At this moment, a slaughter, akin to a massacre, was about to begin.
Just after the guards had knocked out the rogues and thugs, an unexpected event transpired.
For these knights, they were not on the same side as the guards.
The reason they stood together was only that they shared a common enemy, nothing more.
Only under such circumstances could a temporary reconciliation be achieved at this moment.
It was a shocking scene that none of the guards anticipated.
After the guards knocked the thugs unconscious, they clearly had lost all ability to resist.
Laying on the ground now, they bore no difference from corpses.
But the dignity of the Glorious Nobles could not be insulted; certain matters required someone to take responsibility.
No matter how ridiculous or absurd it seemed.
Someone must be made to shoulder the blame.
Even if paying the price of life was necessary, it did not matter, for the honor of the family's knights was at stake.
