Williams instinctively wanted to laugh out loud and say something like, "What are you, a mere vassal King, anyway?" to salvage the situation and boost morale.
However, when he looked up and saw King of Chambord Alexander's elegant figure under the moonlight, especially his bright eyes that were calm yet brewing a terrible rage, for some reason, a sense of terror he had never experienced before instantly overwhelmed him. In that instant, he felt his mouth go dry, and when he opened his mouth, he couldn't utter a single word.
The soldiers of [ Thunder God's Whip ], whose eyes were usually accustomed to killing and cold-blooded indifference, couldn't help but show a look of horror.
These battle-hardened, elite soldiers of the empire, extremely sensitive to danger and the aura of slaughter, felt, in that instant, a vast ocean of bloodlust surge before them, engulfing them. It was as if they were facing not one person, but an endless army of thousands, giving each soldier an unprecedented sense of invincibility.
"You... you... King of Chambord... why... how did you get here?" Stunned for a long time, Williams sat stiffly on his horse, his throat bobbing and his lips dry. He had completely lost his previous arrogance and was stammering, not knowing what to say.
He suddenly realized that in this world, some people only need to be met once, without fighting or saying a word, and their opponents will immediately understand how terrifying they are.
King of Chambord Alexander was undoubtedly such a person.
To be honest, before this, Williams, a confidant of the Crown Prince and an elite member of the Iron-Blooded Camp, was arrogant and conceited. Although he had heard of the deeds and fame of the King of Chambord, he did not take this minor vassal King seriously at all. He had boasted to his colleagues many times that his purpose in coming to Twin Flag City was to make the King of Chambord suffer, and to take this opportunity to trample the King of Chambord underfoot, using the name of the King of Chambord, a new imperial nobleman, to rise to power and become a rising star in the military.
But it was only at that very first meeting that Williams realized how ridiculous his previous arrogance had been.
At that moment, for no reason at all, fear, an overwhelming wave of fear, instantly dispelled all his hopes and courage. He could not even manage to calmly utter a complete sentence under the watchful gaze of King of Chambord.
opposite.
Under the bright moonlight, the tall figure, draped in silver frost, stood out like a god, aloof and unparalleled, only to be looked up to. He didn't even glance at him, and when Williams gestured for a question, he didn't answer, nor did he bother to. He simply waved his hand lightly.
"Ten...!!!!"
The 20,000 garrison soldiers, their eyes blazing with fury, roared loudly.
The sound was like the Earthcore Flame, suppressed for countless years, finally breaking through all obstacles and bursting forth, rolling like thunder, shattering the countless stars in the sky.
"Nine...!!!!!!!"
"Eight...!!!!!!!"
The garrison soldiers roared in unison, counting down the ten-breath time limit given by Sun Fei.
Each roar was like a heavy hammer blow.
Each hammer blow carries immense force!
Each hammer blow struck mercilessly into the hearts of the elite soldiers of [ Thunder God's Whip ], allowing these proud senior soldiers of the main combat legion to experience for the first time the immense power unleashed by these ragtag soldiers they despised—power far exceeding the superior equipment and sharp weapons they themselves possessed.
These angry roars struck Officer Williams ' heart heavily, turning his face pale and revealing an unavoidable panic in his eyes.
He dared not order the [ Thunder God's Whip ] army to retreat.
In that case, almost everything from this trip to Twin Flag City would be for naught, and I would become the victim of the Crown Prince's wrath, a pitiful scapegoat.
But he dared not defy King of Chambord's warning and refuse to retreat.
Within the empire, who doesn't know the tyranny and barbarity of King of Chambord, " One Fist Spanning the Heavens "? Even the high and mighty Judgment Knight of the Knights' Hall were rendered powerless by his brutality. The souls of the seven old noble families of Twin Flag City haven't even faded away. In ten breaths, if he truly doesn't withdraw his troops, Williams has no doubt that King of Chambord will turn on him... To this barbaric king, is there any difference between killing him and killing a dog?
At that moment, Williams suddenly felt that he was a complete tragedy.
If only he had stayed hidden in the camp and waited for the special envoy, Lord Mataisen, to handle things, he would have been in a bind. Now, he was caught in a dilemma, beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead and back. The immense pressure made him feel like an ant on a hot pan, and he wished he could just use the sword in his hand to slit his own throat and die.
"How dare you! A mere tens of thousands of rabble soldiers make such a ruckus! Are you plotting a mutiny and betraying the country?"
Just as Williams was sweating profusely and about to faint from anxiety, a thunderous roar suddenly came from afar. The violent sound waves even suppressed the countdown of the 20,000 garrison soldiers. Three dazzling streaks of light flashed in the distance, and powerful Dou Qi qi surged. Amidst the flames, three arrogant figures suddenly appeared in front of the two armies.
"It's the Knights' Hall's experts! Great, they've finally arrived..."
Upon seeing the three figures, Williams breathed a sigh of relief as if he had met a savior. All the pressure was finally relieved, and he felt as if he had been pulled out of the water, waking up from a nightmare. He almost collapsed onto his horse.
"My lords, the garrison soldiers have mutinied. We urgently request your assistance in suppressing the rebellion. I will immediately report to Special Envoy Mataisen and request commendation on your behalf!"
Amid the sound of horses' hooves, Williams' eyes darted around. He was really unwilling to stay there any longer, so he led two hundred personal guards and galloped away, quickly disappearing into the vast night.
Across the street, at the entrance to the main camp.
"My lord, should we give chase?" Seeing this, the generals, including Gago, were anxious, fearing that the commotion would be too great and the news would get out. If they couldn't strike swiftly, the special envoy Mataisen and the city lord Soroyev would be on guard, and rescuing Ribery would become much more difficult.
"It's alright." Sun Fei smiled calmly and waved his hand lightly.
This action made Gago and the others realize that Lord Alexander had already made up his mind, and they immediately felt relieved.
opposite.
The three Knights' Hall exuded powerful auras.
The three men, all dressed in black robes and without armor, appeared to be around forty or fifty years old. Their eyes were cold and cruel, seemingly devoid of any human emotion. They looked at the crowd with the utmost contemplation, like high-ranking deities looking down upon mortals. Their sharp gaze swept over the garrison soldiers before finally settling on Sun Fei and Gago at the front.
The three men, with their keen eyesight, quickly realized that these people were the leaders of the mutinous soldiers.
They disregarded the three- or four- Star Class Dou Qi fluctuations emanating from officers like Gago, and even more so from Sun Fei, whom they sensed as having the slightest trace of Dou Qi and magic fluctuations, thus regarding him as a strategist.
"You are truly courting death! You lot, immediately cripple your own Dou Qi Star Vortex, destroy your Dou Qi channels, kneel down and surrender! The rest of you, discard your weapons and return to the camp! Otherwise, tonight the Knights' Hall will once again activate the power of first execution and subsequent reporting granted by Emperor Yassin, and massacre the Twin Flag City!" Among the three experts, one of them was tall and thin, with long, flowing hair and robes billowing without wind. His voice was cold and indifferent, and he spoke from his superior position with no room for argument.
Knights' Hall!!!!!!!!!
These three words, like three majestic ancient mountains, carried an indescribable awe-inspiring power, unassailable and overwhelming, making everyone breathless.
The immense anger emboldened the soldiers to confront an elite legion like the [ Thunder God's Whip ].
However, when faced with the experts from this legendary, most terrifying organization in the empire, some people finally showed fear on their faces.
Even officers like Gago's expression changed.
The strength of these three Knights' Hall exceeded their expectations. If it weren't for Lord Alexander's timely arrival, their previously discussed plan would have been impossible to realize, and they would have been wiped out by the enemy... Thinking of this, Gago and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
All eyes of the garrison soldiers and officers were focused on Sun Fei.
"Keep counting, there are three breaths left!"
King of Chambord's answer gave everyone a jolt of energy. His voice seemed to possess a strange Magic Power, instantly sweeping away their tension and fear.
"Three...!!!!" the soldiers roared.
"You... um? You are... King of Chambord Alexander?" Completely ignored, the Knights' Hall expert who had previously uttered his arrogant words flew into a rage. His eyebrows shot up, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. But suddenly, as if remembering something, his expression changed, and he burst into laughter. "I recognize you! You are King of Chambord Alexander King of Chambord! Good, very good, excellent! I was just about to go to Chambord City to find you, this ignorant madman, and you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!"
Sun Fei remained expressionless and unmoved.
"Two...!!!!!!!!!" The garrison soldiers were still counting down.
"Do you know who we are?" The three Knights' Hall recognized Sun Fei and immediately showed eager expressions. The tall, thin master among them licked his lips and laughed wildly, "You little bastard, don't think that the Knights of the Imperial Knights' Hall only have the Ten Judgment Knight! Hahahaha! Four of the Ten Judgment Knight are my disciples, and I am one of the Five Trial Knight, above even the Judgment Knight — Papastathopoulos! This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for without any effort! Excellent! Today, we'll take down this arrogant bastard who dares to challenge the dignity of the Knights' Hall and restore the prestige of our Knights of the Knights' Hall!"
"One...!!!!" The soldiers' countdown was coming to an end.
Sun Fei, who had remained silent all along, suddenly looked up and said impatiently, "You've talked too much nonsense. What kind of damned Trial Knight are you? In my eyes, you're all a bunch of trash!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Fei casually flicked his finger.
A silver sword aura, like a dazzling firework, was beautiful and alluring, but vanished in an instant.
"You... uh... so fast... your sword energy... poof!!!!"
The tall, thin Knights' Hall had no time to react before the sword energy pierced his body. In an instant, his maniacal laughter turned into an expression of utter shock, his eyes filled with utter horror, disbelief, astonishment, terror, fear... all the complex emotions froze on his face in that instant.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but suddenly his whole body jolted, and with a bang, he exploded like a watermelon hit by a giant hammer. Tiny pieces of bone, flesh, blood, and severed limbs flew everywhere, as if a firecracker had been lit and exploded!
