Hail the King Chapter 598: The Voice of God

Although all the citizens of Chambord knew the logic behind it, a lot of them felt like they would miss King Alexander dearly.
Among them, high-level officials such as Pierce, Drogba, Oleg, Bast, Brook, and Old Aryang, as well as students in the Civil and Military Academy were all shocked, and their expressions changed. They didn’t expect the king to make such a decision right here and right now.
Behind them, the other citizens also chattered and murmured amongst themselves.
However, since the king had an absolute prestige and was well respected, no one objected his decision even though it was abrupt.
After the initial surprise, people started to feel like Fei’s decision was both logical and reasonable in the current situation.
After a year of planning and pivoting, Fei had turned Chambord, a remote little level 6 kingdom that was weak and poor, into a level 1 affiliated kingdom that was prosperous, organized, and powerful. Without exaggeration, Chambord was comparable to level 1 empires on the continent in terms of combat abilities. If the size of its territories and population increased, Chambord could easily break away from Zenit and become its own empire.
In Fei’s eyes, the Chambord Kingdom was like a child who learned how to walk on its own under his supervision. Although it was staggering and might fall sometimes, it no longer required him to support it along the way.
Therefore, he felt like this was the perfect opportunity for him to let go and become a completely hands-off ruler.
Living in seclusion and becoming a hermit didn’t mean that he was cutting off all connection with Chambord. On the contrary, Fei was still the king of the kingdom, and his words would be taken as commands. However, since Fei was not crazy over control and didn’t like complicated administrative and military tasks, he wanted to use this opportunity to free himself from all the small matters so that he could focus on cultivating and increasing his strength.
Living on the Five Sword Sky Mountains, monitoring the Chambord City, observing the Zenit Empire, and dominating over a region on the Azeroth Continent! It was the life that Fei wanted to live!
He could watch the clouds around the mountains in the morning, sleep on the thighs of beauties when he was drunk, and control the region when he was awake…… That was his ultimate dream!
Fei glanced around and saw the expressions of the people in the area; he was quite reassured.
He then shifted the divy crystal in his hand, and the image in the sky turned from the Five Sword Sky Mountains to 12 mountains that were situated neatly between Five Sword Sky Mountains and Chambord City. They were a bit shorter compared to the Five Sword Sky Mountains, but they still pierced into the clouds.
Although these 12 mountains weren’t as majestic as the Five Sword Sky Mountains, they were impressive none the less. It looked like they were connected to the sky, and they were mystic and luring.
“These 12 sword mountains will be the residences of the most powerful 12 gold saints. I will place 12 Gold Saint Palaces on them, and they will be protecting the Five Sword Sky Mountains as well as the Chambord City! The 12 gold saints will live and train on these 12 sword mountains, and they will help me monitor the kingdom, guard the citizens, and enjoy supreme honor.”
As soon as Fei finished speaking, a phenomenon occurred.
The blue sky was clear, and all the lights of the stars were covered by the bright sun; it was impossible to see them. However, at this moment when Fei stopped speaking, the stars shone brightly in the sky, and their mystic power suppressed the sunshine.
The stars shone one after another, and they formed the 12 zodiac constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. It felt like a god was drawing in the sky.
“Ah? This……”
“These mystic images of the constellations appeared in the sky because of His Majesty’s words?”
“Are these 12 images of the constellations the totems of the 12 gold saints?
“This…. the power of the stars! So shocking……”
Everyone on and around the plaza was stunned by what they saw. The stars that created the 12 zodiac constellations appeared in the sky and formed mystic and incredible images because of the king’s speech!
What they were seeing was a miracle!
That was undeniable!
Even Fei was surprised by what was going on. When he was speaking, he didn’t expect that something like this was going to happen.
In the next second, Fei suddenly realized that this miracle was probably due to one of his three miraculous skills – [Given]. When he was giving people like Lampard and Drogba their Star Saint Sets, similar incidents happened where the Star Saint Sets communicated with the stars in the sky.
This miraculous process took place for a minute. After that, the stars dimmed down, and the sky returned to normal.
Fei stopped thinking and glanced at the saint seiyas as well as the bylaw enforcement officers. In the end, his eyes landed on Lampard.
“I know that you all want to become Moon-Class Elites; only the Moon-Class Elites are qualified to become guardians who could reside in the 12 Golden Saint Palaces. Therefore, if you want to become the most powerful saint seiyas in the kingdom, you need to work harder and show me your effort. Today, Uncle Lampard took the first step forward. From now on, Uncle Lampard, you will be the guardian of Gold Leo Mountain!”
As Fei spoke, the effect of [Given] appeared again.
The dimmed stars in the sky brightened up. This time, only the stars that made up the Leo Constellation shone. The lights of the 96 stars traveled down the sky, accelerated, and landed on one of the 12 sword mountains behind the Chambord City.
Then, a mystic beam of light appeared on this mountain and shot back into the sky.
Everyone was stunned again.
At the same time, Lampard suddenly felt a mysterious power coming from that mountain. He felt like he was connected to the mountain by blood, and it was calling him.
“It is my great honor, Your Majesty!”
Lampard single-kneeled and swore. Then, he disappeared from the plaza and dashed toward the Gold Leo Mountain like a lightning bolt.
The entire city was stunned!
……
-King’s Palace-
After returning from the plaza, Fei wandered around this palace that was about to ‘retire’.
The royal family of Chambord had been living here for generations.
Alexander’s father, Old Alexander, and the previous kings all left marks on this palace, such as the magic portraits of all the Kings of Chambord in history. Although they weren’t precious, they were valuable items to the royal family of Chambord.
Although Fei was from another world, this body of his contained the blood of the royals of Chambord. In addition, Fei lived here for a while, and he got somewhat emotionally attached to some items. Therefore, even though the Sky Castle contained everything he would ever need, Fei decided to take the items that were significant to the royal family of Chambord with him.
As Fei walked around, he placed all the items that he wanted to take with him into his storage ring.
By borrowing the idea of corporate offices from his previous life, this palace, which was the biggest in Chambord City, was going to become the headquarters of the Six Departments and offices of all ministers. From now on, all the hundreds of officials would be coming to this place to work and manage all the things that were happening in the Chambord Kingdom.
