Hail the King Chapter 371: Chambord is Here!

On an endless desert.

A few vultures were devouring a rotten corpse.

The corpse was soon torn apart, and the blackish gooey blood slid down the sharp beaks. As the internal organs of the corpse were exposed, a disgusting smell dispersed in the air.

Suddenly, a vulture that was enjoying its feast looked up.

As if it heard something, a confused expression appeared on its face.

Whoosh!

An arrow flew in the air and passed by like lightning.

The sharp arrow pierced through this vulture’s head mercilessly, and its body was nailed to the ground. However, this vulture didn’t die right away. It screamed in pain, and its peers were all scared away and flew into the sky as they screamed loudly.

They all sensed the approaching danger.

However –

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

As bowstring vibration noises and air-piercing noises sounded, several arrows flew out behind the hills. These arrows drew several silver lines in the air, and they shot down the vultures that were trying to get away.

Then, clip-clopping noises sounded.

Two fully armored cavaliers dashed out behind the hills; they were wearing black armors and black devil masks, and they each had a bow in their hand.

Their mounts were more than three meters tall, and these two mounts looked like horses that had a cloud of flame on each of their hooves – they were level 4 Roaring Flame Beasts.

Although these two mounts were big, the two men on them were bulky and muscular as well so it didn’t look weird. Actually, the combination looked ferocious judging from afar.

One of the cavaliers had long blonde hair. When he took off the devil mask, it revealed a sharp square face with thick eyebrows that looked just and brave.

He jumped off of his mount causally, and it seemed like he was used to seeing this kind of corpses and smelling this kind of stinky odor. After he observed the scene for a while, he pulled out his sword, dug out a pit, and buried the corpse in it.

His actions were very smooth, and it felt like he buried a lot of corpses this way.

“John, I checked everything. He is wearing Zenit style clothes, and he should be about 50 years old. He got killed by an arrow, and the arrow is still on him. I can tell that the arrow is the Blood-Feather Arrow that the cavaliers of Jax like to use.”

The man jumped back onto his mount and said to his comrade angrily.

“Sh*t! These bastards of Jax! They don’t even show mercy to the civilians of Zenit! For the last while, we had seen more than 100 corpses like this!” the cavalier named John cursed angrily after he heard his comrade’s judgment; he was thin, white, and had no beard.

“We are already close to the border. The most important city in this region, Dual Flags City, is less than 50 kilometers away. The situation must be bad as the soldiers of Jax dare to get into the territory of Zenit and murder our civilians! We must report this back to Mr. Shevchenko and Mr. Cech! I suspect that the scouts and the cavaliers of Jax already bypassed the defense of Dual-Flags City and gained control of the area! We must be careful!”

“Huh! When King Alexander His Majesty gets here, we will beat the sh*t out of these bastards!” John Terry said, “Let’s go and report back to the Team Commander first!”

“Wait, I hear something……” the blonde-haired cavalier signaled his comrade and listened carefully.

“Don’t have to listen…… it is the bastards of Jax…… they are here……” John Terry put on his devil musk and pointed at more than 20 fully armored cavaliers of Jax on the side of the hill.

These cavaliers of Jax didn’t show any flags.

However, their brown robes and armors revealed their identities.

Most of Jax’s territory were deserts, and the mounts of their cavaliers were a type of level 2 Demon Beast called Sand Tiger; they were known as [Boats in the Desert]. These Demon Beasts looked like warhorses, but they were bigger with fatter hooves that allowed them to travel fast on the sand. On top of that, they were physically strong and mastered some low-level sand magic spells such as Sand Spikes and Sand Traps.

“One…… two…… six…… 10…… huh, there are a total of 22 enemies. John, what do you say?” the blonde-haired cavalier licked his lips and held onto his bow tightly; he was excited.

“They discovered us? They are trying to surround us?” under the two VS 22 disadvantage situation, John Terry was very excited. After he made a hand gesture at the blond-haired cavalier named Ruiz Smith, he lightly kicked the belly of the Roaring Flame Beast and dashed at the 22 cavaliers of Jax as he and his mount achieved perfect coordination.

“Go! Teach these bastards a lesson!” lights flashed in the eyes of John Terry and Ruiz Smith.

They were excited because they knew what this represented.

This was the first real war that the Saint Seiyas of Chambord ever engaged in. After thinking about the domination that their king showed in the past, these two cavaliers weren’t going to retreat; they wanted to use their actions to tell their enemies that Chambord is here!

Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Ruiz Smith and John Terry both pulled the bowstrings and shot out at the same time.

As bowstring vibration noises sounded, arrows were shot out like raindrops in a storm. The white fletching of the arrows drew several white lines in the air as they dashed at the enemies. The range of these arrows was farther than most arrows, and that caught the cavaliers of Jax by surprise. Several whines sounded as six cavaliers of Jax were shot and turned into corpses.

“Sh*t! Charge! There are only two of them!”

“Damn it! Kill them! Skin these two dirty Zenit cavaliers alive!”

“I will chop them into meat paste!”

The death of their comrades didn’t scare off these enemies. Rather, they got more vicious.

As they lowered their centers of gravity and lied against the Sand Tigers to avoid getting shot, they increased their charging speed. The well-trained Sand Tigers let out roars and dashed forward rapidly; more than a dozen dusty trails appeared, and it looked terrifying.

The distance between them was closing.

Arrows would lose their effectiveness within 20 meters.

Cruel smiles appeared on the faces of the cavaliers of Jax.

The arrows of their enemies killed six of their comrades, but they were still at a numbers advantage.

“Although their archery skills are good, our blade will easily break through their weak armors and muscles……. We will drown them in their own blood!” they thought.

In the last few days, they went through the region and killed all the citizens of Zenit, who didn’t get into the Dual-Flags City in time, just to entertain themselves.

The feeling of their blades cutting through limbs and organs, the cries and the screams of their victims……

These cavaliers had been indulged in this experience, and they couldn’t wait to kill these two people in front of them.

As they dashed forward, the cavaliers of Jax felt like their blood was boiling. They already saw what their preys were wearing, and the devil masks on their preys didn’t scare them……

However……

Woooooo!

A strange noise sounded as four dark shadows appeared in their peripherals. Like four small tornadoes, these four shadows flew at them two meters above the ground.

The blood of the four cavaliers of Jax who were charging at the front turned cold.

“Ah……”

“Throwing axes……”

The screams only sounded for a second before they were put to a stop as if someone pinched the throat of these cavaliers.

Then, four crackling noises sounded.

Blood and broke limbs flew into the air. These four cavaliers and their mounts were hit by the throwing axes that were the size of shields; even though two of them reacted fast and defended with their swords, it was useless. With brute force, the four throwing axes chopped the four cavaliers and the four Sand Tigers into 16 pieces.

Such power!

Terrifying cavaliers of Zenit!

The cavaliers of Jax no longer felt like they were in control. The threat of death approached them as 10 of their peers were killed before they got close to their enemies. This drastic change made the 12 of them feel very uncomfortable.

However, it was too late for them to feel this way.

What happened next broke the last 12 cavaliers of Jax.

The two scouts of Zenit laughed like madmen as they held a short ax in each of their hands. Although these short axes looked normal, they were so sharp that they were able to easily cut through metal. Even though the cavaliers of Jax were using the top-tier blades that were forged over 100 times, their weapons and their bodies were cut through easily.

Such nice axes!

Such nice techniques!

The short axes that were more than 1,000 pounds each looked like straws in the hands of these two cavaliers of Zenit as there were even afterimages in the air.

After lights flashed and blood spilled, only four cavaliers of Jax were left.

This…… wasn’t even a close battle.
