Upon hearing this, Mataisen trembled, a look of despair welling up in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and slapped himself on the forehead with his backhand.
He was going to commit suicide.
He was utterly terrified by the scene of Sun Fei torturing the Senate's guardian, Delixi. The horrific sight made Mataisen lose all will to live. Rather than endure such horrific torture, he decided to end his own life and be done with it, to avoid further suffering.
but--
"Hmph? Scared now? If I don't allow you to die, you're not allowed to die."
With a cold snort, Sun Fei swept his gaze across the area, and instantly the power of the Moon Class realm swept over, as if the aura of Dou Qi expert had locked him down. Mataisen's body stiffened, unable to move, his palm frozen less than five centimeters from his forehead, unable to die even if he wanted to.
"You... Alexander, you're too cruel! You're not human, you're a devil!" Mataisen said, his face contorted with venom.
"Only by transforming into a demon can you suppress those who are demons. What? You think my methods are inhumane? I think the nineteen imperial warriors who died tragically before also questioned you in the same way. Their screams still echo in this gloomy hall. Can't you hear them? When you used the cruelest methods to torture and kill these nineteen of the empire's most loyal warriors, didn't you feel cruel?"
At this point, Sun Fei's gaze, sharp as a blade, swept across Mataisen's face, leaving the latter speechless. Sun Fei then continued with a mocking smile, "If you had given those nineteen soldiers a quick death back then, sparing them from the torment of living, perhaps I would give you a quick death now. But... but now you have no right to demand a dignified death!"
Mataisen's eyes were filled with despair.
Sun Fei ignored him.
His gaze swept across the faces of everyone in the hall, paused, and then looked at Ribery, saying, " Frank, you and Arthur, return to the garrison immediately. Before dawn, take control of Twin Flag City. Find all those Executioner who were wounded and stained with the blood of our brothers these past few days, and put them on trial. The guilty must be severely punished. Until new orders arrive from the Imperial Military Department, everything in Twin Flag City is under your control!"
"Yes, sir." Ribery gave a grateful salute, glanced at the others in the hall, and hesitated, "Sir, what about them...?"
"The ringleader has been brought to justice. There's no need to investigate the followers further; I've crippled their Dou Qi cultivation, reducing them to ordinary people. They've already paid the price. Order them sent back to the [ Thunder God's Whip ] Legion... As for Lord Soroyev and his group of heinous nobles, you and the garrison soldiers, discuss it and decide how to deal with them!"
"Yes, sir." Ribery led Arthur towards the door, but after a few steps, he suddenly realized something and turned back to ask, "Sir, then you...?"
"I'm going to the capital to meet our Imperial God of War." Sun Fei's eyes were cold and resolute, clearly indicating that he had already made this decision long ago.
"Huh? You're going to the capital? This... isn't that a bit inappropriate, after all... after all..." Ribery was taken aback upon hearing this.
Today in Twin Flag City, Lord Alexander has already caused quite a stir. If this gets back to the capital, it will likely cause an earthquake-like uproar. It's anyone's guess what kind of thunderous reaction the bigwigs in the capital's Military Department and noble groups will make. It will probably be a massive uproar.
Ribery had originally decided that once he returned to the garrison, he would spare no expense to kill everyone who knew about the incident today, and then take the blame himself to help Sun Fei get away with it. Now, upon hearing that Sun Fei was going to the capital, he was greatly worried.
After all, the capital city is the center of the Zenit Empire, unlike a small border town like Twin Flag City. It is heavily guarded, full of experts, and home to the empire's most elite army. Magic arrays and magic towers are as numerous as a forest within the city, and the various guard forces are incredibly formidable. Furthermore, with a powerful figure like Emperor Yassin overseeing it, although the empire is in decline, it is still not to be underestimated.
If Lord Alexander causes trouble on his trip, he will likely suffer losses.
Sun Fei knew exactly what he was thinking. Seeing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There won't be any problems. This time, it's imperative. The Crown Prince is being aggressive. If I don't retaliate, hehe, our God of War might really think I'm afraid of him. It's hard to guarantee that something like today won't happen again. Going there today will completely eliminate this threat."
Ribery opened his mouth, already vaguely guessing Sun Fei's thoughts, and was even more surprised.
However, knowing he couldn't dissuade the King of Chambord, he didn't press the matter further. After a moment's thought, he said tactfully, "My lord, you've been working hard all night. Why not rest for a day? Tomorrow morning, I will select a team of elite scouts from the garrison to escort you to..."
"No need, I'll be right back."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of silver sword wings, each over thirty meters long, spread out behind Sun Fei. He grabbed the Military Department envoy, Mataisen, who was standing dumbfounded to the side, and with a flash, he transformed into a silver streak of light, soaring straight into the sky.
A sharp sound of something tearing through the air rang out, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the horizon. It was incredibly fast, leaving a long, silvery-white mark on the dark night sky, as if the sky had been ripped open.
Ribery opened his mouth, but no words came out.
After today's events, this outstanding general, who had been stationed in a major border city in the northwest of the empire for more than ten years, suddenly realized that this was the first time he had truly seen the face of the King of Chambord.
Such a free and unrestrained king is like a divine dragon soaring through the heavens. Although the Crown Prince of the Empire and the God of War, Arshavin, is unattainable for many, he is far inferior to King of Chambord in terms of strength, vision, and magnanimity. The two are simply not even in the same league.
"Perhaps within the empire, only Emperor Yassin at the height of his power could truly suppress this young King?"
Ribery gazed at the night sky for a moment, then took out the Hero Medal from his person and put it back into the hand of his personal guard, Arthur. He patted the young and brave soldier heavily on the shoulder without saying anything more.
"You're actually going to the capital? You madman, you're courting death! Hahaha, fine, His Highness the Crown Prince will send men to tear you to pieces!"
He was being held in Sun Fei's hand like a chick, completely unable to move. Looking down, the mountains, forests, and rivers below were rushing past rapidly. All he could hear was the sharp, whistling wind like blades. The dazzling sparks from the friction of the power shield as they flew at high speed stung Mataisen's eyes.
High-altitude flight is the privilege of those at the Moon Class.
If it weren't for that layer of silver power shield that blocked all the shockwaves, with Mataisen's pitiful Five-Star Class Intermediate Stage strength, he would probably have been torn to shreds by the cold, steel-blade-like gale in the sky long ago.
Gradually, the Military Department envoy Mataisen, who had completely gone all out, was astonished to discover that the damned King of Chambord was indeed flying towards the capital, Saint Petersburg. Shocked, he couldn't help but feel a secret joy and kept uttering vicious curses.
To everyone's surprise, Sun Fei didn't even glance at him, completely ignoring him.
About thirty minutes later, scattered lights began to appear from below the ground. Then, on the distant horizon, a continuous expanse of light shone so brightly and conspicuously in the night, as if all the stars in the sky had gathered in one place. It was magnificent and enchanting, illuminating half of the sky, and an indescribable aura of majesty and nobility came towards us.
We've finally arrived in Saint Petersburg, the imperial capital of Zenit!
Saint Petersburg at night appears so magnificent, beautiful, peaceful, and enchanting.
Sun Fei did not slow down. Like a meteor falling from the heavens, his huge silver sword wings tore through the sky, leaving a long, dazzling tail of light like a comet, as he swooped down towards the capital.
Under the cover of night, His Majesty the King's eyes gleamed fiercely, filled with murderous intent.
