Jasper was startled and instinctively raised his arm to stop Willem's advance.

Despite his efforts, the vast power gap between them rendered Jasper helpless against Willem's relentless pressure. He could only watch in horror as Willem's fangs inched closer to his neck.

"Quick! Help the General!"

Some drew their bows, releasing a volley of arrows, while others advanced with spears raised, ready to strike.

The arrows were unleashed from bows. Each carried an explosive force as it rained down on Willem without mercy.
