Monk Overseer narrowed his eyes, gazing coldly at Alan.
"Whether what you say is true or not, the Church will investigate this to the end! In the Plantagenet Kingdom, no one defies the will of the Church without consequence," he sneered. "Your parents, your family—all will be destroyed! Do you think the Church has held power for so many years without iron-fisted resolve? Only through ruthless might will you lowly creatures learn to fear, to tremble, to know reverence!"
He gestured to the guards surrounding Alan. "All of you, kill them both and hang their bodies as a warning!"
With his command, the guards moved toward Alan.
"Do you really think you've got me cornered?" Alan scoffed.
The guards closing in were all tier-bronze mages, exuding a powerful presence that surpassed the light-armored knight Alan had just faced.
It was clear these were elite forces. But did they truly think they could take him down so easily?
