Upon hearing Sylvia's warning, the armored battalion immediately stood in front of Willow.
Brandishing their weapons, they were ready to sacrifice themselves to protect Lord Caspian's wife.
Macy had been keeping watch of their surroundings. She fired the first shot the moment she saw the attackers. As a seasoned soldier, her keen perception and insight were far from ordinary.
The sound of gunshots echoed in the streets.
Scared stiff, Willow and Zoey quickly crouched down. The civilians on the streets ran away in terror.
Sylvia immediately entered combat mode. As a general officer, she showed no signs of panic in the face of danger. With her precise marksmanship, each of her bullets found its mark, killing the attackers.
With their fast reaction, the armored soldiers were also not to be underestimated. However, a few of them suffered severe gunshot wounds to protect Willow.
After engaging in a few minutes of fierce battle, the attackers were wiped out.
Several of the armored soldiers had collapsed on the ground. They had all suffered severe wounds to protect Willow. Tears streamed down Willow's face when she saw that the soldiers had taken multiple bullets just to protect her.
Some of the soldiers rushed over when they noticed the situation. Even Joey, who had been maintaining public order, came over with the inspectors.
"What happened?" one of the team leaders asked.
"These are all spies of the enemy. They came to assassinate me," Sylvia said. The reason she said that was to protect Willow.
The fewer people who knew Willow was Caspian's wife, the better.
"Who are you? Why would they assassinate you?" the team leader asked. Although he was also a soldier from South Aridlands, he had never seen Sylvia before.
"I'm a general officer, Sylvia Frost!" She took out her military ID.
"General Frost!" The team leader stood straight and saluted Sylvia the moment he saw her ID.
"Send these people to the hospital for treatment immediately," Sylvia ordered. The armored soldiers were badly wounded and needed immediate treatment.
"Yes!" he replied. The team leader instructed his subordinates to send the soldiers to the hospital in their car. Sylvia also sent a few people to follow them.
"Are you alright, General Frost?" Joey asked concernedly. She had just rushed over.
"I'm alright. Thank you for your concern," she replied.
"It's the least I can do. Please be careful, General Frost," Joey said.
"It's just some spies. There's nothing to fear," Sylvia said indifferently. "Could you do me a favor, Ms. Sanders? Please clean up the scene."
"Huh?" Joey was rendered speechless by Sylvia's words. The inspector general was just about to become a professional mortician.
She had hardly done any real work since she was appointed.
"Everyone, clean up the scene immediately. Don't scare the civilians," Joey ordered. Anyway, this was something she had to do.
Joey and the others left after the situation had been handled.
"Don't be sad, Willow. Our mission is to ensure your safety. Even I would sacrifice my life to protect you," Sylvia comforted Willow after seeing her cry.
