The people advanced towards the Royal Guards, and with each step they took, the Royal Guards retreated.
The Royal Guards commander couldn’t bear it any longer. He drew the long sword from his waist and was about to strike the people on the head.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow came piercing through the air with a whoosh, hitting him right in the chest.
“Commander?” The Royal Guards behind him were stunned, watching as the commander’s body shook violently on horseback.
He looked down at the half of the arrow shaft protruding from his chest, and blood gushed out.
The next moment, he fell headfirst from his horse and crashed heavily onto the bluestone slab.
A deathly silence spread through the crowd for a moment, followed by an earth–shattering exclamation.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction from which the cold arrow was shot.
On the roof of the Bladehaven Hall, a figure in silver armor stood on the corner of the eaves, his right hand still in the posture of drawing a bow, and his left hand held a quiver with half a dozen fletched arrows.
“It’s General Osborne!” Someone recognized the silver armor, which was Michael’s armor.
The Osborne army all wore silver armor.
Michael slowly lowered his arm, and the vibration of the bowstring was especially clear in the noise.
His gaze swept over the panicked Royal Guards below, and he shouted in a cold voice, “Prince Xander has treated you well, and the King has never treated the Royal Guards unfairly. Do you really want to work for the rebels and end up beheaded p>
The Royal Guards looked at each other, and the hands holding the spears began to loosen.
But the expressions on their faces were blank, and they didn’t know what was happening at all.
All they knew was that they were subjects and should naturally obey the King’s orders.
Someone asked in confusion. “General Osborne, we are just here under orders and don’t know what happened p>
“Yes, who can tell me what happened p>
The Royal Guards were all confused and wanted to know the truth.
Michael said loudly to the crowd, “Fermin colluded with Ray to stage a coup and rebel. Prince Xander is now missing.
“Fermin wants to take this opportunity to massacre the Xander Manor. You were all subordinates of Prince

Xander. Do you want to repay kindness with revenge and help the wicked do evil p>

These words were like a thunderbolt, splitting the last psychological defense of the Royal Guards.
A young soldier dropped his spear with a clang and knelt on the ground, “I am willing to surrender p>
With the first, there was a second. In the blink of an eye, half of the Royal Guards threw down their weapons and lowered their heads, not daring to look at their companions.
The remaining die–hards still wanted to resist, but Michael did not give them a chance and said in a cold voice, “Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy p>
In the end, half of the three thousand Royal Guards submitted to Michael.
The rest retreated to the Imperial City.
Even so, Athena had a good chance of winning.
As long as she defended the Xander Manor and waited for Natasha to bring people to cooperate with her from the inside out, she could kill the Queen, cut off Fermin’s head, and rescue Arthur.
Michael finished counting the Royal Guards who had surrendered, exactly one thousand five hundred people.
They stood outside the door, waiting for Athena’s order.
“Divide them into three teams.” Athena stood on the steps, her eyes sweeping over these surrendered soldiers.
“One team will be stationed at the Bladehaven Hall with Deputy General, one team will follow General Osborne to strengthen the Xander Manor’s defense line, and the last team p>
She paused, and looked at the residential area blackened by fireworks in the corner of the street. “Go and help the people repair their houses and transport the wounded p>
Where there was fighting, there were casualties, and it was the common people who suffered.
The Royal Guards in the last team were obviously stunned, seemingly not expecting to be sent to do these things.
