Hail the King Chapter 372

Chapter 372: Greeting from the Saint Seiyas (Part One)

At the moment, these four cavaliers of Jax felt like these two devils in front of them could even handle 200 of them.

Their mounts were Sand Tigers that dominated in the desert, but they were useless in this encounter. When these level 2 Sand Tigers cast [Sand Spikes] and [Sand Traps], the magic energies that formed the spikes and traps all collapsed as if they encountered a huge obstacle.

After the cavaliers of Jax took a better look at the light flames around the hooves of these horses, the thick scales on their bodies, and the sharp teeth in their mouths, the survived cavaliers of Jax realized that their enemies' mounts weren't regular horses but special Demon Beasts. The auras of higher-level Demon Beasts were able to destruct the magic spells of the Sand Tigers quietly.

They couldn't match their opponents in terms of archery skills.

They couldn't match their opponents in terms of weapons.

They couldn't match their opponents in terms of strength.

They couldn't match their opponents in terms of mounts.

"Who are these two? The Royal Guards of Zenit?"

The four cavaliers of Jax gasped as they realized that it was a bad idea not going to a fortune teller today since they encountered the elite scouts of Zenit.

After they realized what was going on, they no longer dared to stay here longer and start the second charge; they kicked the Sand Tigers with the spurs and tried to escape.

These four cavaliers went in four different directions as they understood each other's intention. They had to go back and pa.s.s on the message - "The reinforcement from Zenit is here! They are here now! They are terrifying!"

Although the Sand Tigers were fast, they weren't faster than the arrows.

John Terry and Ruiz Smith didn't give the enemies the opportunity to escape. They both shot out an arrow each and killed two cavaliers. They knocked out the other two cavaliers and tied them to the back of their mounts.

After the battle was over, John Terry and Ruiz Smith stripped the armors and weapons off of the corpses, and they decapitated all of them and piled the heads together. They then stabbed a spear on the ground and placed the head of the leader of this cavalier group on the tip of it, and they took a brown cape and placed it under the head.

Like a flag of death, this cape fluttered in the air with these words on it -

"Greeting from the Saint Seiyas who are under the command of the king of Chambord."

After this was done, John Terry and Ruiz Smith both kept their king's thrifty style.

They packed up all the items of their enemies, including broke blades and torn armors. They also took the 14 Sand Tigers that were still alive. These well-trained Demon Beasts were ferocious at first, but they no longer dared to resist after the two Roaring Flame Beasts roared at them.

The night arrived.

It was ultrcold in the desert during the winter time; water would be instantly frozen into ice outside.

It was impossible to travel in this weather, and the first brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion] had to camp beside a hill to avoid the strong wind. As the herald brigade of [Wolf Teeth Legion], they traveled more than 800 kilometers in two days and was now only 100 kilometers away from Dual-Flags City.

This speed was already very fast.

If everything was smooth, they could be able to enter Dual-Flags City when the sun appears on the horizon tomorrow.

Looking from the above, the campsite looked like a turtle. There was an oval-shaped inner camp, and there were also six branch camps that looked like the four legs, the head, and the tail of a turtle. Any kinds of movement outside of the campsite would be spotted instantly.

Inside the campsite, there were a lot of brand-new tents; they could bring the most amount of warmth to the soldier. Also, there were lots of patrolling soldiers who were wearing thick jackets.

These were the items that Fei asked from the Military Headquarter after thinking about the weather at the Jax Battle Zone and listening to old Aryang's advice. Perhaps it was due to Fei's fame after he defeated the three Moon-Cla.s.s Elites, perhaps it was due to Angela's hard work, perhaps it was due to the fact that the Chambord Kingdom was already a monumental force of the empire, the officials at the Military Headquarter who were known to be greedy and selfish didn't procrastinate at all. After Fei asked them for the items, [Wolf Teeth Legion] got everything the next day.

As the Legion Commander, Fei's image instantly became brighter in the eyes of the soldiers.

To the ordinary soldiers, fame and status of the Legion Commander were all useless. In comparison, having the ability to get everything from the Military Headquarter was a lot more valuable. From their own experiences, even the ten main battle legions of Zenit didn't even get the full funding and equipment this fast from the fat and greedy officials.

Chapter 372: Greeting from the Saint Seiyas (Part Two)

Since they were already near the battlefield, Brigade Commander Shevchenko took the advice of the Deputy Brigade Commander Cech and hid about 100 elite scouts around the campsite in case the cavaliers of Jax came to hara.s.s them.

Inside the huge white tent at the center of the campsite that was lit up, Shevchenko, Cech, Drogba, Pierce, Kanort, and Huerk were looking at the map that was on the table. They carefully studied the terrain around Dual-Flags City as they listened to the reports from the scouts they sent out today.

They were trying to do the last bit of preparation for tomorrow's meet up. As long as this brigade entered Dual-Flags City, it would have completed the first mission that Zenit gave to [Wolf Teeth Legion].

After that, Shevchenko and others would only need to coordinate with the defending forces at Dual-Flags City and hold against the invasion from soldiers of Jax until the rest of [Wolf Teeth Legion] gets here.

"Not bad! You two did a good job! Haha, there are two captured enemies?"

After Drogba listened to the report from John Terry and Ruiz Smith, he laughed and praised them; he wished that he was there to kill the enemies. He then looked at the two beat-up cavaliers of Jax and shouted angrily, "So these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds killed the thousands of civilians of Zenit whose corpses we saw on the way here? Fu*k! Too bad that fatty Oleg isn't here. Otherwise, he will make these two wish that they could be killed!"

At this moment, these men missed that flatterer Oleg. Although that fatty loved to flatter others, he was good at interrogations. If he was here, these two cavaliers would tell him everything after half an hour or so.

"Eh, kill us if you want. Don't be too proud of yourselves! Our head commander Prince Heitinga is coming with reinforcement, and your skulls will all be made into wine cups!" one of the cavaliers shouted as he struggled.

No wonder the cavaliers of Jax were known for their viciousness. Even though these two cavaliers were prisoners, they were still ferocious like the wolves who have fallen to the trap of hunters. Although the language of the Jax Empire was a little bit different compared to the language of the Zenit Empire, they were similar enough for the warriors inside the tent to understand what these two prisoners were saying.

Pia! Pia!

John Terry and Ruiz Smith grabbed onto the two prisoners and slapped them; these two vicious cavaliers of Jax were instantly knocked out.

"Lock them up and interrogate them separately. Try to get to know the distribution of troops of the enemies," Shevchenko and Cech looked at each other and ordered. Although these two cavaliers didn't seem like they know much, any information about the enemies was good.

Soon, John Terry and Ruiz Smith took the prisoners out of the tent.

"According to the reports from the 50 Saint Seiyas, it seems like the enemies are powerful. The mayor of Dual-Flags City Soroyev pulled all of the soldiers back into the city to defend, but it allowed the invaders to enter our territory and commit crimes. Technically, we are already in the enemies' territory. We have to be careful from now on. Let's enter Dual-Flags City by tomorrow morning."

Shevchenko was the prince of an affiliated kingdom, and he had some experience regarding leading troops. He was patient, valiant, intelligent, brave, and powerful; these were the exact reasons why Fei decided to make him the brigade commander.

Cech nodded and said to others, "We have to be careful and change tonight's patrolling s.h.i.+fts more frequently. Since the enemies lost about 300 soldiers today to our scouts, they might try to raid us in the night. We can't allow anything to happen!"

The other battalion commanders took the order and left the tent.

Now, there were only Cech and Shevchenko in the tent.

After they looked at each other again, Cech walked out of the tent and told the guards not to let anyone in. He then closed the gate to the tent and returned.

Suddenly, he and Shevchenko both bowed at the back of the tent and said, "Mr. Legion Commander, are you happy with our arrangements?"

"Hahaha! Great! Didn't I tell you guys that do whatever you deem necessary? Just treat me as a n.o.body! In terms of commanding the troops and strategizing about the war, I'm not as good as you guys yet!"

As a burst of laughter sounded, a tall and muscular figure walked out from the back of the tent.

Who could it be if it wasn't the king of level 1 affiliated kingdom – Chambord, the level 2 n.o.ble of Zenit, [Wolf Teeth Legion]'s Commander, and the No.1 Commander of the Jax Battle Zone?
