Hail the King

“Damn it! You are just a bunch of low-lives! Shut up right now!” Mellberg sensed an ominous feeling, and he got furious. After hearing the roars of the citizens of Chambord who didn’t even possess warrior energy or magic energy, he somehow got a little fearful. That finding shamed and angered him.

Also, he had sent out two of his masters, but it wasn’t able to get the King of Chambord to turn around and look at him.

Instead, he looked like a clown, and he made the Chambordians even more united. To this overlord who had been dominating in the region, he felt ashamed.

Behind him, there was one more Moon-Class Elite aside from Isaac. He turned around without hesitation, and he dashed toward the crowd. As his golden metal-elemental warrior energy flames shone, dashes of energy were shot toward the ordinary Chambordians who were standing outside the square! He was attacking ordinary people! It was inhumane and cruel!

“Shameless!”

“Despicable!”

“Stop!”

“You are a Moon-Class Elite, but you are attacking ordinary civilians? Do you still have the honor of a master? This is damn shameful!”

No one expected the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] to be so shameless and have no respect for themselves. The elites of Chambord who were sitting on the square were mad. Even though they wanted to stop the tragedy, they couldn’t move that fast and stop this Moon-Class Elite.

However, something no one expected occurred at this moment!

When the sharp and lethal metal-elemental sword energies were only about less than one meter away from the crowd, layers of blue, translucent ripples appeared out of nowhere. A magic array formation appeared in a sudden.

Even though the Moon-Class metal-elemental sword energies tried to break it and attacked it like raindrops in a storm, it was no use. Although this layer of magic energy shivered, it didn’t break!

In the next moment, this Moon-Class Elite of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] roared with a cold expression on his face, and he struck forward with his fists.

It was a full-on strike of a Moon-Class Elite, and it was powerful enough to shatter a mountain.

However, none of that was useful.

The firmness of that layer of blue, translucent magic energy was beyond people’s imagination, and this strike that was enough to break down the defense walls of cities only left a small dent that was less than one centimeter deep.

In the next second, this Moon-Class Elite’s face changed color. As he roared, the dent on the magic array formation bounced back and pushed him away.

“Eh...... Puff!!!!”

This vicious and arrogant Moon-Class Elite opened his mouth and puked up a mouthful of blood. Then, crackling noises sounded in his right arm, signaling the breaking of his arm bones.

As if he were a dried leaf in a storm, he flew back and landed beside [War Pirate] Mellberg. When his feet touched the group, he staggered so much that he fell to the ground.

This was shocking!

Almost everyone sitting in the VIP areas on the stage jumped up in surprise as they stared at and observed this blue and translucent magic array formation.

At the same time, this thin layer of magic energy started to change. The blue magic elements began to move around like water on a screen, and they started to expand outward.

In the blink of an eye, the magic elements went around the square and enveloped it entirely. Like a vast blue, translucent half sphere, it locked the guests on the square inside.

“What is this?”

“[Water Screen Heavenly Glare]? It can block the full-on strike of a Half Moon Elite? Could it be...... a forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation? How is this possible? That would mean Chambord could construct the most powerful water-elemental defensive magic array formation!”

“This is impossible! How much energy would it need to power this forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation? I’m afraid that even the perfect-tier magic crystals couldn’t do it...... This...... How did the Chambordians do it? How?”

“The King of Chambord...... Is he imprisoning us in this magic array formation? He...... what does he want to do?”

“Damn! This is truly shocking! He sure is brave! Haha, his nickname, [Sky Covering Fist], sure is accurate. Is he trying to capture all the masters in the region? Hahaha, he is too arrogant! He is going to pay for all this!”

“The Chambordians are this powerful? This forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation alone means that the Chambord Kingdom is comparable to a level 1 empire! The King of Chambord sure is ambitious!”

All the guests on the square were shocked.

Since they were inside this forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation, they all felt insecure and afraid.

Even the people of the Holy Church were surprised. A mysterious elderly priest who was standing in front of Priest Zola and Holy Knight Luciano and had a confident smile on his face changed his expression, and the five holy knights who were silent behind him all jumped up in surprise.

At this moment, the King of Chambord and his two beautiful fiancées already reached the fourth level on the nine-leveled platform.

From the beginning until now, this young king didn’t even turn around once, and neither did his two future queens.

[War Pirate] Mellberg finally got a little surprised and cautious. Events that were outside of their plans kept on happening, and he suddenly felt like this young king was in control of everything. The silence and no reactions from the King of Chambord finally scared him a little.

Even though the [Dragon Hunt Alliance] hadn’t attacked yet, he jumped out first and was going to be sacrificed first as well.

“That damn [Fire Blood Mercenary Group]! None of them stood out!” he thought, “I thought this little kingdom couldn’t do anything to my mercenary group, but now it seems like this little king isn’t that simple. It looks like I need to get serious!”

As Mellberg was about to make a move himself, someone finally stood out from the VIP areas.

“Alexander, what is the meaning of this? Did you use a forbidden-spell-level water-elemental magic array formation to envelop this entire square? What is this? You want to imprison all of us?” This person was aggressive. He instantly accused Fei of doing something immoral, and he called Fei by his name without holding back.

This man looked like he was about 30 years old and had short black hair. At the moment, arrogant lights were flashing in his triangular-eyes.

He was wearing a set of dark-red fancy magic armor, and it was giving out a glare. On the inside, he was wearing a light-blue shirt with an M-shaped royal symbol on it.

Everyone gasped.

Many people already recognized this man; he was Prince Simon of the Marse Empire and the group leader of the envoy group from his empire.

Behind him, there were three warriors who were dressed in light-blue royal armor of the Marse Empire, and their warrior energy flames shone brightly.

Just their auras alone were impressive. Even though they didn’t battle anyone yet, their presences told others that they were in Moon-Class.

As a prince of Marse, Prince Simon wasn’t polite at all; he was pretty much accusing Chambord of wrongdoing.

Although it wasn’t directly expressed, people could tell that he was standing on the side of [Wind Horse Mercenary Group].

Many people wondered, “Is the Marse Empire going to stand against Chambord and try to destroy it at this moment?”

Faced with the accusation, Chambord responded.

Head Minister Bast walked out of the northern area on the square elegantly, showing the etiquettes of a noble gentleman.

“My Majesty doesn’t mean any malicious intent. Chambord is just trying to be a good host to our real friends and offer them great food and wine. On the other hand, we are going to capture all the sly wolves hiding in the crowd. Just in case that these people escape from here and kill our powerless citizens, we have to do this,” Bast said with a strange smile on his face as he looked at the people of Marse, “Prince Simon, if your Marse Empire isn’t trying to be hostile toward Chambord, why are you so nervous and pressing right now?”

What Bast said was neutral and proper, instantly calming down those who were friendly yet nervous about being inside this [Water Screen Heavenly Glare].

‘Humph! I don’t care about that! Protecting your citizens is something that you should do, but the existence of this magic array formation makes me uncomfortable! I will give you guys three seconds to remove it! Otherwise, the masters of Marse are going to attack!” With an arrogant expression on his face, Prince Simon threatened.

Then, the three warriors of Marse slowly walked out, and the warrior energy flames around them intensified.

After sensing their real power, the other guests on the square thought to themselves in surprised, “They are real Moon-Class Elites!”

It looked like Prince Simon of Marse had the backing to be arrogant.
