They are already down to the last eleven people. This demon boy seems to have already calculate the exact number, he only kill five people every minute he moves closer, not a person more not a person less, and now that they are eleven people remaining it means they only have three more minutes to all live.
And it's seems all the other has realized the pattern of killing of their killer, and now they are consumed by the thought of who the next five will be, and with this demon, you can never know, whether you attack him or not he will kill to complete his five kill.
Is it a ritual or something?
They all wonder the same thing but the count down to the next minute do not give them the head space to go in depth of what this demon killing five people at every minute is all about.
[Only eight second to the next minutes, l need to move to the back of these idiots to avoid this demon].
But why attack in such grand style? What is he trying to accomplish?
A single person taking on the entire royal guard and every other agent that provide security to this city? What about The King and his aides too? If the demon is part of that so called Yanci than it seems the Yanci are more stupid than they seem.
Or are the just trying to cause panic in the heart of the public??
But then again is that demon not holding the King's spear head all this while? If they have someone stronger than the King's spear than it seems they are the stupid ones to take the Yanci lightly.
{Then again who am l to question anybody of the why, the when, the where or the how others do the things they do, am not in the position to be asking those kind of questions, am only to guard this gate and report any anomalies to my commander, but then that fool had to get himself kill first} the second in command lament is fate at this point.
Facing death, you intentionally put yourself and live at the front, all in name of duty and then realizing you are powerless to do anything to stop it, is truly an awful experience.
[Why do my mother had to die, she did nothing wrong, any faithful child is meant to investigate the cause of his or her parent's death and then punish every single one involved].
While the soldiers dispel the choice of career, their killer was not even present of mind, his action were nothing more than muscle memories and barely minimum of alertness.
"Oh they finally decided to show up, that's quicker than l thought, well that is good also, it make things easier for me, hopefully they have someone among them who can get in touch with who l want" William said as he finally look up and look pass the soldiers shivering in their shoes.
His aura suddenly changes as he felt two powerful present among those coming, the presences are both not as powerful as Spears own but he knows that a good teamwork between season soldiers is quite a dangerous one.
Never underestimate your opponent is one of the discipline Eloise beat into him.
"Should l kill these ones to focus on the new ones" William contemplate options "No need for needless killing, as long as they stayed out of my way than they will be fine and if they are foolish enough to attack than judgement will be pass on them too" William finally decided after forty second of debating within himself.
[Why is the demon not attacking again and he has stop coming close, what is going on here, well we better get farther away from him] the second in command say to himself.
"Move back at a unit, move back as a unit" he said, fear or no fear, these soldiers are still among the best the royal capital city have to offer, so their moving back with him with not so hurried steps without turning their backs to William.
"Reinforcements are here" one of the soldier at the back of the remaining soldiers sudden said almost two minutes after William notice the incoming reinforcements.
"We are saved" the remaining soldiers all exhaled the breath they did not even know they were holding.
"Do you know which part of the army is coming" the second in command quickly asked because he want to know whether they are truly saved or if they are still doomed.
Knowing which part of the army answered the call first will help them know whether it is a strong platform that answer or if they are weaker than those stationed here or at the same strength.
He hopes to whichever God that can hear him that whichever part of the army that answer should at least have persons who are stronger but then again, this demon killed the King's spear one of the king strongest protestors.
Well if they are all able to work together may, just maybe they can be able to detain this demon.
Now the question is who except the other king's protestors can actually fight this demon? He wondered.
As the remaining soldiers move back from their supposed demon toward the reinforcement, they finally are able to see which part of the army that has answered the call for aid.
"Yesss we are saved" the all chorus as they all immediately relax and lower their guard, the acting commander quickly run toward them to give a full report of what is going on here.
This party coming as their reinforcement is known as the "Red Grave" with just fifty members and one leader, they are publicly acknowledged as the strongest combatants after the king's protesters themselves, and that is said to be there individual's strength.
There is a rumor going around that when they combine their strength they can battle two of the king's protestor at the same time with zero casualties whether this is the truth or not, still remains a rumor but what has been confirmed is that the leader of the Red Grave is just as strong as a king's protestor.
