Chapter 1651: Chapter 910: Hanna Makes Her Choice

Night has fallen,

and the atmosphere here and now is exceptionally tense.

The black-robed figures who gathered seemed to be wary of the warrior protecting those two children, and didn’t rush to attack, but surrounded their escape route entirely.

"Theodore!"

The leader of the black-robed figures shouted deeply at the middle-aged warrior surrounded in the center:

"You have done enough for the Grant family, it’s come to this, do you really want to die with the Grant family?"

"The Grant family is gone, why won’t you let these two children go?"

Theodore, paying constant attention to the movements of the surrounding black-robed figures, said in a low voice:

"I swear on my honor, I will take them away from the Samuel Kingdom and never return."

"This way, you should be able to complete your mission, right?"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed figures around couldn’t help but glance at each other.

Clearly, they were somewhat hesitant.

After all, the reputation of Theodore, the Steel Knight, is well-known. He is the strongest and most solid guardian shield of the Grant family, the great nobles of the kingdom.

If given a choice, they did not want to fight Theodore.

That means, among them, at least half might die at his hands.

While waiting for the response, Theodore placed the two children he was holding on the ground and whispered:

"Hanna, Turner, when I fight the enemy, you must pay attention, find the opportunity to use the tools to escape early, understand?"

"Uncle Theodore, let’s go together!"

The little girl named Hanna tightly grasped Theodore’s clothes.

Although extremely terrified, she still spoke earnestly to Theodore.

The little boy next to her, whose face appeared somewhat pale, was younger and couldn’t speak, but he nodded as well.

"If we go together, there’s no chance. Remember not to look back after leaving here, go to other places outside the Samuel Kingdom."

Theodore glanced at the two of them and sighed slightly:

"From now on, you two must rely on yourselves, be strong."

Hanna and Turner didn’t say much, only clenched their fists tightly.

Hanna looked at Theodore and involuntarily grasped the red gemstone necklace on his chest.

The leader of the black robes was not swayed by Theodore’s words.

He looked at Theodore, sighed, and said:

"We naturally trust the Steel Knight’s promise, but the master’s orders cannot be disobeyed."

"The evil bloodline of the Grant family must be exterminated!"

As he finished speaking, the leader of the black-robed figures waved his hand, and all the black-robed figures immediately charged towards Theodore.

All the black-robed figures, like phantoms, rushed fiercely at Theodore, tightly surrounded in the center, from all directions.

In the dim light, their forms appeared particularly eerie, their black robes fluttering in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Their weapons glimmered coldly in their hands, emitting a chilling aura in the darkness. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Their eyes revealed ferocity and determination, intent on putting Theodore to death.

Theodore stood firm at the center of the encirclement, his posture upright like a pine, yet his eyes showed no trace of fear.

Suddenly, a gray longsword and shield appeared in his hands, emitting a cold and powerful aura.

With a fierce shout, he slashed hard towards the leader of the black-robed figures.

This slash had an imposing momentum, with a sound of breaking wind, as if it wanted to tear the air apart.

The leader of the black-robed figures reacted extremely swiftly, retreating several steps, his form agile like a snake.

Knowing the power of Theodore’s strike, he dared not take it head-on, so he quickly let his companions block Theodore’s attack.

Those companions, though somewhat fearful, still braced themselves to charge forward to complete their mission.

Simultaneously, a black longbow appeared in the leader’s hands.

He swiftly drew the bowstring, which arced like a full moon.

The black arrow was placed on the string, its tip flashing with a cold light, then shot swiftly towards Theodore.

Theodore, with eyes like a torch, kept a close watch on the swiftly approaching arrow.

The longsword in his hand formed a curtain of swords in front of him.

With a loud "clang," the black arrow was cut in half by Theodore’s single slash, the broken pieces falling to the ground.

At this moment, a black-robed figure took the opportunity to approach Theodore.

The dagger in his hand flickered coldly, aimed at Theodore’s back.

Theodore reacted swiftly, swinging the shield in his left hand fiercely, smashing it into the face of the approaching assassin.

The black-robed figure only saw darkness, felt intense pain on his face, and then fell directly out of stealth state.

The whole person flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his face covered in blood, and he fainted directly.

The leader of the black-robed figures, seeing this, felt secretly annoyed.

While directing his subordinates to continue entangling Theodore, he turned his gaze.

He saw Hanna and Turner behind Theodore.

They were watching everything happening in front of them in terror, their eyes filled with helplessness and fear.

He thought that as long as they killed these two children, their mission would be complete, and they wouldn’t have to continue fighting this tenacious opponent, Theodore.

"Go, kill those two kids first!"

Thus, he loudly ordered, directing part of his subordinates to charge towards Hanna and Turner behind Theodore.

The black-robed figures, following the command, rushed at the two children like wolves in pursuit.
