At this moment, Demon King Saxe’s expression was already very ugly. He had never thought that he would raise a princess who helped outsiders.
At this moment, Gray, who had remained silent all this while, stood up.
“Actually, I don’t think the Princess’ request is too much. Since the Princess has already said so, I think we should respect her opinion?”
Demon King Saxe didn’t expect that his lowly subordinate would actually stand up against him.
In a moment of anger, a wave of light flew out and struck Gray’s shoulder.
Gray lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Although Klein couldn’t see his eyes and expression, he could vaguely see the shock and disbelief in his actions.
.
He never expected master would treat his loyal and filial servant like this.
It was obvious that Demon King Saxe didn’t treat any of his subordinates as human beings.
He felt that they were just his slaves, not to mention the tiny captain of the Black Crow Legion.
At this moment, Gray had already clenched his hands tightly. He seemed to have made up his mind as he struggled to get up from the ground and dusted himself off.
Seeing how stubborn Gray was, it seemed like he didn’t want to give up on resisting.
“As long as you remember what will happen if you defy me today, you mustn’t leave when I say that the Princess can’t leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Princess Anna also seemed to understand that her small arms couldn’t outrun her thighs. At this moment, a helpless look appeared on his face.
‘Since I can’t leave here safely, I have to at least rescue Klein and his companions.’
As she thought, Princess Anna fled in front of Demon King Saxe and hugged his thighs tightly!
Demon King Saxe was tall. Although he looked thin and shriveled, his height was indeed terrifying. From a distance, he looked like a withered tree.
Princess Anna happened to be able to hug his thigh as she hugged him tightly and shouted in Klein’s direction, “I’ve already stopped him. The two of you, run quickly and leave this place. Don’t bother about me anymore!”
Klein frowned. He never expected that he would have to rely on a little girl to save him one day. It was too embarrassing!
And Princess Anna’s action had indeed caused Demon King Saxe to be conflicted.
No matter what he thought, he had to respect the Princess.
The existence of the Princess was like a Saintess in their place. No one dared to question her.
If Demon King Saxe wanted to continue ruling this land, he had to give face to the Princess.
Demon King Saxe sighed softly. “Anna, listen to me. These two aren’t good people. If you really left with them, the consequences would be unimaginable. It’s very likely that they were the ones who took you away!”
What Demon King Saxe said was an attempt to smear Klein and his companions, trying to create the impression that Klein was a detestable human trafficker.
At the same time, it also brainwashed the Princess, who couldn’t see the situation clearly.
The Princess had already lost her memory. She didn’t know anything about the past, and she would do whatever others said.
What Demon King Saxe didn’t expect was that Princess Anna was smarter than he had imagined,
She knew who she should trust and seemed to be able to see through the ambitions of the person who was always thinking of her.
“What, you don’t even listen to my orders?”
At this moment, a cold smile appeared on Demon King Saxe’s face.
He reached out and grabbed Princess Anna’s shoulder, lifting her up.
Princess Anna’s face was already filled with fear. She realized that Demon King Saxe seemed to have torn off his mask and started to reveal his true appearance,
“I am the Master of this place. Your grandfather is no longer here. Who would listen to a princess like you? Go back obediently. I don’t want to hurt you!”
Demon King Saxe finally revealed his true face and no longer respected Anna.
He even tried to throw Princess Anna’s small body to the ground and have his subordinates drag the girl back to be imprisoned.
At this moment, Anna knew that she had truly entered a tiger’s den and was unable to escape.
Klein naturally couldn’t stand it any longer. Since both sides had fallen out, he had to bring Anna away even if he had to use all his strength today!
The tier 10 weapon in his hand flew out once again. At this moment, Klein had drained all of his strength from using the tier 10 weapon multiple times.
He was already at the end of his rope, struggling to hold on.
He poured all his strength into the final strike, and the weapon flew out at lightning speed. It didn’t give Demon King Saxe any chance to react!
At this moment, Demon King Saxe placed all his attention on Princess Anna. He didn’t seem to pay too much attention to Klein’s situation.
He felt that these foolish ants were only here to die.
Once he settled his family affairs, he would naturally crush these ants one by one.
However, the development of the matter was unexpected.
Demon King Saxe felt as though his entire body was enveloped by a strange power.
When he came to his senses again, he realized that his body seemed to have been frozen by something, and he could no longer move.
The people around him also widened their eyes in shock. They were as stunned as wooden statues.
With a cracking sound, Klein’s slash happened to land on Demon King Saxe’s arm that was holding Princess Anna.
His entire arm was completely separated from his shoulder!
James also widened his eyes in disbelief.
Only then did he remember that no matter how powerful Demon King Saxe was, he was only a body of flesh and blood.
There was no way he could withstand a full-strength strike from a tier 10 weapon!
Klein had been trying to divert his attention, but that was the last strike!
Klein hadn’t planned on attacking so quickly. He saw Demon King Saxe grab Princess Anna’s body and watch her tiny body struggle in the air.
Klein felt his heart ache, so he took action ahead of time.
The severed arm was instantly sent flying, followed by Princess Anna’s petite body.
“Ah!”
The princess screamed in pain. Klein immediately rushed forward, wanting to catch the arm.
However, he realized that his legs were sore and his movement speed was greatly reduced.
Seeing the princess about to land with the severed arm around her neck, Klein felt anxious.
To his surprise, another person made a move. It was Gray, who had been watching the show from the side without making a single move!
He was the leader of the Black Crow Legion to begin with. His figure and evasive skill points had already reached the peak. His speed was astounding.
The people around him didn’t even see how he moved before they reached out to catch the princess. Their tiny bodies landed steadily!
Seeing the situation in front of him, Klein heaved a sigh of relief and shot a grateful look at Gray.
