Answer




Title



From Title "flag this blo*ody post"
The colors blue and red remind me of two flags
- the Flag of Liechtenstein. The crown within could be referenced by the title word "king"...
- The Signal flag for E (ECHO)



Upper half (blue)



There are some hidden words: Ace ice oar Oman over

They are written upside down from right to left
Searching for a pattern, I tried adding letters forming new words:
Adding R gives Race, Rice, Roar, Roman, Rover



Lower half (red) Rebus:


First red square



- ace of spades - short A
- Elephant
- 3/4 of a cent - cent

-> Remove ent from Elephant -> lpha

Alpha



Second red square



- The land on the map is Tibet
- The lower left image is the logo of Texas Instruments - TI
- Ammeter - An instrument to measure the current (in Ampere)
-> Remove TI from Tibet -> bet
-> add A to bet
beta




Fourth red Square



- A 1915 Ford Model T
- A balloon flying with a child... must be filled with Helium, Chemical Symbol is He
- A Taxi
- An image of the chinese president Xi Jinping
Remove Xi from Taxi -> Ta

T He Ta -> Theta



Fifth red Square (Solved by JS1)




$P = V \times I$ (Formula of Electric power) and $I = \frac{V}{R}$
$=> \frac{V^3}{R^2} = \frac{V^2}{R} \times \frac{V}{R} = P \times I = PI$
Pi



Now back to the third square: (Solved by Stiv)



We have
1. $\alpha$ (Alpha, 1. Letter of the Greek Alphabet)
2. $\beta$ (Beta, 2. Letter of the Greek Alphabet)

3. ?
4. $\theta$ (Theta, 8. Letter of the Greek Alphabet)
5. $\pi$ (Pi, 16. Letter of the Greek Alphabet)
Now, it looks like the position of the letter is doubled in each square so the third should be
$\delta$ (Delta, 4. Letter)



Conclusion (thx to M Oehm & Stiv)



E from Echo-flag
R from the hidden words

D from 3. red square Delta
ERD anagrams to RED, fitting the bloody Hint from the title
