The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 1499

The meaning behind their words was very simple—they were willing to be the bad guys and shoulder all the blame if it meant protecting the country.

This way, it was easy to win the favor and admiration of others.

“The Four Basilisks aren’t only extraordinary fighters, they’re also very respectable individuals.”

“Erudia is fortunate to have you!”

Winsor and everyone else gazed at the four of them with respect.

They were role models to look up to.

Little did they know that the Four Basilisks had killed the prisoners in order to keep the truth hidden and that it had nothing to do with the country’s safety.

Western Monk looked down, ashamed to be given such undeserved praise.

“The Dragonites have received the news! They will welcome the four of you back with the highest honor.”

“I also heard that they’re planning to inaugurate all four of you as Crown Kings!”

Minka just received that news from the Dragonites.

“What? Crown Kings?”

Eastern Beast’s eyes lit up with delight, and so did his other two comrades.

It was truly a blessing in disguise!

Without needing to do anything, they were worshipped by thousands of people and became heroes of Erudia. And now, they might even be coronated.

It was truly a dream come true.

“Mystery fighter, don’t worry. We’ll pray for your soul to rest in peace.”

They sent a silent prayer up for him.

Meanwhile, the thirty-eight people who had left with Levi witnessed this from the shadows.

They were about to step out to rejoin the group, but after watching how the Four Basilisks slaughtered all the prisoners, they decided to stay hidden.

They also understood that the Basilisks wanted to kill everyone who knew about the truth, including them.

If they were to reveal themselves, the Basilisks would undoubtedly kill them too.

Not to mention, they were the ones who knew the whole truth, including the identity of the person who slayed the Northern Demon.

To the Four Basilisks, they posed a bigger threat than anyone else.

“Run!”
