Hail the King

Chapter 913: Human Emperor of the North (Part One)

“Damn, underground tunnel again? Could it be that all the evil creatures of Hell are like mice? They love staying in underground tunnels and basements.”

Seeing the entrance of the tunnel, Fei felt like laughing. In Diablo World, the demons, monster, and bosses of Hell loved living in underground levels. Now, it seemed like these mysterious dark creatures on the Azeroth Continent also loved living underground.

“Let’s go inside and look.”

To prevent accidents from happening, Fei walked in the very front, and the two mad scientists and their apprentices walked behind.

After about 40 minutes, the group walked back out of the underground tunnel, and they all looked serious.

Their trip wasn’t useless, but they also didn’t get that much information.

This underground tunnel wasn’t that big, and it was divided into two levels. The first level was winding and curly, and it was about 1,000 meters long, enough for many people to hide in there. The second level was a big underground hall, which was about 600 square meters, and it seemed like it was newly dug since the walls were still moist and fresh.

If those scenes on the ground made the Castellan Estate appear like a living hell, then this underground hall was the real Hell. Fei discovered several thousands of broken corpses of Alanians. Some of them were dissected alive while being tied onto wooden poles; some of them had intact upper bodies yet only had white bones in their lower bodies; some of them looked intact yet their internal organs were removed; some of them were half demonized while others had their limbs taken off and combined with animals and mutated demon beasts.

The underground hall at the second level underground had a blood pool, and the blood inside was boiling, cooking many broken corpses.

No one knew what it was for.

It was chilly and terrifying. Such a blood pool could only be created after killing 3,000 to 4,000 people.

Beside the blood pool was a destroyed magic laboratory. It was quite large, and it was used to test and run trials on dark magic. The only thing was that a massive explosion occurred here, and no clue was left behind.

Except for that, there was also a summoning altar behind the blood pool that had exploded. It was similar to the ones that Fei discovered in the border forest, but it was more delicate. Unfortunately, it was too damaged by the explosion. Even though Cain and Akara observed and studied it several times, they couldn’t get any new information from it.

It was evident that terrifying and inhumane crimes occurred here. Those bull-like, mysterious monsters were the products of this demonic cave. It was clear that a terrifying monster-creation project happened here, and these thousands of corpses might be the source material in the creation of the six monsters.

Fei guessed that this might be the reason why he couldn’t detect any pure energy from the corpses of those monsters; it could be that those monsters were artificially created.

Of course, this was only a hypothesis, and it needed further validation.

Now, it was confirmed that a force was behind the Undead Creature Catastrophe that happened in the border forest, and the rough edge of the conspiracy gradually showed. Although Fei wasn’t exactly sure who was behind all this and what goal this person had, he knew that it was connected to the Anji Empire. Otherwise, the elite soldiers of Anji wouldn’t be guarding the Castellan Estate.

...

The Anjian soldiers in Marton City were quickly defeated.

The power of these Chambordians was displayed before the Alanians in the city again during this process. While they were trying to hunt down the enemies, these Alanians could only follow behind the Chambordian soldiers to receive spoils of war and arrest the captives. Seeing that any single warrior of Chambord in white armor could easily defeat a team of more than 100 soldiers of Anji, it was stunning for Alanians at first, but they soon became numb to it. Almost every single Alanian in the city went through the process.

When Fei and others walked out of the Castellan Estate, the situation in Marton City was controlled by the soldiers of Chambord and members of the Alanian resistance force. The Alanians who regained their freedom cheered and celebrated in a frenzy. Those little over 1,000 Anjian soldiers who surrendered weren’t able to escape the fate of death; the Alanian civilians who were filled with anger and hatred beat and tore these enemies into pieces.

While Anjians had control over Marton City, they didn’t treat Alanians as humans. They easily killed hundreds or thousands of Alanians for fun daily, and they robbed them and r*ped their women without caring. Therefore, they planted their own seed of destruction and terrible ending.

That night, Fei and others stayed in Marton City.

The order of the city was soon restored with the help of the Alanian resistance force. After experiencing the empire-destruction crisis, the Alanians showed an unprecedented level of unity. Soon, they voted on an interim government for the city and sent a representative to meet with Fei. They knew that the appearance of Chambordians was the only reason that Marton City was liberated, so they showed Fei an exceptional level of respect. Also, they still needed to rely on the King of Chambord. Without the protection of Chambordians, the reinforcements from Anji could arrive before tomorrow morning and turn Marton City into a flatland.

Fei wished that he could put all his time into killing monsters and leveling up in Diablo World, so he didn’t have free time to deal with all these errands. After opening the teleportation array, the administrative officials of Chambord who came along with the expeditionary troop appeared in the city and dealt with all these issues.

After passing Hell Mode with his Barbarian character and Paladin character, Fei was working hard on getting his Assassin character to level up as fast as he could. After one night’s hard work, Fei elevated his Assassin character to Nightmare Mode level 94, which was a small achievement.

When Fei exited Diablo World, he spent another hour on training his spirit energy, and he was covered in sweat. In the later stages of training spirit energy, it became extremely tough. Every time Fei did it, he felt like he was being cut by thousands if not tens of thousands of knives. Even though his willpower was already iron-like after battling so many demons and monsters in Diablo World, he still found practicing spirit energy excruciating and laborious.

However, as long as he could increase his strength, Fei was willing to make a lot of sacrifices.

As this continent got more and more chaotic, the sense of danger that was on Fei’s mind became heavier. Since he lost both of his parents at a young age on Earth, Fei lacked a sense of security. After coming to this world, he found people whom he loved and cared for, so he had to work harder to protect his wives, loved ones, and friends.

Emperor Yassin’s advancement into the legendary Demi-God Realm stimulated Fei, making him want to become stronger than ever.

After training, the horizon on the east had already turned a little white.

Fei turned into a bolt of lightning and dashed out of Marton City. Then, he used [Cleansing] as the mighty Paladin and purified the area between the border forest and Marton City, which were about 60 kilometers apart.

Fei’s Paladin character absorbed some energy, but it wasn’t as abundant as the energy that he got after purifying the border forest. The Paladin character’s strength only increased slightly.

This cleansing operation clearly stunned the Alanians inside Marton City.

Feeling that the evil power finally left the area, even an idiot knew what was going on. Then, under the passionate exaltations of the little over 100 people in the team of Alanian survivors led by Warrior Anna and Mercenary Edward, the image of Fei who achieved something unbelievable in one night became huge in the eyes of Alanians; he was none other than their lord and savior.

As Fei slowly flew above Marton City under the bright, golden sunlight, someone kneeled and worshipped, triggering a chain effect. In the next moment, all Alanians inside Marton City worshipped Fei as if they were worshipping a god.

“Although this man is only passing by, he is stunning and brilliant! He is like the emperor of humans who becomes the center of attention wherever he goes!” Charles Adam single-kneeled and said subconsciously while staring at Fei who disappeared into the campsite of Chambord.

He didn’t know that this comment of his was going to spread around the region quickly. Soon, ‘Human Emperor of the North’ replaced ‘Sky-Covering Fist’, becoming Fei’s new title.
