“I can’t stay here any longer. I really can’t!”
Shawn was riding on his horse, as his expression became horrified and then stunned. His lips were even shivering.
With the sword carried on his shoulder, Jack was still filled to the brim with murderous intent on the battlefield. At that moment, he was like a devil had descended upon him. Fear immediately blinded Shawn.
Even though they were far from each other and with Achilles in between, who was also eagerly wanted to kill him.
Deep down in Shawn’s heart, he wasn’t afraid of Achilles. But he knew that Jack posed more threat to him!
Achilles was strong. But he was still a human after all.
And at that time, Jack… wasn’t human!
He was so desperate in his heart that there was no doubt if he continued to stay, Jack would be able to walk up in front of him and dismember his head with a slash!
“This is the order of the Wolf! No one can disobey!”
The middle-aged man clenched the reins with his right hand. As he looked at Jack, who was slaughtering everything in his path, his heart sank.
How could he not understand the situation even when Shawn could?
But that was an order from the Wolf. He was only a general commanding ten thousand men and he couldn’t even oppose.
“If the price of capturing Jack is to have ten thousand troops slaughtered, it’s a price I’m willing to pay!”
This was what the middle-aged man pondered to himself.
At that same time.
Achilles’s fight with three of the The Expendable Wolfs was almost at its end.
Tracth!
The sword made a hole through the chest of the last The Expendable Wolf.
Achilles didn’t immediately remove the sword. He was clenching on the hilt while catching his breath.
A high-intensity brawl on the battlefield could not be simulated with those ones on one combats!
On the battlefield, there was danger in every corner. Not only did you need to use all your strength during combat, you were also required to be on full alert of your surroundings. It was extremely exhausting.
Even though he was resting.
It only lasted for a mere few seconds.
Achilles pulled his sword out of the body of the deceased The Expendable Wolf, his cold and fierce gaze swept around the Foreign soldiers that had encircled him.
With the death of The Expendable Wolfs, the Foreign soldiers clearly knew what to do and immediately surrounded him.
As Achilles stood his ground, his tall figure was like a mountain. This made him stood out among the Foreign soldiers.
His whole body was radiating a domineering aura.
Anywhere he looked, no one dared to have eye contact with him.
Even the pace of the Foreign soldiers was extraordinarily slow and cautious.
“Phew….”
Achilles withdrew his gaze and with a cold sneer, he locked onto Shawn, who was not far from him, “Shawn! I killed your brother back then, and today… I’ll kill you too!”
Rumble!
His voice wasn’t loud, but it was packed with a penetrative force.
Shawn, who was on his horse, shocked to his core, as his gaze intercepted with Achilles’.
Terrified, shocked, and feeling totally hopeless…
Even if nearly ten thousand of his men were protecting him, it was difficult for Shawn to suppress these emotions.
However.
“Roar!”
On the battlefield, there was another terrifying roar heard.
Rumble!
And at the same time.
There was a sonic boom heard in the air.
Achilles was shocked and turned around quickly.
Just before he could fully turn around, he caught a glimpse of a sword drenched in blood flying in mid-air with his peripheral vision. The sword was flying at breakneck speed to a point that there was a sonic boom on the tip of the blade!
Was that…
Jack?!
Achilles swiftly shifted his gaze towards Shawn and the middle-aged man’s position.
Splat!
Following a loud splitting sound, a huge amount of blood came showering down.
The lightning-fast sword penetrated the middle-aged man’s neck effortlessly.
It was so fast that… no one reacted yet!
On the battlefield, the Foreign soldier was still approaching Achilles cautiously.
Shawn was still shocked while looking at Achilles.
