Hail the King - Chapter 570

Chapter 570: 570
Chapter 570: Murderous Intent



-On their way back to the military campsite-

The darkness had enveloped the land, and the mountains in the distance and the trees nearby all looked like black beasts .

There weren’t many stars in the sky; most of them were blocked by the dark clouds in the sky, making the atmosphere a little gloomy .

Because of Louise who was a playful girl, the journey back to the campsite wasn’t dull . She was funny, and the people in the group laughed regularly because of what she said .

On the way back, Louise told Angela about the changes that had occurred at Chambord, making everyone want to go back and see .

Chambord’s troop hid away the flags and kept a low-profile . The camp was located beside a river that was five kilometers away from the Kelun Town .
After inspecting the town, Fei and the other four people headed back . Of course, Louise, Pato, and Brand all followed him .

As soon as they thought that they could meet the famous warriors of Chambord who made names for themselves in the competition between the affiliated kingdoms at St . Petersburg, Pato and Brand got really excited and nervous . People like [White-Haired Fast Sword] Pierce, [Black-Haired Vicious Fist] Drogba, [Desperation Creator] Oleg, and [Destructive Finger] Cech were all now extremely famous at Chambord, and students in the university all wanted to meet them . Therefore, Pato and Brand couldn’t even focus on their steps .
Unlike [Fire Rose] Louise who was Pierce’s daughter and met these top leaders of Chambord earlier on, Pato and Brand were from poor families . Their talents were revealed after the competition among the affiliated kingdoms, and they were enrolled in the Civil and Military University . Therefore, they had never met these famous warriors before, and that was why they were so excited .

Also, like all their peers, these two kids were super loyal and held great admirations for the king .

If Fei didn’t go against a lot of people’s objections and didn’t use a lot of the kingdom’s resources on creating this public school and funding the poor students, kids like Pato and Brand wouldn’t get the opportunity to chase their dreams of becoming mages and warriors; the pressure from survival would crush them . They might not even be able to afford new clothes and good food .

It could be said that the king’s decision on creating this university changed the fates of numerous poor children and their families .

They were able to chase their dreams and become powerful masters .

Just from this aspect alone, it was easy to imagine how much admiration and gratitude the kids in the university had toward Fei .

Torres could tell that these two kids were nervous, so he smiled and chatted with them, easing their minds .

[Son of Wind] Torres was a cool-headed god-tier archer who wouldn’t even waver in front of powerful enemies . However, he was moved when he saw these two young boys .

Not long ago, his fate was just like these two kids’; he was from a poor family and had to worry about survival, and it was the king who changed his fate . Therefore, he felt very close to these two kids who were experiencing the same things .

Jessie and Alan who were from the Black-Cloth Shrine kept their silence .

What was happening touched their hearts .

When they saw these three talented kids and heard the changes that were happening in Chambord from this fun-loving girl named Louise, they were stunned, especially Jessie .

To be honest, he had a hard time believing it .
“How could a savage, battle-hungry, greedy, and aggressive person like the King of Chambord be able to accomplish so much unimaginable things? However, when these three kids glance at this king, that passion, confidence, and admiration…… it feels similar to how believers of the Holy Church worship the Pope . ”

After seeing all this, Jessie’s mind started to shake .

His intuition told him that this girl was probably honest .



“Looks like Mr . Batistuta is right, and Alan is right as well . My subjective judgment blinded me, and the rules of the church constrained my mind . I wasn’t really observant, and I should take this opportunity to see how good of a king Alexander really is,” Jessie murmured to himself .

Suddenly, Jessie stopped thinking about those matters and paused his steps; he sensed murderous spirits in the area .

Then, he realized that the King of Chambord, who was walking in the very front, stopped as well .

Fei and Jessie were the two most powerful people in the group . Therefore, they were also the ones who discovered the hidden danger first as well .

Then, Torres and Alan sensed that something was wrong and quickly protected Angela from the left and the right .

After seeing that, Louise, Pato, and Brand who were well-trained also understood what was going on . They quickly protected Angela from the back .

The five of them protected the future queen who was the weakest in the group .

“Who is it? Get out!…… Divine Sight!!!” Jessie slowly walked out .
Since Fei was now the unofficial bishop of the Black-Cloth Shrine, his identity was really prestige . Therefore, he shouldn’t do everything himself . Thus, as one of the two protectors from the shrine, Jessie had to stand out .

Dashes of silver energy flames appeared, and it looked like the divine gods were blessing Jessie . A powerful aura enveloped him, and he looked like a small sun in the night, lighting up everything in the area .
Louise and her two peers were stunned . Their eyes opened wide as they thought, “Holy power! This serious-looking young man is from the Holy Church?”

They had been wondering about Jessie’s identity, but they didn’t expect that he was a powerful master from the Holy Church .

As the silver light radiated, a special energy dispersed into the area . Like sound waves, Jessie easily detected where the people in black were hiding and lit their locations up .



“Huh? Someone from the Holy Church?”

A gasp sounded; it felt like a person was asking his peers .

Then, five people, who were all wearing big cloaks that hid their identities, appeared around the group, surrounding them from all directions . The person standing right in front of them was tall and powerful . Right beside him, there was another person who looked a little sick; his aura seemed powerful, but his energy wasn’t stable .

The person who was tall and powerful was the one who gasped, and he looked like the leader of the group . His question was directed toward the other person who looked sick .

However, the latter shook his head, telling everyone that he didn’t know why either .

“Who are you?” Jessie asked in a deep voice .

He could tell that these five people who suddenly appeared were all powerful Moon-Class Elites, and they were going to be hard to deal with since they held hostility toward this group from Chambord .

Therefore, Jessie took a step forward, and a pair of huge silver wings that had a wingspan of more than 20 meters opened on his back gracefully . He adjusted his state of mind and got ready for battle .

During this entire process, Fei didn’t even move; it felt like he was just a bystander .

His eyes locked onto the person who looked sick and had unstable energy .
“[Wings of Bless]?” The person in the lead was even more surprised . “You are so young, yet you have cultivated so much holy energy; it is truly rare . Young man, we are looking for the King of Chambord and not you, and we don’t want to fight with someone who is from the Holy Church . You may leave now!”

It seemed like this person was afraid of the Holy Church and didn’t want to touch Jessie .

“Impossible!”

Jessie flew into the air and clenched his hands . As a pair of silver light swords appeared in his hands, his silver energy wings fluttered and thrust him forward .

As a series of afterimages appeared in the air, he already dashed toward this man and struck down with his swords .

This young priest wasn’t kind and generous anymore in battle; he was cold and fierce .

Boom!

That person in the lead didn’t move . He raised his hand, and a bright dash of light appeared . He used one of his bare hands to handle Jessie’s energy swords, and loud booming noises sounded .

After about five seconds, Jessie’s body flew backward .

He didn’t hurt that person at all .

That man was even more powerful than Jessie who was a top-tier Half Moon Elite .

However, that wasn’t the most shocking discovery .

What shocked Jessie the most was that from the short battle, he discovered where these people were really from .
