Hail the King

Chapter 1016: The City of Behemoth, Ending of the Battle at Sea (Part Four)

Boom!

Pedro punched out and shattered the last battleship of Byzantine.

On the sea surface, shattered wooden pieces of ships were everywhere, and the corpses of soldiers on both sides puffed-up after being soaked in seawater for a long time. The blood stained the water, and vultures flew in the sky. As sea waves rumbled, man-eating fishes and sea beasts swam to the surface of the ocean and start devouring the corpses of the dead, having a grand feast.

The smell of blood and death permeated the air.

Terrifying shrill screams could still be vaguely heard from many places.

The soldiers who were severely injured didn’t die right away, and they struggled to stay afloat in the bloody water as they took the last glance of the world. They treasured their lives even more, and perhaps they vaguely saw their loved ones such as their parents, lovers, and children waiting for their return.

Soon, the cold seawater and the vicious sea creatures devoured them.

Perhaps many poor souls who sunk into the bottom of the deep sea were still remembered by their loved ones, but they couldn’t return.

At the same time, two giant Xuan’ge had retreated to the edge of the battle as smoke filled the sky.

“Fire! Use the godly magic cannons at the bows of the ships! Fire! Destroy him! We have to avenge Constantine His Majesty!”

[Black Pearl] and [Cyclops] each shot out a terrifying light beam that had a diameter of one meter, and they dashed toward Pedro. On the decks of the two Xuan’ge, sissy Sparrow and old fox Barbossa shouted like madmen with anger in their eyes as they swung their sabers; they looked like gamblers who lost everything.

On the sea, Pedro stood on the bow of the flagship and drew two half circles in front of his chest with his hands. Then, he pushed his hands forward, and two red fire pillars shot out.

Boom!

This man blocked the two light beams that the godly magic cannons shot out, and the terrifying energy waves dispersed into the area. Like the radiation of a nuclear bomb, giant waves were created on the sea surface.

Pedro frowned. He tried many times, but he couldn’t break the magic shields around those two giant flying barges. Also, the two Xuan’ge lingered around and caused huge casualties to the fleet of Barcelona.

Seeing less than ten battleships surviving the battle, Pedro was frustrated to his core.

Not long ago, he discovered that Emperor Yassin wasn’t in the area, and the fist spiritual spatial seals were set up by the King of Chambord half a year ago. The young king who he thought was the King of Chambord was only the King of Byzantine who wasn’t famous at all.

This series of discoveries enraged and shocked Pedro.

This man was angry since he tried to guard against Emperor Yassin’s sneak attack and didn’t help his fleet. As a result, the fleet suffered many casualties and almost got wiped out.

This man was shocked since the strength that Zenit showed was unimaginable! Only the small level 1 Byzantine Kingdom destroyed more than 1,000 battleships in the herald fleet of [Sea God’s Spear] of Barcelona and almost wiped out the herald fleet.

“Such a nation. Can we really conquer this empire in a flash as everyone at Barcelona had anticipated? Especially the King of Chambord’s strength…” Pedro thought to himself.

Before, Pedro and his peers heard about this little king who was called the Human Emperor of the North and was on the List of Young Lords. Before, they thought that this was a funny joke. But now, Pedro sensed the terrifying power of this man.

“The fist spiritual spatial seals that the King of Chambord set up half a year ago forced me to use a long time to break them down. Then, how powerful is the Chambord Kingdom?”

Behind Pedro, the generals of the navy were all shocked as well; they didn’t know what to say.

Everything that had happened today was unimaginable for Barcelonans; they couldn’t even come up with something like this in their nightmares.

“Take him down and tell the mages to heal him. I need to understand the real strength of Zenit from him.” Pedro exhaled and pointed at King Constantine of Byzantine who was lying on the deck. This king lost two legs and one arm, and he was unconscious at the moment.

Half an hour ago, it was Pedro who moved and captured this resilience young king.
