After the arrest order for the second prince was issued, people around him exclaimed. No matter how mature and prudent the vassals and nobles present were, no matter how well-informed the envoys from foreign lands were, and no matter how brave and fearless the guards were, they also heard the words.

Everything changes color one after another:

Count Noah Havia of Yanbi Port could not hide his shock, but he still tried his best to maintain his grace and live up to his family's reputation as the "Sun Shooting Bow". However, his sixteen-year-old eldest daughter beside him looked at Zhan En,

Covering your mouth with your hands, your face turns pale;

Earl of Chaoyanghua from Evergreen Island, Bruce Shukarder looked at the Duke and Prince with complex eyes, and at the same time called his entourage to ask something;

Earl Achison Lassia of the Marshland was livid, trembling all over, and mumbling incessantly. If his eldest son hadn't stopped him, he might have said something that was against the noble manners;

The Karabyan twins put away their folding fans and gathered together to discuss anxiously, but every time Kasha said a word, Qina shook her head seriously;

The captain of the Sea Wolf Ship Group had a ferocious look on his face. He roughly pushed his mistress away and pulled his first mate along with him. They discussed something angrily, constantly using the words "exit", "departure", "set sail" and other words;

Hassan, the chief envoy of the Tyron Trading State, turned his eyes. He rubbed his eyebrowless upper brow and looked at the determined Thales, his smile becoming more and more intriguing;

The vampire guest at the banquet, Councilor Yannick Hollier, waved the anxious servant to leave. He raised his head thoughtfully and looked at the other end of the crowd with sharp eyes - where the Li from the Kingdom of Night

·Corleone didn't say a word, just looked at the lonely bright moon in the sky.

In the chaos of flickering lights, only the old butler Ashford, who had seen the stormy waves, had a calm expression. He clasped Heeley's arm and stepped back, whispering something to prevent the emotional eldest lady from making a regrettable decision.

When something happened, the shabby-dressed Knight Cassian stopped in front of them and helped the old housekeeper protect his young lady.

People up and down the stands relayed messages, and soon the entire arena fell into chaos, even the Emerald Legion was no exception.

"Calm down! Calm down! Regroup!"

The Seychelles knight roared angrily, scolding his subordinates who were in chaos behind him and even their formation was somewhat loose.

"But sir," an officer carrying the Eternal Lamp bravely spoke, "but he said that it belongs to the king..."

Seychelles turned around and shouted:

"You didn't hear anything!"

The officer was a little dizzy from his yelling, and tightened the green helmet on his head: "Yes, of course, sir... but what should we do?"

"Keep your posts!" Seychelles shouted hoarsely.

"Captain, should we take action first," the second officer said, wary of the Star Lake Guards surrounding the prince, "in case they..."

"But they are all big shots from the royal capital..." Another officer was worried, "If we take action..."

"Then what if they attack us, won't we fight back?"

"Don't move without my order!" Seychelles tried his best to restrain his nervous and impulsive subordinates, and cast a look of help at Zhan En, "Don't forget where this is and who is paying you!"

But the tense and chaotic atmosphere affects more than just Emerald City locals.

Miranda, who was on the front line, cast a surprised and confused look at Thales. Rolf stared at the rows of cuckold soldiers in front of him, with a ruthless look on his face and his knees slightly bent. Fortunately, Glover had expected it.

Grabbing his shoulders, he stopped the mute from doing anything impulsive.

"It's strange, look at the reaction of this group of cuckolds," D.D., one of the Star Lake Guards, felt uneasy as he felt the waves surging from all directions, "it feels like we have surrounded them."

"Your feeling is correct," Paul said solemnly, looking at the prince's calm back, thoughtfully.

"Your Highness."

Wyatt Castle came behind Thales and repeated the prince's order in disbelief:

"I'm sorry to have to confirm it again, but... you want us to arrest Duke Zhan? Here? Now?"

He looked ahead:

Behind Zhann stood at least two teams of well-equipped Jade Sergeants. They were well-trained. Although they were inevitably confused and frightened, they still stood close together and were ready to rush forward to protect the Duke at any time.

Huaiya turned around again:

Unknowingly, Jade Sergeants in green armor had already surrounded them amidst the urging of their superiors, separated them from other people, lined up in a tight formation, and Thales and the Star Lake Guards behind him were like a sea of ​​​​people.

An isolated island, withstanding waves from all directions.

Further afield, cuckolds were piled up in almost every corner from the stands to the passages. There were archers equipped with crossbows at high places, and even more impressive cavalry on tall horses were cruising around. They scolded the spectators.

The crowd simultaneously cast unfamiliar and wary glances at the Star Lake Guards.

At the front of the team, Thales did not answer Huaiya, nor did he express his dissatisfaction with the attendant's delay in ordering.

He just stared at Zhan opposite him wholeheartedly.

The Duke of Nan'an also looked back at him coldly.

"Everyone, stay still and calm down," Glover whispered, always paying attention to the chaotic crowd around him, gritting his teeth and tensing his nerves, "From now on, I will take over the command."

"But His Highness has said that he wants us to arrest the suspect," Niexi looked eagerly at the Duke of Nan'an opposite, unsheathing his sword, "How about we..."

D.D's expression changed and he grabbed his hand: "No!"

Opposite them, a sharp-eyed officer saw Nixi's movements and shouted in fright:

"They're going to take action!"

His reaction alarmed other colleagues, panic and hostility spread instantly, and the formation of the Emerald Legion fluctuated like a wave:

"defense!"

"Legion, protect the Duke!"

"Do we really want to do it?"

"Stand firm! Hold the front!"

"That's the king's son..."

"Self-defense doesn't count as treason, right?"

"Push them back!"

For a time, there were endless shouts of orders, arguments, screams, shouts of death, and even the sound of weapons being unsheathed, and the audience in the distance also screamed in surprise.

Everyone in the Star Lake Guards was shocked and formed a back-to-back formation. Facing the restless soldiers around them, they followed Huaiya and slowly approached the prince.

Thales frowned.

"I said hold on!"

Glover gritted his teeth, but he had no time to pursue Nixi's behavior, even though the latter had been stunned by the surging waves from all directions.

"Oops, everyone is holding onto their weapons and is scared and nervous," Miranda said solemnly, "There is no time easier than this to blow up the camp."

"Sunset, I would rather go to the Fuxing Palace again..." D.D held Niexi down and looked at the crowded Emerald Army, feeling a headache.

"real?"

"Then it's okay to talk about it..."

"Sunset, we shouldn't divide our troops," facing the dark enemy in his sight, Niexi reacted, and the hand holding the sword hilt trembled slightly, "We should..."

"There are thousands of them, not counting the more peripheral armies. It will be useless if we all have them together." Morgan said disdainfully.

"It's not just a question of how many people there are."

In the procession, Paul's eyes focused on the prince and the duke.

"His Highness said, in the 'name of the king'..."

All the guards were stunned.

"If we start a conflict with the Emerald Legion at this time, resulting in bloodshed and casualties, it will be far more than just a grudge between His Highness and the Duke..." Paul said solemnly, "The sparks created when we swing our swords may ignite the entire kingdom.

"

After everyone heard this, they suddenly felt their steps were extremely heavy. They looked at the hilt of their swords and looked pale.

"So, who will wield this first sword that will go down in history?" Paul turned around and looked at everyone in the team, "How are you, D.D?"

Doyle swallowed his throat, released the hilt of his sword, and showed a gentle and humble smile.

"But the good news is," Miranda nodded, staring at the Seychelles knight who was shouting orders opposite her, "they don't dare either."

"Quiet!"

At this moment, Zhan En's voice rang out from the crowd, loud and high-pitched.

"Hold on! Back off!"

"Put your weapons away!"

"Are you in a hurry to die!"

"Stand your position!"

Led by Seychelles, the officers who were close to him reacted one after another, and the Duke's order was conveyed layer by layer. After a few seconds, the restless crowd retreated under the scolding and restraint, and the noisy scene finally became quiet.

No one dared to get closer than three meters around the prince and duke, but the Star Lake Guards and Emerald Legion behind them naturally faced each other, looking for potential threats and possible opponents.

The two sides faced each other from a distance, and their differences became increasingly clear. Everyone's heart was in their throats.

Zhan was seen taking a deep breath and looking at Thales.

"You're not going to pretend anymore, are you?"
