silence.

“Charge!”

The commander leading the charge shouted, and the cavaliers increased their speed even more.

The distance between the soldiers of Jax and the cavaliers of Zenit was closing at a fast pace.

Soon, the arrows lost their effectiveness.

After the spearmen and shieldmen of Jax backed off for 200-meters, they finally arranged a defensive formation. Their spears were pointing forward at a 45-degree angle, and their metal shields lifted up; it seemed like these soldiers placed a terrifying metal forest in the desert.

At the moment, the strongest soldiers were leaning forward and pressing against the shields with their shoulders as they waited for the cavaliers of Zenit to collide in with them.

“Spearmen…… throw!”

A Star-level warrior commanded. He was the commander of this formation, and he was standing 20-meters behind the shieldmen with a brown metal armor on him. With calmness on his face but frenzy in his eyes, he calculated the distance between his formation and the cavaliers of Zenit, and he threw out his black iron spear after he empowered it with his Warrior Energy and ordered the spearmen to do the same at the same time.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thousands of spears followed that black iron spear and flew towards the cavaliers, and this was the last range-attack there would be in this battle.

On the other side, the commander leading the charge sensed the intense murderous spirits. With a grin on his face, he reached behind his back and pulled out his huge black sword.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As a series of loud booming noises sounded, hundreds of spears that were flying at him exploded into dust.

A dash of lightning shot out of the clouds of iron dust and struck onto the metal shields ten-meters away. As if lava was poured onto snow, it instantly went through six layers of shields and shot towards that commander of Jax.

That commander’s pupils contracted instantly; he knew that this commander of Zenit was a lightning-elemental warrior, and he knew danger was approaching.

In that split-second, he only had the time to raise his blade and try to block the attack.

In the next second, he sensed a vast indefensible energy flowing inside his body, and he flew back into the air. As his body got numbed, the gasps and shouts of the soldiers around him sounded.

Then, he lost his consciousness.

Boom!

Death arrived, and a blood flower blossomed in the sky.

The flood-like cavaliers collided into the metal forest-like spear and shield formation, and roars and screams both sounded at this moment. Limbs flew into the air, blood spilled in all directions, and the helmets, armors, and weapons of the soldiers from both sides were stained……

This was a war!

A soldier of Jax slashed a cavalier of Zenit as he roared, but his head was pierced by another cavalier using a spear. The spear pierced through his mouth and nailed him onto the ground. Although he was struggling and trying to fight back, the life energy was being drained from his body at an insane rate.

Beside him, another soldier of Jax got half of his head chopped off, and his single eye was staring into the sky that was turning red.

With the thrust from the horses, the cavaliers of Zenit charged into the formation of Jax and started to kill the enemies. At the same time, some of them were pulled down from their horses and got killed by the enemies as well.

……

On a hill not too far away.

The head commander’s flag was fluttering in the wind, and it looked majestic.

The person under the flag was wearing a set of fancy armor, and his dark-red cape was fluttering in the wind as well. Who could it be if it wasn’t Prince Fairenton? At the moment, he was carefully observing the battle.

Beside him, there were two mid-aged men who weren’t wearing metal armors but cloth robes. From their appearances, one could tell that they were not a part of the military. With powerful auras around them, it looked like they were both stronger than Prince Fairenton who was an Eight-Star Warrior.

Since these two were able to stand beside Prince Fairenton, it spoke to how strong they were.

“There is such a powerful warrior on the side of Zenit except for the king of Chambord? Such terrifying lightning-elemental Warrior Energy! It is close to Eight-Star!” after seeing the commander of the cavaliers of Zenit chop open the spear and shield formation, Prince Fairenton who was closely monitoring everything was shocked. He turned around and asked, “Why don’t we have any report on this man from our Military Headquarter?”

A commander behind him who was in charge of information collection and intelligence was confused as well. “We should have all the information. We got all the information on all the masters in [Wolf Teeth Legion]. Where did this Eight-Star Warrior come from? Huh? Your Majesty! His look, his figure, and his black sword…… they remind me of one person……”

“You mean Chambord’s former No.1 warrior Frank Lampard?”

Fairenton had been studying the King of Chambord’s history, and he was very familiar with the people who were close to Fei. Since Lampard was formerly known as the most powerful man in Chambord, he was studied by the prince. However, from the information the prince gathered, it seemed like this man was formally known as the No.1 warrior before because the King of Chambord didn’t show his true color yet. The reports said that Lampard was only a Three-Star Warrior, and Prince Fairenton couldn’t believe that this man’s strength increased so much in a few months.

“It should be him,” that commander behind Fairenton thought about it and said, “This man is mysterious, and he keeps a low-profile. He didn’t participate in the competition hosted in St. Petersburg, and not a lot of people have seen him in battle. But…… but many people believe that he is powerful. After all, all the warriors around the King of Chambord suddenly showed their shocking powers. I think……”

“Eh, you are right,” Fairenton nodded and replied.

He was almost used to strange things happening around the King of Chambord; many things that had happened around the King of Chambord were hard to understand. Prince Fairenton untied the cape from his armor and said, “Since this warrior named Lampard is very close to the King of Chambord, killing him would be like chopping off one of the King Alexander’s arms. I think Alexander would be deeply saddened by it! Hahaha!”

“Your Highness, are you going to battle him yourself?” the commanders around him were shocked.

“Is there anyone else who could take him on?” the prince put on his helmet and asked.

All the commanders around him didn’t an answer to that question.

The Jax Empire did have masters, but there wasn’t one around here. They thought that this troop that had Prince Fairenton who was an Eight-Star Warrior as its head commander would dominate over Dual-Flags City, but the appearance of the monster-like King of Chambord completely turned it around. Although there were more soldiers on Jax’s side, they lacked in the department of masters!

Right now, the prince even had to deal with a normal commander on the side of the enemies himself! To the generals on the side of Jax, this was a huge embarrassment for them.
