"Protect His Majesty!"
The commander of the palace guards shouted and led a thousand guards to defend the palace and resist the skeletons.
Seeing the skeletons, which were fleshless but able to move freely, the guards were full of fear.
However, out of loyalty to the king and obedience to orders, they could only muster their courage and fight the skeletons to the death.
If they died, they died. But if they fled, their families would be implicated later.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding…"
Numerous swords and blades struck the skeletons, splashing sparks, but leaving no marks.
"Bang!"
With a sweep of a skeleton's arm, five guards were thrown out and fell heavily to the ground, their flesh smashed and their lives uncertain.
"Thud…"
Another skeleton reached out and penetrated the armor, pulling out a guard's heart.
"Crack!"
