Chapter 626: Look Up at the Sky! Look Up at Him!
As soon as the King of Chambord moved his arm, the soldiers and masters around Crown Prince Arshavin got nervous. They were protecting him, and they were afraid that the King of Chambord would lose his mind and kill the Crown Prince of Zenit right in front of them. If that happened, it would be a real tragedy.
Whoosh!
An orange-flame-like object directly fell from the sky, and it was about half a meter wide.
However, no powerful warrior energy or magic energy surge could be detected from this flame.
“Ahhhhhhhh…… Noooooo! Your Highness, please save me! Ahhhhhhh! Save me, Your Highness!!!!!!!!” A series of horrifying screams sounded from this dash of flame as it fell from the sky like a meteor.
As soon as he heard this voice, Arshavin’s expression changed. He was too familiar with this voice.
“Move away!” He pushed away the soldiers in front of him and made a big empty space.
In the next moment, this dash of flame landed on the ground, but it didn’t break apart. It was clear that the King of Chambord used insane granular control of his strength.
Slowly, the flames around this object disappeared, revealing a burned-up person. The skin of this person was turned completely back, and the skin would crack when this person moved, resulting in bloody wounds. However, it seemed like a cloud of energy protected his face, and it wasn’t burned.
At the moment, he was curled up like a cooked shrimp, and his face expressed the amount of pain he was in.
As this burned person slowly reached out his black stick-like right arm in front of Arshavin, he said in a weak and hoarse voice, “Crown Prince…… Your Majesty…… Save…… Save me!”
Then, his body stiffed, and he died on the spot.
This person was the Special Envoy Mathewson whom Arshavin sent to Dual-Flags City not too long ago to execute his series of plans, and the King of Chambord killed Mathewson right in front of Arshavin’s eyes as a protest.
“Alexander!!!!!!!!” Arshavin roared as he stared at Fei ferociously. He was the named [Zenit’s God of War] for a reason, and his presence and murderous spirit was pressing. Regular people who heard this roar and saw his dominating presence would tremble in fear and kneel.
However, that wasn’t the case for Fei. The only respond Fei had for him was a series of laughter.
“Hahahahaha! An eye for an eye! I’m just here to return a gift!” As Fei stood on [The Throne of Chaos], he looked down at Crown Prince Arshavin and said in a light tone as if he was a demon who was indifferent to killing, “You reached out your hand into Dual-Flags City and tried to cover people’s mouths and kill them, and you should have been prepared for this. What? You think I’m cruel and ruthless? If you knew what your henchmen have been doing at Dual-Flags City, I’m sure you won’t be this angry!”
Fei threw Mathewson down from the sky because he wanted the latter to experience a pain that was comparable to being skinned alive. Just like how he dealt with Guardian Trace of the Imperial Senate, he wanted to avenge for the 19 guards of Ribry and many other soldiers who were killed by these evil people.
Fei didn’t plan to let go of Mathewson from the beginning.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you accuse me? How are you qualified to point fingers at me? Humph! All the citizens of Zenit are under my command! As the crown prince, I could do anything I want! I was able to wipe out the Spartax Empire that had been around for hundreds of years, let alone a few rebellious soldiers in a remote city within the territory of the empire. How dare you accuse me of such a small issue? You are truly foolish!” Arshavin shook his head as he pushed Mathewson’s burned and stinky corpse away, and he sneered and pointed at Fei with a mocking expression.
The officials of the Imperial Military Headquarters and thousands of soldiers around Arshavin all sensed a chill. This was the first time that anyone saw the kind and wise crown prince behaving this way. He was ruthless, arrogant, and out of character, making the people who were close to him feel very strange.
Fei was looking down at Arshavin and got a little surprised.
As a strange expression appeared on his face, he was silent for a while.
Then, he shook his head and said, “Great! This is great. You finally spoke what has been on your mind, right? Looks like I overestimated you. This is your real side. Hahaha! You want to pretend to be a wise and kind lord; are you tired from acting all these years? I have torn off your fake mask so that you don’t need to be that tired all the time!” Fei’s voice resonated in the sky above the Capital, and it made Arshavin feel like puking up blood.
This was a feeling that Arshavin never experienced before. He was used to be in control all the time, but that figure who he hated was in the sky and too far away from him. The distance between them couldn’t be filled using soldiers and weapons……
This was the terrifying side of master warriors and master mages. Once they got to a certain power level, they couldn’t be tied down using military and influence.
The King of Chambord was growing too fast, and he was no longer in the world that Arshavin was in.
However, the Crown Prince didn’t regret anything; he didn’t regret pushing the King of Chambord to the opposite of him.
Ever since he accidentally saw that secret in the royal palace a year ago, Arshavin knew that he had to make a decision. If he didn’t want to give up chasing the throne, he would have to see the demonic man in the sky right now as his nemesis.
Even though he looked angry and vicious on the surface, Arshavin was not as anxious as he seemed.
The truth was that he was waiting; he was waiting for that person in the royal palace to decide.
It was a gamble. Even though Arshavin didn’t want to lose the bet, he had no control over the process.
He was scared that the result would disappoint him and even make him desperate.
It wasn’t just because of the power of the throne……
It was also because……
After he took a deep breath, he sensed a rare chilliness in his lungs.
Arshavin snorted and stopped speaking. The King of Chambord could drop his status as the king and mock him all he wanted, but to Arshavin, behaving out of character once was more than enough.
To a man in the military, that was a sign of weakness and powerlessness.
At this moment, the defensive powers in the Capital finally reacted. The orange energy sphere didn’t disappear, but more and more masters dashed toward the Imperial Military Headquarters. The masters from the Imperial Patrol, the Royal Guards, the [Iron Blood Legion], the Imperial Knight Palace, and the Imperial Senate…… Also, a ton of soldiers moved forward, surrounding the entire Imperial Military Headquarters and Crown Prince Arshavin like a black ocean.
Fei stood in mid-air and didn’t speak.
As he glanced around, he saw people like Second Prince Dominguez, Fourth Prince Chrystal, [Demonic Woman] Paris, [Red Beard] Granello, the leaders of the various noble families, the officials, the influential figures…… The important people of Zenit all appeared, and Fei recognized some of them.
At this moment, all the people in St. Petersburg were looking up at the sky, looking up at that young king on the silver-white throne.
In the meantime, that young king was looking down.
TL Note: For people who have more knowledge of the plot, please don’t put any spoilers in the comment sections. Let the people who don’t know the plot have more suspension.
P.S. Since a lot of Noodletown fans have been asking for more books, we decided to do a new free book called, Ace of the Dragon Division, on our own website. It’s one of the original mercenary/military-themed, and its plot is really interesting.
Give this teaser chapter a read to see if you are interested!
