Chapter 977 (2/2)

There was an instant when Bane had given up all hope. He panted, gazing at the guards charging at him. He closed his eyes and raised his sword, before swinging it forward…

“Everyone stop!”

All of a sudden, a snarl as loud as thunder overwhelmed the battlefield of clamors and blade clashes. Not only that, but Bane also felt his body coming to a halt as though it was frozen. He widened his eyes at the two guards standing before him in their offensive stance, their faces in complete astonishment. At this moment, a bright, holy ray of white shone and eradicated the darkness. Bane looked up at the sky where hundreds of glowing angels appeared before their eyes.

Battle Angels!

Bane shrieked. Even though they couldn’t stand the Battle Angels in the past, they respected them a lot more after the war against the Country of Darkness ended. It could also be said that if it weren’t for the Battle Angels, they would have died miserably in the hands of the undead creatures. As a result, the soldiers didn’t detest the Battle Angels as much as the ordinary civilians. And now, the Battle Angels were actually here to rescue them. If Bane recalled correctly, the parliament wasn’t in a position to control the Battle Angels. So if the Battle Angels were here on their own accord, this meant that…

Bane suddenly felt a sliver of hope.

“Stop fighting immediately!”

Boulder descended to the platform with a blazing sword in his hand. He swept a look at the crowd, which was stunned by his ‘intimidating’ words. Then, he knitted his brows and repeated.

“Stop fighting immediately!”

Along with the arrival of the Battle Angels, the crowd no longer had the intention to continue their battle. Shortly after, the soldiers and guards swiftly separated themselves to two sides of the plaza. Both sides gazed worriedly at the Battle Angels. After all, the Battle Angels were low-profile and wouldn’t intervene with any situations. Besides, there weren’t a lot of them left in the Country of Light, which was why they seldom showed up. But with their appearance here, everyone felt that something was off with the situation.

The parliament members standing by the windows watched tensely. They knew who had the authority to mobilize the Battle Angels. Could it be that…

As though confirming their greatest fears, a petite figure sauntered out of the group of angels and went up the platform.

“I was still feeling hopeful when Big Sister Sonia reported the situation to me. But Chairman Nakvard, is this the way your parliament handles the situation?”

Lilian puckered her brows and asked the pale, solemn man standing before her.
