[ Red Beard ] Granero is a key general under the second Prince, Dominguez, and controls more than half of the Imperial Capital Public Security Office forces.
This seemingly rough man, though lacking the immense power and cunning of the Alluring Witch Paris, possessed Paris 'Granedo smooth-talking, sophisticated, and impressive Five-Star Class Fire-Element Dou Qi. Coupled with his ruthless and meticulous nature, he was a formidable figure in the imperial capital, St. Saint Petersburg. He was the second most important figure under the Second Prince Dominguez, and even members of many traditional noble families in the capital would respectfully address [ Red Beard ] Granero as "My Lord!"
Many people have forgotten when [ Red Beard ] first appeared in the center of power in the capital.
In his memory, it seemed that ever since six years ago, on the day that the illegitimate second prince Dominguez, was brought back to the imperial capital, St. Saint Petersburg, by Emperor Yassin against all odds, this rough-looking man, who was then just an ordinary guard, had already been standing behind the second prince. At that time, no one noticed this ordinary guard, and even the second prince, Dominguez, who had just returned to the capital, did not receive much attention from the powerful noble families.
Six years ago, the empire had eleven major war legions.
However, when Inco, the commander of the Eleventh Main Battle Legion, in a drunken frenzy over a beautiful female prisoner, openly mocked and ridiculed the Second Prince Dominguez, who had returned to the capital less than a month prior, he was ultimately beheaded by a small guard with a fiery red beard. The entire capital then remembered this small guard and that fiery red beard.
This One Sword wiped out a main battle legion of the Zenit Empire, numbering 50,000 men.
This One Sword transformed the Zenit Empire's eleven main combat legions into ten main battle legions.
No one knows what Emperor Yassin was thinking at the time. In any case, this young guard who drew his sword and killed someone at the banquet not only did not suffer any punishment, but was also rewarded for protecting his master and for his righteousness. Three days after the incident, Emperor Yassin personally promoted him, and he rose rapidly through the ranks, controlling more than half of the Imperial Capital Public Security Office forces and becoming the second most powerful general under the Second Prince Dominguez.
The most powerful general under the second prince, Dominguez, was the female prisoner who was fought over as a prize at the banquet.
Her name is Paris Hilton.
A year later, the entire capital city began to call her the " Witch ".
In Saint Petersburg, only [ Witch ] Paris is the only one who can challenge [ God of War ] Arshavin's first right-hand woman, [ Female Literary Sage ] Tanasha.
The family of Inco, the former commander of the Eleventh Main Battle Legion of the Empire who had committed numerous crimes against Dominguez, vanished into history under the suppression of various forces within the Empire and with Emperor Yassin turning a blind eye. From then on, people finally confirmed one thing: Emperor Yassin truly loved his illegitimate son, to the point that it was not impossible for him to pass on his imperial throne to him!
Thus, Dominguez, the second prince with " Red Beard " and " Witch," rose from an unremarkable illegitimate son of the emperor, neglected by various factions, to one of the most powerful figures in the entire empire under Emperor Yassin. He became the most powerful Prince who could compete with the illustrious first prince, " God of War " Arshavin, for the right to inherit the throne, and countless noble forces in the capital began to pledge allegiance to him.
Today, under Paris's arrangement, [ Red Beard ] personally brought Sun Fei and the others into the capital.
On the one hand, it's to ensure the entire plan goes smoothly.
On the other hand, [ Red Beard ] Granero was also very curious about the suddenly appearing King of Chambord. He wanted to see for himself what kind of person this young King, rumored to be like Mad Wolf who dared to tear apart any hostile opponent, really was. Was he a dragon lying in wait to soar through the skies? Or just an earth lizard that accidentally spewed a few mouthfuls of sulfuric acid flames?
Now, he has made his decision.
Of course, Sun Fei didn't know at this moment that the ordinary, tall, and strong Red Beard guard standing in front of him was none other than the first-ranking officer of the security bureau, [ Red Beard ], one of the most feared and ruthless minor figures in the capital, as described in the Old Man Zola's intelligence report. His Majesty the King thanked the enthusiastic and steady officer a few times, and then issued an expulsion order without any politeness.
[ Red Beard ] Granero showed no displeasure and politely took his leave with his soldiers.
Then, in the entire sixth-floor room, only Lampard, Čech, Torres, Oleg, and the [ Heng and Ha Generals ], the strongest members of the Chambord Expeditionary Army, remained, along with three carefully selected Saint —and of course, a bald, one-eyed giant with all his tendons severed and his mouth stuffed with rags.
This bald, one-eyed giant was none other than [ One-Eyed Mad Python ], one of the six great generals of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps, and the leader of the Blood Blade squad who was killed by Sun Fei on the road.
At this moment, the [ One-Eyed Mad Python ] had become much thinner than it had been twenty days ago, its body emaciated. Only its single eye still gleamed with a fierce light, and the hatred and resentment in its expression could not be cleansed even by pouring out all the water of the Zuli River.
"I once said that I would let you witness the annihilation of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps. That day has finally arrived. I'm glad I didn't keep you waiting too long!" Sun Fei kicked away the tattered cloth from [ One-Eyed Mad Python's ] mouth and laughed coldly, his tone filled with chilling killing intent.
The One-Eyed Mad Python struggled desperately, roaring and howling.
"Even if you scream your lungs out, it won't do any good..." Sun Fei subconsciously uttered this line, which had been repeated to death by many martial arts veterans in his previous life. Suddenly, he felt that there was something wrong with the way he was putting it; he wasn't a pervert. So he snorted and said, "The entire room has long been equipped with a soundproof magic array. Even if you smash everything in the room, your heinous companions won't hear a single sound!"
" King of Chambord, don't be too happy yet. The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps is full of experts, and it has the support of the Fren Family, one of the super powers in the capital. Do you, a small sixth-class vassal state, even deserve to be enemies with the Blood Blade?" Finally realizing that he was in a desperate situation, the bald, one-eyed giant's eyes were filled with despair, and the words he uttered were even more vicious.
Snap!
Drogba, true to his Chambord style of simplicity and directness, delivered a brutal slap across the face, splattering blood as the [ One-Eyed Mad Python ]'s jawbone, which had only recently begun to heal, shattered once more.
Sun Fei switched to [ Barbarian Mode ], and a powerful surge of energy began to emanate from his body.
Then, in the next instant, his expression suddenly changed. He was surprised to realize that there were actually some other people hiding around the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps headquarters. These people were divided into four or five groups, each in a different location, and they did not seem to be of the same kind. However, they maintained a tacit silence, as if they were waiting for something. Although there were no outstanding experts among them, there were quite a few skilled individuals.
These people are likely the other forces that have reached a secret agreement with Paris, intending to use Laozi to destroy Blood Blade and divide up its wealth accumulated over the years.
Sun Fei's mind raced, realizing this was a rare opportunity to intimidate.
"This time, hold nothing back. Everyone must unleash their full power, even if it means using your Constellation Cloth. I want you to seal off the four escape routes around the Blood Blade headquarters. Don't let a single one escape. As for those enemies who owe my Chambord City countless blood debts, I will exterminate them all!"
Sun Fei's clear yet murderous words rang in everyone's ears.
"Commander, the matter has been investigated. The annihilation of the Northern Slave-Capturing Squad is related to King of Chambord Alexander, and the person who killed my Blood Blade members in the Kingdom of Byzantium camp that snowy night was also King of Chambord Alexander!"
Inside the brightly lit stone hall, torches flickered in the cold wind, casting numerous shadowy figures.
Someone knelt on one knee and shouted.
" King of Chambord Alexander... is that the King of the sixth-rank vassal state who defeated the Judgment Knight? Hmm... if it really is him, this matter is getting a bit troublesome..." On Dashi throne shaped like two roaring lions, a middle-aged man clad in a dark, ghostly blue robe of a demonic beast, gently stroked the Teeth armrests of the throne, lost in thought, "Why does this King of Chambord want to be my enemy Blood Blade?"
"According to news from Kingdom of Black Rock, it seems we angered him by capturing too many Chambord slaves!" the kneeling man replied, bowing his head.
"For a few lowly slaves, you're going to turn against me Blood Blade? What a ridiculous reason... It seems this King of Chambord is still very green, a complete brainless fool. No wonder he dared to provoke half of the ten Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall as soon as he arrived in the capital... Hmm, even if such a person has unparalleled martial prowess, he won't amount to much. It seems I was overthinking it!" The middle-aged man in blue robes on the Twin Lion Demonic Beast Throne relaxed his thick eyebrows.
"The commander is right. This King of Chambord is just a third-rate country bumpkin. We'll deal with him sooner or later!"
"I think King of Chambord is just a pathetic wretch who's been used without even realizing it. No matter how arrogant he is now, his downfall is only a matter of time!"
"Hehe, when the time comes, I'll lead my men to storm the Kingdom of Chambord and Vengeance our brothers who died in the north!"
" The Fren Family insists on trying to win over this fool. I think we should send someone to the Chambord camp tomorrow to ask the King of Chambord why he killed my Blood Blade. If he can't give us a satisfactory answer, hehe, we can kill a few Chambord people to show him that no matter how strong he is, he can't protect all the Chambord people."
The Blood Blade members in the hall, seeing their leader's brows relax, burst into triumphant laughter and started shouting and making a ruckus. It was as if, suddenly, the lofty young king who had been pressing down on them and making them feel suffocated for the past few days was no longer as heavy as a mountain.
Second update.
Lately, updates have been reduced to two per day. I have no choice; writing is such a painful task, I have to start preparing for the Lunar New Year early.
Of course, there will be appropriate climaxes, and with some backlog, the plot will be more smooth and enjoyable.
