“Just think about it this way. We’ve also contributed in the Northern Demon’s death!”
“Yeah. Someone has to claim the glory of slaying the Northern Demon anyway, right? Why can’t that be us?”
“Agreed. We just have to get rid of all those who are privy to the truth. Then, we’re all set.”
Eastern Beast’s eyes glinted coldly.
At the Ether, the Northern Demon’s men felt powerless after watching their leader fall.
Thus, they surrendered one after another.
“Take these prisoners away!”
Most of them had just witnessed the demise of the Northern Demon, so they were still in shock.
“I can’t believe Erudia possessed such a strong fighter.”
All of them bewailed.
“Calling over the disciples of the Five Dragons of Erudia proved fruitful. They are indeed the Northern Demon’s
nemesis!” Winsor replied subconsciously.
The Northern Demon’s men were momentarily stunned.
What does this have to do with the Four Basilisks?
Aren’t they deserters?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey even used the Suicide Squad as a shield while they ran for their lives.
It’s impossible that they were the ones who killed the Northern Demon!
“No, that’s not-”
Some of the men were about to refute when the Four Basilisks arrived at the scene.
By then, the Northern Demon’s men had already figured out that the Four Basilisks had taken the credit for
something they had no part in.
They are shameless!
After casting a cursory glance at the prisoners of war, Eastern Beast questioned coldly, “What are you doing?”
“They’ve surrendered and are now our prisoners, so we’re taking them away,” Minka answered.
“No. Kill them! All of them!”
Eastern Beast’s eyes flashed menacingly.
“What? Kill them? No!” Minka immediately refused.
“They are the Northern Demon’s underlings; a bunch of brutal, bloodthirsty psychopaths! What if they’re faking a
surrender and attack when we’re least expecting it? Do you know how big of a loss that would cause?” Southern
Warrior questioned.
“Well…” Minka was lost for words.
What he said isn’t completely impossible.
But Erudia doesn’t kill prisoners.
“We should still bring them back before making a decision. After all, this is a matter of our country’s reputation!”
However, Eastern Beast and the other two strongly opposed. “No. We must kill them! If you won’t, we will!”
Swoosh!
Except for Western Monk, three of the Four Basilisks immediately shot forward and began slaughtering the
unarmed prisoners.
Before the prisoners could register what was going on, half of them were already dead.
“They must be afraid that we’d reveal the truth. That’s why they want to silence us permanently!”
The Northern Demon’s men instantly understood.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
They were no match for three of the Four Basilisks.
Soon, all of the prisoners were killed in cold blood.
“Phew!”
They released a sigh of relief now that they made sure everyone who knew the truth was dead.
Thus, no one would doubt that they were the ones who got rid of the Northern Demon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEastern Beast came over to pat Western Monk’s shoulder. “Sometimes you have to be merciless for the sake of the
bigger picture!”
Western Monk stared at everything before him in consternation.
But isn’t this too much?
They massacred all the prisoners in order to conceal the truth.
Even Minka and Winsor were nonplussed.
This was the first time they witnessed someone massacring prisoners of war who had surrendered.
Most importantly, the Four Basilisks were merely common citizens, so no one could do anything about it as they
weren’t bound by any rules.
The Four Basilisks were truly insane.
Many people started to smell something fishy.
But they just couldn’t put their finger on what it was.
“It is necessary to use extreme methods to deal with enemies like them, or we’ll be the ones who lose out in the
end. Besides, we did this for the greater good of Erudia!”
“We will take whatever punishment you give us!”
The three Basilisks even feigned loyalty, expressing their willingness to do anything for the sake of Erudia.
