Chapter 196

The ground before the palace lay entirely soaked in blood.
Palace soldiers and Dran’s private soldiers were strewn across the earth, becoming nothing more than meat in their deaths. They’d slit each other’s throats and plunged swords into their hearts.
It was a familiar scene. Eton observed the carnage silently from above.
“We’re close to victory!” Bern shouted to his soldiers.
Even as they bled, victory was assured for them. Victory was all that remained for Bern. Now, it was certain he’d restore everything to its rightful place! Madness flickered in his blue eyes.
“Kill them, kill them all!”
Mounted on his horse, Bern shouted loudly. At his side, Dran wore a sinister, satisfied smile, while Tuhik gripped his sword with quiet resolve.
“Hold the line, Tuhik! Charge as soon as the gate is breached!”
