Hail the King

Chapter 907: Bloody Defense Wall (Part One)

It seemed like the Anjian soldiers were already used to the scene outside the defense wall. Also, they weren’t afraid of the undead creatures and monsters that terrified most of the humans on the continent. Instead, as if they were watching a show, they were excited and even started a bet. It seemed like everything was within their control.

“You... bunch... of demons. None of you... will end well...” A series of choppy and stuttering curses weakly sounded by them.

“Huh? You are still not dead yet?”

More than several figures were hung on the watchtower on the defense wall. Large iron hooks penetrated their shoulder blades, and they were hung in the air like fish that was being air-dried. It was a torturous experience, and the pain was unimaginable.

Out of the eight figures, seven of them already turned into corpses due to the continuous bleeding and intense pain, and only one tall person still had one last breath in him.

At this moment, he woke up from fainting, and he struggled and cussed when seeing the excited soldiers of Anji.

These people were all the warriors in the Alanian rebellion force in Marton City. After Anjians captured them, they were tortured and hung on the defense wall alive, used by Anjians as deterrents to warn other Alanians. They had been hung here for six days, and this only survivor’s name was Charles Adam.

Charles Adam was a Two-Star Warrior and one of the leaders in the rebellion force. Although his warrior energy was destroyed, his body was tougher than others, and that was the only reason that he was still alive.

In the last six days, Adam had witnessed 21 tragic incidents in his limited waking hours after the intense pain knocked him out, leaving him unconscious. Those Alanian survivors from the region got to the outside of Marton City and begged Anjians to let them in, but they were all shut out. In fact, some of the cruel Anjian soldiers treated them as live targets and practiced their archery skills on these people. Then, as more and more zombies gathered around the city, the Alanian survivors, who came here and tried to be protected in the city, had to fight with the zombies, becoming the new entertainment for Anjians.

These people were crueler and more devilish than zombies. They treated these inhumane things like entertainment and never got tired of it.

“You... you b*stards... the gods will condemn you...” Adam endured intense pain and cursed.

“Huh? It seems like you aren’t feeling any pain; you still have the energy to curse.” An Anjian soldier rolled his eyes and walked to the watchtower. Then, he grabbed one of Adam’s feet that was in mid-air and pulled on it forcefully.

“Ah!” Even though Adam was a strong-willed, tough man, he screamed in pain uncontrollably.

The iron hooks penetrated his shoulders and got locked inside his body. His flesh grew around the hooks, and his blood dried on them. Also, white worms were wriggling around his wounds right now.

After being pulled, the wounds got torn open again. The injuries got worse, and blood flowed down his body rapidly. Even his shoulder blades were showing, and he fainted again.

“Hahaha...” the Anjian soldiers around the watchtower laughed in excitement.

-At this moment-

“Five minutes are about to pass. Guess who will win the bet? Huh? What is that? Oh god! What is happening?” Just as an Anjian soldier was about to say something, he suddenly pointed outside the defense wall and screamed on top of his lungs, sounding like a woman who successfully caught her man cheating.

Chapter 907: Bloody Defense Wall (Part Two)

The other soldiers looked in the direction that he was pointing, and they gaped instantly. Their mouths were open so wide that a giant dragon egg could fit through.

While they were distracted by Adam, they forgot to pay attention to the team of Alanian survivors outside the city. They weren’t sure when, but the thousands of zombies outside the city were wiped out; not a single zombie was spared.

All the zombies were turned into charcoal, and they fell to the ground.

The team of Alanian survivors already got to the city gate without any injuries.

“Open the gate,” a sexy female warrior shouted.

The Anjian soldiers on the defense wall were stunned, and they looked at each other, not sure what to do.

Until now, they still didn’t know what they missed out on, and they had no idea how those zombies were taken out. After looking down, they saw a little over 100 people, and most of them in ragged clothes. Women and children made up more than half of the team, and even the young men looked terrible; it didn’t seem like there were masters among them.

“Shoot! Quick! Shoot arrows and kill them!”

The team commander on the defense wall instinctively sensed threats from this team of Alanian survivors outside the city, and he instantly gave the same order when he sensed danger; he didn’t even think it through twice before issuing the order of attack.

There were many reasons for the rise of the Anji Empire. Except for some mysterious factors, the power of its military was vital. Therefore, although these soldiers looked orderless and lazy, they quickly reacted. As soon as the commander issued the order, arrows dashed down the defense wall like raindrops in a storm. Then, loud warning bells resonated on the defense wall. The soundwaves expanded in all directions, and the people in the city heard them clearly.

Suddenly, a golden screen appeared. With Fei being in the center, the golden screen protected everyone inside.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

The sharp, howling arrows were all blocked before falling to the ground powerlessly.

“This welcome isn’t too friendly. It seems like Anjians aren’t interested in sitting down and talking.”

Fei lightly pushed his hand forward, and the iron gate that weighed more than several tons and could only be opened by the complex gear mechanisms moved.

Creak!

Like a light wooden door that wasn’t locked and was placed in the wind, the iron gate slowly opened on its own, revealing the Anjian soldiers who were preparing their defense and were now stunned.

Just as Fei was about to lead the team into the city, he suddenly sensed something, and he said to Torres behind him, “Take them into the city first.”

Then, he dashed upward and appeared on top of the defense wall that was more than 20 meters tall.

Fei glanced through the seven corpses that were hanging off the watchtower and finally looked at Charles Adam, who was on the verge of death.

With Fei’s experience and sight, he could tell that this muscular man was once a Two-Star Warrior, but his strength was destroyed. Although this man wasn’t dead yet, he was one breath away.

From his clothes and dressing style, Fei knew that he was an Alanian.

“What kind of power allowed him to last so long under such torture?” Seeing the horrifying wounds and the white worms on them, Fei was a little stunned. If this man didn’t have a strong will and tough mental power, he couldn’t have survived until now.

Fei was shocked.

This man was a real man made of iron!

The king raised his hand, and a soft energy gushed out and lifted Adam.

Tink! action

At the same time, the iron hooks that were connected to his shoulders were chopped off, and they didn’t even vibrate.

Adam’s injuries were too severe. Therefore, even a powerful master like Fei had to be careful, afraid that he might affect the wounds and intensify them.

At this moment, this tough man who was unconscious seemed to have detected something, and his strong willpower allowed him to open his eyes and wake up by force.
