The princess ignored the swordswoman Susan's warning, smiling as she said, "What does it matter to me whether he lets it go or not? Do you think Zhirkov had any good intentions in letting Shemak stay by the little Prince's side? It's better that he's dead, saving me the trouble of having Grand Knight Commander Roman do it himself! Heh, besides, it wasn't me who killed Shemak, but King Alexander of Chambord City!"
Upon hearing this, the female swordsman Susan was stunned.
In the center of the square.
The fierce killing intent that was closing in on him was as tangible as a physical object. To his horror, Prince Tolbinsky discovered that, faced with such pressure, even with his strength, which was close to that of Two-Star-Rank Warrior, he could barely stand. However, he gritted his teeth and stood firm, without retreating a single step.
Sun Fei approached step by step.
Just then, everyone's vision blurred, and the next moment, a tall figure appeared out of thin air in the circle, blocking Sun Fei and the Little Prince.
Who are you?
Sun Fei frowned slightly. The Barbarian's keen sense of smell made him feel danger. The warrior with long golden hair and a faint smile on his face gave him a kind of pressure he had never experienced before. This guy was at least a Three-Star Class expert.
" Roman Pavlyuchenko, Grand Knight Commander of the Zenit Empire," the blond knight replied with a smile. He lacked the haughty demeanor of Shemak and his cavalrymen, and even bowed slightly as he spoke to show his respect for the King, giving off a gentle and friendly impression.
Sun Fei's lips curled slightly upward. "Oh, so it's Grand Knight Commander Roman... What, are you here to stop me?"
Pavlyuchenko, still smiling, raised an eyebrow and said, " Your Alexander, to be honest, I'd love to fight you. You are the only true King I've ever met in the Zenit Empire's vassal states. However, today, Her Highness the Princess has ordered me to simply take the young Prince away."
"Oh?"
Sun Fei was somewhat surprised by the other party's answer. He glanced at Prince Tolbinsky, who was already drenched in sweat under the oppressive pressure of his murderous aura, yet still gritting his teeth and persevering. A thought struck him, and he nodded. "I'm not a murderer, of course you can take him away... However, that maggot named Shemak must stay. I want to kill him, so he must die!"
Grand Knight Pavlyuchenko shrugged, turned and grabbed the little Prince's shoulder. With a slight sway, everyone saw a flash of golden light, and in a blur, the smiling knight and the little Prince Tolbinsky vanished from the center of the circle as if they had never existed.
Sun Fei's pupils contracted.
Even with his level 12 Barbarian strength, he couldn't catch a glimpse of Pavlyuchenko just now. Keep in mind that the blond smiling man was carrying someone else, and his strength was probably even more terrifying than Sun Fei had guessed before. He was definitely not just three stars, but at least around four stars.
At this moment, Sun Fei once again felt the urgency of increasing his strength.
"Looks like once I've dealt with these trivial matters, I need to hurry into the world of Diablo to level up and increase my strength. This so-called monarchy seems like a complete rip-off. A mere two-star knight commander dared to flirt with the future queen at a banquet hosted by his subordinate King. If some other higher-ranking figures were to show up, a single act of greed could bring unimaginable disaster to this small kingdom... In this jungle-like world, to survive, strength and power are the only true principles!"
Sun Fei made up his mind.
He raised his head, a cold smile on his face, and slowly approached Knight Commander Shemak. Sun Fei did not immediately kill him, but instead slowly approached step by step. The clear sound of his footsteps rang out, as if stepping on Shemak's heart. He wanted to let this shameless scoundrel who didn't know his own death enjoy the fear and torment before death.
"No... no!! I am the Knight Commander of the Zenit Empire, I am Prince Zhirkov's confidant... I cannot die, you cannot kill me!" Seeing that the little Prince he regarded as his savior and Grand Knight Commander Pavlyuchenko ignored him and left, and with this King, who seemed like a killer, approaching step by step, Shemak was in despair. Death had never been so close to him before. He was on the verge of collapse, roaring madly like a hyena cornered against a wall, growling and baring its teeth in a threat.
However, the figure walking towards them did not stop at all.
"No, no, no... I apologize, I'm willing to kneel down and kiss your boots... Please, please forgive me..." Shemak pleaded, kneeling on the ground.
However, it had no effect whatsoever.
Sun Fei continued his relentless and ruthless advance, and even the civilians of Chambord City surrounding him were pumping their fists in a frenzy. "Kill him! Kill him... kill this bastard!"
Shemak pleaded, looking at the angry faces illuminated by the campfire in the distance. These people, who he had previously looked down upon as weak ants, now filled him with unprecedented fear, making him tremble uncontrollably.
finally--
"Fight to the death... [ Rock-Splitting Blast ], die!"
In a desperate move, Shemak picked up the longsword that his cavalrymen had previously discarded. His earthy yellow Dou Qi surged wildly as he launched an attack. He leaped into the air, unleashing a fierce surge of Dou Qi aura. The overwhelming momentum, like a tornado, swept towards Sun Fei.
"Hmph, a cornered beast struggling!"
Sun Fei lightly swung the [ Storm Piercer Dagger ] in his hand.
The result was predictable. Shemak was sent flying backwards like a broken sandbag, coughing up blood, and crashed heavily into the distant giant stone statue. The sound of bones breaking echoed, and this time, the high and mighty knight commander couldn't even stand up.
Whoosh!
Sun Fei appeared in front of Shemak in a flash. He had lost his patience. He grabbed the knight commander by the hair, lifted him up, and pointed his longsword at Shemak's throat. "Want to see a round table dance? Let your mother dance for you!"
Pfft!
[ Storm Piercer Dagger ] In Shemak's horrified eyes, it pierced through his neck as easily as piercing tofu. The blood-dripping tip of the sword emerged from the back of his neck. Sun Fei swung the short sword, a flash of cold light, and directly severed the head of this arrogant knight commander.
Those who offend my Chambord City... shall die!!
His head was flung onto the altar of the statue in the square. Sun Fei raised his blood-dripping short sword high and shouted. His figure was tall and majestic, like a god. His words, "Those who offend my Chambord City shall die!" struck the hearts of countless people around him like lightning. Whether civilians or soldiers, they trembled with excitement. In this era of war and chaos, they seemed to feel a sense of security for the first time.
Long live King Alexander!!
Around Sun Fei, all the citizens of Chambord City knelt humbly on the ground, bowing their heads like stars surrounding the moon, shouting " Long Live the King!" and pressing their heads tightly to the ground beneath Sun Fei's feet.
On the stone steps of the palace to the north of the distant square.
The veteran striker Best and Chambord City's top fighter Lampard stood side by side. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes shone brighter than ever before.
As the royal steward and Angela's father, the handsome old Best should have rushed to the scene to mediate the conflict immediately. However, upon seeing Sun Fei appear, he stopped. When Sun Fei angrily drew his sword and killed Zenit Empire cavalrymen, Best was initially shocked and was about to stop Sun Fei's reckless behavior. But after taking two or three steps, he remembered something and retreated.
At this moment, Best's heart was at peace.
He even spotted the two black-cloaked figures beside Prince Tolbinsky and Grand Knight Roman Pavlyuchenko at the edge of the distant square. As a competent butler, Best's eyes lit up, and he instantly guessed the true identities of the two figures. Thinking back to how he had been so obsequious on the way to Chambord City, trying to figure out that woman's intentions... But at this moment, Best suddenly realized that all the flattery was unnecessary, and he straightened his back ramrod straight.
" Best, you've worked hard this time," Lampard, who had been silent all along, suddenly said. "Although the soldiers and civilians in the city don't think highly of you right now, I think Alexander will understand your good intentions sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Best turned his head and smiled smugly, " Frank, you're wrong this time. I think Alexander already understands my intentions!"
Edge of the square.
Looking at the figure in the center of the square who had killed Shemak with One Sword strike without hesitation, and at the crowd prostrating themselves at his feet, the Princess, who had been silent all along, suddenly sighed and turned to leave.
"Let's go. Let's pretend this never happened. No member of the delegation is allowed to discuss it privately!"
Despite the bloodshed and upheaval that occurred during the Battle of Chambord City, the victory celebration banquet continued until dawn. As the sky began to lighten, civilians and soldiers reluctantly departed, leaving traces of celebration throughout the square.
Sun Fei was eventually plied with alcohol by the swarming soldiers and civilians until he was completely drunk and unconscious. Supported by Angela, Jima, and others, he staggered back to the palace and fell into a deep sleep, oblivious to everything else.
However, the mature and prudent Brook dared not relax like his King. Since Sun Fei had killed officers and soldiers of the Zenit Empire during the banquet, in order to prevent retaliation, he personally led several hundred elite soldiers to keep a close watch on the royal investiture delegation's residence, observing their every move.
Under Brook's command, the city's defenses and security were operating smoothly. Pierce, Drogba, and others, despite their exhaustion, volunteered to stand guard on the city walls at night. Apart from Sun Fei, the incompetent King, who was drunk and unconscious, no one relaxed their vigilance despite the victory.
Finally, the Sun rose from the mountains in the east, and its light shone brightly on the earth.
A new day has begun.
In the King palace, Sun Fei, still half-asleep, felt a warm sensation on his bottom and finally woke up, rubbing his eyes.
Second update.
