This scene captivated everyone on the Black Warship and in Chambord City below, as it was a battle that seemed straight out of a myth.
In the courtyards of various post stations in the Chambord City's post station district, the envoys from various empires who had just dispersed stared in astonishment at the enormous Black Warship in the sky and the mythical battle that had taken place. The shock in their hearts was indescribable. Just who was it that could suppress a peerless ruthless figure like the King of Chambord to such an extent?
At this moment, the Zenit Empire delegation had not yet left. The Second Prince Dominguez, mounted his white horse, his silver magical armor revealing the visor of his Silence Helmet. The sword light in the sky illuminated his handsome, almost demonic face. If someone were to observe closely, they could see that this usually calm and collected imperial prince's eyes were actually filled with sorrow.
"Has the situation deteriorated to this extent? How can the enemy's forces run rampant on the empire's territory?"
Dominguez sighed and lowered his head.
However, he quickly realized something, and his expression immediately brightened. He spurred his warhorse forward, galloping towards the city gate, shouting, "Everyone, follow! We'll leave here tonight, march at full speed, and reach Saint Petersburg before dawn!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, please be careful! The situation is chaotic. Chambord City is already engulfed in war. Why don't we wait until the King of Chambord has quelled the conflict before we set off?" someone in the group suggested loudly.
"Depart immediately! Anyone who disobeys will be executed. Even if we die, we will die in the capital!" With that, Dominguez, alone on his horse, had already impatiently disappeared into the vast night.
[ The Alluring Witch ] Paris and [ Red Beard ] Granero exchanged a glance, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes. With a wry smile, Granero shouted, "Everyone, follow! Set off immediately to protect His Highness the Prince!"
A thunderous thud of hooves echoed through the streets, followed closely by more than twenty elite knights. The column charged directly out of the city, preparing to cross the river and join the main force on the other side...
"[ One Sword ], you traitorous scum, get out here!"
In the sky, Sun Fei, holding a hammer in one hand with a fierce expression, stared at the Black Warship warship opposite him and suddenly roared.
The sound was as loud as thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth.
" King of Chambord, it's been a long time!" A gaunt figure appeared on the bow of the Black Warship warship.
This person wore magnificent yellow and black armor, which faintly exuded terrifying Magic Power. He carried a sheathed two-handed broadsword on his back, the blade of which shone brightly like a glittering star. He was of medium height and build, with long flaxen hair cascading over his shoulders. His eyes were extremely frightening, faintly flashing with a red light, making him seem like an ancient behemoth, ready to devour anyone at any moment.
Although his attire was vastly different from before, and his facial expressions had also undergone some subtle changes, it was still possible to tell that this suddenly appearing figure was none other than the former top expert among the Zenit Empire's vassal states, the prince of the vassal state [ One Sword ] who had once competed with Sun Fei for first place in the individual ranking Martial Combat Competition.
"It really is you! You've really disappointed me!" Sun Fei looked him up and down, his face showing obvious disappointment.
Within ten minutes, the moment Sun Fei first saw that wisp of sword light, he had a feeling of déjà vu.
At that time, however, Sun Fei was not entirely certain.
Although the sword technique and moves are very similar to those of [ One Sword ], the sword intent has completely changed. It is far removed from the arrogant and lofty spirit of [ One Sword ] in the past, and is completely different.
The series of exchanges that had just taken place in a flash finally convinced Sun Fei that this mysterious swordsman was none other than the former " One Sword."
This discovery truly disappointed Sun Fei immensely.
The former [ One Sword ], although standing on the opposite side of His Majesty the King, was incredibly strong and arrogant, possessing the pride and dignity of a true martial artist. His talent was astonishing, and he could be considered a genius of his generation. For a time, Sun Fei even felt a sense of kinship with this powerful figure from the vassal state.
However, in less than half a year, [ One Sword ] actually abandoned the dignity and Glory of a martial artist. Not only did he betray the Zenit Empire that raised him and serve the Dortmund Empire, but he also led the Black Warship to invade the Zenit Empire... Although Sun Fei did not know what happened in the story, [ One Sword ]'s traitorous behavior was truly degenerate to a point that was regrettable.
"Disappointed? Hahaha, what? Is my longsword not sharp enough?"
Seemingly enraged by Sun Fei's disdainful and contemptuous expression, a flash of anger crossed [ One Sword ]'s face, which was then filled with arrogant laughter.
" King of Chambord, you know everything? I am no longer the loser you once suppressed. I have achieved the Great Sun-Rank Venerable position and am the legion commander of the seventh-level Dortmund Empire. My subordinates are numerous experts and warriors, invincible. My status is so noble. Haha, you are just a slightly stronger, lowly native in front of me. Whether in terms of power or personal strength, you are no match for me. What right do you have to say such things to me?"
"Lowly natives?" Sun Fei shook his head with pity, then, as if remembering something, asked, "It seems you've completely forgotten your roots. The Great War of the Empire broke out, and the Empire was already on the verge of collapse, while the Lyon Empire and the Dortmund Empire launched a sudden and overwhelming attack, their armies pressing in overnight and reaching the capital, Saint Petersburg, without any hindrance. I'm afraid you played a part in that?"
"Huh? So you already knew?" A strange look flashed across [ One Sword ]'s face, then he laughed wildly without a care in the world, "Haha, that's perfect! The Zenit Empire is on the verge of collapse, its destruction imminent. I'm afraid the capital, Saint Petersburg, has already fallen and become a sea of blood. The Zenit Imperial Family will be wiped out in an instant. King of Chambord, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I can spare your life and even bestow upon you the honor of being a squad leader in my [ Great Swordsman Legion ], commanding a hundred men. A squad leader in the Qi Empire's legion, hahaha, how prestigious that is! It's many times more noble than you being the King of this little vassal state, hahaha... How about it?"
"You're the one who knows nothing." Sun Fei shook his head and didn't say anything more.
I'm too lazy to say anything more.
More than half a year has passed since we last met, and [ One Sword ] is no longer the aloof and exceptionally talented swordsman he once was.
Gone was the extraordinary, otherworldly air he once possessed; instead, he exuded an unprecedented arrogance and demonic swirling within him. Dark red flames flickered in his eyes, as if he had transformed into a raging ancient beast, prone to wild laughter, easily pleased and angered. He had discarded his old rusty sword, donning a magnificent greatsword in its place; he had abandoned his coarse clothes, donning luxurious armor. If it weren't for the fact that his appearance still bore a seven or eight-tenths resemblance to his former self, one would have thought he was a completely different person, judging solely from his spirit and energy.
Just then--
"[ One Sword ] General, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you killing him? Didn't you say there's a peerless beauty named Angela in Chambord City? Hehehe, this prince can't wait any longer! Slaughter all the people of Chambord, you can take your revenge, I only need that beauty, hehehe!"
A sharp, piercing voice suddenly came from the main mast of the Black Warship, its tone tinged with impatience.
" Your Shinji Kagawa, rest assured, that woman named Angela will definitely be yours." [ One Sword ] turned around and answered respectfully, then turned back to Sun Fei and smiled provocatively.
To everyone's surprise Sun Fei didn't fly into a rage as he had expected. Instead, he looked calmly at [ One Sword ] with pity and slowly said, "Come, let's fight! You despicable and pathetic traitor, let me, your former opponent, shatter your pathetic pride and help your fallen soul find release and peace!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Fei suddenly looked up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light and bursting with killing intent.
