Hail the King Chapter 712

Chapter 712: Cruel Battle (Part One)

[Demonic Woman] Paris was an essential member of Second Prince Dominguez's team, and she had the ability to make the best possible decisions in crises, as well as the prestige and authority to gather up all the forces that Dominguez had within St. Petersburg.

By consolidating the forces that were previously chaotic, it might help the Empire to pa.s.s this dangerous time.

On top of that, the forces that Second Prince Dominguez had control over in St. Petersburg needed an intelligent commander to survive through this time as well.

"Ok, it is decided then. There isn't much time, so let's make this quick. Chambord can also send over a master to help Your Highness in this mission!" Fei said as he agreed with the plan.

The king also wanted Second Prince Dominguez to quickly organize and obtain a significant number of troops outside St. Petersburg. Even if they couldn't turn the situation around, they could at least act as a buffer zone between St. Petersburg and Chambord, helping Chambord not to get involved in the war before all the preparation was done.

Therefore, Chambord should support Dominguez both from the perspective of selfishness and correct decision making.

With a powerful master like Fei on the hill, the soldiers of the united troops couldn't get within 100 meters of them since the king's golden energy sphere enveloped the area.

During this time, Fei quickly helped Dominguez, Granello, and other soldiers to heal up, and he then led the charge and helped them to get out of this situation.

With a wave of his fist, a path of blood was created. All the soldiers of Leon who were charging at them were instantly turned into ashes.

"Power! Power! Power!" The soldiers that Second Prince Dominguez still had with him all roared after seeing this.

Fei's invincible presence terrified the troops of the Leon Empire, and they quickly backed off like falling tides. Then, more than a dozen masters who were enveloped in warrior energy and magic energy flames dashed out of their formations. They wanted to stop Fei, but they were exploded in mid-air after Fei raised his finger. All of them died without having the chance to back off.

Shocked, the bugles sounded, and the troops of Leon quickly backed off and created distance between them and Fei.

As Fei protected Dominguez's group and walked them to safety, the enemies didn't dare to chase and only 'escorted' them out of the area that they had complete control over.

After Dominguez and his men were safe and secure, Fei turned around and dashed toward St. Petersburg with Paris.

"Only vicissitude and chaos will test the character of heroes. People say that the King of Chambord is way too powerful, has too much autonomy, and will be the tumor of the Empire, but he is the first person to stand out… Perhaps the Empire is fortunate to have such a powerful king!" Dominguez thought to himself as he watched Fei and Paris turn into a dash of golden light and disappear into the distance.

[Red Beard] Granello had been silent, and he was thinking of something else. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Your Highness, why did you send Ms. Paris to the Capital? Paris just…"

Paris lost her composure when Fei appeared, and everyone saw it. People like Dominguez and Granello were all wise people, and they knew what it meant.

"Paris has been with me for many years, but she is a woman after all." Dominguez understood what Granello meant, and he smiled and explained, "Many people think that Paris is my woman, but that isn't true. She finally fell for a man, so why would I try to keep her around me? King Alexander of Chambord is a man who is worthy of her love."

Granello was a little stunned after hearing this.

"You are the same. You have been with me for many years, and you have blocked at least 20 a.s.sa.s.sination attempts for me. There are more than a dozen deep scars on your body from fatal injuries. After the Empire gets through this chaos, you should take a good break. At least you should marry a nice woman and have kids, pa.s.sing on your bloodline," Dominguez said with a smile.

Although Granello had been with him for a long time and was of high status, he never got married since the fights between different forces at the Capital were fierce and dangerous.

Staring at the bright Sun in the sky, they both fell into silence.

Chapter 712: Cruel Battle (Part Two)

Fei and Paris stood on [The Throne of Chaos] and were in stealth. They dodged the search of the masters on the side of the united troops, and they quickly got close to St. Petersburg.

Seeing St. Petersburg surrounded by countless enemies like the ocean around an island, even Paris who had read many books and was very intelligent got stunned.

This was a horrifying war.

An orange magic energy sphere that was too huge to imagine enveloped St. Petersburg, and it protected the entire city. Dashes of magic energies were shot at this energy sphere with long tails, looking like raindrops of a ma.s.sive storm that were landing on the beach. Yellow ripples appeared, and the energy sphere shook violently, looking like it was about to break at any moment.

During individual combat on and above the realm of Moon-Cla.s.s, mages didn't have real advantages. However, during wars, the power of magic energy far exceeded warrior energy.

Even if there were only low-level mages, once they reached a certain number, the amount of damage they could deal on the battlefield couldn't be matched by the same number of warriors.

If it weren't for the orange magic energy sphere, St Petersburg would have been wiped out by the magic attacks.

However, this magic energy sphere could only defend against magic energies but not physical attacks.

Right now, the moat around St. Petersburg was already filled with corpses and blood, essentially got turned into flat land. Many soldiers who were in yellow, black, and other various colored armors stepped over their peers' corpses, pushed forward sieging equipment, and pa.s.sed through the magic energy sphere.

They were launching attacks at the defense wall of this great city.

On top of ordinary soldiers, Star-level Warriors dashed forward and leaped into the air. They got to the defense wall of St. Petersburg within a few seconds, and they climbed up the defense wall that was hundreds of meters tall without using any tools. Like agile monkeys, they dodged the arrows and the stones that were thrown down the wall, and they got to the top of the defense wall before killing the soldiers of Zenit mercilessly.

The masters of Zenit also fought back, and deadly battles took place on and outside the defense wall.

Burning smoke and cold corpses were everywhere.

If the defense wall of St. Petersburg weren't as tall as it was, the corpses that were piled underneath it would be enough for the invaders to step on and walk up to the top of the defense wall.

There were quite a few Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who were partic.i.p.ating in the battle, and they easily created a lot of disruption. Even though they couldn't change the outcome of the battle that quickly, they were like sharp blades that brought huge losses to either side.

In terms of the number of Moon-Cla.s.s Elites, Zenit was at a clear disadvantage.

In most times, Zenit could only use the terrain of the enormous defense wall, the gigantic magic arrows, and powerful magic cannons to attack the Moon-Cla.s.s Elites on the enemy's side. Even though it wasn't very useful, it made sure that the city wouldn't be conquered by the enemy masters quickly.

This war looked like it was taking place in h.e.l.l.

The sky was covered by thick smoke, and the nose-piercing smell of blood permeated the air. Blood formed rivers, and corpses piled into mountains. The soldiers on both sides were like ants, and hundreds of them died at every second while colorful warrior energy and magic energy flames burned. All of this looked like a nightmare.

This was the first time that Fei saw such large-scale warfare with his own eyes.

Human lives were as cheap as gra.s.s, and even the Star-level Warriors who had high status in the eyes of ordinary people were only stronger ants. They couldn't control their own fates, and they would die easily like the candlelight in crazy wind.

Death enveloped the area, and the war continued.

It was fortunate that St. Petersburg was still under the control of Zenitians after one and half days of the war; it didn't get conquered as Fei expected.

During this war, the preparation that the Royal Family of Zenit had been doing for the last 20 years became crucial.

After being sieged by the united troops for more than 30 hours continuously, St. Petersburg held up.

This was probably something the Ormondians and Leonians didn't expect. As a result, they paid a hefty price.

Looking down from the sky, Fei and Paris did a rough estimation and knew that the united troops lead by the Ormond Empire and the Leon Empire lost more than 100,000 soldiers in the last 30 hours or so.

"What should we do? Should we sneak into the city or kill some enemies?" Fei laughed as he clenched his fist.
