"Clang!"
The longsword dropped to the ground, and the guard, who had been held at swordpoint, let out a long sigh of relief.
Liens did not use his own longsword; instead, he drew the longsword hanging from the guard's waist to deal with its owner.
Not only that guard, but the other guards also visibly relaxed when they saw Liens leave.
It was too intense; facing an existence that could kill them at any moment, they truly didn't dare to even breathe loudly, fearing they might incur his displeasure.
Now that he had finally left, the heavy weight on their hearts could finally be lifted.
"What should we do? Should we report this?"
One guard asked the others.
"Of course, we should report it... Our main job is to monitor the city gate's situation, and any unexpected circumstances must be reported to our superiors."
"Intercepting rebels and preventing civilians from approaching are secondary matters; our superiors never expected us few to accomplish much."
