Armipotent

Chapter 487 - Sowing Dissension

”Are you sure with this, Kaiden?” Crown Prince Chandler called his brother by name, meaning he was being serious. This was not a joking matter, it was a big accusation. To an Earl at that.

”I am not sure, Brother. But itʼs not wrong to be cautious and take some precautions. If I am wrong then I am wrong, but if itʼs the truth, our kingdom will be in danger. Focusing the investigation on the Malone Family would not bring harm to us. Itʼs not like we openly investigate them or declare the Malone Family is a part of the Revolution Army openly.” Prince Kaiden somehow believed what Zaneos told him even though he did not know what they were trying to achieve. However, it was not wrong to eliminate one of the threats to the kingdom before he thought of another way to cancel the oath and told his brother that someone from another world snuck into their World.

”What do you think, Commander Garen?” Crown Prince Chandler did not immediately agree to what his brother told him. While he loved his brother, he knew his brother well. He was aware that his brother disliked his fiancee, Ashley. The Crown Prince was afraid that this was something his brother schemed to ruin the engagement.

”The fact that a demon kidnapped Ashley under their own nose is suspicious enough. Is it even a demon? As for the young Princeʼs accusation, Itʼs worth doing some investigations on them. The Malone Family was in the suspicion list, though the probability of them being part of the Revolution Army is small I would say.” Commander Garen gave his response respectfully.

”I agree with Prince Kaiden though. They are under a suspicion list as well, might as well investigate them,” Arvin voiced his thoughts as well.

”I will report this to Father. We need his Majestyʼs permission to investigate Earl Malone. For one, letʼs act as we donʼt hear what my brother says.” Crown Prince Chandler warned his brother and Arvin.

Captain Knight Morris rushed toward his home. He had a daughter and a wife. The spirit suddenly barged into the knight quarter and told him to get his family and escape to Biaska Town. That was one of three towns that bordered the Gigante Forest.

He did not know why the spirit asked them to escape, but he listened to them anyway because they were now part of the Tang Empire. His Lord was now Tang Shaoyang, not Earl Malone.

Fortunately, the spirits helped them to escape too. Captain Knight Morris and the other knights were escorted by Bronson and Yowe. Carrying his seven years daughter and holding his wifeʼs hand, he ran through the forest.

”Where do you want to go, Morris!” Suddenly a voice echoed, causing them to stop their steps. Everyone looked toward the voice and found a group of seven knights blocking their paths, ”Why are you in a hurry? And why do you bring your family? Does the Ambrose Family mistreat you?”

Bronsonʼs figure appeared in front of the big group. He was holding his reavers, looking at the knights menacingly, ”Master never says anything about not killing these knights. I thought this mission would be a boring mission, but I have these fools to entertain me.”

”Oh Morris Oh Morris, not only you betrayed the Master who has been raising you, but you also work together with an undead? I canʼt believe this but thank you. If I can bring this undead to-” the words cut off as Bronson suddenly appeared in front of the knight who was talking to Captain Knight Morris.

Bronson did not attack him as the knight subconsciously raised his shield forward, ”You talk too much, Human!”

Dang!

Bronson purposely swung the reaver toward the shield. The knight was pushed back, almost fell if not for the other knights who supported him from the back, ”Yowe, bring them to the rendezvous point. I will take care of the knight that is only good using his mouth instead of a sword!”

Yowe followed the command as he led Captain Knight Morris and his family, and the other knights with their families as well, ”Are you sure leaving your friend alone? We can face them together. I can fight!”

At this point, Captain Knight Morris was aware of what happened. Even though it was still not clear, he knew that Master Duran was looking for them. From the way that knight spoke to him, it seemed the knights returned from Earth were targeted by Master Duran.

ʼItʼs fortunate that man sends his spirits to warn and help us to escape,ʼ Morris could not help but think even though the man was the cause of all of this.

”Thereʼs no need unless you want to get on Bronsonʼs bad side, you can try to help him,” Yowe replied emotionlessly as he kept moving forward.

”Look at this arrogant filthy undead, does he think he can win against all of us!” The talkative knight was drawing his sword and pointed at Bronson, ”Leave this filthy undead to me! You guys chase them!”

The other six knights nodded and tried to chase the group. However, Bronson was too fast for them as he appeared in front of the six knights, ”You canʼt pass me unless you kill me which is impossible! Give me your lives, filthy knights!”

[Shadow Step]

Bronsonʼs figure blurred into a shadow, then the shadows split into six, moving into six directions. The knights were caught off guard by how swift Bronson was. Bronson then shot up from one of the shadows with his reavers. It was not just one, but there were six Bronson, coming from each of the shadows.

The six Bronson swung his reaver toward the knightʼs neck. The element of surprise from Bronson caused the knights to fail to react in time. The reaver easily pierced through the neck and all six knightʼs heads flew off as six fountains of blood spurted. The headless knightsʼ bodies walked three steps forward before they fell and followed with their heads.

”This is too weak,” Bronson then looked toward the last knight. The last knightʼs body shuddered at the sight of Bronson executing his six comrades. His comrades could not do anything, they just died without being able to fight back. Only then he realized this was not just a normal undead.

Fear and terror overwhelmed the last knight, he took a step back each time Bronson took a step forward, ”What is this? I thought you were sort of a brave knight or something, so you are just a coward that hides behind that plate. Brave when you face the weak, but cower in fear when you face the strong. Typical knight!”

Bronson had the title Knight Slayer before the advancement was for a reason. Because in his previous life, he had been killing knights. Many, many knights, not that it was not that without a reason. His village was burned by the knights, he saw with his own eyes that her mother and father were beheaded by them. Even his six years old sister was not spared either. They did not know the reason why the knights slaughtered the villagers.

He survived by pretending to be dead before a band of bandits that tried to loot his burned village saved him. From that onward, Bronson was determined to slaughter every knight he encountered. The main reason why he was getting overly excited when knights appeared in front of him.
