"Balistan, protect him! Watch out for crossbow arrows!" Lance quickly called out to the veteran upon seeing the farm owner's agitated state.
"Leave it to me." Balistan raised his Shield and followed.
The farm owner stood on the platform, looking out. His appearance indeed made the guards hesitate.
The message they had received was that someone had broken in and killed the farm owner, but why would the farm owner appear at this time?
"David is a traitor! You..."
Before the farm owner could finish his sentence, a Crossbow Arrow suddenly shot out from a corner, flying straight towards him.
Just as it was about to hit the farm owner, a Shield appeared in front of him, deflecting the Crossbow Arrow.
"Stand behind me!" the veteran barked, holding the Shield in front. He sidestepped and crouched slightly, lowering his head to cover as much of his body as possible with the Shield, reducing the risk of exposure.
