Hail the King Chapter 622: The Capital

As soon as Mathewson heard what Fei said, a desperate expression appeared on his face as he gritted his teeth and smacked his fist toward his head.
He tried to commit suicide!
In fact, he was terrified by what Fei did to Trace who was a Moon-Class Elite. That shocking scene made Mathewson lose the courage to live on. Rather than experiencing that horrifying torture, he wanted to kill himself and escape from the pain.
However, Fei’s voice sounded again, “Humph! Are you scared now? If I don’t allow you to die, you couldn’t die!”
As Fei sneered, he looked toward Mathewson and sent over his power as a Moon-Class Elite. Just like how a Moon-Class Elite could freeze and target someone with warrior energy and magic energy, Fei used his pure physical strength and locked down Mathewson.
Mathewson instantly shivered, and he was no longer able to move his body. His hand froze five centimeters away from his forehead, and he couldn’t do anything to kill himself.
“You…… Alexander, you are too cruel! You aren’t a human! You are a demon!” Mathewson cussed viciously.
“I can only suppress demons like you guys if I turn into a demon myself. What? You think what I’m doing now in inhumane? I believe that the 19 brave warriors of the empire asked you the same thing when they were tortured to death, and their screams and groans are still resonating in this palace. What? Don’t you hear it? When you guys tortured and killed those 19 loyal warriors of the empire in the most gruesome way, why didn’t you feel like you were inhumane?” Fei said as he looked at Mathewson with his sharp eyes.
When the latter couldn’t refute anything, Fei continued and added, “If you were a bit humane and killed them directly without torturing them, I might give you guys a smooth and painless ending. However…… you no longer qualify for a proper and painless death!”
Desperation filled Mathewson’s eyes.
Fei no longer paid attention to him.
He glanced around and looked past everyone until he saw Ribry, and he said, “Ribry, go back to the campsite with Arthur right now. Gain back control of Dual-Flags City before dawn arrives, and arrest everyone who is involved in the killing of our brothers. Then, interrogate them and trial them; everyone who is guilty must be held responsible. Before the new order from the Imperial Military Headquarters gets here, you are in control of everything!”
“As you wish!” Ribry bowed and saluted at Fei. After he looked around and saw who else was in the palace, he hesitated a little and murmured, “Sir, they…..”
“The leaders are already punished, and the rest of them don’t need to be penalized any further; I already destroy their warrior energies and energy channels, and they could only live like regular people from now on. Send them back to the [Whip of the Thunder Lord]…… As to the guilty nobles such as Mayor Soroyov, the native commanders and soldiers can discuss and deal with them!”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Ribry walked out of the palace with Arthur by his side. After he took a few steps forward, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and asked, “Sir, then you……”
“I’m going to the Capital, and I need to meet our God of War His Highness,” Fei replied confidently. His expression didn’t change, and it was clear that he planned to do this all along!
“Ah? Go to St. Petersburg? This…… is this a good time? After all…… they……” Ribry was shocked by what Fei said.
“What happened today at Dual-Flags City is already insane! Mr. Alexander had turned this place up-side-down, and the nobles and influential figures at the Capital would be stunned. Who knows what kind of counterattack they would plan? Doesn’t matter what it is, it is going to be powerful and deadly!” Ribry thought. He was planning to go back to the native military force’s campsite, kill everyone who knew what happened here, and take on all the blame and guilt; he planned to be the scapegoat for Fei. That was why he was concerned and worried that Fei was going to the Capital right now.
The Capital was heavily guarded by masters, protected by elite soldiers and legions, and the magic towers and magic arrays in there were dense like trees in a forest; that protection was tight enough.
“On top of that, Emperor Yassin resides there……” Ribry thought. “Although it is rumored that he is dying, his power couldn’t be neglected…… If Mr. Alexander goes there now, he will be in a huge disadvantage……”
Fei already saw through Ribry’s mind. He laughed and said, “Don’t worry; I know the limits. There shouldn’t be any issues. Crown Prince His Highness is a little too pressing; if I don’t slap back, hehe, our God of War will think that I am really scared of him. More stuff might happen in the future if I don’t go, so I will solve this issue once for all.”
Ribry gaped; he vaguely guessed Fei’s thoughts, and he was even more shocked.
He knew that he couldn’t dissuade the King of Chambord. Therefore, after some thinking, he added politely, “Sir, you have been busy today already. Why don’t you rest for the night in Dual-Flags City, and I could get a team of elite cavaliers from the native military force tomorrow and guard you to……”
“No need; I will be back real soon.”
Before Fei finished speaking, a pair of silver sword energy wings that had a wingspan of 30 meters appeared on his back. Then, the king grasped onto Special Envoy Mathewson and dashed into the sky like a silver light.
Soon, the sharp air-piercing noises sounded, and they disappeared into the sky. However, they left a series of afterimages in the sky. As if the sky was severely wounded, a silver-white line stayed in the dark sky and wasn’t willing to leave.
Ribry opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.
After experiencing this incident, this great general who had been situated in the huge city in the northwest region of Zenit for more than a dozen years suddenly realized that he only saw the King of Chambord’s real side today.
“This king enjoys the ultimate freedom, and he is like a godly dragon that soars in the high sky. Even though the Crown Prince His Highness is unreachable for a lot of people, compared to the King of Chambord, he is weaker, less strategic, and less heroic. The two of them aren’t on the same level,” he thought, “Perhaps only Emperor Yassin could suppress this young king if he is back to his prime……”
After Ribry looked at the stars in the sky for a while, he took out that medal and gave it back to his guard, Arthur. Then, he patted his brave guard’s shoulder and didn’t say anything else.
……
“You are really heading toward the Capital? You are mad! You are seeking your own death! Hahaha! This is good! Crown Prince His Highness will tear you apart!”
Mathewson was being held by Fei by the neck like a chicken in the hand of a farmer, and he wasn’t able to move at all. When he lowered his head, he saw mountains and forests passing him quickly. He could only hear loud wind-blowing noises, and the sparks created by the friction between the air and Fei’s energy sphere when they were traveling at high-speed almost blinded Mathewson.
Flying was the privilege of masters on and above the realm of Moon-Class.
If it weren’t for Fei’s silver energy sphere that blocked all the natural forces outside, Mathewson who was only a mid-tier Five-Star Warrior would have been torn into pieces by the crazy blade-like wind in the high sky.
Gradually, Special Envoy Mathewson who already gave up on life realized that the king was really headed toward St. Petersburg. As he was shocked, he also got excited and cursed Fei viciously.
However, Fei completely ignored him and didn’t even look at him.
After about 30 minutes, the land before them started to get bright. Like stars in the sky, lights were scattered around and shone brightly. The lights were all connected as if all the stars in the sky gathered, and it was magnificent and shocking. Half of the sky was lit up by the light, and the buildings looked majestic.
The Capital of Zenit, St. Petersburg, was here!
St. Petersburg at night was peaceful yet spectacular.
Even though he was close, Fei didn’t slow down. Like a meteor that was falling from the sky, Fei fluttered his huge wings and dashed down toward the Capital fiercely.
Under the nightly sky, the king’s eyes looked bright and murderous.
