"Elder Xia, let us go!"
"The Demon Race is right before us, bent on slaughtering our compatriots. As members of the Human Race, how can we stand by with folded arms?"
"That's right! We aren't afraid of death. Seeing demons and being unable to kill them feels worse than death!"
Quite a few Blood-Armored Guards stepped forward to volunteer.
Originally, fear had filled their hearts. After all, as long as one was human, one would fear death!
But when they saw Xiao Chen truly charge alone into the pack of Dog Demons and slaughter ten of them,
The hot blood in their hearts was ignited.
Damn it, they were Human Race too. They had blood and courage too. How could they let Xiao Chen risk his life against the Demon Race alone?
"You are not allowed to go."
Yet after struggling for a long time, Elder Xia ultimately decided not to act.
He had made that promise just now. Whatever infamy came afterward, he would shoulder it alone.
But he could not let the Blood-Armored Guard unit go to their deaths!
Two thousand demons were simply too terrifying. With so few of them, going out there would only mean death!
"But..."
"No buts. Your duty is to protect the princess. Everything else comes after that!"
"Let them go!"
At that moment, Ye Lanxi spoke.
"Silver Moon Princess, this..."
Elder Xia was stunned.
"I have already sent a plea for aid to the Zhenbei King. My younger sister Ye Qingxuan and many martial academy disciples are at Zhenbei King Manor. That is no small force. If they can gather, they may not be unable to drive back the Demon Race!"
Ye Lanxi's eyes flickered slightly.
Elder Xia froze upon hearing this.
The Ninth Princess and a group of martial academy disciples
