Chapter 168 - [Bonus Chapter]Shadows

"That's enough! there is no need for all of this, every misunderstanding will come to the negotiation table no matter how long it lasts, Let's start negotiations as sensible men and end this madness!!" The Duke shouted as high as he could after seeing the many moves around him

the 800 knights who are about to use categorized bows and metal arrows, the 200 knights who used *Darkness talismans* and disappeared already, and even 9 Saints are about to use Darkness talismans well with the clear intention of attacking them while they are busy with the energy shield

Any group of these three undoubtedly can deal strong blows to the saints involved in the energy shield, or at the very least distract them

If this happens and the shield is broken, a few saints will be severely injured and thousands of soldiers behind him will turn into ashes... not to mention Edward, who put his army on standby with thousands of talismans attached to arrows threatening to demolish another large chunk of his army

Everything accelerated very dangerously within seconds!!

After the duke's shout, Billy raised his hand with a stopping gesture, the Wind Knights lowered their bows 

and the Dark Knights reappeared... but this time they appeared behind two of the Evren Family Saints with daggers in their hands, the two saints felt a shiver running down their spine when they saw this... 

if those two hundred knights focused their attacks on them in such a situation, then they are good as dead!

Then Billy raised his voice, "General Edward, please hold your hands! don't destroy the Evren family's army just yet, let's hear what the Duke has to say first."

"Again? Why don't you just let me blow them up!! ..sigh~ it doesn't matter, that is your army anyway." Edward replied, looking disappointed, then directed the crossbows to lower their bows

The short conversation between Billy and Edward made the Duke almost vomit blood, but he pretended he didn't hear anything and focused on the energy barrier for about another minute until the massive white fire spear head lost its momentum and disappeared into thin air...

And after the attack vanished, so was the energy shield... Galan looked to his right and left at his 31 Saints and found them all sweaty and panting.

Then he looked at the person who had caused this, looked at Robin, and spoke disgustingly, " I see that you have grown claws and fangs, good for you, sons of Burton!!"

Robin gave a cruel smile as well, but he didn't respond to the Dukes' words... 

he was better off than any Evren Saint he sees in front of him, actually, he is in a worse situation! 

Even though he knows the Fire heavenly law perfect technique like the back of his hands, this was the first time he tried to attempt something like that, he only felt that he could do it when he saw the massive white fire spear head above him, that took its shape from the knights attacking formation, and decided to give it a try!

controlling this massive amount of energy drained most of his energy, and even his recently strengthened soul Power took a huge blow with as well.

"Your highness, I think we have a lot to talk about," Billy spoke without emotions

"There is nothing to talk about with scum like you! Didn't you come to pick up your comrades? Take them and get off my land!" The Duke spoke angrily

"Your highness!! They have killed 3 Saints and thousands of soldiers, they were our ken and blood! how can we just let them leave?!" One of the saints of the Evren family shouted

"There is no need for more blood to be spilled today." The Duke replied in a strong voice, then looked at Billy, "What are you waiting for? scram before I change my mind!"

"Scram, you say? just like that? moments ago we might have accepted that, but now.. huh~" Robin raised both of his hands and shouted, "FIRE LEGION!!"

"WE ARE HERE!!"

*shoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa*

Once again, thousands of single fire attacks started rushing upwards and gathering into the shape of a spear head

"ARCHERS, RAISE YOUR BOWS AND GET READY TO FIRE!!" A shout from Edward resounded on the other side as well

" What the hell are you doing?! Why are you starting all over again?!" The Duke shouted while looking behind and in front of him, the powerful image he had taken for himself just a moment ago has collapsed again,

his psychological defenses had already been destroyed but he didn't know

Robin laughed out loud, "Do you think your crimes will be solved by giving us permission to leave? Do you think that trying to bully the Burton family will go unpunished? Do you think that... you are the one who has the power to allow the other side to leave or not?!"

"AAAAHHHHH!!!" The last glimpse of the Duke's remaining control was broken by Robin's words, not able to control himself anymore, he raised his fist and launched an all-out attack at him.

*BAA* 

The sound barrier broke causing an air explosion by the might of the sudden attack as a fist-shaped energy burst made its way toward Robin

"NOOOOOO" Billy and the rest of the Burton Saints know very well that if this punch reached one of them, it would put him between life and death, and if it reached Robin, he would surely be dead!

*swoosh*

Suddenly a dark shadow appeared and stood a couple of meters in front of Robin's war horse

BOOM

The punch fell on the shadow, but to everyone's surprise, he only took a few steps back before stabilizing himself.. the shadow that came out of nowhere has blocked an all out attack from the Duke!

"Wh-…" Before anyone could make any reaction, Duke Donald felt a cold blade on his neck…

When he looked out of the corner of his eye, he found a familiar person, "Senior... Gusta... Marley?! then that man right there is.."

"Listen, I don't care what happens between you and the Burton family, if you want you can kill them all, except for this boy! It is my duty to protect him at all costs if it happens and he dies somehow today... I will have your head before we go back to the capital, hope I was clear enough." 

After Gusta finished speaking, he vanished without a trace, and the Saint who had shielded the blow in front of Robin also vanished, leaving everyone wondering what had just happened.
