Ruth and the other commanders looked at the mess and the three dead elves and felt their mouths dry. They looked at the departing figure and were speechless for a long time.
"Is this the true strength of the Executioner?" One of the commanders took a deep breath. Looking at the pale Ruth, he said, "We were all wrong. He avoided us not because he was afraid of us law enforcers, but because he disdained to fight with us. If he became serious, all of us combined would not be a match for him alone!"
"The thunderstorm last night and the Northland Elves today also explain a big problem. If your godfather doesn't come back... We can't move against Executioner!"
...
In the afternoon, when the residents of the city left their houses in fear and saw the mess on the street, they all felt a deep sense of fear.
On one hand, they were frightened by the Northland Elves' brazen invasion, and on the other hand, they were afraid of the strength of the Executioner.
