BXBX NOVEL Chapter 753 - Two Handsome Me
“Sir...” His guards and soldiers gasped instantly.
Currently, who dared to offend the King of Chambord? It was no different to seeking one’s own death.
In a hurry, several masters who were between Seven-Star and Eight-Star leaped into the air in shock and dashed forward on water, wanting to take this nobleman back.
“Don’t come here! Go back!” Buckingham waved his long sleeve, and an invisible power rushed out and forced these masters back onto the decks of the ships.
“Fools! The situation is dangerous! Why are you still acting soft? Command the fleet and retreat! Save the navy of the Empire!” Buckingham turned around and shouted, “Right now, only I can stop this vicious character for a short moment. If you don’t leave right now, and the fleet suffers unrecoverable damage, you will be the greatest criminals of the Empire!” King Buckingham sounded firm and heroic.
Those generals and masters of Leon who wanted to come back and fight with their head commander were stunned by King Buckingham’s honor, and they froze for a second. Troubled and divided expressions appeared on their faces, especially the ones who were the closest to Buckingham. In the end, their logic obtained the victory over their emotions.
“Sir, please take care!”
“Your Highness, please be careful!”
The soldiers of Leon held back their tears as they stared at that majestic figure in the air in admiration and saluted. Then, they shouted and ordered the operators of the battleships to retreat as fast as possible.
“What an irony...”
A bitter smile appeared on King Buckingham’s young and handsome face.
Last night, he had the advantage with his elite soldiers in the Capital of Byzantine, and he forced the King of Byzantine to ditch some of his loyal followers on the dock while escaping in a hurry. Besides, he ordered his men to kill those brave people of Byzantine who sacrificed their lives to buy time for their peers.
During that moment, Buckingham was in control of others’ fates and slaughtered them.
Who knew that after less than 12 hours, his position would be reversed.
“However, I won’t be like those low-lives of Byzantine! I can’t be killed that easily! King Alexander of Chambord, Let me, King Buckingham, give it a try! Let me see if you are really invincible just like those reports had said... It sure is thrilling to battle a powerful opponent! My blood is boiling!” Buckingham thought to himself as he turned around and wanted to have the advantage by attacking that black vessel first.
However, as soon as he turned around, he was stunned, and a terrified expression appeared on his face.
He saw a handsome young man within 20 meters behind him. This young man had long black hair, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes, and he was wearing a white robe.
Buckingham wasn’t sure when, but this young man appeared behind him with his arms crossed in front of his chest with a teasing smile on his face.
Without furthering thinking, Buckingham knew that this young man who had a unique aura around him was that legendary Imperial Martial Saint of Zenit, Alexander, who made the entire Leon Empire have a hard time to breathe in the last few days.
Only the bravest warrior shall win the battle on a narrow bridge!
Without saying anything, Buckingham dashed forward and attacked.
A vast amount of fire dashed out of Buckingham’s body, and it seemed like this region was inside an oven. It got scorching very soon!
Buckingham instantly unleashed all of his strength since he knew how terrifying his opponent was. At the same time, he used six fire-elemental, forbidden-level magic spell scrolls that he had. Each of these scrolls unleashed the power equivalent to the full-force attack of a peak Full Moon Elite.
Chapter 753: Two Handsome Men (Part Two)
Six lava giants that were more than 100 meters tall appeared out of nowhere, and the heat that was coming off them was enough to melt through iron. They surrounded the King of Chambord and started to attack without mercy.
The high heat instantly evaporated a lot of seawater, and the fog on the ocean which was dispersing due to the sunrise got thicker because of this. The thick fog reduced the visibility significantly, and the fleet of Leon was enveloped by it and hid in it.
Facing such terrifying attacks, Fei didn’t dodge or try to defend.
He just stood there in silence and allowed the attacks to get near him. However, right before the attacks were about to touch him, they disappeared like snowflakes on a hot summer day.
In fact, Fei admired this commander of Leon’s judgment. Before Husky shouted and roared on [King Alexander], Fei already appeared above the battlefield, and he witnessed all of Buckingham’s decisions.
Just looking at this from the pure perspective of a soldier and commander, this young man was a respectable opponent.
However, that didn’t mean Fei was going to hold back anything.
“You are no match for me.”
After saying this, the king only lightly waved his hand in this dangerous situation. However, nothing earth-changing occurred, and no shocking aura appeared. Fei’s movement was as light as a streak of faint smoke.
However, those six lava giants that were equivalent to six peak Full Moon Elites and could destroy cities with ease disappeared as if they never existed.
At the same time, that thick white fog on the surface of the ocean vanished as well, and the fleet of Leon that was trying to escape from the area under the cover of the fog appeared in everyone’s vision.
The battleships of Byzantine started their counterattack and chased after their enemies.
Also, the crossbows on [King of Chambord] shot out giant arrows that had magic energies glaring on them, and these arrows pierced the bodies of four battleships of Leon that were closest while leaving a series of colorful afterimages in the air. Then, the terrifying magic explosions left many giant holes on the surface of the ships, and the seawater gushed into them in an unstoppable manner.
The waves of the ocean quickly swallowed these four battleships, and the soldiers of Leon who were on these ships whined in desperation and jumped into the water.
At the same time, more than 30 warriors dashed out of [King Alexander], stepped on the surface of the ocean, and chased after the battleships of Leon that were getting away. They were so fast that they looked like arrows which were shot out by the crossbows.
King Buckingham who was already stunned by Fei’s strength was even more surprised at this scene.
He could tell that these warriors who were chasing after his men were at least Six-Star Warriors. Like angry tigers and fierce dragons, they dashed forward with murderous spirits all over them. In the regular military, these people could all be powerful masters who were in charge of big legions, and it was easy for them to win battles where it was one against hundreds. If they caught up with the battleships of Leon, four to five of them would be able to capture a battleship.
“The Chambordians are not famous for nothing!” King Buckingham thought to himself.
He wanted to stop this, but the King of Chambord who was in front of him didn’t give him that opportunity. His terrifying opponent’s simple stare made him feel like an invisible force imprisoned him, and he couldn’t even move.
He felt such a threat that all the hair on his body stood straight.
...
Chapter 753: Two Handsome Men (Part Three)
-On the sea-
The people of Chambord and Byzantine quickly joined forces.
While the Leonians were backing off, they weren’t in a messy and chaotic situation.
The military force of a level 6 empire couldn’t be overlooked, and they wouldn’t be bullied by others as well. They couldn’t fight against a Sun-Class Lord like Fei, but they were fierce and vicious against the ordinary opponents. All these battleships retreated in a V-shape formation quickly, and magic energy flames flashed on them. Powerful and heavy crossbows started to move, and long arrows shot out of them like raindrops in a storm, forcing their enemies who were already close to move back a little.
After launching the first wave of attack, [King Alexander] didn’t join in the battle afterward. There was a strange and awkward silence.
To the Leonians, as long as a powerful master like the King of Chambord didn’t join in the ordinary battle, they could still retain most of their forces even if they had to suffer some casualties.
However, today wasn’t their day.
Just when the commanders on the battleships were relieved, something unexpected happened.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two bright arrows that contained wild magic energy fluctuations almost dashed toward the battleships of Leon at the same time from the deck of [King Alexander].
These two arrows emitted strong lights as they traveled in the air, and they looked like meteors that could penetrate the world. They stole the spotlight in this battle and flew toward the biggest battleship of Leon that was leading the V-shaped formation at the front.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Under everyone’s surprised stare, that giant flagship which led this fleet was turned into small chunks by these two arrows! More than half of the body of the ship that was more than 100 meters long was destroyed. It seemed like the things that struck the body of the ship were cannonballs shot from the magic cannons!
This was terrifying!
People turned their heads around and looked at [King Alexander]. They weren’t sure when, but there were now two young archers standing on the deck. They both had shiny blond long hair, and they had handsome facial features and great physiques. In fact, these two handsome young men looked like twins.
The two handsome men stood there and looked like two golden suns, making it hard for others to stare at them. It seemed like the gods who created humans gave the best features to these two. Even the most arrogant men would feel inferior when facing these two people.
If more attention were given to them, one could tell that there were differences between them.
The person on the right had shorter blond hair, and he was a bit thinner. His face was pale, and his handsomeness felt remote, distant, and ethereal. In his hand, the bow looked like a tree branch that was freshly cut from a tree. It still had green leaves on it, and morning dew could see been as well. The feel of nature was intense around him.
The person on the right looked more serious, and his long blond hair fluttered in the wind and looked like a golden waterfall. He was wearing light armor, and his limbs were slender yet muscular. Although his muscles weren’t as bulky and defined, they were filled with power. A sense of healthiness came through his handsome appearance, and the longbow in his hand looked strange. It appeared to be made from two curved knives and seemed like an eagle that had its wings opened. Different from the other bow, this bow had a metallic texture to it.
These two people were both Moon-Class Elites.
Although some Moon-Class Elites were great at archery, destroying a huge battleship with arrows was something that only unique warriors who advanced to the Moon-Class using the understanding of archery could do.
In this battle on the sea, these two masters were lethal to the battleships.
Especially in this situation where there was no equivalent master on the side of Leon, the navy of Leon was like a piece of delicious meat that was exposed in front of a hungry lion. There was no way that this fleet of Leon could fight back, and they could only wait for their destruction.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
These two handsome archers continued to shoot out arrows, and it seemed like they were competing to see whose arrows were more destructive and who had better archery skills. With great tempo, the green and cyan lights dashed out of their bows and destroyed the ships of Leon as if the Grim Reaper were sending out invitations.
...
Chapter 753: Two Handsome Men (Part Four)
-In the sky-
Fei didn’t want to waste too much time on this head commander of the navy of Leon.
Buckingham was only at level 9 top-tier Half Moon, and he was far inferior to the legendary Prince Gomi of Leon who had been defeated by Fei a few days ago.
Besides, Fei had been working hard in Diablo World in the past four days and killing monsters. Now, he had completed all five quests in Act I, [Rogue Encampment], and his strength increased to Hell Mode level 15; that was equivalent to level 5 mid-tier Morning Sun. The difference between them was beyond words.
Fei could freeze all of Buckingham’s fire-elemental warrior energy with his mind.
Glancing below them, Fei saw that the navy of Leon was being defeated.
The broken pieces of the battleships were everywhere, and so were the corpses. The sinking ships created big swirls on the surface of the ocean, and the fallen sails, barrels, and other items were all sucked into them. The swirls looked like giant black mouths that were devouring everywhere on the surface of the sea.
The smell of blood even attracted many terrifying water beasts, and the soldiers who were in the water screamed and shouted as they were pulled into the depth of the ocean by tentacles and claws.
Although the temporary head commander was decisive and was determined to save the losing situation, and he ordered about 50 battleships to stop and form a defense-line to retain as many ships and soldiers as possible, those 50 ships that were left behind were almost all destroyed. The correct decisions and plans sometimes couldn’t yield the desired outcome.
King Buckingham was angry, and he shouted like a madman.
He knew that the situation was really dangerous. This military operation of cleaning up all the navy of Zenit was his idea, and it used a lot of Leon’s resources and manpower.
However, the navy of Leon that had traveled far to get here was about to be destroyed due to the appearance of the Chambordians, and King Buckingham was about to be the person who would need to take the blame for the failure and be guilty forever in the history of the Empire.
He was really anxious as red lights flashed in his eyes.
“AHHHHHH! I agree! I agree! Give me power! I need power!” Buckingham suddenly started to scream and shout.
As if he made a challenging decision, a decisive expression appeared on his face, and then it looked like he was in pain. Then, a ton of red light flashed in his eyes in that split second as if his eyes were made from blood!
At the same time, a ton of red mist jetted out of his body through his pores, and it looked terrifying and strange.
Suddenly, a streak of insanely powerful energy appeared in his body, creating many red energy waves that expanded outward quickly like flashes of lightning.
His muscles bulged under his armor, and his size increased drastically as if he underwent a transformation.
Peak Half Moon...
Level 1 low-tier Full Moon...
Level 4 mid-tier Full Moon...
Peak Full Moon...
Buckingham’s strength was increasing rapidly, and he quickly reached peak Full Moon and was progressing toward Sun-Class. This upward momentum was continuing, and it was hard to tell when it would stop and what level he would finally achieve.
Fei suddenly got very serious.
He was too familiar with this scene.
