Rowan was just a few steps away from ending Oliver and Judus when Oliver suddenly yelled out a name at the top of his lungs.
"Who is Stanis? Why is that bastard traitor calling the name?" The soldiers whispered amongst themselves, and even the captains were confused.
Bryce looked at Rowan as if requesting permission to attack, but Rowan declined his request.
"STANISSSSS!!!" Oliver's voice thundered across the northern border.
His voice was so loud that even his own throat began to ache, but he didn't stop — this was his only hope of surviving. If Stanis was really here, as his son said, after hearing his call, he would attack, and the soldiers would be distracted, giving him the chance to escape death.
With such a plan in his mind to save his head, he didn't bother slaving his own throat.
Judus looked at his father with puzzlement etched on his face and tried to stop him by yelling, "Dad, why are you calling his name?"
