Seeing that, Hepburn immediately shouted, “Heed my orders, members of the Curia. Prepare for war.”
Whoosh!
Over a hundred Holy Knights unsheathed their Curia-customized swords while holding small silver shields in their left hands. They took a step forward uniformly and switched into a fighting stance.
The cardinals retreated and took out their Curia-customized guns. Those guns utilized mithril bullets which were specifically used to target and effectively injure the dark clan.
Colin and Sevan stood guard on each of Nathan's sides while the Elite Eight and Seven Champions stood in a row behind him.
All of them had already entered combat mode.
Aaryan was determined to kill Nathan. However, he didn't make any impatient or hasty moves. Instead, he planned to let his subordinates drain Nathan's stamina first.
At that moment, he lifted his arm elegantly, gently waved his hand, and uttered impassively, “Go. Anyone who manages to kill Nathan will not only be rewarded with one drop of my ancestral blood but also receive a promotion to the rank of nobility.”
The horde of bondslaves at the scene grew excited after listening to Aaryan's announcement.
Although they had low IQs, becoming stronger was the nature of all species.
Acquiring one drop of Aaryan's ancestral blood was sufficient for them to undergo a complete transformation. In addition, the promotion to the noble rank would allow the bondslaves to attain the peak of their lives.
Under the influence of Aaryan's will command and motivation with luxurious rewards, the throng of bondslaves shrieked and charged forward, surging toward Nathan and the others like violent waves.
Hepburn raised Dictum with one hand and aimed at the bondslave leading the assault while screaming, “Let's go! Kill these dark minions!”
With that, she fired the first shot of the war.
Bang!
The gunshot sounded.
The bullet hit the bondslave charging at the front of the army, and his head exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
