“Colin, your time is up!”

Prince Meruvi shouted, echoing like thunder in the plains.

Despite his large and beefy figure, he moved sprightly like a venomous snake shooting out from a hole, thundering towards Colin.

Anticipating Prince Meruvi’s ambush, Colin swiftly retreated.

Simultaneously, two thousand cavalrymen emerged from the Dark Cavalry behind, split symmetrically and charged from both wings to cover Colin’s retreat.

The Trolls were also quick to act, a team of wolf-mounted guards burst out from the city gate, ready to assist Modo the Second.

At the moment Prince Meruvi attacked, Modo the Second immediately dashed towards the city gate.

Not worried about Prince Meruvi he thought that as a fifth-order samurai, killing Colin and Charles should be effortless. Even if this causes a delay and the vanguards of the Dark Cavalry catch him, with Prince Meruvi’s strength, he could still escape if he wanted to.

Prince Meruvi was now close to Colin, a twisted grin on his face, his fists like iron, reaching for Colin’s skull.

Unexpectedly, Charles who was beside Colin, suddenly stepped forward, blocking Colin’s path.

Prince Meruvi was somewhat befuddled.

WelI, if it’s an ordinary guard sacrificing himself to save Colin, that makes sense.

But what about Charles?

This was the eldest son of the St. Hilde family!

Even if his title of Marquis of the North Territory was stripped, as long as his surname is St. Hilde and the blood of the Holy Knight family flows in his veins, no one would dare look down on him.

Even in some sense, Charles’s life was more valuable than Colin’s.

This was why Modo the Second had warned Prince Meruvi before to kill Colin, but capture Charles alive.

He feared that if Charles were to die here, it would incur the wrath of the Northern Duke who was a Holy Knight.

But now, Charles, like a loyal knight of the Angler family, fearlessly met the fatal blow from Prince Meruvi, laden with killing intent.

Prince Meruvi wavered.

With his power, killing Charles would be as easy as slaughtering a chicken.

But he dared not.

Whether it was Modo’s previous admonition, or the intimidations of the Duke of Holy Knight, none allowed Prince Meruvi to disrespect the heirs of the St. Hilde family and shed their blood.

With no other choice, Prince Meruvi was forced to change his approach.

With a couple of crisp cracks, Charles’s arms were dislocated instantly.

Prince Meruvi casually tossed Charles aside and continued forward.

But he only took one step and felt a pain in his ankle. Looking back, he found Charles, like a rabid dog, biting onto his right foot.

“Have you lost your mind?” Prince Meruvi couldn’t fathom why Charles was going to such lengths to protect Colin.

However, the madness in Charles’s eyes sent a chill down Prince Meruvi’s spine.

Resisting the urge to kill, Prince Meruvi controlled his strength and kicked Charles in the chest.

Crack

A series of bone-breaking sounds echoed, leaving a mystery of how many intact ribs Charles had left.

Having cleared himself from Charles’s interference, Prince Meruvi saw that Colin had already made some distance away.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With every step onto the hard frozen tundra, deep hollows were left behind. Propelled by the rebound, Prince Meruvi, like a gigantic elephant, charged towards Colin.

Indeed, the moment Prince Meruvi suddenly turned against Colin, in addition to the Dark Cavalry and the Wolf Cavalry Guards in the Royal City, a third force was rushing towards the meeting place of the two parties.

They were the Troll prisoners Colin had just released as a gift.

Perhaps by coincidence, just as Colin finished listing his terms for peace, these Troll prisoners had just arrived between the Dark Cavalry and the Troll King’s City. They were roughly in the position where Colin and Modo the Second were about to meet.

The reason Modo the Second had chosen to act abruptly was that he noticed these Troll prisoners were nearby.

At that time, he had silently mocked Colin for being so careless, allowing these prisoners to get so close. Did he think that the Trolls wouldn’t dare touch him?

At this point, the Troll prisoners immediately divided into two forces. One group rushed towards Colin, while the other rushed towards Modo the Second.

Seeing this, Modo the Second thought that these Troll prisoners were coming to assist him and immediately ordered loudly, “Don’t mind me. Help Prince Meruvi stop Colin!”

However, these Troll prisoners seemed to have completely ignored Modo the Second’s command and continued to dash towards him.

Modo the Second frowned, but seeing that half of the Troll prisoners were rushing towards Colin, he didn’t say anything further, thinking that the group of Troll prisoners rushing towards him was just overly protective.

But the next second, Modo the Second realized something was wrong.

This group of Troll prisoners charged up to him, their faces showing no fear or respect, but a heart-stopping indifference instead.

“What are you doing?” Modo the Second, surrounded by the Troll prisoners, was somewhat at a loss.

However, the Troll prisoners ignored Modo the Second, only surrounding him to prevent him from continuing to flee towards the City Gate.

Modo the Second was panic-stricken. Seeing the approaching Dark Cavalry in the distance, he barked with suppressed fear, “Are you all mad? Why are you blocking my way?”

Then, Modo the Second saw a familiar face among the prisoners. “Gangdor! What does this mean? I didn’t blame you for our defeat outside Wind Roar Fortress. If you escort me back to the Royal City, I promise not to punish you.”

However, it was like Modo the Second was playing a lute before an ox, the group of Troll prisoners completely ignored his words.

On the other hand, when Prince Meruvi also saw the approaching Troll prisoners, he shouted excitedly, “Quickly, quickly, stop Colin for me!”

However, those Troll prisoners had no intention of stopping Colin but instead surged towards Prince Meruvi.

“Are you all mad!” Prince Meruvi was stunned. He couldn’t understand why these Trolls were helping the humans!

These Troll prisoners were professionals selected from the southern army. Although they weren’t high-ranking, their sheer number made Prince Meruvi flustered.

Looking at Modo the Second and Prince Meruvi, who had fallen into a state of heavy encirclement, Colin also stopped running and laughed.

Soon, the Dark Cavalry behind him also caught up.

Colin began to accelerate forward, and Knight Logh was already close by. A spare horse was timely released for Colin, who spotted the opportunity and leapt onto it.

Whinny

Amid the neighing, the Dark Cavalry did not stop. They bypassed Prince Meruvi, who was entangled by the Troll prisoners, and rushed towards Modo the Second.

The Wolf Cavalry Guards who rushed out of the Royal City also arrived just in time, but their number was no more than two hundred, who seemed like a fragile piece of paper in front of the two thousand iron-hoofed Dark Cavalry, easily broken with one charge.

At this point, Modo the Second had already fallen into deep despair. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t understand why his people would betray him.

“Modo the Second, your life ends here!” Colin charged like a bolt of lightning and echoed the insults Prince Meruvi had shouted ten minutes earlier.

The Knight Sword was raised high above the head, glowing a chilling brightness under the illumination of the morning light.

Modo the Second’s heart was almost stopped at that moment. Out of terror, he roared unwillingly:

“Colin, Colin! I agree to your terms, I agree to your all terms!”

“Hahaha! It’s too late!”

Colin had no patience to waste words with him and rushed past on his horse.

The Blade of Judgement in his hand, shimmering with a golden glow, splashed out fresh blood,

And a huge head!
