The people advanced towards the Royal Guards, and with each step they took, the Royal Guards retreated.
The Royal Guards commander couldn’t bear it any longer. He drew the long sword from his waist and was about to strike the people on the head.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow came piercing through the air with a whoosh, hitting him right in the chest.
“Commander?” The Royal Guards behind him were stunned, watching as the commander’s body shook violently on horseback.
He looked down at the half of the arrow shaft protruding from his chest, and blood gushed out.
The next moment, he fell headfirst from his horse and crashed heavily onto the bluestone slab.
A deathly silence spread through the crowd for a moment, followed by an earth–shattering exclamation.
Everyone’s eyes turned to the direction from which the cold arrow was shot.
On the roof of the Bladehaven Hall, a figure in silver armor stood on the corner of the eaves, his right hand still in the posture of drawing a bow, and his left hand held a quiver with half a dozen fletched arrows.

These words were like a thunderbolt, splitting the last psychological defense of the Royal Guards.
A young soldier dropped his spear with a clang and knelt on the ground, “I am willing to surrender!”
With the first, there was a second. In the blink of an eye, half of the Royal Guards threw down their weapons and lowered their heads, not daring to look at their companions.
The remaining die–hards still wanted to resist, but Michael did not give them a chance and said in a cold voice, “Those who resist stubbornly will be killed without mercy.”
