Hail the King

Chapter 403: Loyalty to Zenit

“The Spartax Empire and the Eindhoven Empire are more anxious because their emperors are even more stupid than the emperor of Jax,” Fei replied as he suddenly got murderous after hearing Krasic’s name; he had to try not to attack this prince of Jax.

The nightly wind was fierce like blades, and the sands were all blown into the sky.

After thinking back to the purpose of this meeting, Fei put away the negative emotions in his mind. As he looked up at the moon in the sky, he took out a bottle of liquor, two cups, and some delicate snacks and put them on the rug.

He poured himself a cup of liquor.

After he took a sip and zapped his mouth, he continued the conversation.

“I have heard from the traveling poets on the way here that Emperor Fuji is a wise, ambitious, and far-sighted ruler. I was wondering why this emperor who had endured everything for the last 26 years would lose his patience now, but this explains it! His allies no longer want to wait! Damn, we shouldn’t be afraid of god-like enemies; instead, we should be scared of pig-like allies!”

“The latter portion of your sentence is quite true…… According to our plan, this war should start a year from now,” Fairenton didn’t sense Fei’s initial murderous spirit, and he didn’t hold himself back. After he poured himself a cup of liquor and chugged it, he praised, “This liquor is made for the Royal Family of Zenit? Damn! Only the rich land of Zenit could create such divine drinks. The Jax Empire is mostly desert, and it could only bury corpses and bones and bring death and disasters.”

“The jealousy of rich land has always been the origin of wars on this continent. I do understand the Jax Empire; everyone wants to live in a comfortable environment with rich resources,” Fei thought back to the quote of a famous dictator on Earth and sighed, “Therefore, even if Zenit didn’t conquer Jax 26 years ago, this war would still occur, right?”

Fairenton nodded and agreed. After that, he picked up a piece of dessert and ate it; he even licked the dessert flakes off of his lips.

The atmosphere was a little strange.

Fairenton wasn’t behaving like the prince of Jax who was currently Fei’s enemy, and Fei wasn’t acting like a head commander who was facing his enemy. It felt like they were two buddies who were discussing how to pick up girls.

If anyone else were seeing this, they would have thought that these two men were plotting an evil plan together.

Actually, Fei was planning to do that.

This king laughed and casually suggested, “You see, since Emperor Fuji also doesn’t want to start the war this early, Zenit is in a mess, and I don’t want to fight this war, how about we put a stop to this war for now and come back here in a year?”

“Your Majesty, you must be joking,” Fairenton replied as he looked at Fei in the eyes. However, he saw the sincerity and felt like the king wasn’t joking. After some thoughts, he shook his head and said, “That is impossible. Both you and I don’t have a say in how this war is going to proceed.”

“Why you got to ruin the moment?” Fei said as he curled his lips.

He took the liquor bottle out of Fairenton’s hand and poured himself a cup. The king was a great actor; he immediately put on a threatening expression and said, “I’m a lot more powerful than you! I can just beat you half-dead and capture you. Then, the soldiers of Jax would be afraid of attacking Dual-Flags City! If they dare to siege, I will cut off some flesh off of you and send it to them!”

Fairenton knew that he couldn’t defend against this man, but he wasn’t afraid either. With a helpless expression on his face, he replied, “You…… you have strange ideas, but this method won’t work.”

After he drunk more liquor, he continued, “You think this way because you never met Emperor Fuji yourself; you only got to know him through the stories. In reality, he is a cruel and wise emperor; he won’t give up on the plan that he prepared for the last 26 years for one of his sons. He won’t accept this kind of threats, and I’m only one of the 136 sons he has; he doesn’t care that much about me anyway.”

“You made some good points,” Fei poured himself more liquor and said, “Since I can’t capture you and threat Jax, how about I just kill you? Without you, all these soldiers of Jax will not be organized. Before your reinforcement comes, I can easily wipe out these soldiers.”

“Although I’m only one of the 136 children of Emperor Fuji, I am not that insignificant. Also, my master is someone who even my father Emperor Fuji doesn’t want to offend. Therefore, if you kill me, you would be in trouble like poking the nest of wasps. By then, not only Dual-Flags City but Chambord City will also be wiped out in revenge. Alexander, you are a sly character. I’m sure you already know about my status and who my master is. You won’t kill me; otherwise, you would have already done it during the daytime.”

“Yeah! You are like the ass of a dragon; no one dares to touch you!” Fei replied with an attitude.

After he looked at the moon that seemed a little murderous, he stared at this smiling prince of Jax and shouted, “You are right! I have done my research before coming to Dual-Flags City, and I know everything about you, including your powerful master and your powerful Senior and Junior Fellow Disciples. Too bad for me I guess! If I triggered Emperor Fuji and your master, Zenit could bear the consequences, but Chambord couldn’t.”

“Hahahaha! It looks like you aren’t as loyal to the Royal Family of Zenit after all! A lot of my generals thought you are very loyal to Zenit, and they are all wrong! Otherwise, you won’t let this opportunity get away! Even if your Chambord will be destroyed, you should still take the risk and destroy the 60,000 soldiers of Jax here if you put Zenit’s interest at first…… Hahaha! Although you are unlucky that you encountered me, I’m lucky enough to encounter you! If I encountered a mad lunatic who is 100% loyal to Zenit, I would have been killed already!”

Fairenton felt very good after he said that. He wasn’t as strong as Fei, and he lost in battle today as tens of thousands of people watched. However, he felt like all of the negative emotions he had as a result of what happened today all disappeared after he said what was on his mind.

“Ay, Your Highness, I have to remind you not to provoke me. I’m not good at controlling my emotions, and I might do something that is not logical when I get mad,” Fei was a little angry at Fairenton for stating all those facts, but he suddenly thought of something and laughed, “Haha! The food supplies of your 60,000 soldiers are all burned by me! If you don’t retreat, your warriors will all starve to death!”

An awkward expression appeared on Fairenton’s face, and that expression turned into anger quickly.

Food supplies were very precious to the people of Jax, and these food supplies the soldiers had were all accumulated from the hard work of their people. A grain of rice was more valuable than the piece of gold of the same size in the desert, so burning so much food was like stabbing this prince in his chest and twisting the blade.

“Ah! It is pretty late already; if we continue to chat, our generals and commanders might freak out. On top of that, we don’t have much in common,” Fei stood up and stretched his back. He put the rest of the liquor back into his storage space and suggested, “Don’t siege the city in the next few days. Otherwise, I might do more bad things to your campsite like poisoning your water source.”

Fairenton’s face changed color.

However, after he gave it some thought, he laughed, “Dual-Flags City and my troop share the same groundwater. If our water gets poisoned, then your people would be poisoned too! Haha!”

“Da fu*k!” Fei shouted something that Fairenton didn’t understand.

Fei felt exhausted and tired when he was in St. Petersburg, but he felt very relaxed and casual when talking to this enemy prince for some reason. He replied to the prince, “Don’t worry, I got the antidote.”
