The Legendary Man

Chapter 1296 Schemes

“D*mn, is it possible that the old man actually intends to eliminate his own people?” Hayden muttered with uncertainty.

The atmosphere in the small garden at this moment could be described as extremely eerie.

The death soldiers from the North Outer City governor's residence were surprisingly singled out as well, targeted one after another as if they had become the primary focus of the Black Armor Legion.

Kathleen, on high alert, regarded Hayden, who lay on the ground like a limp pile of mud, and inquired, “Can your venomous insects still exert control over others?”

At this moment, Hayden's spiritual energy and vitality had not yet recovered, making it impossible for him to muster even a shred of fighting strength. He was so weak that he couldn't even stand steadily.

If it weren't for Jonathan risking his life to pull Stellario out of Insect Sea, the latter would probably have been chopped into pieces by now.

Although these individuals each belonged to different factions and didn't particularly care for one another, they couldn't afford to play any tricks when faced with a common threat.

“I possess parasites capable of controlling corpses. You've all witnessed them on the Ascension Peak's square platform. However, the insects I'm releasing presently are not that type of parasite; they are highly toxic creatures. I believe Celestus is merely concocting an excuse. It's evidently another trap.”

No sooner had Stellario's words left his lips than sharp noises began to rend the air.

Joshua brandished the Formation Crusher in his hand, casting it out in all directions. Several formations and restraining barriers took shape, providing protection for everyone within.

Someone roared angrily at Celestus, “Celestus! Are you planning to rebel?”

At this moment, Celestus appeared utterly nonchalant.

“Rebel? Rebel against who? Are you talking about Governor Carmichael, who's dead? Since you are so loyal, I will grant your wish of following him in hell.”

As he spoke, Celestus raised his right hand high and swung it forcefully forward.

The Black Armor soldiers put down their longbows and drew their swords, charging into the small garden. They began to indiscriminately slaughter every death soldier within the garden.

Amid the initial onslaught of arrows, the individuals left within the garden, except for Jonathan and a handful of other outsiders, were the death soldiers. Caught by surprise, they had sustained substantial casualties.
