Just when Ignatius got ready to speak, he pointed to a direction while narrowing his eyes
and shouted in surprise, “Look! What is that?”
The others looked in the direction he was pointing. They saw a dark object in the sky
heading straight down, and it crashed in the middle of their troops.
The explosion was deafening, and everything quaked as dust rose. There was a gigantic
wave of energy spreading outward from the 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 few hundred soldiers.
“The fuck! What the hell was that?” Draven squinted his eyes. He couldn’t see what
attacked them due to the thick clouds of dust.
“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.

“I can see it clearly now! It’s a person!” Ignatius had good vision and pointed at where the
object fell. Then, he shouted, “He’s charging 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 on the 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 the shadow.
“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 the number 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 so openly.
They all had a team of royal guards to protect them. Even if there was a real threat, they
could escape unscathed under the protection 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 with a frown.
He had very good eyes. Hence, he was able to see that the assassin was killing everyone
blocking his way.

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 shouted urgently.
“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’d be 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 if they were killed by an assassin!
