Hail the King Chapter 1053.2

Chapter 1053: It Is Him (Part Two)

Seeing this, Granello snorted and said, “I'm the No.1 Commander of Imperial Patrol, and I'm in charge of the defense of the southern gate. I'm also a level 2 n.o.ble of Zenit. Who are you? You are only a little officer; how dare you shout at me with someone behind you? You are technically offending a superior; you know what crime this is, right?”

“I… this…” The middle-aged officer was nervous, and he sweated while he stuttered; he didn't know what to say.

Seeing Granello being so dominating, the others in the area were shocked, and their faces changed expressions.

“General Granello, such an overbearing aura.” Fourth Prince Chrystal slowly stood up as cold glints flashed in his eyes. Under the light of the flames that were flickering on torches, he looked like a demon beast who was about to eat someone.

Granello wasn't afraid, and he took a step forward and sneered, “I'm not as overbearing as Your Highness. Right now, Barcelonans are right outside the defense wall. The situation is urgent, and everyone is ready for battle. No one takes off their armor when resting, and all soldiers are stationed around the defense wall. Fourth Prince, you just took over the defense of the western gate. Instead of being diligent and shouldering pressure for His Majesty, you are being all arrogant and forcefully summoned the other three commanders who are guarding the other three city gates to see you. Humph! No one is a prince on the battlefield. The four commanders of the four gates should be on the same level. Just the fact that you summoned the other commanders for no reason already violated the military law. If the Barcelonans attack now, the soldiers at other gates don't have commanders to direct them. If something goes wrong, can Your Highness bear the full responsibility?”

“You…” Fourth Prince Chrystal's expression changed, and he was so angry that he pointed at Granello and didn't know what to say for a while. A moment later, he squeezed out a few words between his teeth, “You… you are reckless. How dare you to be disrespectful to me? You… guards! Arrest this arrogant rebel who is disrespectful towards the Royal Family!”

Tink! Tink! Tink!

A series of metal-grinding noises sounded, and hundreds of elite soldiers swarmed out and surrounded Granello and others with weapons drawn.

“It seems like I overestimated you, a wastrel.” Granello wasn't afraid, and he shook his head in disappointment. “I really don't know why His Majesty allowed you to take over the defense of the western gate. If St. Petersburg is going to be conquered, it will start from here. By then, you will be the guiltiest person in Zenit.”

After saying that, Granello turned around and ignored the hundreds of elite soldiers.

However, bowstring-tightening noises sounded at this moment. Like the cold laughter of the Grim Reaper, the temperature in the area even dropped by several degrees.

Granello wasn't sure when, but the powerful magic crossbows that were stationed on the defense wall were moved over, and they were aiming at Granello and his men. The cold reflections on the heads of the arrows made others feel cold.

These strong magic crossbows were made by Chambord, and they were insanely lethal. When firing at such close range, even Moon-Cla.s.s Elites would be severely injured, let alone Granello who was only a Star-Level Warrior.

The situation suddenly took a drastic turn.

This was clearly a prearranged trap.

“What? Continue being arrogant! Do you think that you are with Dominguez, the Love Child, so you can disrespect me?” Fourth Prince Chrystal sneered and said with a joyous expression as he had everything in control, “Even if I issue the command and kill you right now, Dominguez can do nothing about it.”
