Lord Protector Novel

“Of course not,” Zeke explained. “If my guess is correct, he will come tonight to kill all the prisoners.”

“By then, I’ll meet him personally and force him to use his Blade of Ares. If he doesn’t use it or use it the wrong way, that will prove that he’s an impersonator.”

Sole Wolf nodded. “Got it.”

The Cygnus Room’s temporary base was at an empty laboratory.

These prisoners had attempted to assassinate the Great Marshal and that was a capital offense, so they were subjected to strict surveillance.

It would be impossible for even a fly to enter the compound without alerting the guards.

Late that night, the prisoners had all fallen asleep.

However, the guards remained awake and vigilant.

They might be tired, but as this was their responsibility, they clenched their teeth and stayed on.

Luckily, not long after that, a new batch of guards arrived to take over.

It was a complicated process as many procedures were involved during the takeover. The entire takeover would take at least five minutes.

The guard who guarded the cell door took ten minutes to handover his shift.

Hence, he was the last in his shift to leave.

The person who took over his shift was none other than Ares.

The previous guard at the cell door went back to his room. He was totally exhausted.

He didn’t go to bed at once. Instead, he packed up his stuff to escape immediately.

In fact, he was the spy Ares arranged in Cygnus Room.

This time, as he had violated the rules by letting Ares in as a guard to the cell door, his identity would be revealed. Thus, he had no choice but to escape.

Yet when he was packing his stuff, a clear clap sounded in his room.

His mind went blank at once. Damn it, I didn’t even realize there is someone else in my room!

Swinging around abruptly, he demanded, “Who is it?”

A well-built man walked out from the corner he was hiding.

It was Sole Wolf, General North.

Sole Wolf held a cigarette in his hand as he grinned. “Well, I didn’t expect Ares would send someone to Cygnus Room. Cygnus Room is a national secret. Those who dare to interfere will be punished severely!”

He leapt towards the spy abruptly.

Meanwhile, Ares cast a murderous gaze at the prisoners within the cell at the cell door.

You are a bunch of incompetent idiots. You deserve to die!

He shook his hand slightly and a smoke bomb dropped out from his sleeve.

Right after he threw the smoke bomb into the cell, thick plumes of smoke filled the entire cell.

Ares yelled, “Help! Somebody, help! These prisoners had just caused a fire to escape! Hurry, open the door and save them!”

In order to open the door of the cell, ten guards must join hands and work together.

Ares planned to rush in and kill the prisoners amid the chaos when the minute the door was opened.
