As soon as Mathewson heard what Fei said, a desperate expression appeared on his face as he gritted his teeth and smacked his fist toward his head.
He tried to commit suicide!
In fact, he was terrified by what Fei did to Trace who was a Moon-Class Elite. That shocking scene made Mathewson lose the courage to live on. Rather than experiencing that horrifying torture, he wanted to kill himself and escape from the pain.
However, Feiâs voice sounded again, âHumph! Are you scared now? If I donât allow you to die, you couldnât die!â
As Fei sneered, he looked toward Mathewson and sent over his power as a Moon-Class Elite. Just like how a Moon-Class Elite could freeze and target someone with warrior energy and magic energy, Fei used his pure physical strength and locked down Mathewson.
Mathewson instantly shivered, and he was no longer able to move his body. His hand froze five centimeters away from his forehead, and he couldnât do anything to kill himself.
âYou...... Alexander, you are too cruel! You arenât a human! You are a demon!â Mathewson cussed viciously.
âI can only suppress demons like you guys if I turn into a demon myself. What? You think what Iâm doing now in inhumane? I believe that the 19 brave warriors of the empire asked you the same thing when they were tortured to death, and their screams and groans are still resonating in this palace. What? Donât you hear it? When you guys tortured and killed those 19 loyal warriors of the empire in the most gruesome way, why didnât you feel like you were inhumane?â Fei said as he looked at Mathewson with his sharp eyes.
When the latter couldnât refute anything, Fei continued and added, âIf you were a bit humane and killed them directly without torturing them, I might give you guys a smooth and painless ending. However...... you no longer qualify for a proper and painless death!â
Desperation filled Mathewsonâs eyes.
Fei no longer paid attention to him.
He glanced around and looked past everyone until he saw Ribry, and he said, âRibry, go back to the campsite with Arthur right now. Gain back control of Dual-Flags City before dawn arrives, and arrest everyone who is involved in the killing of our brothers. Then, interrogate them and trial them; everyone who is guilty must be held responsible. Before the new order from the Imperial Military Headquarters gets here, you are in control of everything!â
âAs you wish!â Ribry bowed and saluted at Fei. After he looked around and saw who else was in the palace, he hesitated a little and murmured, âSir, they.....â
âThe leaders are already punished, and the rest of them donât need to be penalized any further; I already destroy their warrior energies and energy channels, and they could only live like regular people from now on. Send them back to the [Whip of the Thunder Lord]...... As to the guilty nobles such as Mayor Soroyov, the native commanders and soldiers can discuss and deal with them!â
âYes, Your Majesty.â Ribry walked out of the palace with Arthur by his side. After he took a few steps forward, he suddenly realized something. He turned around and asked, âSir, then you......â
âIâm going to the Capital, and I need to meet our God of War His Highness,â Fei replied confidently. His expression didnât change, and it was clear that he planned to do this all along!
âAh? Go to St. Petersburg? This...... is this a good time? After all...... they......â Ribry was shocked by what Fei said.
âWhat happened today at Dual-Flags City is already insane! Mr. Alexander had turned this place up-side-down, and the nobles and influential figures at the Capital would be stunned. Who knows what kind of counterattack they would plan? Doesnât matter what it is, it is going to be powerful and deadly!â Ribry thought. He was planning to go back to the native military forceâs campsite, kill everyone who knew what happened here, and take on all the blame and guilt; he planned to be the scapegoat for Fei. That was why he was concerned and worried that Fei was going to the Capital right now.
The Capital was heavily guarded by masters, protected by elite soldiers and legions, and the magic towers and magic arrays in there were dense like trees in a forest; that protection was tight enough.
âOn top of that, Emperor Yassin resides there......â Ribry thought. âAlthough it is rumored that he is dying, his power couldnât be neglected...... If Mr. Alexander goes there now, he will be in a huge disadvantage......â
Fei already saw through Ribryâs mind. He laughed and said, âDonât worry; I know the limits. There shouldnât be any issues. Crown Prince His Highness is a little too pressing; if I donât slap back, hehe, our God of War will think that I am really scared of him. More stuff might happen in the future if I donât go, so I will solve this issue once for all.â
Ribry gaped; he vaguely guessed Feiâs thoughts, and he was even more shocked.
He knew that he couldnât dissuade the King of Chambord. Therefore, after some thinking, he added politely, âSir, you have been busy today already. Why donât you rest for the night in Dual-Flags City, and I could get a team of elite cavaliers from the native military force tomorrow and guard you to......â
âNo need; I will be back real soon.â
Before Fei finished speaking, a pair of silver sword energy wings that had a wingspan of 30 meters appeared on his back. Then, the king grasped onto Special Envoy Mathewson and dashed into the sky like a silver light.
Soon, the sharp air-piercing noises sounded, and they disappeared into the sky. However, they left a series of afterimages in the sky. As if the sky was severely wounded, a silver-white line stayed in the dark sky and wasnât willing to leave.
Ribry opened his mouth but didnât say anything.
After experiencing this incident, this great general who had been situated in the huge city in the northwest region of Zenit for more than a dozen years suddenly realized that he only saw the King of Chambordâs real side today.
âThis king enjoys the ultimate freedom, and he is like a godly dragon that soars in the high sky. Even though the Crown Prince His Highness is unreachable for a lot of people, compared to the King of Chambord, he is weaker, less strategic, and less heroic. The two of them arenât on the same level,â he thought, âPerhaps only Emperor Yassin could suppress this young king if he is back to his prime......â
After Ribry looked at the stars in the sky for a while, he took out that medal and gave it back to his guard, Arthur. Then, he patted his brave guardâs shoulder and didnât say anything else.
......
âYou are really heading toward the Capital? You are mad! You are seeking your own death! Hahaha! This is good! Crown Prince His Highness will tear you apart!â
Mathewson was being held by Fei by the neck like a chicken in the hand of a farmer, and he wasnât able to move at all. When he lowered his head, he saw mountains and forests passing him quickly. He could only hear loud wind-blowing noises, and the sparks created by the friction between the air and Feiâs energy sphere when they were traveling at high-speed almost blinded Mathewson.
Flying was the privilege of masters on and above the realm of Moon-Class.
If it werenât for Feiâs silver energy sphere that blocked all the natural forces outside, Mathewson who was only a mid-tier Five-Star Warrior would have been torn into pieces by the crazy blade-like wind in the high sky.
Gradually, Special Envoy Mathewson who already gave up on life realized that the king was really headed toward St. Petersburg. As he was shocked, he also got excited and cursed Fei viciously.
However, Fei completely ignored him and didnât even look at him.
After about 30 minutes, the land before them started to get bright. Like stars in the sky, lights were scattered around and shone brightly. The lights were all connected as if all the stars in the sky gathered, and it was magnificent and shocking. Half of the sky was lit up by the light, and the buildings looked majestic.
The Capital of Zenit, St. Petersburg, was here!
St. Petersburg at night was peaceful yet spectacular.
Even though he was close, Fei didnât slow down. Like a meteor that was falling from the sky, Fei fluttered his huge wings and dashed down toward the Capital fiercely.
Under the nightly sky, the kingâs eyes looked bright and murderous.
