Chapter 368: Pledge
“Huh……”
After he opened his mouth and exhaled, Fei started to feel that the wounds on his body were being recovered slowly.
Even though he had [Full Rejuvenation Potion] which was spectacular at treating injuries, he was too injured. Huntelaar’s sword went straight through his chest and pierced through one of his lungs, Costakarta’s blade almost went through his shoulder, and Amauri’s blade almost cut through his waist and caused Fei’s intestines to flow out. The last wound was the most severe, and Fei used his left hand to slowly push the greenish white intestines back into his body. The scene was so bloody that some timid people even had to close their eyes.
The recovery speed was really slow.
After all, the real world wasn’t like the digitized Diablo World, and the healing was a process and not just a click of a button. On top of that, the people who injured Fei were Moon-Class Elites, and their three distinct warrior energies were still running around on the wounds. As the [Full Rejuvenation Potion] slowly healed the bodily injuries, it was also trying to get rid of these warrior energies that were hard to deal with.
The insane pain forced Fei to lie on the ground. He sweated so much that it looked like he just got out of a river.
At this moment, the king looked really messy and almost looked defeated.
However, none of the audience felt that way.
Before this battle, these people never thought that the powerful and haughty Moon-Class Elites could fight this way with no elegance, and they never thought that techniques used in ordinary street fights could work on these Moon-Class Elites!
There was no surging warrior energy!
There was no flashy magic power!
There was no domination and no easy victory!
For some reason, everyone felt like this non-typical battle vented their burning rage the best.
When they saw the king of Chambord using his fists to defeat the three despicable conspirators who killed Martial Saint Krasic, even the ordinary soldiers and citizens felt like shouting and cheering. At that moment, they felt like something was spurting, something was exploding, and something was burning inside of them!
As footsteps sounded, the young man with sharp eyebrows and shiny eyes walked out and put one of his hands on Fei’s shoulder; he was the leading warrior among the 40 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain.
Green warrior energy flames instantly enveloped him and Fei.
His power was unleashed completely, and the terrifying force made the people around here back off for a few steps.
After five minutes, sweats started to appear on his head; this is the indication that a warrior had unleashed his warrior energy in full for a while.
Fei who was enveloped by this energy flame was undergoing some magnificent change. The three huge wounds on his chest, waist, and shoulder were recovering at an insane pace. Muscles were growing at a visible speed as if an invisible hand was stitching the wounds together, and the three kinds of warrior energies were wipe out after six minutes. Under the coordination of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] and the green warrior energy, the three wounds turned into three scars.
“Thanks!” Fei dusted off the dirt on him, stood up, and thanked this young man who was on the level of Eight-Star.
“Your Majesty, it should be us thanking you,” the young man said earnestly.
The other 39 warriors from Martial Saint Mountain all walked to him in excitement and all single-kneeled down in front of Fei with that young man. “You risked your own life to avenge for Master Krasic. We all swore in the name of Krasic that we will follow Your Majesty wholeheartedly! From now on, your wishes are our missions, your honor is equal to our lives, we will go wherever your sword points, and the land under your feet is the homeland that we shall protect! We swore that we shall follow Your Majesty until death, we swore that we shall protect Your Majesty until death, and we swore that we shall stay loyal to Your Majesty until death!” they stated in unison.
The loud pledges of the 40 warriors resonated in the sky with an indescribable sensation.
They were as loud as thunder and as striking as lighting.
Fei was a little surprised by it.
Fei wanted to avenge for Krasic for his own sake; ever since Krasic turned into dust on the central sword peak and covered the land of Zenit, Fei promised himself that he would let all the enemies bleed to death. However, he didn’t expect to gain the complete trust and loyalty of these 40 warriors as he pursued his own goals.
From looking at the eyes of these warriors, Fei knew that they were dead serious. If they were only following him because Krasic told them so before, they were now 100% loyal to him and believed in his character.
Tink!
As he reached out in the air, a crisp metal vibrating noise sounded as Combat Weapon Heavenly Sword flew into his hands voluntarily.
Under the stares of everyone, he walked by each of the warriors, placed the black blade on their shoulders one by one, and said the following phrase earnestly 40 times, “I, Alexander, accept your loyalty! May my power and honor always be with you!”
……
Far away.
The cold wind fluttered the white dress of Paris who came here sometimes ago after she heard the news. The dress uplifted a little, and it revealed a portion of her white legs that would make any man go crazy.
This girl was holding a rose with the stem full of sharp prickles, and it looked like her mind was somewhere else.
Beside her, [Red Beard] Granello who just got promoted to the Head Commander of Imperial Patrol said seriously, “Alexander is now like an eagle with a full set of wings. With this force from Martial Saint Mountain, he is able to get out of the constraints of the empire. It looks like both Your Highness and [Zenit’s God of War] His Highness couldn’t deal with him anymore. Is Zenit fortunate to have him or unfortunate to have him?”
“Why do people always want to control others?” A bright smiled appeared on Dominguez’s handsome face, “Isn’t it better to be friends?”
These three people soon disappeared quietly under the protection of soldiers from Imperial Patrol.
……
One of the people who was witnessing the whole thing was Costakarta’s daughter Lanji who looked like an ordinary citizen of Zenit at the moment.
After she saw how fast that young man destroyed the three Moon-Class Elites, this calm and collected girl fell into a state of despair.
Her feelings were right.
This king of an affiliated kingdom who looked like a boy from the next door was a devil! Under his rage, the three Moon-Class Elites were defenseless! No one expected him to trade injury-for-injury and use this self-destructive style, but it was effective. Although they were injured, the three Moon-Class Elites still had their experiences and a good amount of combat abilities. However, they were all taken by surprise.
“What should I do? What can I do?” Lanji was really anxious as she bit her lower lip with force subconsciously.
After seeing the painful expression on her father’s face and her father’s bending back that was never bent for the last 20 years, the girl felt like her heart was aching. Soon, her tears blurred her vision.
Although she wanted to run into the circle and help her father, her last bit of consciousness held her back.
She knew she couldn’t help her father at this moment; if she did that, she would be caught as well.
“How can I save my father from that devil?”
Now, Lanji knew that her father told her that he wanted to eat Honey Glazed Cod Fish in order to send her out of the building.
“Father must have sensed something; it is obvious that all three of them couldn’t escape together. However, father who always placed the empire and his missions in front of everything else changed and placed me in front of everything else this time. He didn’t notify Huntelaar and Amauri about the danger, and he pushed me out of the danger secretly. Since the three Moon-Class Elites are captured, Zenit would definitely pull back all the searches. That way, I would be able to safely return to Eindhoven……”
No one knew that on top of the three Moon-Class Elites, there was another survivor; everyone at Zenit thought that all other enemies died on Martian Saint Mountain.

……
Huntelaar, Amauri, and Costakarta were soon captured. The jailors took out the bloody tools and tied them down using iron chains that were as thick as a thumb. To prevent them from struggling and potentially escaping, the iron chains pierced through their shoulders and legs and locked them down for good.
Under the protection of her guards, Tanasha approached the center of the battleground on her magic carriage.
“Alexander…… this is a bit rude, but I have to say it. You can’t kill the three of them right now. It is better to hand them over to the Military Headquarter; they know a lot of information that could potentially result in victories for us.” Tanasha said slowly.
“Military Headquarter?” Fei smiled and looked fatigued.
