No one stopped them from entering the fortress – in fact the gate was opened for them when they approached it.
Just like Tharion predicted, Arthur was waiting for them on the central plaza, along with the seven remaining members of the round table.
"The traitors came back." Arthur hissed as he pointed his sword at them. "Beg for your lives and I may kill you quickly-"
"The seven of you have one chance to surrender." Tharion completely ignored him and addressed the others. "Walk away and your lives will be spared."
Arthur looked like he was about to explode.
"YOU DARE TO MOCK ME BASTARD!? I WILL CHOP OFF ALL YOUR LIMBS AND MAKE YOU WATCH AS I SLAUGHTER THE OTHERS!"
Tharion ignored him again and instead observed the remaining seven knights – none of them moved to retreat.
"Let it be so – may you find forgiveness in death."
Arthur screamed and rushed at Tharion, fully intending to hack him to pieces for the disrespect he displayed.
