Chapter 168: Waiting for the Great New King
Accompanying this eyebrow-raising scream, they saw a skinny teenager who was crazily struggling in the distance. His shoulders were brutally pierced by several Black Stone soldiers using a giant iron hook. The young teenager was being driven mad by the pain, and his scream pierced everyone's heart. However, the howling, begging, and crying didn't play even have a little effect, but instead were perceived as entertainment in the eyes of those soldiers.
The poor lad was dragged for over 20 meters, leaving behind a long bloody trail.
After being dragged to the small stone square, the young lad was quickly tied ruthlessly to a stone pillar by the grim-looking soldiers with barbed iron chains. The iron hooks deeply dug into the young man's muscles, and immediately after, an officer resembling person began whipping this teen. At this moment, this poor young lad clearly didn't have much life left inside of him, losing his consciousness and just letting the whip torture his body. He only instinctively twitched once or twice, and even lost the strength to make any noise…
Fei frowned even harder.
Just at this moment-
"Pooh! This damn pitiful Chambord bone, I should've dragged him out to feed the dogs! He actually dares to be lazy, now just watch me skin him alive!" The little officer mercilessly whipped the young boy a few times, and then he angrily scolded as if he hasn't gotten enough enjoyment and the young boy's already about to die.
"Boss, is this little tramp also from Chambord city?" The other soldier asked.
"Well, half a year ago, the Blood-Edge mercenary group sent him here, and he was said to be from Chambord city… F*ck I was blind, I saw his skinny as* and pitied him so I kept him in the city to sweep the barracks, but who knew that this little bitch would dare to steal my things. All of those Chambord bastards are lowly and despicable. It was said that their idiot king is back to normal now, but in my opinion, that retard should've been send here to mine for us a long time ago…" The officer kept on cursing.
At this moment, in the distance, Fei was immediately enraged.
Chambord's?
This teenager was from Chambord city?!
Beside him, Pete- Cech, Frank Lampard and a few other elites all had good hearing, and they naturally heard the conversation of those few Black Stone soldiers. Immediately, a raging anger was ignited in their heart instantly, and they immediately realized that sh*t's about to go down. Ever since their Majesty the King was restored to normal, he was absolutely the embodiment of mercy, justice, courage, and matchless might, and there's just one thing about him… he's for sure famous for taking his people's side no matter who was in the wrong. In the past, at the victory celebration party for defeating the Black Armored Army, just for a few citizens, Fei dared to massacre the ten knights and the Imperial Knight command Chemac, in front of the Empire's prince. After seeing today's scene, without a doubt, His Majesty the King wouldn't care at all about his situation of being inside Black Stone's military fortress. There will for sure be someone that will bear the wrath of His Majesty, and pay the price.
Chew chew chew chew~
The bow strings successively sounded, and the four sharp arrows almost hit those soldiers at the same time. An arrow penetrated the arm of the officer of those four that was holding the whip, and nailed him to the stone pillar. The other three soldiers all took an arrow to the knee. With a few bloody flowers blooming, they involuntarily kneeled to the ground.
However, the person that acted was not Fei.
It was Fei's personal bodyguard, the blond man Fernando Torres.
This personal bodyguard of Fei's was very smart. He was also very hard working. After the [Hulk Potion] refined his body, he not only trained hard to reach two-star levels, he also followed the powerful mercenary Elena and learned god-like bow skills. Initially, he was promoted by Fei to be his personal bodyguard after he almost died committing a righteous act, so naturally, he was the type of person that didn't like seeing someone getting bullied. Speaking of the personality, he's probably liked to protect his people even more than Fei. But at this moment, Torres also had another thought. He understood that it is indeed a little not suitable for His Majesty the King's position to punishes those thug-like soldiers himself, so he decided to act before Fei had to. Also, Torres's shots were right to the point, the four arrows were controlled really well, only injuring those people but didn't instantly take their lives.
Fei nodded to Fernando Torres with satisfaction, then gestured to tell everyone to stay and remain vigilant. He hurried to the pillar with Lampard and the other six elite warriors.
Fei summoned the purple sword, and with a shake of the blade, Fei easily broke the barbed chains on that young boy's body. Not disgusted by the blood, he gently placed the little boy into his arms and then changed to [Paladin Mode]. A light gold aura began surging around Fei's body as he activated the [Prayer] skill. Then, a little golden ring was thrown out from Fei's palm and disappeared into the young boy's body.
At this time, Fei's [Paladin] had reached almost level 34, so his skill [Prayer] was already incredibly well practiced, allowing Fei to freely control the size of the ring.
In the Diablo world, this golden ring could heal 100 HP within 10 seconds. In the real world, the effect of this golden ring obviously wouldn't show a numerical effect, but the healing effect was obvious. After the golden ring disappeared into the young man's body, his body began exuding a faint layer of gold light, and the external injuries began healing rapidly. All the bloody scars began sealing on their own, and even the two wrist-sized holes on his shoulder areas slowly stopped bleeding and began healing.
The five senses seemed to have slowly returned to the thin body, and the young boy let out a painful screen. Then, as if he just had a nightmare, the young boy's body began trembling before he even opened his eyes, and he started saying some begging words…
"Ahhhhhh!! Where did these wild dogs come from? Are you guys tired to living? How dare you do this to your Master Robbie, me! You are really trying to die aren't you!!" That officer-like soldier also began acting tough. He pulled out the arrow from his wrist with a grim look and shouted, "Taylor, Eddie… What the f*ck are you bastards doing? Get the f*ck out there and kill those dogs that don't know who they are messing with!"
The 30 or 40 Black Stone soldiers suddenly began charging out from a nearby black stone fortress with sharp blades in their hand.
Fei didn't even blink his eyelids as another golden ring bloomed in his hand and disappeared into the young boy's body.
This time it was not really another paladin skill, but it was simply pouring in some sacred aura. The young boy's consciousness was clearly very blurry and in extreme fear at that time, and this holy aura could dispel the fear and evil, and calm the soul.
Sure enough, the skinny young boy stopped shivering after the golden ring disappeared into the young boy's body.
"Ah… This is… Not good… Leave! You guys leave! Don't worry about me!"
The teenager opened his eyes. His eyes were very clear, reminding Fei of clear spring water. He saw the arrow injuries on those Black Stone soldiers and instantly knew what happened. What surprised Fei and the 6 elite warriors were, the young boy's first reaction wasn't to ask for help or seek protection. Although his stick-like body began shivering again due to fear, but his first thought was not about himself, but to anxiously urge Fei and the others to hastily depart, "Kind hearted people, hurry and leave this place, don't worry about me, but these demons will kill you…"
"Leave? Hahaha, too late! You 7 scums, your Robbie daddy me will stomp over your bodies and make you beg for mercy!" The officer that received reinforcements appeared even more arrogant. More than 40 soldiers surrounded Fei and the others, "Hurry, kneel before Officer Robbie and beg for mercy. Then later I will slice one less meat off your body!"
Fei's eyes became sharp, like two ice cold swords against the little officer's neck. A dense murderous atmosphere began surging around Fei, and those Black Stone soldiers didn't even dare to put one step forward.
Fei gently patted the teenager on the shoulder, squatted, and asked calmly, "Little fellow, don't be afraid. Tell me, what's your name?"
"Luca… My name is Lukamod Richie, son of Caruso!"
The young body seemed to have understood something at this moment. After carefully observing Fei and the 6 muscular guys beside him and noticing all his injuries quickly going away, he sensed that these people gave him a powerful yet caring feeling. He carefully got closer to Fei and whispered.
"Okay, Luca, tell me, why did they beat you up?" Fei asked patiently.
"Uncle Zola's leg was broken… he was too injured to go to the mine and work… no one cared about him… and he was thrown into the dead men's pit and was about to starve to death… I… I secretly took a small piece of black bread to give to him, but I was busted by captain Robbie…" The little guy told Fei everything, his body couldn't help but shiver again, and he was a little incoherent.
"Just for a piece of black bread?" Fei was stunned.
"Also because I'm from Chambord City…" The little guy lowered his head, and his fist tightened. Fei clearly saw that at an instant, a glimmer of hope and pride flashed past the corner of this little guy's eyes, "The Black Stone kingdom's soldiers hate and fear Chambord city, and Uncle Zola's from Chambord too. They heard that the new King of the Chambord city came up with a wise ruling system and even defeated the nine-kingdom coalition army. Uncle Zola was spreading the story of the new king to encourage everyone to have hope, and he said that sooner or later, His Majesty the king will surely lead an invincible army here to kill these damn demons and save us. That's why the soldiers broke Uncle Zola's legs and threw him into the dead men's pit…" After saying these words, the little guy's face began to be filled with anxiety, "I wonder when His Majesty the King would be like what Uncle Zola said, leading an undefeated army to come here and save all of us… There are already too many people that died, Uncle Tom, Aunty Carla, and little Roddy. They were all beaten to death by these demons…"
Finally, the little boy spoke of something that deeply scarred his heart. He summoned the courage and pointed at those Black Stone soldiers, and his tears already began spilling like a waterfall, sobbing.
