Hail the King

“Captain Laura, they......” The girl with the short, red hair tried to explain.

“Hehehe, girl, they are masters under the King of Chambord’s command. How can you stop them? Move away quickly, or these misters might punish you......” This beautiful mage slowly walked up and brought a gust of fragrance with her. She frowned a little and asked, “You three are?”

“Philip Inzagi, the first disciple of King Alexander. We are here to ask Captain Laura about the [Dragon Hunt Operation].” The handsome young warrior who was standing between the other two stared into the beautiful mage’s eyes as he said slowly with a calm temperament.

Just as expected, as soon as she heard the term [Dragon Hunt Operation], Laura’s pupils instantly contracted.

“Mr. Philip, what are you talking about? I don’t know anything about [Dragon Hunt Operation]. Eh, are there still dragons on this continent? Didn’t they go extinct a long time ago?” Laura quickly calmed down, and she replied with a bright smile on her face. As she did that, she played with her silver hair, and her eyes glared.

Inzagi frowned. “Captain Laura, I know that you are quite good at lightning-elemental magic spells, and your technique, [Nebula Chain Lightning], is rumored to be invincible under Seven-Star. However, I would advise you not to trust your strength too much and try to buy time for the reinforcement of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], unless...... you want the entire [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] to die alongside you right now!”

The smile on Laura’s beautiful face froze for a second, and her slender and smooth fingers that were playing with her hair also stopped moving.

The two young female mercenaries who acted vicious a moment ago all understood what was happening even though they seemed a bit slow in the head. The short red-haired girl and the black-ponytailed girl looked at each other and slowly moved toward the backyard, trying to notify others and let them get ready.

However, two figures suddenly appeared behind them.

“Little girl, you aren’t obedient.” The thin and tall young man smiled again and showed his white teeth that would make people jealous, and he introduced himself friendly, “Nice to meet you. My name is Ed Kawani, and you can just call me Kawani. I’m one of the [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord’s command, [Smiling Spike].”

The other young man who was also thin and tall but looked serious spat out a few words as well, “[Silent Spike], David Tray.”

The two girls looked at each other with cautiousness in their eyes. They snorted lightly and didn’t say anything.

Tink! Tink!

With serious and cold expressions, they pulled out the rapiers by their waists and pointed them forward with silver warrior energy flames around them.

They weren’t weak; they were at least Two-Star Warriors.

However, since they were stunned by Kawani and Tray’s speeds, they didn’t dare to make a move first.

“I heard from a while ago that the King of Chambord is a genius warrior himself, and he has many talented subordinates. I didn’t believe it at first, but now I know that the rumor isn’t exaggerating at all. In fact, it even understated the power of Chambord a little.” The beautiful black-robed female mage who was silent for a while suddenly smiled, and she relaxed as well.

With a less serious tone, she said to the three young men, “Don’t tease the girls. If you want to know about the [Dragon Hunt Operation], I will go with you guys and explain everything.”

“Captain Laura, no, you can’t go! You......” The short red-haired girl got anxious and tried to stop Laura. action

“Let us fight with these bad people! If we hold them until the Group Leader gets here, they will be beaten!” the black-ponytailed girl shouted heroically.

Female Mage Laura lightly shook her head.\

She didn’t expect that the King of Chambord’s people would get here so quick, and they are daring enough to directly come at the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], the no.2 mercenary group in the region of 500,000 kilometers around Zenit.

“The Chambordians are faster and more upfront than I expected......” Laura thought.

Regarding resisting and fighting back...... She thought about that as well.

Unfortunately, when she played with her hair a few seconds ago and tried to activate a magic item that was made into a hairpin, this young man whose name was Philip Inzagi instantly discovered it and warned her.

This surprised Laura, and she thought, “This young man is too powerful! His god-tier weapon-like aura locked me down from the beginning, and he closely monitors any of my movements. As soon as I do something strange, his murderous spirit would instantly envelop me......”

It was too dangerous for a mage to have an agile assassin within three meters of him or her.

Laura underestimated her opponents this time.

Even though she was very experienced, she didn’t discover that these three young men with no warrior energy fluctuations on them were actually powerful masters.

“They are much more dangerous than I anticipated...... [Four Spikes] under the King of Chambord’s command? Spikes of assassins? They have insane stealth techniques, and they were able to hide their energy fluctuations and fool me......” Laura thought.

“I’m afraid that I can’t allow that, Captain Laura. Out of the 35 people in the yard, except for the three grooms who don’t know anything, all of you need to come with me. Don’t try to resist; this yard had been closely monitored, and none of you can defeat me unless your group leader is here,” Inzagi said mercilessly; he would never go easy because his opponent was a beautiful woman.

He was willing to take out and exterminate anyone who was trying to scheme against King Alexander.

......

The members of this team that belonged to the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] had no choice.

The few people who tried to resist and escape were all captured, and everyone got their warrior energies and magic energies locked down.

The beautiful Laura was more focused on. Locks that could suppress magic energies were placed on her wrists, ankles, and neck, and she was asked to get on a big carriage with her team members before it was sealed up.

Then, the carriage moved forward quickly for about 40 minutes.

When the door of the carriage reopened, the mercenaries of the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group] got off the carriage and were surprised to find themselves in somewhere dark.

The faint silver lights coming from the walls, the chilly air, and the dripping water sound all told them that they were in a magical underground tunnel.

“Let’s go!”

Inzagi led the way with no emotion showing on his face, and he walked toward the depth of this tunnel.

The dark surroundings, the gloomy sensations, the terrifying silence, the powerless feelings, and the possible horror that was about to come...... All of these made the mercenaries fell unease since they didn’t know what was about to happen.

The short red-haired girl and the black-ponytailed girl pressed their bodies against Laura as they shivered.

Soon, they saw lights at the end of the tunnel.

Then, terrifying screams resonated in the area, and it sounded like the cries of an injured beast. It seemed like a poor soul was being interrogated, and the bloody smell permeated the air.

They walked out of the tunnel and was in a big underground hall.

There was a dark-red magic light in the ceiling, turning this space bright red. It felt like there was blood everywhere, giving chills to the mercenaries.

There were all kinds of strange and blood-stained interrogation instruments placed around the hall in an organized manner, and the smell of blood was even more intense here.

When Laura’s eyes landed on the person who was being interrogated in the center of the hall, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she was slightly shocked.

Then, she calmed down as if she thought everything through.
