Hail the King Chapter 852: Argument In The Imperial Military Headquarters

Under fear, their morale tanked!

After the masters of Chambord mercilessly killed the few Moon-Cla.s.s Elite who were fighting back, this group of people who were put together temporarily finally collapsed; it was unavoidable.

Like homeless dogs, they ran in all directions and tried to flee.

This was a tragic scene.

If they were able to concentrate and gather together with a good leader, they might be able to put up a fight with their numbers advantage. Unfortunately, as soon as the first person fled, everyone else could no longer unify and defend themselves.

The dozen-or-so Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who had survived this far all turned into dashes of light, and they ran in all directions.

Jessie, Dessler, and Inzagi were in a completely advantageous position, but it was impossible for them to kill all the invaders. After all, they were only three people, and they couldn't clone themselves!

“Never mind, we don't need to chase.”

Inzagi stopped moving and looked at the few Moon-Cla.s.s Elites who already flew far away in the sky. He laughed, “We can let these cowards live, and they will spread the news about how powerful Chambord is. Then, fewer idiots will try to come and bully us! Although we aren't afraid, it is annoying to deal with them all the time!”

Dessler nodded lightly and stopped as well; it was clear that he agreed with Inzagi's words.

A smile appeared on Jessie's face, and this handsome young priest said, “I hope the G.o.ds will forgive me for my sins. I really don't want to kill them.”

Both Inzagi and Dessler were at a loss for words, and they thought to themselves, “Didn't this priest who said that he likes peace kill the most people? He waved his hand and killed several Moon-Cla.s.s Elites! He has the face to say that he doesn't want to kill?”

After spending time together, people were able to tell that this young priest looked gentle but was stubborn as h.e.l.l in battle. Once he decided on something, even nine dragons couldn't pull him back.

Right now, shocking explosions sounded in the high sky where strong wind existed.

With his eyes tightly closed, Dessler raised his head slightly and 'looked at' the battle in the high sky, and he said in hesitation, “Should we move together and help Elena Her Highness?”

Priest Jessie couldn't help but smile.

On the other hand, Inzagi patiently explained the situation to this peer who joined Chambord not long ago, “Don't worry. That Albeda from the Anji Empire is only a Sun-Cla.s.s Lord in the Morning Sun Realm, and his realm isn't stable. Queen Elena advanced to the Sun-Cla.s.s Realm a long time ago, and she is probably above the Morning Sun Realm and is at the Rising Sun Realm. You might not know, but Elena Her Highness is a talented warrior, and she is only weaker than Alexander His Majesty in Chambord. She is the No.2 Master of Chambord, and Albeda is no match for her!”

As soon as he said this, a blood rain poured down the sky.

Then, the explosions that were created by the colliding green light and fire and ice energies suddenly disappeared.

As a bright red light flashed by, the three young men felt like their visions blurred for a moment. Valkyrie Elena in red armor appeared in front of the three young men with Sun-Cla.s.s Lord Albeda in her hand. This man still had a few breaths in him, but he had fainted already!

Elena's strength was even beyond Inzagi's most optimistic estimation. When facing this experienced and talented Valkyrie, Albeda wasn't even able to use his Sun-Cla.s.s Anomaly. If she didn't want to capture him alive, she would be able to kill this opponent who was in the Morning Sun Realm with less than ten arrows!

“Mr. Brook has issued a command. I need to go back to protect Chambord City, and you three can head to St. Petersburg with this captive and meet His Majesty.” Elena's voice sounded as she tossed Albeda to Priest Jessie.
“Ah? His Majesty is in the Capital of Zenit?”

“His Majesty is back?”

The three young men were all pleasantly surprised.

For the last while, all kinds of rumors were pa.s.sed around. Although the members of Chambord never doubted Fei, they were a little worried for the king. Therefore, they were thrilled when they heard that Fei had returned safely and was in St. Petersburg, and they couldn't wait to see him; they wanted to teleport to him right now.

-St. Petersburg, Imperial Military Headquarters-

This black building looked majestic and serious. Both the color and the atmosphere of this place made people feel a little scared.

This was the headquarters of the most powerful and cruel force in Zenit, and it had the most influence in the Empire. All the movements of close to one million Zenitian soldiers were controlled by the officials in this building, and the orders that left this place daily determined the life and death of many people!

It was less than 24 hours away from the deadline that D'Alessandro, the No.2 Disciple of the Continental Martial Saint, gave Zenit. The people inside St. Petersburg were anxious and nervous.

Facing an opponent whose status and strength was indefensible and the despicable and vicious co-conspirators, Zenitians had to make a decision, especially the n.o.bles; they had to react according to their own benefits, and the high-level officials in the Imperial Military Headquarters were no different.

Right now, there was an intense argument happening in the meeting room at the center of the building.

The objective of this meeting was to determine how to deal with Imperial Martial Saint Alexander who was also the King of Chambord. On the one side, there was the talented young warrior who was canonized as the Imperial Martial Saint by Emperor Ya.s.sin himself after saving St. Petersburg, representing the future of the Empire. On the other side, there was the arrogant and vicious D'Alessandro who was the disciple of the most powerful human on Azeroth and wanted to kill the King of Chambord. This decision was hard to make for a lot of people.

Of course, it was very easy for others.

“Since most of us agree to charge the King of Chambord with a crime against humanity, a small number of us stayed silent, and less than five of us disagreed, I think we've reached our conclusion. At least the Imperial Military Headquarters could decide on this matter!” A fat man announced proudly. He had a thick red beard, and he was wearing a fancy robe.

He was Andrew Semak, the head of the Semak Family that was a level 1 n.o.ble family. He had been one of the top-tier officials who had control over the ten military cities in the southern region and governed the region.

Aside from the reason that the Ten Empire United Troops were tough to deal with, the fact that Andrew Semak had been slacking off and allowed the military forces in the region to weaken was also one of the key reasons as to how the southern region of Zenit fell into the hands of the invaders.

Unfortunately, the Semak Family had roots deep into the political system and had a strong influence. After he escaped back to St. Petersburg, he was investigated by the Royal Family, but his n.o.ble t.i.tle was kept, and he still had a say in the Imperial Military Headquarters.

Andrew Semak was one of the key figures on the side of people who believed in sacrificing the King of Chambord to ensure the safety of Zenit.

In the last while, he had been hosting meeting after meeting and persuaded many other n.o.bles. His goal was to submit to D'Alessandro to obtain peace and stability.
