Chapter 323: A Complete Defeat, Letting You Die Understanding
More than a dozen to one!
This scene! It was somewhat similar to the scene where Fergus Archer accidentally fell into a trap at Prince Adam’s residence and was besieged by practitioners in the Complete Realm under Roscoe’s command!
The difference was! Fergus Archer, after all, was a top practitioner who had almost stepped into the Bright Realm. Facing practitioners of the Complete Realm, he inherently had the power to fight against the odds. Coupled with his nearly terrifying defensive ability, he barely managed to resist!
Ironically! Ashby, whether in terms of realm strength or defensive power, was far inferior to Fergus Archer!
So! The result was predictable!
Boom!
The next moment, accompanied by the explosive sound of the collision of dark energy, Ashby’s face turned pale as paper. He only felt the surging dark energy all around him, with the wind running rampant!
He was trapped in the middle! Even breathing became extremely difficult, his body felt like it was under intense pressure. The blood in his body was boiling, as if it was about to burst all his blood vessels! His internal organs were churning endlessly! The fine clothes he wore were torn apart by the wind as sharp as a blade, accompanied by the sound of tearing, becoming small pieces of cloth flying everywhere!
His entire body! Instantly turned into a smooth, bare radish!!!
“Spare his life!”
On the other side, Sean noticed the situation here. He wanted to cut off Ashby’s head himself, naturally, he couldn’t let Maclean Lyons, Gloydius, and the others steal his thunder!
So! After one punch, Maclean Lyons, Gloydius and the others withdrew one after another, stopping their attack!
In fact! Even if Sean hadn’t spoken, they wouldn’t have really killed Ashby. Otherwise, just this joint strike alone would have been enough to blast Ashby into a corpse, dead beyond death!
As for the reason… it’s simple!
Having Sean personally execute Ashby was also one of the tasks assigned by King Ron and Lilies Archer!
Thump!
When the wind dissipated, Ashby’s bare body was no longer white, but covered in wounds from head to toe, bloody all over. A mouthful of turbid blood sprayed out from his mouth!
Then! He fell into the crowd with a thud, his body feeling like it had lost its structure, unable to muster any strength, let alone continue to fight. He didn’t even have the ability to stand up!
This! This is the difference between Ashby and Fergus Archer!
This! This is the huge gap between a practitioner in the Complete stage and a half-step Bright Realm practitioner!
The same situation! Completely different outcomes!!!
He, a dignified prince, was destined to die, but fell into a trap set by others. His clothes were blasted to pieces, and he was to die in this almost humiliating manner!
At this moment, Ashby’s heart was bleeding!!!
He had lost! He was utterly defeated!
The heavens seemed to have played a colossal joke on him. Only a few minutes ago, he was confident, believing his plan to strangle Sean was a surefire success. However, in a matter of mere minutes, the situation reversed, the world turned upside down! The person destined to die became him!
Ashby lay on the ground, gasping heavily, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, staring intently at Maclean Lyons and Gloydius, who stood around him. He gritted his teeth and said, “Bastards! Traitors! You are all traitors!”
Although his voice was weak, it was as cold as ice, piercing to the bone. “I have my father’s secret order on me. If you dare to conspire against me with Sean, it will be treason!”
“My father… he will never let you go! Wait for it! You all wait for it! If I die today, you won’t live either, not one of you!”
Even now, Ashby couldn’t fathom, truly couldn’t understand why Maclean Lyons and Gloydius would betray him, a crown prince, to side with Sean.
“Is that so?” Looking down at Ashby, the look in Maclean Lyons’ eyes was devoid of the previous deference, instead, it was as if he was looking at a dead dog. He laughed coldly, “I always thought the crown prince’s brain wasn’t very good, a fool!”
“Now it seems, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you have not disappointed me. Your stupidity is far greater than I thought! Hahaha…”
Having the chance to trample the crown prince underfoot and freely torment him was a rare opportunity that might only come once in a lifetime. Maclean Lyons wouldn’t miss it, his laughter was triumphant and wild.
After laughing for a while, Maclean Lyons continued, “Your Highness the Crown Prince is about to die, I’m in a good mood, I might as well show some mercy and let you die knowing the truth.”
“Actually, long before you and General Mason arrived at Fort South, I had already received the emperor’s secret order. The content of the order was to assist General Mason in executing you, the rebellious Crown Prince who attempted to usurp the throne.”
“So, Your Highness the Crown Prince, don’t misunderstand, don’t falsely accuse me, I’m just executing the emperor’s order! You are the real traitor, a traitor that everyone should punish. My assistance to General Mason in killing you is not only guiltless but a great contribution!”
After these words, Maclean Lyons’ speech was impassioned. The feeling of manipulating others, especially the crown prince, in the palm of his hand was simply too damn satisfying!
Upon hearing this, Ashby’s slightly better complexion turned even worse. Unable to hold back, he spewed a mouthful of turbid blood. “You’re talking nonsense! You’re spouting utter nonsense!”
Such words, Maclean Lyons dared to say, but Ashby dared not believe. He gritted his teeth and said, “The emperor is my father, my biological father! It’s impossible! He would never let you traitors kill me, if he wanted to kill me, he would issue the decree himself!”
When uttering these words, Ashby suddenly recalled the moments before he came to Fort South, when he went to the Imperial City to apologize, kneeling outside the door of the Hall of Throne. He remembered the words his father, King Ron, said to him!© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
King Ron had told him to kill Sean, to redeem himself by bearing the guilt.
King Ron had told him to replace Fergus Archer and forever guard Fort South.
King Ron had said that the bond between father and son was severed, they would not meet again in this life!
At that time, Ashby was deeply moved, shedding tears of grief. Deep within, he even had a hint of regret for secretly colluding with Fergus Archer to seize the supreme position!
And now! The words of Maclean Lyons were like a slap in his face!
“Do you not believe me, Your Highness the Crown Prince?” Maclean Lyons laughed, “No matter, the emperor’s secret order also says that once you’re dead, and the chaos in Fort South is settled, this great merit will be attributed to you!”
“In my report, I will describe you as a brave warrior who died for the country, a great hero, making your death glorious, and justifiable. Even in death, you will be admired by the world!”
“So, in my opinion, His Majesty is kind-hearted and benevolent, treating you quite well…”
Each word, each sentence, fell into Ashby’s ears. The feeling of heartache was even more painful than being cut with a knife or burnt with fire!
King Ron!
Benevolent???
Applying this word to his father, King Ron, Ashby now felt that it was nothing more than a big joke!
At this moment, after Sean had killed all those old men in a perfect state, he was slowly walking towards Ashby with Wolf’s Massacre in hand!
