HAIL THE KING !
Chapters 25. The soldier in the Whip
Fei stood up and placed the blanket on top of Angela. This foolish girl had brought a blanket to Fei, but she was wearing only a thin shirt.
Fei's heart was slightly injured at that moment. However, since Angela was sleeping soundly, Fei did not want to wake her up. She looked at Angela's beautiful face and could not stop smiling.
After covering Angela, she left the 'building' quietly. The defensive walls were completely silent. There were only a few soldiers patrolling. Looking across the Zuli River, the enemy base was also calm. Fei was relieved, but when he turned around, he was surprised –
Emma was on the wall. He stood on the outer wall of the watchtower as if he was guarding a shattered door. He fell asleep while standing up, probably from exhaustion. His golden hair was disheveled and his clothes were fluttering with the morning breeze.
He looks cute when he's sleeping. It was a completely different impression compared to his usually hostile attitude towards Fei. He looked very innocent as his thin body stood against the blowing cold wind.
Fei walked up to him and pinched his delicate cheek, “Hey, Son, get up ...... Why are you standing here? Too cold, sleep in the tower. ”
Who knew that Emma was still on the lookout? As soon as he sensed Fei's movements, he opened his eyes and punched Fei despite being sleepy. Fei did not expect it and was immediately hit.
"Bang-!"
'A black 'panda' eyes appeared on Fei's face.
"Ah? Alexander, it's you .... ”.
After she hit Fei, Emma finally realized her surroundings. She's a little embarrassed. He lowered his head, like a little girl caught stealing candy. But as soon as he peeked at Fei's black eyes, he couldn't stop laughing, “Hehe, I think the enemy is sneaking towards us….
Fei could not get angry at all after seeing Emma shivering in the cold wind. He patted her on the head and took off the robe attached to her armor and covered Emma's small body inside. He smiled, “Alright, now sleep inside. After sunrise, return to the palace with Angela. The wind here is too strong; this is not the place for you to be! ”
Emma stunned. He looked at Fei slowly. He quickly looked down as tears flowed in his eyes. Surprisingly, he did not argue with Fei and obediently walked inside the dilapidated tower.
"Alexander, you'll be nice to Angela, right?" When Emma was almost inside the 'building', she turned around and started at Fei and asked seriously.
"Aah?"
This surprised Fei. He doesn't know what to say.
Before Fei could reply, this little girl continued, “I don't care what you say. Now that you're acting normal, you should be nice to Angela! Alexander, you have no idea how much Angela has sacrificed for you over the past three years. I can guarantee that no one will be this good in the world except her.
After he said that, he rubbed his red eyes and swung his fists forcefully. He threatened, “Now you are normal, you have to protect Angela like how she protects you. You hear that? Otherwise, I will ...... I will ..... I will give you black eyes again! ”
After Emma finished 'threatening' Fei, she turned around and walked to the tower. Emma had been hostile towards Fei for the past two days. Fei was not stupid; he knew why he was angry – probably because the old Alexander had given Angela a hard time and caused her to suffer so much.
Although Emma was only a servant, Angela treated her like a little sister. Emma had witnessed all the grievances Angela had suffered over the past three years, so she did not like Alexander at all. His hostile attitude made perfect sense. Fei knew that a long time ago, so he did not argue with Emma. After all, he was looking after and caring for old Alexander with Angela. This little girl seemed tough and cruel, but she was kind and her heart was as gentle as velvet.
What Emma said touched Fei deeply; she was 100% right. After taking over Alexander and knowing what has happened in the past, he must protect the beautiful and kind girl. He has to protect Angela just like how he protected Alexander.
……
It was an hour away from dawn, the darkest time of the night. It's late autumn. The cold wind carried all the fog from the river to the defensive wall. Fei's mind was swayed by the wind. Although it had only been two days since he came to this world, he had already adapted.
"Is this really the God's decree for me to be in this world?"
Fei stood under the light of the moon and the stars. He suddenly recalled what Akara had said in the Diablo World. He first thought that it was something Akara was bullshit to fool him for his belongings, but after he calmed down, he felt like what the priest said was not that simple. It seems he meant something else.
"Your Majesty, I must apologize!" Pierce said while half-knelt. He said with regret, “I don't know what happened yesterday ....”.
Fei interrupted his sentence, then smiled as he lifted Pierce off the ground. There was no exaggerated intent, but Pierce was the one who shocked Fei the most in this world. Pierce's daring and risky attack yesterday on the defensive wall tells Fei that this man is trustworthy. Towards the trustworthy, Fei treated them with respect and generosity, just like Brook. In a dangerous situation like this, Fei had already begun to win over people subconsciously.
"Fully recovered?" Fei hit Pierce's chest. The subtle action of melting ice between them.
"Yes, I've recovered completely ..." said Pierce excitedly as he posed to show his muscles. He laughed, “Your Majesty, Commander Brook told me everything! Chambord finally had a king. Pierce swore allegiance to His Majesty! Until I die!"
Fei could tell that Pierce was fully recovered, as his face had color on it. It looks like 【Small Health Banquet】 has a stronger effect in the real world; only two drops save the life of a seriously injured man.
“Come and see, it seems like the enemy has no plans at the moment. Did they like that the last few days? ”Fei walk to the edge of the defensive wall. He pointed at the enemy base as he shifted the subject.
Brook saw with ama. His eyebrows are wrinkled, “It's weird. it never let us rest in peace over the past few nights. They pretend to besiege dozens of times every night and continue to besiege before dawn every day. They must be planning something. ”
"Fuck their tricks, if those son of a bitch dares to surround us again, I'll crush them into meat bun with my hammer!" Pierce stared at the enemy base and shouted.
Fei and Brook were defeated by the IQ of this formidable man. He's so tough that his brain is probably made up of pure muscle and not neurons or anything.
Fei knew that while Pierce was tough, he was also careless. He was a great warrior on the battlefield, but also a terrible strategist. If Fei wanted him to plan a strategy and look for logistics like a commander, he would more easily convince the teenagers to let go of their phones.
Brook on the other hand had surprised Fei with his cold demeanor, he was perfectly suited for the role of commander and general.
Fei had no idea that at that moment, he had decided on the direction of development for his first two accomplices. After hundreds of years, the stories of Pierce's [Main Killing Machine] and Brook's [Wisdom General] serving under Emperor Alexander would be read out continuously by traveling poets on the Azeroth Continent.
“No matter what tricks they hide behind their sleeves. In the end, they will all be revealed ... ”.
Fei decided to stop pondering the enemy conspiracy. He tapped his finger at a fortress rhythmically, “Pierce is right, it doesn't matter who it is. Anyone who wanted to take a piece of Chambord would lose a tooth in the process. ”
Pierce laughed proudly as the king agreed with his 'suggestion'.
……
After more than half an hour, dawn finally arrived; lights shone over the horizon. The enemy base across the river was no longer calm.
The loud trumpets had broken the silence of dawn. Looking from afar, the black-armored enemies were like ants; they moved inside the base and smoke from the cooking had risen into the sky. After breakfast, a new round of fighting will begin.
"Tell the soldiers to prepare themselves. Brook, today's battle will be commanded by you; everyone must follow your orders, including me! ”Although Fei's personal strength had greatly increased from Diablo World, he was still very stupid in terms of war and defense strategy. It was the best option to let Brook handle it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Brook did not refuse.
"Oh, right! Didn't I already summon the novice magician Gill to come and help the battle? Where is he? "Fei remember.
Brook doesn't know what's going on either. He turned around to find the answer. Soon, Brook brought back two warriors who had scars all over their faces. Brook said angrily, “The soldiers I sent were whipped by Minister Bazzer. He said Gill was sick and could not participate in the battle. ”
Fei looked at the two soldiers whipped in his face. Anger builds up inside him.
