An Understated Dominance Chapter 1818 –Ignatius was very alert. He quickly retreated with the royal guards when he saw the assassin advancing closer.

Keeping himself alive was a priority now. He just needed to avoid the assassination attempt. When the assassin grew tired, he’d order the soldiers to kill him. This was the safest option.

“Draven, I think Ignatius is right. Safety first. I’ll retreat for now.” Atticus didn’t dare to stay any longer as he slowly retreated with the royal guards when he saw Ignatius leaving.

“Hmm! All of you are just scared!” Draven frowned slightly with a disgruntled look. He then turned to look at Mortimer and expressively said, “Mortimer, you’ve always been a brave fighter. You’re certainly not retreating like those two, right?” “Of course not!” Mortimer stretched a little bit and smirked, “It’s just an assassin. There’s nothing to be afraid of!” He became a sovereign after a bloody and hellish experience. There was nothing he had not seen. A worthless assassin was not enough to scare him.

“Good! We’ll see how good this assassin is!” Draven happily nodded as he signaled his royal guards. “Get into formation! Capture that assassin!” “Yes!” Behind him, a few hundred royal guards withdrew their longswords immediately and charged forward to surround the assassin.

“Capture the assassin!” Mortimer was eager to show off as well. He quickly withdrew his sword and led his team of royal guards to attack the assassin from another direction.

The royal guards were selected from the very best. Each of them could fight a hundred opponents on their own and was much stronger than an ordinary soldier.
