Hail the King,Chapter 651: Sudden Appearance - Read free novels online

“What…… What are those symbols?”

“The stars in the sky could combine into so many vivid images? Is that a cow? Or cattle? A demon beast that is human on the top half but horse on the lower half? Oh, is that a huge crab?”

“What is going on? Why did the sky suddenly darken? These stars…… Who can tell me what is going on? I have never seen anything like this before! What are these symbols?”

“The gods are showing their powers! This is a miracle!!”

“Waah, the great gods, are you finally going to bless your followers?”

“These constellations and patterns never appeared before…… This…… Such mysterious power; it is as vast as the universe. Ancient, prolonged, deep…… Could it really be the power of the gods?”

Both ordinary people and the mighty warriors were stunned by this since they had never seen this happen. It was the first time in their lives that they saw something this mystic.

Only the citizens of Chambord weren’t that anxious and nervous.

They experienced something similar when Lampard advanced into the Moon-Class Realm……

“Which master advanced successfully this time?” they thought.

All the citizens of Chambord were shivering in excitement, but they all ignored the outsiders who wanted to ask them about what was going on. They have already learned the idea of ‘national confidential information’ from their king, and they would never tell others about what was going on under normal circumstances.

Just as what they had anticipated, the phenomenon that appeared once before showcased itself again.

As if gods were issuing commands in secrecy, all the bright stars in the sky started to dim one after another. This scene was magnificent and unbelievable.

“Who could have the power to command the stars?” they thought.

In the end, only a few hundred stars were still shining brightly in the sky, forming several perfect constellation images.

These constellation images emitted tens of thousands of starlight beams down on the continent, and they all landed in the direction of the 12 Golden Saint Mountains. Then, streaks of golden energy flames shone from the mountains, shooting back at the stars, lighting up the darkness together with the colorful starlight.

This beautiful scene was too dreamy, and many people believed that only the gods could create it.

In just a dozen seconds, the stars in the sky formed six different constellation images, and all the light beams condensed into six as well, pouring down the sky and into the six sword-like mountains in the back of Chambord City like golden waterfalls.

Then, the sky brightened again, and everything returned to normal.

After a few seconds, the sky went back to its clear blue color, and the clouds reappeared.

The sunlight came back and shined on the land, bringing warmth to everyone, and the spring breezes felt comfortable and not chilly at all. The beautiful spring showcased itself in front of everyone, making people feel like what happened was just their hallucinations.

The people at Chambord City started to murmur amongst themselves.

All the envoy groups from various empires and affiliated kingdom, as well as the mercenary groups, were confused, and they all wondered what just happened.

“What is the power that caused that mystic phenomenon?” they thought.

As warriors, they were very sensitive to energies fluctuations and powers, and they clearly could tell that when the darkness enveloped the land and the starlight shined down on the continent, a type of power that never appeared on the Azeroth Continent before showed itself. It was an ancient and mighty power that came to this land abruptly.

The origin of this phenomenon was the mountains at the back of Chambord City, but no one dared to enter that restricted and deadly area anymore.

In the last dozens of days, various forces had sent their masters into the back mountains to investigate while ignoring Chambord’s warning, and there were Moon-Class Elites among them.

However, the people who walk into the back mountains never came back out. After having several Moon-Class Elites disappearing in that area, no forces wanted to take the risk to see what was really behind Chambord anymore.

Even though people believed that it was the King of Chambord who killed those Moon-Class Elites, they couldn’t do much. After all, they were in Chambord’s territory, and the back mountains were the restricted area. It was them who broke the rules, so they couldn’t bring this matter up to the king.

Therefore, the mountains at the back of Chambord City became a dangerous place that could change people’s expressions when it was brought up in conversations.

What happened today instantly made all the forces to use their intelligence networks to get information about the phenomenon.

This sudden change made the people who were making plans in secret have an ominous feeling. Therefore, they wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Even though Chambord City seemed upbeat and celebratory at the moment, there was a huge storm brewing in the darkness.

……

-Inside a quiet courtyard at Chambord City-

There were four mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] standing each side of the gate, and they looked quite vicious. It was clear that they were on their guards.

Many people were in the courtyard.

The man with the cross scar on his cheek and the red bandana on his forehead was sitting in the middle of a big stone desk, and he was talking to the people around him.

Since they were mercenaries who traveled around and took jobs in wars between empires, they were filled with murderous spirit and viciousness.

Some of them had swell marks on their cheeks, and they were the people who were threatened by Owen this morning in the restaurant.

“What is that chick from the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] thinking? Why does she want to go to that place to meet? Otherwise, we wouldn’t have caught the attention of the people from Chambord City!” A mercenary growled, “However, that mage chick is hot! Her figure is perfect, and her skin is so smooth. Damn! If I can ride her once, I’m willing to die afterward!”

The other mercenaries all laughed recklessly after hearing that, and only that man with the cross scar on his face looked worried as he frowned.

This man’s eyes shone as he looked at four wooden beams that were glaring a little in the yard; he didn’t participate in the spicy and lewd discussion with other mercenaries. Ever since the meeting in the restaurant this morning, they listened to the command of their superiors, and they had been staying at this courtyard and didn’t leave.

However, for some reason, he still felt like people were monitoring them.

“We shouldn’t stay here anymore! I have an ominous feeling, and we must leave! Tell the brothers to hide and go into stealth the old way, and let’s make our move when the [Dragon Hunt Operation] initiates tomorrow……” the man with the cross scar on his face said nervously as he suddenly stood up and slapped the stone table.

The mercenaries who were engaged in the spicy topic were surprised, and someone asked, “Captain, everything seems normal up to this point. I think you are a bit too sensitive……”

“I hope it is just me being too sensitive,” the man with the cross scar frowned and said, “But……”

At this moment, he suddenly shut his mouth, and his pupil instantly contracted. As his expression changed, he grabbed onto his weapon and looked in the direction of the gate.

The other mercenaries who were sitting by the table were confused, and they looked in the direction of the gate as well.

Then, they were all shocked, and they jumped up and grabbed their weapons with hostility on their faces.

They weren’t sure when he had arrived, but a man was standing by the gate of the courtyard in silence.
