Chapter 26: Instant Kill, Yet Another Instant Kill
Chapter 26: Instant Kill, Yet Another Instant Kill
The King’s furious roar was like sharp arrows, each one piercing the hearts of many people.
Many old soldiers lowered their heads so others could not see their eyes, but their bodies trembled violently from intense emotion, betraying their feelings. Some young soldiers could not hold back their sobs, though it was unclear whether they wept from grievance or joy.
White-haired tough guy Pierce, Squadron Leader Brook, and even Shampoo City’s top expert Frank Lampard, who stood quietly in the distance, all felt their blood boiling from Sun Fei’s words. They felt something surging and burning wildly in their chests.
Military Judge Conca seemed as if he was scared stupid.
He knelt on the ground in a daze, even forgetting to slap himself. It was unclear whether he felt ashamed or was just thinking about how to deal with the King’s wrath.
“In Shampoo City, you are the military law? Then what am I, the King?”
Sun Fei roared again, lifting his foot to kick Conca, who was kneeling on the ground, flipping him over. Then he turned to ask Brook: “Captain Godde Brook, you tell me: as Military Judge, fleeing from battle, offending the King’s dignity before the fight, and usually trampling on Shampoo City’s military laws at will—with all these crimes, according to the King’s law, how should he be punished?”
“He should be executed for Treason!” Brook answered honestly.
Sun Fei looked coldly at Conca, who was struggling to get up from the ground, and asked sternly: “Did you hear that? Do you have anything to say?”
Only then did Military Judge Conca begin to panic.
Truly panic.
Even though his peak One-Star Warrior strength meant he was not afraid of Brook and these soldiers, the figure of Shampoo City’s top expert Frank Lampard standing in the distance was like a towering mountain, giving him unbearable pressure. It was clear that if Alexander was determined to kill him, Lampard could undoubtedly cut off his head in an instant.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, spare me! I won’t dare to do it again!”
Conca crawled over, clung to Sun Fei’s leg, and begged while crying bitterly. His previous arrogance was nowhere to be seen.
“You want me to spare you? Ask them, will they agree?” Sun Fei pointed at the soldiers on the city wall and asked.
No one answered.
But the soldiers’ angry looks toward Military Judge Conca said everything.
Conca never dreamed that there would be a day when he would have to beg for his life from those lowly soldiers he looked down upon the most. When he thought about all the things he had done over the past two years, he knew that these former serfs, now in power, would definitely not spare him.
Conca understood that King Alexander intended to make an example of him today.
He pinned his last hope on Herald Bazel.
Ever since gaining Bazel’s favor, Conca had done many despicable things to please this actual ruler of Shampoo City. He hoped that Bazel could turn the situation around like he had many times before and save him.
However, to Conca’s disappointment, the red-robed old ghost Bazel stood there without any reaction, not even glancing at him. His calm expression made it seem as if he did not know Conca at all.
When Conca looked up again, he found Alexander sneering coldly at him.
The surrounding soldiers’ eyes were like knives, as if they wished to skin him alive and eat his flesh.
Abandoned by all!
“Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with me?” Conca began to calm down.
Sun Fei did not even look at him. He raised his head and announced loudly to everyone on the city wall: “Military Judge Conca, deserted in battle, offended the King’s dignity, trampled on military laws at will. According to the kingdom’s law, he is guilty of Treason and sentenced to death!”
Having finally seized an opportunity, Sun Fei would not let it go. This Military Judge Conca was clearly a trusted follower of Herald Bazel and had thrown the entire army into chaos. Judging by the soldiers’ expressions, he was clearly unpopular. Towards such a person, one must show no mercy and eradicate the root of the problem. Not only could this remove a rival, but it could also establish military authority before the battle. So from the start, Sun Fei had made up his mind and would not give him any chance.
As soon as this order was issued, the soldiers on the city wall could not hold back their cheers.
However, right at that moment—
“You want me to die? Then you fool, don’t think you’ll live either!”
With a roar like a trapped beast struggling, Conca, who had been clinging to Sun Fei’s leg, suddenly attacked. Faint earthy yellow Combat Energy Flames flickered around him—a sign that he was about to advance to a Two-Star Warrior. When Conca first came to Shampoo City two years ago, he was already a peak One-Star Warrior. Unfortunately, two years of luxury and comfort had stalled his progress. Who would have thought that facing such a predicament today would bring signs of a breakthrough?
With lightning speed, Conca jumped up and clasped Sun Fei’s neck with his right hand.
This once extremely arrogant Military Judge official was now like a stray dog. Amid the crowd’s exclamations, he shouted like a madman: “All of you, get back! Damn it… stay away from me! If anyone comes closer, I’ll kill this fool of a King!”
Brook, Pierce, and the soldiers were shocked.
The crowd surged forward, surrounding him. Swords, spears, blades, hammers, forks, and even various broken farm tools were all pointed at Conca, the trapped beast still fighting.
“Let go of the King, you cowardly bastard!” Pierce brandished his twin hammers and roared.
Brook also looked very anxious. Although Alexander had shown the ability to instantly kill a One-Star Warrior earlier, the Combat Energy Flames flickering around Conca indicated he had advanced to Two-Star, and he had launched a surprise attack. Brook feared the King might be in danger and quickly said: “Conca, let go of His Majesty Alexander! I swear by the honor of a Warrior to the Lord God of War, I will allow you to leave Shampoo City alive. Keep your life and go back to being a mercenary!”
“A mercenary? Hahaha, you want me to be a mercenary living day to day?” Conca was now completely insane. He laughed wildly like a madman: “Do you think after rotting in Shampoo City for two years, I can still be a qualified mercenary? I don’t want to risk my life for a mere Gold Coin anymore… I need Gold Coins and two fast horses! Go prepare them now!”
While Conca’s attention was diverted, Shampoo City’s top expert Frank Lampard slowly moved forward. The Black Greatsword behind him quivered slightly. He calculated the distance, thinking about how to strike to save the King and deliver a fatal blow…
But—
Conca noticed this.
He immediately screamed frantically like a stimulated rat: “Don’t come any closer! Sir Lampard, don’t come closer! Please stand farther away… even farther. I know I’m no match for you, but at this distance, do you believe I can snap this fool King’s neck before you even make a move?”
Lampard had no choice but to step back slightly for now.
No one had expected things to develop to this point.
Brook and Pierce were full of anxiety, not knowing what to do. If possible, they would not hesitate to trade places with Sun Fei, but…
Among the crowd, only Herald Bazel remained expressionless.
The red-robed old ghost’s slightly narrowed eyes glinted with a cold light. Deep in his pupils, a hint of pleasant surprise quietly surged. He prayed silently in his heart: Fool, stop all this nonsense, just kill him, kill him now. Hehe, that would save me a lot of trouble…
“Hurry up and prepare the Gold Coins and horses! Now!”
Surrounded by the crowd, with weapons pointed at him gleaming coldly in the morning light, Military Judge Conca was extremely nervous. He urged them on like a neurotic, roaring wildly.
But—
“No need to prepare!” Sun Fei, who had been silent since his neck was seized, suddenly spoke.
“What did you say?” Conca was startled.
“I said there’s no need to prepare those things. Because for you, no amount of Gold Coins will be of any use to enjoy.” Sun Fei stared calmly at Conca, patiently explaining word by word.
That calm expression made it seem as if it was Conca whose neck was being seized, not himself.
Conca, in his extreme tension and irritability, became enraged: “Haha, no chance to enjoy? Little fool, tell me why?”
“Because, you—are—going—to—die.”
“What?”
Before Conca could react, his whole body suddenly jolted. An intense pain came from his abdomen. It felt as if his internal organs had been instantly shattered. The hand clutching Sun Fei’s neck had no time to exert force; all the strength in his body was drained. Then the world began to spin, and his whole body flew upward.
Such a sudden scene caused exclamations of shock all along the city wall.
What happened?
Many people were stunned.
Because from their perspective, the young King Alexander, who was being held hostage, suddenly made a move. He simply raised his hand and threw a punch, as if casually playing around, lightly hitting Conca’s abdomen…
The next second.
The constantly flickering Combat Energy Flames, representing the powerful strength of a Two-Star Warrior, were shattered and quickly disappeared. Conca’s whole body lifted off the ground and flew upward.
The crowd was still in shock.
Without saying a word, Sun Fei took a spear from a soldier beside him and threw it through the air.
Whoosh—!
A clear whistle sounded, and a cold light flashed.
The spear flew like a giant siege bolt, with a soul-piercing sound.
Conca, still in mid-air, did not even have time to scream before the spear accurately pierced his heart. The huge momentum carried his body flying backward until he was firmly nailed to the stone wall of the gate Watchtower. His hands and feet twitched a few times, his head tilted to the side, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. It was clear he was dead beyond doubt.
The crisis was resolved.
Another instant kill?!
An instant kill of a Two-Star Warrior.
Even though they had already seen many miracles performed by this young King, everyone, including Shampoo City’s top expert Frank Lampard, was once again stunned.
The difference in strength between a One-Star Warrior and a Two-Star Warrior was not just a numerical gap.
On the Azeroth Continent, the strength levels of Warriors were classified and confirmed according to the Stars in the sky, and could be divided into three grades: Sun, Moon, and Star.
