Hail the King Chapter 612: No Need to Endure Anymore

“But if we do that, it might bring a lot of trouble to Mr. Alexander,” the commander who raised the question first looked around and said, “Mr. Alexander might not be afraid of the Imperial Knight Palace, but we need to be careful. Crown Prince Arshavin and many noble families at St. Petersburg are trying to find excuses to frame His Majesty. If we go to him after we rescue Mr. Ribry, I’m afraid that those b*stards don’t need to find an excuse to deal with King Alexander His Majesty anymore.”
What this commander said made sense.
The people in the tent nodded and thought, “If we run to Chambord after rescuing Mr. Ribry, King Alexander will for sure keep us. However, this would be similar to pulling him into hot water! We might harm His Majesty and even the entire kingdom!”
A bitter smile appeared on Gago’s face.
After a short pause, he said, “Don’t worry; I already planned for that. After we rescue Mr. Ribry and get out of Dual-Flags City, we will go separate ways. You guys can take Mr. Ribry to Chambord, and I will take a group of suicide squad and charge toward the Jax Empire to distract the Imperial Knight Palace’s attention. When they catch up to me, I can find a few corpses, destroy their faces, and make them substitutes for you guys. I don’t think the people from the Imperial Knight Palace could figure it out.”
Everyone in the tent was stunned.
From what Gago said, it sounded like he was going to sacrifice himself for everyone else. Even if everything went according to plan, and the people from Imperial Knight Palace were fooled, he would be captured by them since there was no way that they would allow him to commit suicide. Then, he would be tortured in interrogations, and no ordinary human could endure through that.
“No! Gago, you are wise and quick; Mr. Ribry needs to be looked after by you, and the team couldn’t do it without you. Hehe, let me go and distract the Imperial Knight Palace! I’m worthless, and me dying to save your guys is a great deal!”
“Yuck! Don’t try to rob this eye-catching opportunity from me! I should be the one who goes as a distraction!”
“Lendo! You are bad! Haha, I’m the most familiar with the terrains in the Jax Empire, and I’m more fitting for this job! Hehe, I can take the b*stards from the Imperial Knight Palace onto a game of hide-and-seek!”
These brave and heroic men all shouted and tried to get the chance to sacrifice themselves as if that was the only way for them to make it out here alive.
Gago looked around, and he felt like his blood was boiling.
He said to himself in his head, “Mr. Ribry, do you hear this? You should be proud to have this bunch of brothers who are willing to die for you! They are the real soldiers, the real warriors, and real men! Compared to them, those pitiful nobles at St. Petersburg who only know how to fight for power should be ashamed of themselves!”
At this moment, a clear voice sounded from the outside and penetrated the tent, “Hahaha! Good plan! However, I can promise you that you won’t succeed and will just die!”
“Who is it?” Gago was shocked!
Tink! He pulled out his sword, and his body turned into a bladestorm, dashing toward the direction of that voice fiercely.
Tink! Tink! Tink! Tink!
A series of metal-colliding noises sounded.
Everyone in the tent was an elite commander who had been through life-and-death moments on the battlefields, and they were all experienced. Therefore, they all reacted at the same time as well.
Before this meeting, they placed more than a dozen elite soldiers around the tent, trying to keep the area secure. However, this unknown person got so close to the tent; it was clear that he was extremely powerful.
Although they felt like this voice sounded familiar, it was an urgent matter, and capturing this person was the best thing to do now. After all, what they were talking about were a highly sensitive matter, and tragedy would arrive if it got out!
However, as soon as they rushed out of the tent, they sensed an indefensible energy coming at them. Didn’t matter how hard they tried to fight it off, they made no progress forward.
They were all stunned again! They knew that they were no match for this mysterious master.
“You guys were still praising me a moment ago; why are you trying to show me your blades as soon as we meet again?” A figure appeared under the moonlight.
With a smile on his face, he looked spectacular and unparalleled.
Everyone was surprised!
Some of them rubbed their eyes and couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“King…… King Alexander?!?!”
After a few seconds, they finally realized that they weren’t hallucinating. They were thrilled, and all their worries and fears were gone. They knew that the fact this person appeared here meant that he was willing to help and save Ribry. Also, they realized that if this man wanted to do something, it would be achieved. They couldn’t recall anything that had ever stopped this man.
“Legion Commander!” Gago and the other commanders kneeled and greeted.
Fei was the Legion Commander of the [Wolf Teeth Legion] and the No.1 Commander of the Jax Battle Zone. Therefore, he was the big boss of everyone here, and they were used to calling him ‘Legion Commander’.
“Please get up!” Fei waved his hand, and an invisible energy helped these people up gently.
He asked, “I heard what you guys talked about. Gago, tell me everything that had happened in the last while in detail.”
“As you wish!” Gago replied and started to tell Fei the whole thing.
It turned out that after Fei left Dual-Flags City, Matthewson, who was the special envoy from the Imperial Military Headquarters and a henchman of Arshavin, started an obvious ‘cleansing’ operation. At first, all the commanders who were close to Fei were called over for meetings. He tried to hint at these commanders and told them things such as ‘the King of Chambord was up to no good’, ‘the King of Chambord was trying to increase the power of Chambord Kingdom at the expense of Zenit’, and ‘the King of Chambord was treasonous’. However, Fei’s influence in the city was great, and people like Mathewson got nowhere with their plans. Therefore, they got mad and surrounded the native military force with the soldiers they brought from St. Petersburg, beginning the real bloody ‘cleansing’.
Gago was a good speaker, and he quickly told Fei everything concisely.
“Oh? You mean people like Soroyov and the nobles got back to their former selves? They are corrupt again, and they have been framing the commanders who are heroes in defending the city?” Fei frowned.
“Yes, Sir! If you could do it all over again, you shouldn’t let these old dogs go!” The commanders all got furious when talking about people like Soroyov.
“Ribry had been arrested by that Special Envoy Mathewson three days ago, and you guys don’t know what is going on?” Fei sensed a huge conspiracy.
“Yes, Sir! Also, the 20 guards of Mr. Ribry were also taken away,” Gago answered.
Fei nodded, thought for a bit, and asked, “Those heroic warriors who gained a lot of military merits during the war were hung outside the military campsite just because they cared about their commander and tried to gather information on him?”
“Yes, Sir,” Gago shouted with a sadden expression, “We tried our best, but…… but we couldn’t stop those b*stards…… We…… we let our brothers down……”
This clever commander cried like a child.
Men rarely cried because their sensitive nerves were hard to touch!
For a moment, the eyes of all the commanders in the area reddened and watered.
Fei lightly patted Gago’s shoulder, glanced around, and said slowly, “You guys did well; you are real warriors. When Ribry weren’t here, it is your control of the impulses that saved the force. They already set up masters outside the camp, and they are ambushing you. If you did anything strange…… But now, we don’t need to endure it anymore! Someone, blow the bugle! Assemble the troop! Raise my king flag! Open the gate! Play the hero burial music! We will use the most sincere and honorable way to welcome back the corpses of our heroes, and we will avenge for them! Kill everyone who dares to stop us! I, the King of Chambord, will bare all the consequences!”
Fei’s speech was firm and authoritative. It resonated in the sky and didn’t die down for a long while!
After a moment of shock, these commanders felt like that sense of security was back. They felt like the anger and grudge they were holding in for the last half a month were wiped out, and they saluted at Fei and replied with a roar, “As you wish, Legion Commander!”
Soon, the loud bugle sounded.
Like a bolt of lightning that lit up the sky, the sound of the bugle resonated around this military campsite.
After hearing the summon, the soldiers who were red-eyed and didn’t even take off their armors at night rushed out of their tents as fast as they could decisively.
As soon as they got out of the tents, they saw the new commander flag that was being raised in the camp.
“Quick, look! That commander flag…… Mr. Alexander’s battle flag!”
“Ah! Great! Is King Alexander His Majesty back? Now, there is someone who will uphold justice for us!”
“Mr. Alexander! You are finally back! We have been waiting for you!!”
Tens of thousands of native soldiers rushed to the center of the campsite at the fastest speed, and everyone looked at the figure who was standing below the commander flag with expectant eyes. As they hoped, there was the invincible, young commander who led them and battled against the enemies in the northwest!
At this moment, all of them calmed down.
Like a tangible matter, the morale of the soldiers shot into the sky and shattered the clouds!
……
-Outside the campsite-
“What is going on? These pigs of Dual-Flags City dare to blow the bulge and raise the commander flag without Mr. Mathewson’s order? Damn it! How dare they gather the soldiers? Investigate! Figure out who gave the order! Arrest him, and I will skin him alive!”
A black armored commander rushed out of his tent which was located inside one of the two campsites that sandwiched the military campsite of the native military force.
At this moment, a series of cheers sounded. It felt like a volcano erupted, and lava was gushing out of the deep earth core.
“Sir! Sir! Bad news! The native soldiers are launching a rebellion! They went against the military order, rushed out of their campsite, and are about to take back the corpses of those soldiers who were hung a few days ago……” a messenger rushed by and reported anxiously.
“Hahaha! These bugs dare to rebel and commit treason? They are seeking their death! Mr. Mathewson already anticipated this! He ordered us to kill them as soon as they do anything unusual! Hahaha, this is the time for me to get a lot of military merits! Pass my order! All soldiers stay alert, and you go invite the masters from the Imperial Knight Palace over! I want to see who is daring enough to commit such a deed!” this commander ordered.
He wasn’t anxious but excited; it felt like he had been waiting for this moment, and he was confident in the strength of his side.
