Hail the King

Chapter 1252: Terrible News

The generals and soldiers of the former Arsenal Empire cried and sobbed.

Pires was a famous general of Arsenal for more than 100 years, and he had great influence in the empire. He was the idol of many people.

The Arsenal Empire was now in the history of the Azeroth Continent; the entire continent was controlled by the Human Emperor. The Arsenal Empire turned into the Arsenal Military District, but the Arsenalians’ admiration and respect toward Pires didn’t change.

In the past, [Lightning’s Edge] Pires, [Spear King] Henry, and [Warrior of Ice] Bergkamp created the terrifying trident of Arsenal. Wherever they went, they were undefeated and made a name for Arsenal. As a result, these three figures were looked up to by many people.

Unfortunately, everyone would die one day.

That booming explosion and the radiant light became the last proof of Pires’ existence in the world.

[Lightning’s Edge] Pires died in space to protect the land behind him.

Even though he died, he chose the most tragic way which was self-detonation, not letting the bugs get anything from his death.

On the vast battleground in space, not only the soldiers and masters of the former Arsenal Empire, but all human fighters and members of other races saluted at the scene that was projected above them by a divy crystal.

Then, a series of dragon roars resonated on the battleground in space.

Tens of thousands of dragons encircled the scene that was projected and roared in anger.

There was a god-level green dragon who self-detonated alongside Pires.

This dragon was an elder in the Dragon Clan who participated in the war more than 1,000 years ago. It was also the first dragon who took a human as its knight. It acknowledged Pires as its knight, and they volunteered to reinforce Fei, killing many bugs. Their deaths were going to be recorded in the history book for this era of the Azeroth Continent.

In the next moment, everyone started to move faster and worked harder, trying to complete the setup on the battleground without needing any motivating chants and phrases.

Everyone knew that if they could complete the setup on the battleground in space one second earlier, the heroes would bleed less in that star system.

…

It was Fei’s third time summoning the barbarian warriors today.

These godly warriors who weren’t afraid of death coordinated with figures such as Messi and Ronaldo. In the critical moments, they acted as meat shields so that others could retreat safely. With this strategy, casualties were kept at a minimum.

Soon, another day passed.

The bugs were already blocked here for a total of five days, but humans had paid a hefty price.

After [Lightning’s Edge] Pires, five more human gods such as [Giant God of Battle] Carol of Liverpool, [Tough Stone] Vidic of Manchester United, and [Rapid Sword of Wind] Ozil of Madrid all died in battle. In the most dangerous times, they also chose to self-detonate, bringing destruction to the bugs even when they died.

At this moment, Fei finally recovered his godly power and completely absorbed the massive amount of pure energy in his grand godly realm.

Now, Fei’s degree of fusion with the grand godly realm had reached 89 percent, meaning that Fei’s strength had skyrocketed to level 6 Supreme God Realm in only five days. He was able to continuously borrow power from his grand godly realm.

To some degree, the bugs who were great at absorbing their enemies’ energy and evolving finally met their nemesis. The energy that they left after they died gradually became Fei’s energy. Although Fei still didn’t know why he could see and absorb this type of primal pure energy, it was a great sign.

When Fei recovered his peak strength, Continental Martial Saint Maradona who had healed up returned to this star system.

People like Messi and Ronaldo were hanging on the last straw, and they finally got the chance to return to the battleground in space to rest.

Before leaving, they collected the broken armor and weapon fragments of their peers who had died in battle. These remaining items could be placed in the cenotaphs of these heroes, and the future generations could pay respect to these brave and honorable elders who sacrificed their lives.

Of course, this could only happen if the Azeroth Continent had a future.

Now back to his prime, Fei could unleash all his power and start the revenge. He showcased his terrifying abilities again, clearing all the bugs in this star system. A massive amount of pure energy flew into Fei’s body in the form of light dots. With the increase of his strength, Fei’s speed of absorbing this type of mysterious pure energy grew faster.

The battle became a little bit easier, but the situation was still grim.

At noon on the sixth day, Maradona had to return to the battleground in space to rest due to more heavy injuries.

Fei was also injured quite a bit.

The bugs finally unleashed their furious counterattack. By paying the hefty price of the lives of more than 20 peak godly-king-level bugs, they activated two supergiant wormholes and teleported over two supreme-god-level bugs.

It was fortunate that Fei’s strength already increased to level 6 Supreme God Realm. After summoning saint items such as the Scepter of Creation and the Throne of Creation, he was barely able to kill these two bugs that were equivalent to level 4 supreme gods.

During this battle, Continental Martial Saint Maradona who was only in charge of inspecting the area was hit by the residual energy waves and got severely injured.

“Damn it. I didn’t think that my old bones would be so fragile. Time sure is a killer…” Maradona sighed in sadness before he left.

Indeed, the power of the bugs was far beyond everyone’s estimates. This was their first real encounter with the bugs, but the latter showed a dominating advantage in less than ten days.

In the last 1,000 years, Maradona was a legendary figure on the continent, but he could only inspect the area during battles on this level and might die at any time. This was tough to witness.

If it weren’t for Fei who was an unparalleled and shocking genius, the Azeroth Continent wouldn’t be able to last a second before being destroyed.

Maradona’s return to the battleground in space meant that another round of tough battle began in this star system.

Another group of masters from the united troops came to this star system to assist Fei.

This time, except for human masters and dragon knights, there were also senior elf elders of the Elf Clan, dwarf king warriors of the Dwarf Clan, giant whale berserk gods of the Sea Tribe, and grand alchemists of the Gnome Clan.

The battle became long and drawn-out just like before.

Due to his injuries, Fei had to battle while healing himself by absorbing the pure energy in his grand godly realm. Those two supreme-god-level bugs brought Fei a shocking amount of pure energy. If Fei absorbed it, his strength would leap forward unimaginably.

At this moment, terrible news came from the battleground in space.
