Hail the King

“What is going on? There is no safety drill scheduled for today.” Brook was surprised.

Since the construction of the [City of Heroes], people who came and went from this place had been tightly monitored, and the security was good. There had never been an incident where an unidentified person came into this place, but it happened today when the king was here for the tour.

Loud warning noises sounded non-stop, and the red warning lights on the walls flashed.

However, the people in the [City of Heroes] didn’t panic as much as Fei expected. The people who weren’t soldiers instantly backed off into the designated safety rooms, and they were smooth and coordinate; it was clear that they had practiced this many time. Then, as loud banging noises sounded, the gates of the safety rooms dropped down. There were a ton of magic runes on the gates, making them indestructible.

Next, the soldiers who protected the [City of Heroes] rushed out from everywhere.

A ton of small holes appeared on the walls, and arrows that were loaded onto [Dragon Slayer] crossbows came out of those holes. The sharp, white arrows heads looked chilling, and they almost filled the walls, making them look like the backs of hedgehogs.

As flames flashed, the stealth magic protection arrays were activated. Magic elements started to become chaotic in the underground cave, turning the paradise into a dangerous place where traps were everywhere.

Then, soldiers who were in magic armors dashed out of the teleportation arrays and controlled the key locations before searching for that unidentified person.

Fei nodded and smiled; he was pleased with what he saw.

No military base could be truly impeccable, so the king wasn’t mad that someone sneaked into the [City of Heroes]. He was pleased by the actions that took place after the unidentified person was discovered. A fast and systematic procedure after any breach was the key to keeping all information secure.

Multiple magic lights appeared on the wall, and they scanned the area and looked at all the corners and possible hiding places like searchlights.

These were called [True Sight], and they were recorded on [Demon King’s Wisdom]. They were powerful devices from the Mythical Era that could reveal stealth units and expose assassins as soon as the lights were shone on them.

“Your Majesty, it is dangerous here. Do you want to go somewhere else?” Several soldiers circled Fei, and their captain, who was on the rank of Saint Seiya, carefully asked Fei.

Currently, the soldiers of Chambord were placed in three ranks.

The top rank was Saint Seiya. Fei appointed a group of people when he first created this division. After some modification, there were now a total of 45 of people. The weakest one of them was a Two-Star Warrior, and the more powerful ones such as Drogba, Torres, and Cech were all Eight-Star and Nine-Star Warriors. Leo Saint Lampard was the most powerful, and he already advanced into the Moon-Class Realm.

The second rank was Bylaw Enforcement. Most of Chambord soldiers were bylaw enforcement officers, and there were about 500 of them, and most of them had taken diluted [Hulk Potion]. Even though they weren’t Star-level Warriors, some of them obtained a bit of warrior energy, and they were all physically strong and had great combat abilities.

The third rank was Militia. Almost all citizens of Chambord would receive some military training once they met the age requirement.

The captain in front of Fei right now was a mid-tier Two-Star Warrior, and he had ice-elemental warrior energy. He had six saint seiyas and 20 bylaw enforcement officers with him, tightly protecting the king.

“Don’t worry. I also want to see who was able to sneak into the [City of Heroes]. You don’t need to protect me; resume your search.” Fei smiled and shook his head.

He already spotted this unidentified person, but he didn’t tell the soldiers. He wanted to use this opportunity to see how good the saint seiyas and the bylaw enforcement officers have gotten.

Even though this captain heard Fei and started the search, he and his men were still carefully scattered around Fei.

To them, the safety of their king was more important than anything.

They knew that the king’s power was beyond their imagination, but they couldn’t just ditch their responsibilities.

The lights projected by the [True Sight] magic lights continued to scan the area, but Fei discovered that the person in stealth was quietly moving toward him.

This person was already a Moon-Class Elite, and he was much more powerful than the Chambord soldiers here. Besides, he also had on a cloak that helped him to stay stealth.

He easily passed by the soldiers and escaped from the scanning of the [True Sight].

One hundred meters...

Eighty meters...

Sixty meters...

This man easily dodged all detections and moved toward Fei fast.

When he moved passed the saint seiyas, no one sensed him as if he was a ghost.

Soon, this person was less than 30 meters away from Fei; it felt like everything was in this intruder’s control.

Suddenly, a saint seiya who was a Three-Star Warrior shouted, “Activate the gravity imprisonment array, rock swamp array, wind-binding array, vine-coiling array......”

At the same time, he turned around and struck toward an empty space beside him.

That was where the invisible intruder was at.

Dashes of yellow, green, and cyan magic energy flames appeared under that person’s feet and completely enveloped him. The chaotic magic elements instantly broke his stealth, and he was revealed.

He was a mid-aged man who looked fortyish, and he was wearing a black cloak.

Before the mocking and proud smile on his face could really shine, it froze and turned into shock; he couldn’t understand how he was discovered. He didn’t touch a single soldier, and the lights from the [True Sight] didn’t shine on him.

“How could a weak soldier discover me? How? What went wrong?”

He didn’t have time to think about these questions.

At that moment, he felt heavy as the gravity in the area increased by more than a dozen times. Even though he was a mid-tier New Moon Elite, his knees were forced to bend a little. He was only able to straighten his legs after unleashing his warrior energy. Then, the ground he was standing on turned soft, and his legs started to sink in. In the meantime, a lot of veins with sharp thorns on them grew from the swamp and coiled onto his legs.

Magic arrays were instantly activated.

Now, that saint seiya was already in his face, striking toward him.

“Damn it!” this mid-aged man growled and punched out, trying to defend himself.

Boom!!!!

Their hands collided, and it made this intruder sink into the swamp even more.

In an instant, more than half of his thighs were in the swamp.

On the other hand, that saint seiya roared as he flew back and spat out a mouthful of blood. The difference in their strengths was too significant. Even though this intruder didn’t have enough time to use all his strength, the Three-Star Warrior was hit by a Moon-Class Elite and got severely injured; his arm bones almost broke.

If others suffered from such a blow, they might have fainted already. However, this saint seiya was fierce; as he got send flying in the air, he shouted, “[Dragon Slayers], shoot!!!”

Now, Fei realized that this saint seiya tried to attack this intruder so that the latter would sink into the swamp even more. What this soldier did just bought time for the crossbows to shoot at the enemy.

Before this soldier made his move, he already knew that he was going to be severely injured. However, he still acted without hesitation; he was a true warrior.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Three crossbows moved and shot out three magic arrows as soon as that saint seiya shouted, and the arrows almost instantly got to the mid-aged man who quickly escaped from the magic arrays.

The power within the arrows surprised this mid-aged man, and he had to unleash his full strength to fight against them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This person was indeed strong. As the explosions happened, he pushed the three huge magic arrows, that were shot out of the [Dragon Slayers], off trajectory even though his hands bleed.

However, that impact force pushed him, who just got out of the swamp, back deep into it. Now, he was stuck in there waist down.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Five more crossbows fired, and the sharp air-piercing noises sounded like the vicious laughs of the Grim Reaper.

The magic defense system in the [City of Heroes] was powerful, and many components worked together well. Without giving this mid-aged man the chance to catch his breath, more than a dozen [Dragon Slayers] on the walls fire altogether.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of explosions appeared

The magic energy flame and the clouds of dust completely enveloped the area.

Fei vaguely saw the spilling of blood and heard a muffled grown, but he couldn’t be sure since a lot of things was going on. No one knew if this mid-aged man dodged all attacks or not.

“Capture him alive! We need to know who he is and how he got in here!” Brook shouted.

Highly cautious, the bylaw enforcement officers and saint seiyas slowly moved toward the center of the clouds of dust.
