Chapter 451 Auction trap (28)
If they had been even a second slower, then they might have been stabbed by the weapons that had been thrown out by the second prince's men.
But they closed the shield wall just in time and those weapons just bounced off their shields.
When those weapons hit those shields, there was a glow that appeared around them.
When I saw this, I couldn't help feeling a familiar sensation from these shields.
They were most likely magic items with how easily they bounced those weapons off.
There wasn't even a single dent that was left on those shields after they bounced these weapons off.
This showed just how strong the magic in these shields were.
Of course, that didn't mean that the fourth prince's men would just let themselves be attacked without fighting back.
As soon as those weapons were thrown, there were weapons that fell down on the second prince's formation.
They also closed their shield wall as soon as they threw their weapons since they knew that they would be retaliated against the moment that they attacked. They didn't dare have their shields down when that happened.
But unlike the shields of the fourth prince's group, these shields didn't block these weapons as well.
There were some that cracked when the weapons slammed into them and there were some that dented. Regardless of whether it cracked or not, it was clear that these shields that had broken weren't able to protect its wielders.
There were many holes that formed in the formation of the second prince's group.
The ones beside the ones that fell had no choice but to fill in the gaps for the ones that fell.
But even then, it was clear that their formation wasn't holding.
It was clear that they were being overwhelmed by the difference in equipment.
So it would only be a matter of time before they were worn down by the rain of weapons that fell on them. It was only a matter of time before their formation broke and they were slaughtered.
The people of the second prince's group couldn't help feeling worried since they recognized this fact.
They looked to the second prince for guidance, but the second prince also had an ugly expression on his face.
He too was feeling the pressure of this situation and he didn't know how to get out of it.
He still had one last trump card up his sleeve, but he knew that the moment he used it, it would be the end of pretenses. The moment that he used this, it would mean that he was desperate and the fourth prince wouldn't show any mercy.
So he was hesitant in using it.
But the fact that they were trapped here was more than enough to tell him that he couldn't wait anymore.
So he looked at two people who had been standing by his side the entire time.
They had never left his side, so it was clear that they were important to him.
The two of them were surprised when they saw him looking over, but they revealed serious looks before giving a nod back as if they were trying to assure him.
Then both of them pulled out what seemed to be staves.
As soon as they pulled out their staff, there was mana that gathered around these two.
It turned out that these two trusted subordinates of the second prince were magicians.
One of them had blue magical energy gathering around them while the other had red magical energy.
This was based on the element of magic that they used.
The one with blue magical energy was clearly an ice elemental magician and the one with red magical energy was clearly a fire elemental magician.
The two of them were gathering their mana to cast their spells, but before they could finish gathering their mana, it suddenly scattered away.
The two of them revealed shocked looks as they looked down at their staff.
They waved their staff and moved their hands as if they were testing something, but the glow never appeared again.
It seemed that there was something that was suppressing their mana that stopped them from casting their spells.
They looked at the second prince with a distressed look and the second prince revealed an ugly expression.
He didn't know what happened, but he was certain that it was done by the fourth prince.
So after a moment of silence, the second prince raised his voice and said, "Fourth brother, what did you do?"
The fourth prince in his own formation revealed a smile when he heard this.
Contrary to the second prince who had a grim look on his face, the fourth prince had a very relaxed expression on his face as he stood there in his own formation.
It was as if everything was in the palm of his hands and he was controlling everything.
Though with how easily the second prince's formation was being worn down, it wouldn't be strange if that was the case.
The fourth prince just casually said, "Is there a problem, second brother? Are you having a little magic deficiency?"
The second prince's expression became even uglier as he said, "Noah, you son of a b****, what did you do?"
The second prince had ripped off all pretenses at this point and even swore at his own brother.
That was just how desperate he was.
But the fourth prince deeply knitted his brows when he heard this.
If one didn't know better, they would have thought that he was deeply hurt by what the second prince said.
After a moment of silence, the fourth prince said, "Keep agonizing over it until your death. This is the fate of one who betrays the royal family."
His voice was so cold that it was like being thrown into a glacier.
Just a single word was enough to freeze a person.
