Hail the King

Chapter 363: Old Story

Chapter 363: Old Story

The Elder Princess was clear. Except for the southern battle zone [Zenit’s God of War], Arshavin, was in, one battle zone near the southwestern border that was connected with the Eindhoven Empire and one battle zone near the western border that was connected with the Jax Empire were being opened. Fei was able to choose one of them and take his [Wolf Teeth Legion] there.

Although No.1 Commander of a battle zone sounded cool, Fei quickly sensed the intent behind the title.

“Does the Military Headquarter of Zenit really want me to battle against a level 2 Empire using only one legion? Aren’t they afraid of me losing and resulting in Zenit being conquered?”

Although Fei was saying that, he was already thinking about which battle zone he should choose. The king was sure that there was no way around it since Tanasha already told him this, and he had to make a decision.

“Emperor Yassin His Majesty and the ministers at the Military Headquarter all have trust in you. The name of [Sky Covering Fist] is already famous throughout the empire, and everyone knows that Chambord has a lot of powerful warriors. With the strong soldiers and top-tier equipment, Chambord is no doubt the No.1 affiliated kingdom in Zenit. This is the perfect opportunity for you to earn military merits and advance the kingdom further......” Tanasha said.

Fei shook his head.

He looked at the huge map on the wall and had numerous thoughts in his head.

He replied, “Chambord still has too little accumulations, and I don’t want my loyal subjects to die for nothing. I’m a generous person, and I can give this perfect opportunity to someone else.”

Tanasha observed Fei carefully, and she smiled and replied, “I’m afraid that is not possible. Haha, you are named No.1 Commander of a battle zone by Emperor Yassin His Majesty, and all seven top generals at the Military Headquarter agreed. No one can change that.” [Goddess of Intelligence] paused for a second and stared into Fei’s eyes. With a vague smile on her face, she continued, “I’m sure that this is something that Your Majesty is hoping for as well.”

“Oh?” Fei laughed, “Why would I want that?”

“Because you want to avenge.” A serious expression appeared on Tanasha’s face and she replied slowly.

“Avenge? For whom?” Fei was still playing dumb.

“That mysterious elder who is a fatherly figure to you.” A bit of sadness flashed in Tanasha’s ocean-like eyes as she said, “You know who I am talking about, right?”

Fei fell into a moment of silence.

After a while, the king looked up and asked earnestly, “So you know everything?”

“Eh, I know. I know everything between you and him.” Tanasha replied earnestly as well.

“How do you know?” Fei was a little curious.

Tanasha suddenly smiled, “Your Majesty, do you think you are the only talented genius who Mr. Martial Saint likes? You are too arrogant if you think that way.”

Fei was a little surprised by the answer, but he then smiled as well.

He knew what was going on.

No wonder Krasic was still thinking about the future of Zenit’s Royal Family and especially Tanasha at the last moment of his life, and no wonder Krasic only left peacefully after he got Fei’s promise. It looked like the Martial Saint of Zenit gave just as much attention and care to Tanasha if not more compared to Fei.

No wonder the name of [Zenit’s Goddess of Intelligence] was known around the empire before Fei could make a name for himself.

It was natural when Tanasha was talented herself and she got the support of the Martial Saint. On top of that, her identity and fate were closely tied to the fate of Zenit, and she was born in the spotlight.

Fei felt like it wasn’t strange for Krasic to tell Tanasha about the relationship they had.

“Since you know about all this, can you tell me the truth behind this Martial Saint Battle?” Fei stared at this princess who was intelligent and calm in almost all situations and asked slowly.

Tanasha sighed.

It seemed like she sighed a lot more today compared to before.

“Alexander.” Tanasha addressed Fei differently as she walked to the map and carefully caressed it. With a very quiet and murmur-like voice, she slowly said, “Let me tell you a story.”

“Many years ago, an unparalleled genius was born on this land illustrated by this map.

Like a glamourous meteor, he stole lights away from all other geniuses.

He changed the landscape of this land using his own strength.

Although he started from the bottom, he created an invincible empire in a short time. He led his troops all around the land and was never defeated in battle. Didn’t matter how powerful his enemies were, they all crumbled and collapsed in front of him.

He was as bright as the sun in the sky. As soon as he raised his arm, numerous warriors were willing to die for him. Wherever he pointed with his swords, his cavaliers would conquer it for him.

Finally, his power and strength was fear by some of the most influential figures on this continent.

However, his pride didn’t allow him to back off and give up after he knew about the dangers.

Therefore, a shameless and despicable trap was created by multiple forces and higher-up powers. When he was in his prime, he encountered a terrifying opponent and suffered a destructive loss.

That loss made his powerful and vital body suffer from an almost unbearable amount of injuries.

From that point on, he fell from his prime to an all-time low. Those people who felt threatened by him were no longer worried, and that was how he was able to survive.

He had to endure the shame and aim for long-term survival. He started to lick his wounds and reflect on what happened as he waited for the opportunity for his second rise.

However, the injuries he suffered from were beyond his estimation.

After dozens of years, he still hadn’t recovered.

Although he still had control of a huge empire, the severe injuries made him have a hard time against the torturous pain and passage of time. The cruel passage of time and old injuries made him weaker and weaker, and his name was almost forgotten in the river of history. The long-term low-profile and long-term endurance made a lot of people believe that this unparalleled genius was a dying dragon who couldn’t even spurt out a fire. They all believed that he was going to die soon and couldn’t keep up with what was happening.

At this time, those who were defeated by him, those who lost their honor, and those who were despicable bugs started to make moves.

Hatred made them go crazy, and they couldn’t allow this unparalleled genius to die in peace.

They wanted to return the shame that he brought to them.

They thought this was the best time for the counterattack.

They spent 10 years patiently to make sure that he was as weak as the rumor had stated. They were so scared of him that they didn’t dare to make any moves even though they were 99.99% sure that he was very weak.

They couldn’t wait any longer.

They were terrified of him, and they weren’t sure if this unparalleled genius was going to make miracles again. They decided to eliminate the source of their fear, and they created a huge trap to kill him mercilessly.

The operation began.

Although he was very weak, they still didn’t’ dare to face him directly. Therefore, these poor souls decided to cut off his supporters and followers just like how they would cut off the wings and claws of a dragon when they try to capture and kill it.

In the last 10 years, 23 big characters who followed and supported this unparalleled genius disappeared for various reasons under various circumstances.

Finally, they targeted the person who they believed to be the most threatful, the person who they believed to be the biggest helper of that man.”

......

Tanasha suddenly stopped here and looked at Fei quietly.

This intelligent princess ended the story here with pride yet anger. She said, “I’m sure you understand it now, right?”

This was the first time that Fei heard her speak with personal emotions mixed in.

Fei nodded.

However, he asked again as he looked at the Elder Princess with a strange expression, “I know that. But I want to know why Martial Saint Krasic died at the central sword peak? How is that connected with Emperor Yassin’s backstory?”

Tanasha almost immediately understood Fei’s intention. She replied in surprise, “You are blaming Emperor Yassin? You think it is his fault for not sending powerful warriors to support Martial Saint Krasic last night? If that was the case, Krasic might not die...... But didn’t you know?”

“Know what?” Fei was confused.

“Didn’t you know what happened last night? [God’s Favourite Child] Mr. Kaka returned to the Capital last night, and he sent different people to visit all the Moon-Class Elites in St. Petersburg. Even Emperor Yassin had to meet with Mr. Kaka personally despite the fact that he was still ill. The Martial Saint Battle started when these meetings took place, and the Martial Saint Battle ended right after these people from the Holy Church left.”

Fei frowned, “The Holy Church again?”
