Hail the King Chapter 406: Sensation of [Dragon Fist]

Chapter 406: Sensation of [Dragon Fist]
Fei quickly found the cause of his insomnia; when he lied on the bed that wasn’t too hard, he was missing that warm and soft female body.
Fei realized that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would start thinking about his fiancée. He couldn’t help but start worrying, “Angela is with the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] …… is she safe right now? Is she missing me as well?”
Fei arrived at Dual-Flags City with the 6,000 soldiers in the herald brigade beforehand, and the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] that had 34,000 soldiers in it was being led by people like old Aryang, Lampard, [Magic Princess], and [Silver Armored Vicious Sword]. The rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] was approaching Dual-Flags City at a steady pace, and they were doing their best to integrate properly.
Angela, Emma, [Fallen Princess] Isabella, and the four maids who were named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were all in that group.
Initially, both Elder Princess and Paris recommended Fei to leave Angela and the girls at St. Petersburg. After all, the Royal Guards and the master warriors in the Capital could better protect the civilians, and St. Petersburg should be much safer than the war zones. With the extra protection from the two most influential women in the Capital, Angela and the girls didn’t need to worry about getting bullied. Also, before Fei left the Capital, he talked with the handsome Second Prince, and Dominguez promised Fei that he would take care of the girls for Fei……
However, Fei rejected their help.
For one, Angela didn’t want to separate from Fei. Although she would be cared for in St. Petersburg, the people there weren’t her family members, and she might feel lonely. Second of all, Fei somehow felt like in this chaotic situation, the Capital of Zenit might not be as safe as it seemed.
Fei was planning to go back to Chambord with Angela and the girls once the war in the Jax Battle Zone toned down a bit; he was only comfortable leaving Angela and the girls in Chambord, their home kingdom.
The sky gradually got brighter, and the moonlight and the starlight dimmed.
Since Fei couldn’t go to sleep, he started to practice the methods documented in the Godly Chapter in the purple scroll. Fei’s spiritual power was now level 350, and he had already wiped away the spiritual seal Amauri left on him.
His spiritual power was terrifying, and he had experienced the benefits of having a lot of spiritual power.
It didn’t just increase the control of his physical strength and his understanding of cultivation; Fei felt like this spiritual power was his new eye. He could scan his surroundings, and it was much more effective and much subtler than scanning using Warrior Energy or Magic Power.
Fei discovered that he was the only person who specialized in spiritual power thus far.
Using his level 350 spiritual power, he was able to scan an area of 1,500-meter radius around him, and Costakarta, Huntelaar, and Amauri who were all Moon-Class Elites didn’t escape from his scanning.
Ever since he experienced the benefits of the spiritual power, Fei had been training it regularly.
……
Three hours later, the sun appeared on the horizon and brought a little liveliness to the world. The temperature also started to rise.
What surprised the commanders in Dual-Flag City was that it seemed like the enemies weren’t going to siege the city. The soldiers of Jax had moved back their campsites for five kilometers and only surrounded the east, west, and south side of the city. They left a small opening in the north direction, and it seemed like they were planning to drag on this war for as long as possible.
The anxiety and the fear that had been looming around the city toned down a little.
However, no one dared to relax completely. As long as the enemies were still close to Dual-Flags City, those fierce battles could arrive at any time, and blood and corpses could cover every corner of the aged defense wall.
For the whole day, Ribry was busy recruiting young men and training them for the militia.
Fei had to admit that this former head commander of the native military forces was well-respected. In just one day, he was able to get more than 8,000 young men to join the militia. After these men got their armors and weapons, they were put into eight battalions and got trained by experienced veterans and injured veterans.
“Sweat a lot during practice, and you can bleed less during battle!”
What Fei told Ribry in the watchtower last night became the phrase that motivated these rookies. That phrase was engraved on a massive piece of rock in the center of the training field by the craftsmen last night, and these words were painted in a bright red color. The instructors of these rookies would lead them, and they would shout this phrase before and after training together.
Except for the militia, the mercenary groups in the city also got visited by the military. During critical times like this, the mercenaries were summoned to participate in the defense. Of course, they would be paid by the military for their services.
Most of the mercenaries had battle experiences and battle techniques, and they were able to coordinate with each other well. As a result, they didn’t need to be trained like the rookies.
At the same time, the military in the city started to purchase food and store them in safe places quietly; Fei was preparing to fight a prolonged war.
The military also started to promote the idea of treasuring food; they recommended the civilians to start consuming a little bit less food so that they could wait until the winter wheat and crops were ready for harvest.
The military created all the detailed plans around food.
Fei had to remind the commanders under him that only the military was allowed to purchase and store food; anyone else who wanted to buy and save food in large quantities had to be warned, and anyone who ignored the warning should be severally punished.
When the atmosphere in the city was anxious and chaotic, crimes were more likely to be committed.
Fei hated these incidents, and he selected the elite soldiers from the herald brigade and established the patrol force. Crimes of all sorts were punished! In just a day, two thief groups and one evil mercenary group where all their members committed rape were killed; their heads were hung in the center of the city to serve as a deterrent.
Fei was busy all day as well.
He went to the Mage Union in the morning to thank the mages for the help. Of course, he also politely asked them to continue supporting Dual-Flags City in the upcoming defenses.
Fei thought that these haughty mages should be friendly towards him since they were willing to help the city, but it was the complete opposite.
Even though Ribry who was a respected figure in the city brought Fei here and introduced him, the king only got to meet the president of the Mage Union.
The president was a white-haired and white-breaded elder in his 60s, and he waited for Fei in front of the Magic Tower with two of his servants.
Unfortunately, this elder wasn’t as nice and friendly as the elders in the stories told by the traveling poets. His face was stiff, and he only chatted with Fei for less than 30 seconds superficially. He didn’t invite Fei to go in his Magic Tower, and he closed the door after that chat was done.
Fei felt like the “dominating presence” he had since he came to this world disappeared.
“This old man is just too rude! Your Majesty, let me break his windows using some rocks!” both Pierce and Drogba were angry after seeing how the king got treated.
Fei started at the two strongmen viciously, and the two of them instantly shut their mouths.
Fei didn’t hurry and go back to the camp after he left the Magic Tower. After he sent away his guards, he started to wander around the city alone.
He hadn’t had the chance to see the sceneries in this beautiful city in the desert. Every time he thought about how Emperor Yassin created more than 100 water wells using [Dragon Fist], he got stimulated; his heart would race, and his blood would boil.
Soon, he found those water wells to the east of the city center.
They were on a piece of flat land, and this flat land occupied quite a lot of space. The water wells were scattered around the area like the stars in the sky.
Each water well was about four meters in diameter, and the walls of the wells were piled up using green stones that were all smooth like mirrors. When looking down inside these ancient-looking water wells, Fei saw flashes of silver light in the dark; those were all the lights that got reflected off of the water.
There were mists on top of each water well, and they looked like clouds from afar; this scenery was unique and beautiful.
Beside these water wells, there were sophisticated channels and pipe systems. The water was being pulled out of the wells by simple magic arrays, and it was distributed to all the reservoirs and the tanks in the city for the civilians to use.
Fei slowly caressed the edge of one of the water wells, and he suddenly sensed a strong aura.
It was very familiar.
This light yet terrifying aura made Fei feel like there was a very majestic Emperor standing in front of him right now.
“This…… is the sensation of [Dragon Fist]!”
