Standing a short distance away from the bed was another man. Unlike the medical staff, he was not wearing a healer's uniform.
His tall figure stood straight like a silent guard.
His name was Xing Zhen. Xing Zhen was the right-hand man of Xing Luoye and one of the most trusted warriors in Dune City.
Before the evacuation began, Xing Luoye had personally given him an order: take the Second Prince away and protect him at all costs.
At that moment, Xing Luoye had already decided to remain behind and face the enemy forces alone.
Xing Zhen still remembered the last words his friend had spoken to him.
"Take Luoguang and go. Don't let the people stay. You must protect him. He is the hope of our city."
Those words were still echoing in Xing Zhen's mind, making his fists slowly clench.
Anger, grief, and helplessness were all mixed together inside his heart, but he forced himself to remain calm.
Right now, the entire ship was depending on him.
