Hail the King Chapter 293

Chapter 293: The Courage to Fight Back (Part One)

"Hedgehogs have spikes around their bodies, and porcupines have poisons on their backs. These animals have these defense mechanisms to scare off some of their enemies. These are the only methods that the weak animals have. My image in other people's eyes is crazy, like a beast that is not scared of any kind of consequences. This would scare the people who want to reach their claws into Chambord. People who want to do that would need to prepare for the counterattack."

Fei paused a little when he said that. After seeing the mysterious man didn't get angry, he continued: "From my perspective, the only weapon the weak people have is the courage to fight back and the willingness to go down together with the enemies. This would make the powerful people really think before they do anything."

"Be willing to go down together with the enemies?" The mysterious man murmured. A long period of silence followed.

After some time has pa.s.sed, a strange smiled appeared on the mysterious man's face. It was the first time that Fei saw an emotion on this man's face. The mysterious man looked up at the sky, and his eyes wandered around the stars. As if he was thinking back to a long time ago, he murmured slowly and quietly: "Yeah, the courage to fight back…… The time pa.s.sed by too fast. Another person said similar words many years ago. Just like you, he said it me in a similar situation. In addition, he actually followed through, and he was more impressive……"

"Elder, are you talking about Emperor Ya.s.sin?" For some reason, the word "Ya.s.sin" jumped out of Fei's mouth sub-consciously as he heard that.

"Eh?" The mysterious man was surprised. "Yeah, it was him."

The man was silent after he said that.

He didn't expect the young king to be so similar to that man. Maybe the young king and the emperor were the same kinds of people. No one would know that when the mysterious man was watching over Fei for the last while, he felt like the time flowed backward for 30 years and he was witnessing that genius warrior's climb.

"I'm similar to Emperor Ya.s.sin?" Fei was a little surprised. It was the first time that he heard such a comment.

"Eh." The mysterious man nodded. After that, it was another long silence.

But after the man looked up again and saw the young king's confused yet proud expression, he suddenly realized something. His expression turned serious as he said: "You can't act like him!"

"Ah?" Fei was confused even more.

It was the first time that the mysterious man emphasized on something; the tone was really commanding.

However, Fei didn't find that off-putting. He could feel a vague caring att.i.tude behind the serious and commanding words. That touched Fei a little.

The mysterious man lightly shook his head and suddenly stood up.

In the next moment, a murderous spirit shot out of his body. As if he changed into another person, no more intimacy could be felt from him. Dashes of green warrior energies circled around him as his body enlarged a little.

He returned to the emotionless state that he was in when Fei first met him on the battlefield, and he said lightly: "Attack! Same thing, 10 strikes. This time, I'm going to unleash all of my power."

Fei was a little surprised, but he nodded as he stood up.

He knew that since the man didn't want to talk anymore, he couldn't get anything out of him even if he tried.

What happened tonight already surprised Fei.

He thought that he would never be able to have a conversation with this mysterious man who only said one to two words at a time, but who knew that this mysterious man actively engaged in a conversation with him. Although the conversation was controlled by the mysterious man and Fei didn't get all of the information that he wanted, this conversation did give him some hints. At least Fei now knew that this man was very close to Emperor Ya.s.sin, and this man knew the emperor for a long time.

Who was this man?

Fei was still asking himself that question before he punched out.

Chapter 293: The Courage to Fight Back (Part Two)

The second day.

The sun was up, and there were no clouds in the sky. The weather itself was much better.

Northern battle region.

The opponent of Chambord today was the level 3 affiliated kingdom Kedis.

The Kedis Kingdom wasn't strong. They only advanced yesterday because they were lucky enough to get a level 6 affiliated kingdom as an opponent.

However, their luck today wasn't that great.

Soon, it was proved that the outcomes of the matches were within everyone's expectation.

Even though the Kedis Kingdom was brave and didn't surrender to Chambord who was stronger than them, they weren't able to take one match off of Chambord.

It was good that the warriors of Chambord were peaceful and didn't kill anyone; some of the warriors from other kingdoms would kill when they got the chance. The Kedis Kingdom entered the losers' bracket and would try their luck there.

The matches only took about 50 minutes.

Chambord won again in the second day cleanly and advanced to the top 12 in the region.

Since the performance of Chambord was so outstanding yesterday and there were a lot of mysteries surrounding Chambord and its king, many traveling poets decided to retell the stories using their usual exaggerating ways in pubs and areas where there were a lot of people. Today, a lot of people already heard of the nicknames such as [White Haired Fast Sword], [Black Haired Vicious Fist], [Desperation Creator], [Destructive Fingers], [Son of Wind], and [Deadly a.s.sa.s.sin of Shadow], and there were more than 2,000 people here today watching Chambord's matches. The number of people here was even more than some of the matches between level 1 affiliated kingdoms.

The people in the crowd were squished against one another, and the atmosphere was hyped.

"G.o.d, who can tell me where is [White Haired Fast Sword]'s sword? Too fast! I can't……" A swordsman looked at his own sword depressed. He couldn't imagine how fast a sword needed to be so that the opponent can't even see it.

"Aha, [Son of Wind] is too cool! He looks like an elf when he pulled on his bow. He is my idol!" An archer with a full-beard shouted after he watched Torres' battle.

Scenes like these occurred all the time in the crowd.

Some of these people thought that the stories told by the traveling poets were a little exaggerated, but they now all believed that the poets were telling the truth.

Most of the people in the crowd were low-level warriors, and some of them weren't even star-warriors yet. These people were all from low-level affiliated kingdoms, and the fact that Chambord who was also a low-level affiliated kingdom had such strong power won over their acceptance.

Especially after they saw Chambord's soldiers knocking the soldiers of Kedis Kingdom off of the stage using the heavy shields, the people in the crowd exploded in cheers; they felt like they won the matches themselves, and their blood was boiling.

The only thing that disappointed the crowd was that the legendary king of Chambord didn't partic.i.p.ate in the matches today.

They didn't even see the young king in the resting area.

Where was the king of Chambord?

Fei was watching another match.

With a black cloak, he was able to cover his ident.i.ty, and he was watching a heated match in the western battle region with Angela who was also in a cloak. The level 1 affiliated kingdom Maze was really unlucky. They countered a level 1 affiliated kingdom yesterday, and they encountered another level 1 affiliated kingdom, Lodi, today.

After the tough matches in the first day, the strength of Maze decreased dramatically. The first three master warriors who partic.i.p.ated in the individual matches today didn't win; one died, and the other two were severely injured.

Hey guys, here is the third release of the week. Enjoy!
