Chapter 850: Resistance (2)

As George directed his full attention to his rebellious younger brother, a 25 year old, handsome hunter with a center parting hairstyle that flowed to his shoulders nocked an arrow to his bow.

A moment later, an arrow flew straight at a fleeing soldiers head, ending the man instantly.

Due to the suddenness of this attack, no one was able to react, not even George.

However, that stunned silence did not last long as a wave of anger washed over the man. Moranthal! What do you think youre doing?! Are you mad?!

Im not mad, nay, youre the one that has lost his mind. Moranthal did not withdraw his bow, instead nocking another arrow. As he pulled back the bowstring, he mocked the man. Youre too calm about this, as youve always been. Cold-blooded, even.

At the mention of blood, he fired his second arrow.

Once more, the arrow flew sure, ending the life of a fleeing soldier.

Moranthal was a four-star warrior, and a hunter at the same time; there was no way his arrows would be dodged by a mere two-star.

With two of their comrades dead by arrow, even the dumbest of soldiers had figured out that someone was sniping them. These were elite soldiers, not fools. They merely seemed like one because of the gigantic stone monster trying to murder them.Findd new stories at novelhall.com

The leader of this particular unit was a six-star officer. His armor was noticeably more ornate than the rest of his men, with even hints of a defensive array carved onto it.

Do not panic. Form up and raise the defenses!

A wise decision in a chaotic situation. Having given the orders, the officer strode towards the villagers; he clearly had something to say to these peasants.

He knew the villagers were responsible for those arrows. And with those experts stalling that frightening monster in the background, they could only rely on themselves to resolve this situation.

Moranthal! George grabbed the hunters hands. Are you trying to push us all into the depths of the abyss?

Moranthal had already expected some form of retaliation and dodged the incoming hand easily. Arent we already there?

Yet George wasnt the only villager Moranthal had to deal with now. A number of villagers were of the same mind as George.

Moranthal, we all wish to help Lady Mo Ke, but theres no way we can stand against the Dukes men

Moranthal, stop. No matter what, Lady Mo Ke is still a devil

Moranthal, are you trying to get us all killed

Fools! Do you really believe those soldiers will forgive us now that Ive killed three of their own? Moranthal glared at the approaching officer with cold eyes. As he stared down the ornately-armored man, he slowly pulled out another arrow and smirked. To these little lordlings, Im the same as you guys. And they dont seem like the listening sort either. Put yourselves in their shoes for a second Would you even listen when three of your comrades were just shot dead?

Immediately, the rising anger died down amongst the villagers. His words were like a bucket of the coldest water, splashed upon them in the dead of winter

At this point, they had no choice but to accept the cold hard truth. From the moment that first arrow was fired, they were pulled into the same camp as the Demoness Abode. At least to these soldiers, they were all cultists in league with the devils.

Even George knew not what to say right now.

He knew better than anyone else that there was no going back.

Well? What are you all waiting for? While they are still in disarray, kill them all! Do not let a single one of them leave this place alive if you value your lives!

Moranthal fired off his fourth arrow then. Not too far away, the brave and wise officer knew his master plan had just failed
