Chapter 769 A ruse all along

When the dark clothed figures saw me stand up and move towards the fourth prince, they had no choice but to come out as well and follow me.

Though they walked in a calm manner to blend into the chaos, their hands were on their weapons.

They didn't let their guards down for even a single second as they were prepared to fight their way out if things went south. Though it was clear that the first person that they were prepared to kill if things went wrong was me.

We just casually walked forward towards the fourth prince.

It didn't seem like anyone noticed what we were doing as we approached the fourth prince.

The guards around us were all focused on the bear that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Stop it!"

"Protect his highness!"

"Don't let it get close to his highness!"

These were the things that were said by these guards as they were focused on the bear.

It seemed like everything was going according to plan until...we suddenly reached the fourth prince.

The dark clothed thugs didn't go with me as I approached the fourth prince since they were afraid of alerting the fourth prince. So instead, they were hiding nearby just in case anything happened so they could act at any moment.

I walked right over to the fourth prince's horse without anyone doing a single thing.

Even though there were still elite guards that were standing near the fourth prince, they didn't seem to stop me.

But then all of a sudden, the fourth prince turned to look in my direction.

Before they could throw their daggers, they were cut down by the elite guards of the fourth prince.

These were elite guards of the fourth prince and they were thugs that were employed by the Snake Syndicate, there was no comparison between the two.

"It's over, finish them off." The fourth prince suddenly said after pulling me onto his horse.

The moment that he said this, all of the fourth prince's elite guards suddenly turned around to face Duke Yuletide's men. At the same time, there were roars that came from above them as large shadows were cast on the ground.

There were a bunch of wyverns that suddenly appeared in the air.

Duke Yuletide's men couldn't do anything as they were completely outmatched by the elite guards of the fourth prince.

It wasn't that they hadn't been trained enough, it was that they were completely outclassed when it came to gear.

Even if Duke Yuletide didn't spare any expense, it wasn't as if they were able to get the best gear. After all, the best gear was something that money couldn't buy. It was something that could only be obtained when one knew people.

That was the case with the fourth prince.

Or rather, it was the case with me.

With the dwarves in my town, we had been supplying the fourth prince with weapons and armour forged by them. The elite guards were wearing these rune enhanced weapons and armour, so there was no way that they would lose.

At the same time, the wyverns in the sky shot their flames down on the formation of Duke Yuletide's men.

So in the end, they couldn't do a thing as they were completely overwhelmed.

It was at this moment that Duke Yuletide suddenly came back from the forest.

With the way that he was panting, it was as if he had suddenly run back after noticing what had happened.

When he came out, he immediately asked the fourth prince, "Your highness, what is going on here? Is there some kind of misunderstanding?"
