Chapter 280: Come at Me, All of You! (1/2)

Special envoy Basil narrowed his eyes and quietly looked around him. Even though the escorts of the diplomatic corps hadn’t said a word, all of their faces were clearly upset because of the contemptuous indiscretion of that person from Lancaster.

‘Good. I could use this.’

Old Basil nodded almost imperceptibly.

But even if he did recognize the faces of his escort, he did not remember most of their names for the life of him, and in the end only had Sir Monan in mind.

Despite being unaware of Monan’s actual ability, he probably wouldn’t be that weak since he was chosen as a leader of imperial military elites.

But even as Basil was about to respond to the pink flatfish man, he started boasting away. “Forget it. Come at me, all of you! Incidentally, I’ve just put my skill points on the nonlethal False Swipe technique!”

Basil:???

Were the people of Lancaster all so arrogant?

Even if no one asked Basil ‘what do you think’, he was aware that something was strange. However, being an envoy who was able to think calmly unaffected did not mean that his escort could as well.

In fact, Basil’s incitement last night meant that they were already holding in their agitation. Now, with that aberrant wearing the pink flatfish head mask clearly holding them in such disdain, how could these soldiers who thought highly of themselves as elites be able to do nothing?

“Well, I shall see how good you are!”

Monan saluted the flatfish man with a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes, accepting the challenge.

He really wanted nothing more to fight him alone and break that pink flatfish mask, but since his comrades were extremely annoyed as well, having anyone fighting alone meant that everyone was not going to vent to their heart’s content.

So, instead of stirring trouble with something as trivial as this, everyone should just have at him as he put it, and take down that supreme imbecile!

“Ready your crossbows. Let’s give this Lancaster man a warm welcome, imperial capital-style!”

On Monan’s command, all the other knights handily nocked the bolts on their left gauntlets that were concealed in their left gauntlets under two seconds.

Though the bolts appeared small and fragile, the tips that shimmered coldly made it clear that those weren’t toys but lethal weapons!

Meanwhile, the pink flatfish had also strode forward when they were arming their crossbows, rushing towards Monan at frightening speed!

In that split second, Monan and the others fired-over twenty bolts hence shot towards the Flatfish Swordsman from every direction!

Monan didn’t drop his guard either. He didn’t stop at one bolt—with the skill he had refined in the battlefield, he had let loose four bolts in the blink of an eye.

And yet, the Flatfish Swordsman was unexpectedly agile. Even as he dashed rapidly ahead, he agilely shifted his path, even assuming certain poses to evade the bolts.

Before some of the knights could react, they were already struck on the nape, their eyes rolling into their heads as they fell unconscious!

“No way! Slipping away from so many bolts…” Monan exclaimed in disbelief.
