Baron Cullen

The next morning.

After a simple breakfast, the brother and sister said goodbye to their father, Jocelyn, and went out.

Since she had gone out specifically to shop, and it was daytime, Karen agreed to Cecilia's request to walk.

However, before leaving home, he still carried the enchanted greatsword on his back as a precaution.

The brother and sister strolled leisurely toward the shopping street in the city.

The commercial street in the City of No Breath was bustling with people.

Cecilia looked at the shops on both sides of the street with great interest, going into almost every shop to take a look, and occasionally throwing out all sorts of strange and unusual questions.

Karen stayed by her sister's side, patiently answering her questions while buying the things her sister wanted.

Of course, he was also quietly being wary of his surroundings.

Even though it was daytime, he didn't completely relax.

Just as the brother and sister were about to cross the street into a shop across the street, four dark figures suddenly sprang up from the crowd from different directions like ghosts and attacked them directly!

They were dressed in ordinary civilian clothes, and each of them held a sharp dagger in their hand, the blade of which faintly emitted extraordinary energy!

First tier!

Karen's pupils contracted sharply as he instantly activated his mysterious runes and discerned the strength of the four individuals!

"Cecilia, hide behind me!"

He shouted and shoved his sister behind a nearby stall, drawing his greatsword from his back at the same time.

At the same time, the four men's attack was already upon him!

The two men aimed straight for Karen's vitals, but the other two suddenly bypassed him and attacked Cecilia instead!

At the critical moment, the extraordinary elements within Karen's body suddenly erupted, directly unleashing "War Roar"!

"roar!!!"

A roar filled with surging fighting spirit instantly spread out, directly stunning the four people and the surrounding pedestrians into standing still!

He held nothing back, using the buff from "War Roar" to unleash the second-tier combat skill he had mastered the previous night.

A brutal triple strike!

Chi Chi!

The greatsword, glowing red, instantly unleashed two consecutive red waves of energy, carrying an extremely violent aura as they rushed towards the two people who were in a daze!

The first blast of air instantly cleaved a hideous wound in the chests of the two men!

However, this sword strike also brought the two men back to their senses.

But just as they were enduring the pain and trying to circulate their extraordinary elements to resist, the second wave of energy tore apart their weapons and severed one of their arms!

"ah!!!"

Blood spurted out immediately, staining the nearby ground crimson!

The two men's energy immediately waned, and they fell to the ground, unable to resist.

However, Karen completely ignored the two men and turned around to unleash a third powerful sword strike!

laugh!

The incredibly powerful red energy wave, carrying an unstoppable momentum, caught up with the two people who were preparing to attack Cecilia in the blink of an eye!

"What?!"

One of them was clearly caught off guard by Karen's swift counterattack and hastily raised his dagger to try and block.

puff!

The next moment, a scene that would terrify everyone unfolded.

The terrifying and violent red energy wave passed right through the man's neck as easily as cutting tofu!

As blood gushed out, a headless corpse collapsed with a thud.

Completely lifeless!

"How can this be... Ughhh!!!"

The last remaining person was also extremely shocked when he saw the horrific death of his companion.

But before he could finish speaking, the red energy wave, like an unstoppable speeding chariot, pierced through his waist and slammed heavily onto the ground several meters away!

With a loud bang!

The ground cracked and rubble flew everywhere, and a gruesome gash nearly half a meter deep suddenly appeared on the street.

The last person stood still, his wide eyes filled with fear and despair.

The next moment, under the watchful eyes of many terrified people.

His waist was torn apart, and his upper and lower body were completely separated!

"Homicide... He killed someone!!!"

"That's terrifying! That...that young man actually...actually hacked those two people to death!"

"Yes! I saw it! I saw it with my own eyes... that person's head was sliced ​​off, and that person over there was even cut in half at the waist!"

In an instant, pedestrians on the street retreated nearly ten meters away, looking at Karen as if she were a ruthless killer!

Karen stood there quietly, still holding the greatsword that glowed red.

He saw the fear in everyone's eyes, the terror on their faces, and even the look of avoidance. For a moment, he felt a little dazed.

He just now actually slashed and killed two people in the street!

"Brother...brother! Are you alright?!"

Cecilia ran over and hugged Karen tightly, her pale face filled with concern and worry for her brother.

Just then, the sound of rapid hoofbeats and angry shouts came from afar on the street!

"Everyone, get out of the way!"

"The Knights have officially taken over this territory!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of knights in silver armor rushed over and immediately spread out to surround the brother and sister and the two wounded assassins.

The leading knight captain approached the group.

He first glanced at the two men who had lost an arm, then looked at the two gruesome corpses on the other side, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Finally, he looked at the brother and sister, his gaze especially fixed on Karen, and asked in a cold voice, "Lord Karen Waller, I am Jacob Lance, captain of the sixth squad of the Knights. May I ask what's going on here?"

Karen first calmed her sister down before briefly explaining the attack to the knight captain in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Jacob pondered for a moment.

He first examined the two men's condition and found that their severed arms were extremely intact, causing his pupils to shrink.

Then he examined the two gruesome corpses, his expression growing increasingly grave.

During this time, Karen kept her eyes on Jacob.

He was eager to see what judgment the Sixth Knight Squad leader, who had just arrived, would make.

"We have investigated the situation here!" Jacob said to the surrounding civilians. "According to our investigation, these four thugs have a grudge against Baron Karen Waller and attempted to commit violence in the street, violating Article 9 of the Imperial Law!"

While the Imperial Law does provide for self-defense, Baron Karen Waller's act of personally injuring and killing two people clearly constitutes premeditated murder under the guise of this provision to eliminate future troubles!

Therefore, I have determined that Baron Karen Waller has violated Article 21 of the Imperial Law!

Upon hearing this, Karen's heart sank.

He immediately realized that he had been set up.

A figure quickly flashed into his mind: Kevin Connor, the Grand Master of the Knights of Breathless City!

After clearly rejecting the other party's offer of recruitment at the Knights' headquarters yesterday, he knew that the other party would not give him a friendly look from then on, and might even deliberately trip him up.

He just didn't expect this obstacle to come so quickly!
