The sudden turn of events stunned everyone.
The newcomers had hoped Kudore would be appointed Wubei Territory's Guard Officer, which would have given them someone to rely on.
But they never imagined that the Lord, who was so calm and relaxed one second, would erupt with Fighting Qi and kill a man the next, completely without warning.
Staring at Kudore's beheaded corpse on the ground, they were horrified. 'This was a Professional Knight nearing the Advanced Level! How could he die in an instant, without even a chance to resist?'
A chill ran down their spines as they remembered the plan they had hatched with Kudore.
Some of the more cowardly among them collapsed to the ground, soiling their pants in sheer terror.
Others simply stood frozen, unable to process what had just happened, at a complete loss.
And still others, gripped by terror, fell to their knees one by one, begging the Lord for forgiveness.
