Chapter 454: We Shall Both Perish, I Want Your Head
Knox had never imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that he would put everything on the line to defend Lord Snow, only to have Lord Snow himself readily admit it without any hesitation!
Lord Snow was a spy for the North Kingdom? A traitor to the Shirine Empire?C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Damn it!
A chill rushed straight from Knox’s feet up to his forehead, giving him the feeling of falling into an icy pit. Looking back at the luxury car Sean was in, he instinctively retreated and stood ten meters away from the car!
His face was ashen. His heart thundered. This was a complete disaster!
Knox had ventured alone, originally intending to follow Lord Snow and raid the camp, to carry out a decapitation operation. But now, he stood alone, with the turned Lord Snow and others in front of him, Lucifer Carter and other North Kingdom generals and dark energy soldiers behind him. And he was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of North Kingdom troops. Knox, the supreme commander of the Shirine Empire’s three armies, the lone hero who had ventured deep into enemy territory, had in an instant become isolated, trapped in an encirclement attack from all sides, with no way out!!
This was certain death, with no chance of survival! Knox did not fear death and was prepared to die a heroic death. But before this, he had imagined thousands of ways he might die, yet never thought he would die such a stupid death!!!
“Lord Snow, sir! You, you…” Keeping his eyes fixed on the luxury car Sean was in, Knox still could not fully believe Lord Snow’s betrayal. A shred of fantasy still remained in his heart. Gritting his teeth and glaring, he asked in a trembling voice, “What did you just say? Say it again???”
Knox even suspected something was wrong with his own ears!
He had misheard!
Snap! The answer to Knox’s question was not from “Lord Snow,” but a soft click. Accompanying the soft click, the door of one luxury car opened and three people emerged!
The leader was none other than Sean, disguised as Lord Snow, dressed in white with white hair, extraordinary temperament, looking transcendent.
Following behind Sean were Karen Smith and the old monk.
Snap! Came another soft click. The door of the other luxury car also opened, and three figures in white dresses gracefully stepped out of the car and came to stand behind Sean. They were the three white-clad soldiers who had successfully infiltrated near the Bright Realm!
Six people in a row!
Seeing this lineup, Knox was stunned for a moment. Lucifer Carter was stunned. The North Kingdom generals, dark energy soldiers, and surrounding North Kingdom troops were all stunned for a moment!
Women???
Clearly, apart from Knox, the others had the same expression and attitude as Knox had when he first saw those white-clad women, not taking those three white-clad soldiers seriously at all!
“General Knox!”
After getting out of the car, Sean looked up at Knox and met his gaze. In a deep voice, he said, “If you lay down your spear now and surrender, perhaps there is still a chance you may live!”
Surrender! Sean was asking Knox to surrender!
The reason was simple. Sean knew Lucifer Carter was waiting, waiting for the other Complete Stage generals to come support him, then catch them all like fish in a barrel. And Sean was also waiting, waiting for the rest of the Complete Stage generals to gather, then take them all out in one fell swoop!
Therefore, since he was impersonating Lord Snow, Sean naturally had to pretend to chat with Knox for a while in Lord Snow’s traitor identity, reasonably passing the time!
And Sean’s persuasion made Knox’s heart sink to the bottom, abandoning his last shred of fantasy. He spat on the ground in front of him and cursed on the spot, “You traitor! Damn you! You want me to surrender? I’ll surrender only if you kneel down and kowtow to me!”
“Damned fake Lord Snow!”
“Shirine Empire traitor!”
“Even if I die today, I’m taking you down with me!!!”
Whoosh! The moment Knox’s voice landed, he brandished the two-meter long spear in his hand and leapt up, charging at Sean without any hesitation or delay.
Having guarded the northern border for five years, Sean was deeply aware that for soldiers, traitors were always more terrifying and hateful than enemies!
Therefore, under these circumstances, Knox’s suicidal attack to take “Lord Snow” down with him not only did not anger Sean, but filled him with appreciation!
However, while he appreciated it, since they were acting, Sean naturally would not let Knox do as he wished in the face of his attack!
So, “With your skill, you want to perish together with me?”
“Haha!”
“I’m afraid that won’t happen!”
As he spoke, Sean raised his right hand and suddenly grabbed and reached out. His movement seemed unhurried, yet was precise and unerring. The next moment, he had caught Knox’s fierce two-meter long spear with his bare hands!
Then, a strand of Bright Energy seeped into the spear, like an electric current instantly traveling to the other end. Knox’s expression changed drastically. He felt his hands holding the spear go numb and lose control. His whole body was blasted back by the scene, stumbling back five or six steps before he could steady himself!
Near the Bright Realm! In Knox’s eyes, and in Lucifer Carter’s eyes, Lord Snow had the strength of near the Bright Realm. So with just a casual strike, Sean concealed his true strength, neither scaring Lucifer Carter nor injuring Knox, achieving the best of both worlds!
Lucifer Carter watched all this happen with an expressionless face, not revealing any mood. But in his heart he couldn’t help sneering coldly: “Act! Keep acting for me! When you finish your performance, your time of death will arrive!”
Little did he know that in the brief few minutes of back and forth between Sean and Knox, over a dozen Complete Stage North Kingdom generals had already silently gathered behind Lucifer Carter from retreating back from Hill Riverside!
At this time, not counting the hundreds of dark energy soldiers below Complete Stage behind Lucifer Carter, just the North Kingdom generals who had reached Complete Stage had gathered a full twenty-one!
Lucifer Carter silently calculated in his heart: “I’ll handle Lord Snow at near Bright Realm myself. The rest of the five plus Knox will be besieged and slaughtered by these twenty-one. That should be a sure-win situation without any problems, right???”
“General Carter!” Sean naturally also noticed the returned North Kingdom generals. Twenty-three, almost all gathered. It should be time to take them all out! So he turned to look at Lucifer Carter, pointing at Knox, and smilingly gestured, “Does General Carter find the great gift I’ve brought satisfactory?”
Yes, great gift! If the person arriving was not Sean but the real Lord Snow, if Lord Snow was still a traitor, then leading Knox, the supreme commander of the Shirine Empire’s three armies, to throw himself into this trap, would indeed be a rare great gift!
It was precisely because the facts were otherwise!
Lucifer Carter’s expression turned cold, and he snorted, “Not enough!”
“Oh?” Sean raised his eyebrows and asked, “What more does General Carter want?”
Just then, two more North Kingdom generals arrived!
Twenty-three. Enough!
So…
“What do I want?” Lucifer Carter had it all planned out and no longer hesitated. He directly showed his hand, “I want Knox’s dog life!”
“And!”
“I want your hypocritical two-faced head!!!”
As he finished speaking, Lucifer Carter waved his hand grandly!
Instantly, the twenty-three Complete Stage North Kingdom generals behind him charged forward whoosh, whoosh, accompanied by piercing sounds of breaking the air. They directly rushed at Sean’s group and Knox, surrounding them in an instant!
The atmosphere was on a knife’s edge!
Battle was on the verge of breaking out!
Seeing this, Sean remained unperturbed. Knowing fully well, he still asked, “What is the meaning of this, General Carter?”
“Don’t understand?” Lucifer Carter gnashed his teeth and said, “You hypocritical two-faced dog, pretending to betray the Shirine Empire and surrender to the North Kingdom, but giving me fake troop deployments, trying to bury my North Kingdom’s million brave warriors at Hill Riverside!”
“Knox is an idiot. Do you think I’m an idiot like him too???”
His voice was like thunder, his rage bursting to the heavens!
Hearing this, Knox was stunned, dumbfounded, wrongly taking fire for no reason. Damn you all and your whole families for being idiots! But the scene before him, he truly could not comprehend…
Damn it! What exactly was going on here???
Betrayal? Fake betrayal?
Damn it, who should I believe, who should I help???
