The gunfire didn't stop; it just shifted.
The soldiers who had decided to defect needed a gift to prove their sincerity.
Surt and his Personal Guard were the perfect gift.
Surt was already dead, and now it was his guard's turn.
Although many soldiers in the Personal Guard didn't lose their bottom line at critical moments and, out of conscience, chose to raise their guns by ten centimeters, giving the Jin Yuan Kingdom a chance, giving Alina a chance.
But this was precisely the cause of their death.
Having the qualification to take sides is a privilege beyond the reach of ordinary people.
They were Surt's Personal Guard, already marked with a distinctive imprint; this little bit of goodwill wouldn't change anything.
If Alina could control the situation, she might have spared them generously, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
She knew these defectors needed an outlet for their emotions.
They even killed Surt, so naturally, there was no reason to spare his guard.
