The knife flashed like lightning across the night sky, and in an instant, blood splattered like a fountain.
However, in this thrilling moment, he - Goblin Knight - was miraculously unharmed.
There was confusion and astonishment in his eyes.
Then, a familiar figure appeared in his sight.
That was Ye Yan. His expression was as cold as ice, and there was a deep light in his eyes.
Goblin Knight was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes.
The little king is still alive!
Feeling the gentle blood spurting from his back, Goblin Knight Mu slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze met Ye Yan's.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion revealed in his eyes, which was astonishment, joy, and a hint of disbelief.
"you are still alive."
"you are still alive."
Ye Yan's tone was cold and his face was expressionless, but the Goblin Knights still felt that hint of warmth.
Xiao Xiao Wang, are you caring about him?
There was only "mother" in those eyes, a kind of "family" that did not exist in his and the goblins' eyes.
There won't be a day when he won't be cared for.
Even if it was just a little bit, Goblin Knight was deeply moved.
"me"
Goblin Knight opened his mouth and wanted to say something
But Ye Yan got there first.
"Why protect them?"
As he spoke, Ye Yan's gaze fell on the children behind the Goblin Knights.
"No, don't kill me"
"woooooo"
Looking at the bodies lying on the ground, the children cried miserably.
"I, we don't know why Xiaotong is like this..."
A slightly older child sobbed, his eyes filled with fear and confusion.
"woooooo"
Ye Yan ignored the crying children. His eyes fell on the dazed Goblin Knight Mu standing aside and asked again.
"Why do you want to protect these children?"
Why, we need to protect these children?
Hearing Ye Yan's question, Goblin Knight Mu lowered his head.
His eyes fell on the shivering children behind him.
He didn't know why he did such a stupid thing.
Maybe, it's just to vent dissatisfaction.
To vent his anger, these adventurers destroyed his lair and killed their general, which was a small amount of resistance.
"answer me"
"You're willing to risk your life just for something like this?"
There was a rare hint of anger in Ye Yan's voice. He stared into Goblin Knight Mu's eyes, as if trying to see something from them.
Goblin Knight Mu looked up at Ye Yan, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Is this still the little Wang he knows?
The little monarch who didn't care about anything except his mother actually said such words to him.
He couldn't help but smile with relief.
"me……"
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
He knew that his behavior might seem stupid to many people.
But he couldn't explain himself.
I don’t know what to say.
"If you keep doing this, you'll die"
"You helped me"
Ye Yan recalled the time when he learned that his mother was about to die and was surrounded by the Goblin Knights.
It was the Goblin Knights who stepped forward and allowed him to leave the Goblin Castle smoothly.
Ye Yan remembered this incident. He thought that the Goblin Knights had died after that incident.
I didn't expect to be alive.
Since he is still alive, Ye Yan will not let him die so easily.
However, for Ye Yan, the simplest solution is to kill.
This was the simplest and most direct method he could think of as a trained killer and assassin.
Although, as his emotions slowly returned, he would not waver in his determination to kill.
I will regret and feel remorse, but never hesitate.
Thinking of this, Ye Yan's gaze fell on the child behind the Goblin Knight, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"Ooooh, mommy, I want mommy..."
The childish crying sound echoed in the silent forest, carrying endless sadness and fear.
"No, don't come over here, please..."
Another child's voice was then heard, revealing deep despair.
As if sensing the fear in the children's hearts, the wind became stronger, rustling the leaves.
"Sir, please stay."
Goblin Knight Mu hurried forward and blocked Ye Yan's way. His eyes revealed deep worry and helplessness.
"Sir, you don't need to handle these matters yourself, so as not to dirty your hands."
As he said this, he turned around and roared at the children behind him:
"You little bastards, hurry up and leave!
"Otherwise, when I get hungry, I will eat you one by one."
"no, do not want"
The children were so frightened that they were shaking all over. Some of them ran away as fast as they could, fearing that if they ran too slowly they would be caught by the Goblin Knights.
However, some children just stood there in a daze. They were so frightened that they lost the ability to move.
Among them, a boy named Xiaochun plucked up the courage and looked at Goblin Knight.
He took a deep breath, pulled his companion beside him, and whispered:
"Come on."
"Go, don't bother Uncle Mu anymore."
Xiaochun pulled the other children away one by one, and their figures gradually disappeared in the forest.
However, there was still one girl who had not moved for a long time. She was the only child who dared to look Ye Yan in the eye, a girl named Xiaoqiu.
Xiaoqiu tightly grasped the hem of her skirt, lowered her head, and did not dare to look at Ye Yan and the Goblin Knight.
There were tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, and one tear slid down quietly and dripped onto the cold ground.
"Uncle Mu, I...I'm leaving."
Facing Xiao Qiu's farewell, Goblin Knight Mu did not respond. His eyes were fixed on Ye Yan, trying to squeeze out spirit from his originally exhausted body and concentrate.
Despite being born in the same nest.
Despite knowing the identity of the little king.
Even though we were together for a short while.
Even though the little king saved him, he respected the little king very much.
Goblin Knight had never really understood Ye Yan.
I know a lot, but it seems like I know nothing.
For example, he didn't know what the little king was thinking at the moment.
Is the murderous intent that was released really meant to kill those children?
But doesn’t the little king never actively kill other harmless races?
he does not know.
Just like he didn't know why he protected those brats.
I don’t know why he was so worried at this moment, as if the little king had killed those children.
Fortunately, the little king did not do anything, but just watched silently until the last child, Xiaoqiu, left.
No.
Or maybe the little king never took those children seriously.
To kill or not to kill.
It's just like deciding to step on the ant to death today.
Is this the king? (End of this chapter)
