Hail the King

Chapter 826: Fei’s Tactic (Part One)

When it was noon, Fei and Buckingham stopped at Kearney City that was less than 5,000 kilometers away from the Capital of Leon.

Kearney City was to the north of the Capital of Leon, Gerland City. It was one of the military towns of the Leon Empire, and one of the five knight legions of Leon, the [Blood Mask Knight Legion], resided in this place. This legion had been around since the establishment of the Leon Empire which was about several hundred years ago. It had been through several major wars and went through trials and tribulations. Even though it was almost completely wiped out several times, it made it through and got even more experienced and stronger. It was one of the most important military powers under the direct control of the Royal Family of Leon.

Flying in the sky at high speed was tiring. Even Fei who was quite powerful felt fatigued.

After the two of them disguised themselves, they entered Kearney City and found places to eat and rest.

Then, Fei came to a remote location in the city under Buckingham’s guide, and he saw a stand-alone castle. There were many watchtowers, and a lot of mercenary-looking men patrolled on the defense wall. It was well-protected.

“This is the headquarters of the famous Rapid Gale Mercenary Group in Kearney City.” Buckingham was curious as to why Fei decided to come here, but he continued to explain, “Although the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group isn’t big and only has about 40 to 50 people, their overall strength is not bad. They can rank within the top 20 mercenary groups in the city. They are always low-key, and I don’t think there is anything suspicious.”

“Kill them!” Fei stepped forward.

“Hua? Why? Kill? Them.... Why?” Buckingham was confused.

“Don’t ask so many questions; I will explain it to you later. Alright, you guard the outside. Remember, don’t let anyone escape!” After saying that, Fei flew toward the castle in front of them like a shooting arrow.

...

“Who is it? Stop! This is the headquarters of the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group!”

It was quite empty around the castle, and nothing was blocking the view. The men who were on guard instantly saw Fei, and they shouted to deter him.

“Rapid Gale your mom!” Like a gust of wind, Fei dashed forward and waved his hand, and the defense wall of the castle fell to the ground as if it were made from paper. In the next second, he already shot into the gate.

“Who are you? How dare you trespass the Rapid Gale...” A bunch of people rushed out of the grand hall.

“I’m here for you...” Fei dashed around like a tornado, and the airflow in the hall was chaotic. He didn’t need to attack, and these so-called mercenary masters were blown away before they could do anything.

These people were insignificant figures, so Fei didn’t target them.

He pushed forward quickly and passed through more than a dozen traps and blockades. According to the information that he obtained from the memory of the short and fat Kohler, he quickly arrived at the basement of the castle. Now, the ear-piercing siren finally sounded in the castle.

Fei stood in front of a demon beast stone statue on the wall of the basement, and he pressed on both eyes on the statue.

Nothing happened.

“Damn it! These damn murderers are fast!” Fei knew that the people hiding in the secret chamber had already turned off the mechanism, and he cussed angrily.

Then, without wasting time, he punched at the section of the floor which was behind his right foot.

Bam!

The golden energy fist instantly smashed the ground open, and a wide underground tunnel which was wide enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through appeared under the thick green stone floor which was more than one meter thick.

A series of gasps and cries sounded, and blood spilled in all directions.

Whoosh!

Fei turned into a flash of golden lightning as he rushed into the tunnel.

In the next moment, a series of battle howls sounded in there.

A lot of warriors in tight-fitting black uniform armor rushed over from the depth of the tunnel fearlessly, and there were quite a few Six-Star and Seven-Star Warriors. To a mercenary group, their strength was already great. The Rapid Gale Mercenary Group had the strength to become the no.1 mercenary group in Kearney City; it was clear that they were hiding their true power.

“Who is it? How dare you come in here?”

“Kill! Kill him! He discovered our secret! We can’t let him leave alive!”

The warriors in black armor waved their weapons and charged at Fei.

“A bunch of cunning characters. From the black uniform armor, I can tell that you are from the same organization as those mysterious Moon-Class Elites last night. Hehe, since you want to kill me, I will wipe out all of you.”

Without hesitation, Fei moved around and caused a lot of destruction. No one was able to stop him, and he left a blood trail behind him. None of these warriors in black were left alive.

These people were all brainwashed by the assassin organization, and they were only killing machines, unable to distinguish between the good and the bad. Leaving them alive would add to the uncertainties in this chaotic world.

...

“Too fast! How is he? We can’t stop him at all!”

Inside the secret chamber at the end of the underground tunnel, a few men in black who had powerful auras around them looked at each other and shivered. Their organization had been very low-key inside Kearney City, and they didn’t execute any big missions. They couldn’t understand how they got such a big enemy on their backs.

Boom! Boom! Boom! action

The series of explosive noises got closer and closer as the underground tunnel and secret chamber shook violently.

“I will go and check it out. Who dares to attack us? I will cut off this person’s head and turn his skull into a wine cup!” One of the men in black sneered and slowly disappeared as if he dissolved into the air.

He was a ruthless assassin, and his stealth technique had reached a new height.

In the next second, angry roars sounded outside the secret chamber, and a magic gem which had magic light burning around it suddenly cracked; no one saw this coming.

“How is this possible? Gude died? So quick? Damn it! How come this person is this powerful? He is at least a Full Moon Elite!” The men in black were shocked, and the leader-looking men instantly stood up and said, “Quick! Let’s leave! We can’t take on this person! Quick! Send out messages to the other branches in other cities! We somehow got a powerful enemy!”

As a series of magic flames flashed in the secret chamber, a small magic teleportation array slowly opened in the air.

It was a short-distance magic teleportation array, able to send these men to a safe place.

“Quick! Let’s go!” That leader quickly jumped onto the magic teleportation array. As long as they could get away from this place, they would be safe.

At this moment, a golden light flashed by, and the portal that just opened suddenly shattered and disappeared.

Boom!

The wall of this secret chamber was smashed open, and a demonic figure rushed in with golden energy flames around him.

...

-Half a day later-

The news that the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group was completely wiped out with no survivors spread around Kearney City quickly.

In the beginning, people thought that it was only the battle between mercenary groups, but the people who had been to the destroyed headquarters of the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group brought back more shocking news. It turned out that the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group was only the shell of the terrifying assassin organization – [Dark Godly Palace]. In the headquarters of the Rapid Gale Mercenary Group, people found shocking underground facilities such as altars and training rooms with the symbol of the [Dark Godly Palace] everywhere.

The [Dark Godly Palace] was an assassin organization that had been on the continent for thousands of years, and many people died at their hands. They were butchers who were hidden in the dark, and they didn’t have any morals. If their clients were willing to pay the price, these assassins would go and kill the targets. The people who died in their hands ranged from powerful heroes to dirty scumbags, mighty hermits to prestigious emperors, and poor beggars to extremely wealthy merchants.

In the ancient legends, in the mysterious headquarters of the [Dark Godly Palace], the skulls of Sun-Class Lords had piled up into a mountain, and the heads of a few gods were there as well.

This was a terrifying assassin organization. If they got paid, they dared to challenge and slay gods!

“Who is this person that even dares to challenge such an organization?” The entire Kearney City was stunned when they found out about this.

However, another thing was even more shocking.

It was rumored that some secret documents were discovered in the destroyed headquarters, including the targets of the [Dark Godly Palace] and the contracts between the [Dark Godly Palace] and the people who hired them. One of the contracts was between the [Dark Godly Palace] and D’Alessandro, the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint.

“The content of the contract is shocking. In one section, D’Alessandro admitted to the [Dark Godly Palace] that he is trying to frame the King of Chambord and Buckingham. Also, he is trying to get two of the King of Chambord’s treasures...”

“What is going on?”

This news spread around the region like wildfire.
