Hail the King

Chapter 887: The King’s Return (Part One)

Fei smiled and didn’t respond to Little Luffy right away.

In reality, he already saw those two big things that were flying in the sky like two sharks swimming in the ocean; they were the Xuan’ge of the Ormond Empire that Fei captured during the previous war with the Ten-Empire United Troops.

After being modified by Mad Scientists’ Laboratory and Chambord’s Arsenal, their looks completely changed. Under the sunshine, they had a metallic texture to them.

These two Xuan’ge had undergone major changes to both their appearances and internal setup.

Mad Scientists’ Laboratory was able to smelt a light metal that was extremely rare from the Ironwood that could only be found in the Ormond Empire. With all the seven Xuan’ge that Chambord obtained, the Ironwood in them was stripped and only smelted enough material to build two new Xuan’ge.

This new material had a faint silver color, and it looked no different from metal. It was even lighter than Ironwood, but it was harder and more durable. Also, it had one unique and critical advantage that Ironwood didn’t have; this new material was flame-retardant and couldn’t be burned.

Like a bug in the game, the Mad Scientists’ Laboratory could decode and decrypt almost anything, and the secrets of the complex Xuan’ge were completely exposed to Chambord.

With the help of [Demon King’s Wisdom], which recorded many blueprints of the flying ships in the Mythical Era, Chambord rebuilt the Xuan’ge with many upgrades.

Therefore, the two Xuan’ge that were flying above the sky of Chambord were ‘high-tech’ products that utilized Chambord’s ‘intellectual properties’. Without exaggeration, one of Chambord’s Xuan’ge could take on ten of Ormond’s Xuan’ge; they couldn’t be compared on an individual basis.

“Let’s go! I will take you to check out these two beasts.”

Fei was suddenly in the mood. He grabbed Little Luffy’s hand and dashed toward the Xuan’ge that was flying like a dash of light. In a flash, they were close to a Xuan’ge, which was about 1,000 meters above the ground.

Just when Fei was about to land on the deck, strings of dense and ancient faint-golden runes flew out of the Xuan’ge as if something were activated. These runes were engulfed in golden mist, and they enveloped the entire Xuan’ge, forming a large oval energy sphere and blocking Fei outside.

With Fei’s strength that was close to peak Burning Sun Realm, he pressed onto the golden oval energy sphere casually, but he only dented it for about half a meter; he couldn’t break it right away.

“Damn it! Who is it? Who dares to attack my [Black Pearl]? You will get your d*ck cut off!”

A feminine shout roared through the sky like thunder, and it was followed up by a series of loud sirens. Then, flashing red magic warning lights appeared, changing the color of the sky.

On the deck, a tough man with a red bandana, a headful of dreads, smokey eyes, brown leather shoes, and a double-hand saber on his waist was commanding soldiers wildly, and the soldiers moved a semi-automatic magic cannon toward his direction.

“They are reacting pretty fast. It seems like their training paid off.”

Fei was satisfied with the performance of Sparrow and the soldiers on the Xuan’ge. Using the space-traveling ability of the [Throne of Chaos], he passed through the faint-golden energy sphere and appeared on the deck.

“What? They got in…” Captain Sparrow was quite surprised on the deck.

All of this happened in a flash, and this former ship slave leader didn’t expect that someone could get through the energy sphere created by semi-god-tier runes. He instantly knew that this person was a powerful figure, and he ordered the soldiers to quickly retreat. The soldiers on the Xuan’ge were all elites out of elites of Chambord, and they were the treasures of the kingdom; Sparrow didn’t dare to treat the soldiers like members of a suicide squad.

“Retreat!” Sparrow drew out his saber and wanted to stop this enemy for a few seconds to buy time. A situation like this was already planned for. As long as he could buy some time, all the contingency plans would be executed.

“Huh? Five-Star already? You sissy, you sure are growing fast.”

Fei caught Sparrow’s saber with two of his fingers, and he teased him with a smile. He was pleased with this man’s actions. All of this meant that this former wild ship slave was now loyal to Chambord.

“You dare to call me a sissy? F*ck…”

Sparrow hated others calling him a sissy, so he instantly jumped up like a dog that got its tail stepped on. However, he quickly saw who this ‘enemy’ was, and he shut his mouth and felt awkward as if a mouse saw a cat. He became docile and single-kneeled, paying his respect to the king.

“Jack greets my lord.”

The soldiers who were backing off all recognized this ‘enemy’, and they were elated. With joyous expressions, they kneeled and chanted with tears in their eyes.

They were the most loyal citizens of Chambord, and they almost worshipped the king. They could die for Fei without hesitation tens of thousands of times.

“Please get up. You are all doing good.” Fei smiled and waved his hand, and a gentle force helped them to get up.

Unstoppable cheers and chants sounded on the Xuan’ge.

Soon, the news spread to the other Xuan’ge, and the soldiers on that barge also cheered.

The two new Xuan’ge got new names; one of them was named [Black Pearl], and the other was named [Cyclops]. Sparrow and Barbossa who had been ship slaves for a long time were now the captains of the two barges. After living in Chambord City for a while, they accepted this little peaceful kingdom and felt like this was their home, finally seeing themselves as a part of Chambord.

These two became the captains due to Fei; the king really liked ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, and he appointed these two as the captains, going against many people’s recommendations. At that time, a lot of people didn’t understand why the wise and powerful king favored these two ship slaves who were wild and reckless. But after some time had passed, these two former ship slaves demonstrated their abilities and showed their talent at commanding the Xuan’ge, gaining others’ respect.

After energy flames flashed on the deck of [Black Pearl], Barbossa walked out of a small teleportation array. With respect and admiration, he walked over and single-kneeled in front of Fei.

This ‘Cyclops’ still had his wild aura, and he was wearing a big black round hat and carrying a thin sword. He had a greasy smell, and liquor stains could be seen on his beard. It was clear that he was drinking before rushing over.

Soon, the news of the king’s return spread in Chambord City.

With energy flames flashing on the deck, many high-level officials of Chambord appeared.

A large group of people kneeled on the ground and chanted, and their cheers resonated in the sky. Then, cheers also sounded from Chambord City below the Xuan’ge, and the entire city fell into an unstoppable elation. People rushed onto the street, and they danced and cheered crazily. The heated atmosphere made it look like a volcano that had been accumulating energy for many years, and the lava was overflowing throughout the world.
