Chapter 267: Surrender on the Spot
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The hall fell silent from what Timus had said. Harvey’s analysis made sense. Many people already saw Mike and Timus as spies. Plus, after they said that General Henry was dead. What did they mean by that? Did they admit that they were spies?
Mike and Timus did not realize that there was anything wrong with what they had said.
Meanwhile, King Harold’s expression turned extremely ugly.
“Where did the two of you come from!”
Hearing this, Mike had already sensed that something was wrong. After all, the tone of Harold’s voice had already indicated many problems.
Timus was slightly stunned, and subconsciously replied, “We are from the Ancient City of Life.”
At this moment, all the officials turned pale with fright. Many of them could not help but step back and keep their distance from Timus.
In their eyes, these two fellows were simply audacious!
Not only did they reveal the news of General Henry’s death, they even admitted that they were from the elven territory.
What was the difference between this and admitting that he was an elven spy?
The veins on Harold’s forehead were about to pop out from his skin. He could no longer suppress his anger. These two spies actually dared to directly admit their identities.
They were simply ignoring his authority!
He would never allow such a thing to happen.
“Capture the two of them!”
With the order from the king, the commander of the guards, Harvey, immediately rushed forward with his sword. Not only that, the guards outside the hall also rushed into the hall with their spears and charged towards Mike and Timus.
At this moment, the officials all stood back, afraid that they would be accidentally injured by the guards.
Timus, on the other hand, was filled with endless anger after a short moment of shock. Not only had he helped the human army kill the elven queen, but he had also even specially delivered this piece of good news to them. In the end, these guys had actually repaid their kindness with enmity!
With a personality like Timus, how could he tolerate such a thing?
He immediately drew out the Greatsword of Meredith and charged straight at Harvey.
“You think you can fight me with just a little soldier like you?!”
“You call me a little soldier? I’d like to see where you get your confidence from!”
The weapons in their hands collided, and it produced a piercing sound. To become the commander of the imperial guards, not only did he need to gain the trust of the king, but he also needed to be strong. Otherwise, he definitely did not have the qualifications to be in charge of the king’s safety.
However, in this short exchange, Harvey already felt exhausted.
Why is this guy so strong?!
How is this possible!
Surprise appeared in Harvey’s heart, and it became more and more intense due to Timus launching his fierce attacks!
One slash after another came, and it caused Harvey to be barely able to parry these attacks. It was impossible for him to counterattack.
Timus advanced step by step while Harvey could only retreat. The people in the hall were all shocked. As the commander of the Royal Guards, Harvey could not withstand the attack of this young man!
Who was this young man?!
This question appeared in the hearts of every official, and also in Harvey’s heart. Harvey’s forehead was already covered with sweat, and he kept retreating from the fierce attacks that came from Timus.
Although he did not have the extra energy to focus on other things, he still saw from the corner of his eye that the officers gradually appeared in his field of vision due to him retreating with faces full of worry.
This made Harvey even more anxious, but he still could not fight back. However, as he kept retreating, Harvey’s foot suddenly tripped. The sudden accident made him lose his balance and he staggered backward.
Bang!
Harvey’s body fell heavily to the ground, and Timus’ huge sword was already at his neck. Looking at the young man in front of him who had a cold expression and even a hint of contempt in his eyes, Harvey panted heavily, he dared not to move at all.
The tip of the sword on Harvey’s back made him understand that at this moment, he had tripped over the steps behind him. So, he had actually retreated from the middle of the hall to the front of the king… Harvey dared not look back.
One reason was that the huge sword on his neck could take his life at any time. The other reason was that he did not dare to look at the expression on King Harold’s face now.
That must be a very disappointed expression… Harvey slowly closed his eyes, his heart full of helplessness and regret.
He felt that he would lose his life in the next moment, and these two spies would never let him go. However, the voice of the guards came from the entrance of the hall.
“Stop, let go of leader Harvey! or I will kill him!”
Hearing this, Timus and Harvey were stunned. Then, they looked in the direction of the voice.
They saw a group of guards that surrounded Mike. Countless Spears were placed on every corner of Mike’s body.
Without a doubt, as long as Timus dared to do anything inappropriate, these spears would pierce through Mike’s body.
Looking at his helpless expression, Mike shrugged. He finally remembered what he had forgotten. The Sword of the King had been taken by Gilroy!
Without a weapon, his strength had weakened to the level of an ordinary person, so Mike naturally had no ability to resist.
Even if he wanted to counterattack, he did not have a weapon to complete the block. There was nothing he could do. He could only surrender on the spot. After all, saving his life was more important.
Seeing this scene, Timus helplessly moved the weapon in his hand away from Harvey’s neck. He looked at King Harold and said, “I feel that there might be some misunderstanding between us.”
King Harold only recovered from his shock after he heard Timus’ words. He had never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man in front of him would be able to so easily defeat Harvey, the commander of his Imperial guards.
At this moment, King Harold could not help but guess in his heart. This young man actually had such powerful strength. Could it be… That he was the one who killed General Henry?!
Thinking of this, cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of King Harold. If that was really the case, then this young man was definitely a rare talent!
Although he did not know why he would side with the elves, Harold now had to think of a way to rope him over to the human side of this war.
If he failed, it would not be too late to kill him… Thinking of this, his expression gradually calmed down. He asked tentatively, “Young man, General Henry…. How did he die?”
