237 Kill Him (2/2)
Therefore, it was very easy for the second prince to know where Roland was escaping to.
Also, if Roland had watched the livestream, he would've known that the second prince stated to Husseret that he wanted his stepmother not only because she was pretty, but more importantly, because Andonara could raise Great Swordsman.
Veronica was a perfect example.
The second prince intended to train a batch of Great Swordsmen who were absolutely loyal to him so that he could compete with his big brother.
But to the second prince's surprise, he had pissed off the worst enemies. If Roland and his gang weren't involved, his plan could have worked out.
But now, his four hundred guards were almost all dead, and he had been surrounded.
Though F6 had surrounded the second prince, they were faced with a problem too.
Should they kill the second prince or not?
The guy voluntarily asked for brutalization, and they should satisfy the guy's wish.
However, they had no quests about the second prince, and if they killed the second prince, they would be the powerful royal family's sworn enemy.
If it were different circumstances, they could've walked away after pissing off the royal family.
However, they also had to deal with the headquarters of the Association of Mages.
If they killed the second prince, the royal family would definitely stab them in the back when they dealt with the headquarters.
That being said, the royal family had been insulted even if the second prince was left alive. After all, hundreds of royal guards had died.
So, the royal family would probably choose backstabbing if Roland's team was involved in a fight with the headquarters.
The only difference would be the intensity of the royal family's counterattack.
In the chat room of the guild, Husseret pinged Roland and asked, ”Do we kill him or not?”
Roland asked, ”How many princes are there in the royal family?”
Husseret said, ”I'm not sure.”
Roland turned around and asked Andonara, ”How many princes are there in the royal family?”
”Six, not counting the bastards.”
Roland immediately dropped a message in the guild system. ”Kill him, but let the surviving royal guards go. If we don't kill the prince, the royal family might think we're weak. We've already pissed them off anyway, so we might as well see how far we can get.”
Husseret said, ”Copy that!”
The second prince's handsome face was twisted and covered in white ash and black smoke.
He roared, ”I'm a royal prince! If you dare to kill me, not only will you die yourselves, but my father will also make your family and friends die miserably.”
The second prince, too, knew that his enemies were invulnerable Golden Sons from an alternate dimension, but he was so frightened that he subconsciously resorted to this instinctive threat.
The fire illuminated and reddened his face, almost making it look unreal.
The enormous dragon lunged from the sky.
Scared, the second prince stared at the red dragon, fearing that it would spurt fire at him. The soldiers were scared too.
Nobody dared to overlook a swooping dragon.
But the red dragon only passed over their heads without doing anything.
The second prince's eyes were frozen. An arrow had been shot into his throat without warning.
Soundless Arrow was not the Assassin's unique skill; Hunters were capable of it too. After all, many animals and magical beasts had great hearing, and they could dodge incoming arrows if the arrows were noisy.
The second prince slowly fell backward, his eyes still wide open.
After a brief shock, all of his guards fled in panic.
Very soon, nobody could be seen anymore.
At this point, everybody was exclaiming in the livestream channel.
”They really did it. Awesome. F6 is confronting the royal family!”
