Hail the King Chapter 706: Hatred

The situation was really dangerous, and all the ship slaves were terrified, trying their best to break free.
By now, Fei already confirmed that these two guys, both Sparrow and Barbossa, were cunning and dirty.
Even though it seemed like the Xuan'ge was about to crash, he didn't look worried.
Since the time was limited, he no longer waited for them to completely swore loyalty to him and forced it instead.
As he thought about that, his spirit energy rushed out of his body and dashed into the bodies of the two.
Then, Fei clapped his hands and laughed, "If you two didn't look like two old friends of mine, I wouldn't be able to suppress my murderous spirit. If I didn't want to recruit you two, you guys would… I know that you two are cunning and bad eggs, but I would advise you not to play any tricks. I have already planted spiritual seals in your bodies. Even if you two run to the end of the continent, I can still easily find you. Killing two Six-Star Warriors are no different to killing two ants for me. This is your last opportunity, and don't test my patience."
After saying that, golden energy flames flashed, and Fei disappeared from the control station.
Both Sparrow and Barbossa frowned, but they didn't dare to do anything.
Even though these two were cunning and vicious, they were scared by Fei's tactics. For a moment, they didn't dare to do anything strange.
In the next second, they heard the loud shouts coming from other ship slaves who were staring at the magic screen.
They looked over and saw the black-haired young king appearing below the Xuan'ge.
He reached out his hand and pressed onto the bottom of the Xuan'ge. Even though it looked like he didn't use much force, this giant Xuan'ge that weighed more than hundreds of tons was slowed down and gradually stopped falling.
"Hiss!" A series of gasps sounded inside the control station.
The ship slaves were all stunned by what they saw.
Robbin and Old Aryang knew that the king was brave and powerful, so they weren't that surprised.
However, Sparrow and Barbossa were shocked by this scene and almost hugged each other, screaming.
Even though the Ormond Empire was established by powerful masters and didn't lack talents, the two of them hadn't seen anyone who was as powerful as this black-haired young man.
They had stayed on this barge for more than ten years, and they clearly knew that this huge Xuan'ge weighed at least hundreds of tons despite being made from ironwood which was extremely light.
"This handsome young man is in mid-air, so he couldn't borrow force from anywhere. He is using his own power to carry this Xuan'ge. He is making it look so easy as if he is carrying a feather… This power…" Fei's strength was beyond their wildest imaginations.
"Who is this young man?" Sparrow and Barbossa thought to themselves, "Why is such a heroic and powerful figure here in such a remote region?"
After seeing this, these two cunning characters finally extinguished their bad thoughts and became simple-minded.
Although they were vicious, they weren't that powerful and didn't have the backing of powerful empires. To them, serving under such a supreme master wasn't a bad thing.
All the people in the area witnessed this. The ship slaves inside the Xuan'ge cheered since they weren't going to die, and the citizens of Chambord who were protected by the energy sphere were thrilled to see their king demonstrate his power, making them cheer loudly as well.
Fei was now in control of the Xuan'ge, and he wasn't in a hurry to land it.
After looking around, he got an idea and flew to the back mountains of Chambord with the Xuan'ge in hand.
He quickly got to Five Sword Sky Mountain and found a mountain beside it that wasn't too steep.
He waved the other hand that wasn't supporting the Xuan'ge, and a golden sword energy flew over, slicing off the mountaintop and creating a large flat surface that was about 20 hectares in size.
This scene shocked the ship slaves again.
Then, Fei slowly descended and put the Xuan'ge onto this plateau.
Everyone in the control station saw this clearly, and Sparrow and Barbossa who were more experienced and thoughtful than other ship slaves were stunned to their cores; they had never seen someone this powerful!
"He can literally break mountains and move seas! This black-haired king is so young, and his path of cultivation is bright! Who can predict how powerful he will be in the future?"
The ship slaves had all been imprisoned on the Xuan'ge for many years, and they hadn't seen the real daylight for so long.
Since they were all individuals who were unruly and desired freedom, they swore to themselves that they were willing to die if they could breathe the fresh air and feel the warm sunlight.
They desired freedom and didn't want to be tied down.
For all these years, they had been fighting for their freedom.
Under the careful organization of Sparrow and Barbossa, the ship slaves spent several years and learned how to control the Xuan'ge in secrecy.
They had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to rob the Xuan'ge and escape from the control of the Ormondians.
That was why they suddenly rebelled when Fei was fighting with the Ormondians, and they killed all the operators and took control of the control station. They thought their plan was executed perfectly, but Fei, Old Aryang, and Robbin charged in and took over the Xuan'ge.
In the beginning, the ship slaves were still resistant toward Fei.
However, Sparrow and Barbossa thought about a lot more.
Their original plan was to run away after getting the Xuan'ge. With the speed and power of the Xuan'ge, they could easily create a pirate mercenary group in the air and be free forever.
However, now thinking about their old plan, they felt like it wouldn't be that easy. Without enough power, they couldn't escape from the forces of the Ormond Empire who would hunt them down, and other forces might become greedy over the Xuan'ge as well. After all, a Moon-Cla.s.s Elite was enough to put them in great danger.
However, if they could get the support and protection of this young king, it would be much easier to construct a mercenary group that could dominate the sky.
Working under Fei would be much safer and more effective compared to doing everything themselves.
Both Sparrow and Barbossa thought it through, and they looked at each other and understood each other's mind.
Now, they were a little anxious, afraid that their reckless behavior prior might have angered the young king.
That is human psychology.
Sometimes, a simple thought would overturn people's beliefs, making them cherish something that they frowned upon before.
Under the watch of Old Aryang and Robbin, more than 100 ship slaves walked out of the Xuan'ge.
As soon as they stepped out, they kneeled on the deck, laughing and crying as if they were crazy. They tried to suck in as much fresh air as possible, and they stared at the stars in the sky with tear all over their faces. They looked like a bunch of madmen.
Even though Sparrow and Barbossa had been trying to keep their emotions in check, tears appeared in their eyes. After all, they hadn't been outside for more than ten years.
The regular ship slaves weren't as calculative as Sparrow and Barbossa.
After seeing how powerful Fei was, their thoughts got overturned entirely.
They realized that if it weren't for Fei, they might not be able to ever walk out of the bottom of the Xuan'ge, see the sky, and breathe in fresh air.
Perhaps, they would end up like most of the other ship slaves who died in the Xuan'ge and got thrown somewhere random.
They all felt the grat.i.tude toward Fei.
Therefore, when Fei appeared on the deck again, they all kneeled and thanked him.
Fei didn't want to waste more time here. He scared Sparrow and Barbossa again and told Robbin to be in charge of the Xuan'ge. Then, he went back to Chambord City with Old Aryang.
Now, the casualty report was already made.
When the Xuan'ge attacked Chambord City, its first strike killed 36 bylaw enforcement officers and seven low-level saint seiyas. Also, two [Dragon Slayer] crossbows were destroyed, six houses, statues, and palaces were shattered, and the magic electricity grid, water delivery system, and sewage system in the west region of the city were all damaged. The monetary loss would be around 60,000 gold coins.
Fei looked very serious.
If only counting the monetary loss, Chambord was in the green. One Xuan'ge of this scale was worth at least millions of gold coins, and the Ormond Empire didn't even sell them.
However, the loss of 43 warriors of Chambord made it hard for anyone to laugh.
Since Fei's arrival, Chambord went through many battles. However, the kingdom almost suffered zero death and won in all the conflicts. This was the first time that Chambord lost so many people.
The parents, wives, and children of the 43 warriors were crying beside their corpses, and everyone was heartbroken. At the same time, the hatred toward the Ormond Empire grew.
"Your Majesty! I want to avenge my dad!" A big boy who looked four years old ran to Fei and said as he kneeled.
In his big and naïve eyes, there was anger and hatred.
Fei hugged this boy and kissed his forehead.
Under everyone's stare, the king announced, "All of the warriors who died for the kingdom will be t.i.tled as heroes, and their loved ones will be taken care of by the Royal Family. Their kids will receive the best education and follow in their footsteps, and their parents will be ensured great lives. As the King, I promise that their loved ones won't be neglected or mistreated!"
The Chambord Kingdom's laws and regulations were complete, and the system for honoring warriors who sacrificed their lives was already in place under Fei's guidance.
Today, it was the first time that Chambord used that system and honored the heroes.
The family members of these dead warriors all kneeled and thanked the King, and the other warriors of Chambord looked at Fei with admiration in their eyes.
This system made all the warriors of Chambord proud, and they liked it. This way, they could fight for the kingdom without having to worry about their loved ones after they die.
Even though the king liked being admired, he couldn't be happy at this moment.
After being in this world for more than a year, Fei gradually adapted to the law of the jungle, and his belief system was changed a little as well.
He didn't mind killing enemies, but he couldn't accept the death of his people.
The deaths of the 43 warriors of Chambord created deep hatred between the Chambord Kingdom and the Ormond Empire.
This hatred was probably reciprocal.
The Ormond Empire probably couldn't accept the fact that one of their princes died in this remote place.
Chambord made a huge enemy, but it was unavoidable.
This was what war brought.
Seeing the blood-like morning Sun that was on the horizon, Fei felt like he could see what kind of a b.l.o.o.d.y battle that was happening at St. Petersburg.
The joint forces of the Ormond Empire and the Leon Empire had surrounded the Capital of Zenit, and corpses must have piled high both inside and outside the defense wall.
During wars, the lives of soldiers were worthless.
"How long can St. Petersburg last? Doesn't matter how calculative Emperor Ya.s.sin is, this is a huge test for the Zenit Empire. If the empire is crushed, it would be hard for Chambord to defeat the two empires alone. It looks like I have to go to the Capital."
Fei made up his mind and few toward Five Sword Sky Mountain.
This was his wedding night, and it was crucial.
After the wedding ceremony, he hadn't gotten the chance to spend time with his two queens.
[TL Note: Hey guys, sorry about forgetting to open the comment section on the second page of yesterday's chapter. It seems like most of you like the naming system to stay the same, so that is what we will do. Guess we could all get a little chuck after reading some of the chapters.]
