Chapter 85 - Chapter 82: the fear followed by the name

The person wearing the black robe was naturally Jack's group, a total of four people, who were ordered by Jason to come and inform Yatri.

These black robes were a thank-you gift made by the villagers overnight when Jason helped a village fend off bandits on his way.

Jack and the others did not expect to see this scene when they arrived at the gate of the castle.

Perhaps they didn't know the specifics of what happened, but seeing soldiers bullying a poor father and daughter in such a way, they could not sit idly by with conscience and acted immediately.

"Originally, I just heard that this territory has a bad attitude towards demihumans. I didn't expect it to be worse than imagined. Let's go!"

Jack said here, the whole person had rushed to throw.

"Damn, enemy attack!"

Seeing them rushing up, the soldiers shouted hurriedly, ignoring the wounds on their hands.

"Wow! Woah!"

On the city wall above, a few monsters with long black hair and a wolf-like appearance also appeared.

They are magical beasts used by captivity for security. They have unique vocal organs on their backs. When they call, the loud and clear voices immediately reach the ears of everyone around them.

"It's loud enough."

Jack muttered as he had already come in front of a soldier. Without any hesitation, he attacked directly.

With his current strength, the soldier saw a dagger getting closer and closer before he could react.

Puff~~~

Undoubtedly, the short knife slit the soldier's throat, and silver blood spurted out.

The soldier who had just trampled the bread to pieces never thought that he would die here. He covered his neck with his hands desperately, but he couldn't stop the blood gushing out.

When Jack attacked, the others also directly killed the remaining three soldiers.

Clean and neat, lethal with one blow, completely following Jason's teachings.

"Don't move, I have some medicine here. I will bandage it for you first."

Jack didn't even look at the dead soldiers, squatted in front of the demihuman, took out some medicine, and began to bandage him.

"Thank you, but let's go. You killed these soldiers; the lord here will not let you go. If you can, please take my daughter and escape here together. Although this request is very excessive, I really have no other way to protect my daughter."

After the demihuman glanced at his daughter affectionately, he said kindly to Jack.

Because he knew too well what would happen if he offended Yatri, even if Jack and the others had good skills.

"Daddy, I don't want to leave you."

The little girl threw herself on the demihuman, tears in her eyes.

Even though she was still young, she understood what was going to happen next. She might be taken away by Jack and the others, and she would never see her father again.

"Don't worry, we won't take you away."

Jack gently touched the little girl's head, then turned around and gave some dry food to the demihuman, saying: "I still have some food here. If you still have a little strength, take her away first. There should be a fierce battle next."

"You..."

The demihuman looked at the dry food in his hand, and tears glistened in his eyes as he said with some pain, "I have harmed you."

The demihuman felt remorseful. If he hadn't begged Yatri today, he wouldn't have lost his right hand, and he wouldn't have been embarrassed by those soldiers, and Jack and the others wouldn't have helped him, so they wouldn't have confronted Yatri and faced death.

"No...you didn't harm us. Anyway, don't worry; the lords here don't dare to do anything to us because, ah...we are followers of Lord Shield Hero."

Jack lifted the hood on his head, showing that reassuring smile.

"Lord Shield Hero?"

"That's right, Lord Shield Hero will be here soon. You take your daughter and go first. The alarm has already sounded, their support should be here, and we won't be able to protect you by then."

As soon as Jack finished speaking, a group of heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the gate of the castle. The number seemed to be around 100.

"How dare you cause trouble in my territory, what nerve, arrest them all."

The person standing among the soldiers was Yatri, and he was extremely angry now. With a big wave of his hand, hundreds of soldiers around him rushed up immediately.

"Come on, let's make a fuss before Lord Shield Hero arrives!"

Without fear, Jack and the others lined up to meet the hundreds of soldiers rushing forward.

All of a sudden, soldiers clashed with each other, and the crisp sound of weapons clashing continued to resound.

As soon as Jack rushed into the hundreds of soldiers, he was like a snake, constantly moving around, dodging or blocking the soldiers' attacks again and again, making them return without success.

But as long as he made a move, it meant taking the life of a soldier.

The same went for the other three people.

In the eyes of those soldiers, Jack and the others were like slippery loaches that couldn't be caught.

The combat experience of Jack and the others had already transformed from what it used to be.

Especially after fighting those adventurers, they fully understood how to defeat the strong with the weak and win against the many with the few.

Yatri, who was standing behind, watched his soldiers fall one after another, while none of Jack and the others were injured, and he couldn't help frowning.

"Where did these guys come from, and why are they all so strong?"

Yatri muttered, and at the same time understood that if this continued, even though his soldiers had the advantage in numbers, they would still be killed by Jack.

So, he took a few steps forward, pulled out the long whip from his waist, and aimed at the right moment to strike.

The long whip was like a dragon, and it lashed toward Jack at an extremely tricky angle.

It had to be said that even though Yatri seemed like a lazy and extremely cruel lord, he still possessed some skills, especially when using sneak attacks.

Jack was caught off guard and was struck from behind on the spot.

It couldn't be his fault; who would have thought that Yatri, who was full of fat and didn't seem to exercise much, could have such skill?

It wasn't just the whip's impact that was troublesome; it was the curse effect attached to it.

Jack immediately felt a burning pain and a searing sensation on his back, causing him to pause. In that moment, the surrounding soldiers rushed in and pressed their long swords against Jack's neck.

"If you don't want him dead, drop all your weapons."

Yatri showed a ferocious smile. He had aimed at Jack because he could tell Jack was the leader of the group.

The others glanced at Jack, secretly cursing Yatri's cunning, but they had no choice but to slowly put down their weapons.

The moment they surrendered their weapons, the soldiers, of course, surrounded them, pressing their weapons against their necks as well.

"Tell me, who are you guys? With your skills, you are definitely not ordinary people."

Yatri stepped forward arrogantly, stopping in front of Jack and asking condescendingly.

"It doesn't matter if I tell you; we are just followers of Lord Shield Hero."

As soon as Jack mentioned the "Shield Hero," Yatri's expression changed drastically. His face paled, and even the hand holding the whip trembled unconsciously.
