"War Marshal Bai, this is nothing short of tyranny!" Gu Chen muttered, tightening his fists until his knuckles turned white. "I will not let you kill Commander Arthur, even if I have to sacrifice my life protecting him."
"We will protect Commander Arthur!" Jiang Yichen and Bai Qingxian also declared. Even though the fear of standing against a Demi-God as mere True Sages was clear on their faces, they were still willing to stand for Maximilian.
"Impudence!" Bai Chengsheng shouted, descending a crushing pressure upon all three of them.
Both Jiang Yichen and Bai Qingxian were instantly slammed down, while Gu Chen barely managed to remain on his knees by using his spear for support.
"I-I will not let you kill Commander Arthur..." Gu Chen muttered, struggling to stand against the Demi-God. Blood splattered from his mouth with the slightest movement.
