Chapter 1817
Just when Ignatius got ready to speak, he pointed to a direction while narrowing his eyes and shouted in surprise, “Look! What isthat?”
The others looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a dark object in the sky heading straight down, and it crashed in themiddle of their troops.
The explosion was deafening, and everything quaked as dust rose. There was a gigantic wave of energy spreading outward fromthe point of explosion like tsunami waves.
The energy wave left a trail of destruction and painful moans wherever it passed. This attack killed and wounded at least a fewhundred soldiers.
“The fuck! What the hell was that?” Draven squinted his eyes. He couldn't see what attacked them due to the thick clouds ofdust.
“Could it be a meteorite?” Atticus sounded a little confused.“A shooting star? How could there be such a coincidence?” Mortimer refused to believe it.
“| can see it clearly now! It’s a person!” Ignatius had good vision and pointed at where the object fell. Then, he shouted, “He’scharging toward us!”
As soon as he said that, a dark shadow emerged from the clouds of dust and was running toward the Four Sovereigns.
The dark shadow held a black sword and was moving very fast. He was unstoppable and was undeterred by the obstacles onthe way.
The fully armored soldiers were nothing to him as he defeated them easily. There were suddenly a lot of casualties.
“An assassin! Quick! Stop him!” Ignatius came to his senses quickly and gathered the royal guards as he charged toward theshadow.
“Hmm! He’s only one, and we have thousands of soldiers to protect us! He might be able to fly, but he'll never get to us with thenumber of soldiers around us!” Draven said haughtily with a cold look.
Even though the most effective way to defeat an enemy was to kill the leader, it was actually the most difficult thing to achieve.
It could only be achieved through covert means. It was a suicidal act for this lone assassin to attack the leader of the enemy soopenly.
They all had a team of royal guards to protect them. Even if there was a real threat, they could escape unscathed under theprotection of the royal guards. They didn’t have to fear for their lives.
“Draven! Things are not looking up. That assassin is too powerful. The common soldiers couldn’t take him on, “Ignatius said witha frown.
He had very good eyes. Hence, he was able to see that the assassin was killing everyone blocking his way.novelbin
“Why are you flustered? It’s just an assassin. | doubt he could make any difference.” Draven’s attitude remained haughty.
He was one of the four esteemed sovereigns. He mustn’t show fear before an assassin.
“Draven! No, the assassin is getting too close. He’s just a few feet away from us. We must retreat to safety!” Ignatius shoutedurgently.
“Well...” Draven frowned slightly and looked displeased. He had thought that the assassin would never get this far.He had no idea that the assassin could actually penetrate this deep. The assassin had immense potential!
The problem was that he had just claimed the assassin wouldn't get far. If he retreated now, wouldn’t it be a blow to his ego? It'dbe very embarrassing for him if this got out.
“Fuck it! Whatever, retreat!” Ignatius decided to give the order to back down when Draven couldn’t make up his mind.
He immediately got ready to leave with the royal guards. They were so close to success tonight! It'd be the joke of the nation ifthey were killed by an assassin!
