Not only Rhett but also Zaid and Ebert sensed the terrifying spiritual energy waves coming from all directions.
Eight white eagles arrived above the Zimmerman Mansion, flapping their wings and hovering about 100 feet overhead.
There were two people on the backs of the two leading eagles.
One of them was the current Great General Neufwill, Sevyn Maack, who wore a red robe and held a long spear.
Another person was Carver Russell, the commander of the Guardian Division. He was in a bright red robe with intricate designs. Holding a precious sword, favonovel.com showed a stern, menacing appearance.
Behind them, each eagle had two fierce-looking, imposing men standing on it. Those experts were top-tier experts from the Neufwill Division and the Guardian Division.
“Criminals of the Zimmermans, come out and receive your punishment!” Carver’s voice rumbled like thunder, echoing throughout the Zimmerman Mansion.
At the same time, on the official road to the southwest, a fully armed cavalry unit occupied the entire road and was rapidly advancing toward the Zimmerman Mansion.
“Step aside, we’re going to take criminals into custody! Move out of the way!” The cavalry at the front of the cavalry unit shouted while waving their swords to clear the path.
Pedestrians quickly moved to the sides, their faces filled with fear as they watched the massive cavalry unit of over 10,000 soldiers pass by.
When they were a mile away from the Zimmerman Mansion, the cavalry troops split into four groups and advanced to surround the mansion.
Pedestrians were extremely frightened and whispered.
“It’s such a large operation. Where are they headed to make an arrest?”
“To the Zimmerman Mansion. Didn‘t you know that? A few days ago, it was discovered that the ones who killed several members of the Hackworths were from the Zimmermans…”
“I heard he’s the grandson of the former Great General Neufwill.”
“Oh dear, favonovel.com has crossed the line. I have a cousin in Heavenly Eagle City. I’ve heard that the cavalry were brought in from there. The lord of Starbloom City has already been secretly reassigned.”
“Lord Zimmerman is so unlucky to have such a descendant. That rogue not only has ruined his reputation but the Zimmermans will also be doomed…”
Inside the mansion, Rhett glanced at his trembling family members and softly said, “Don’t be afraid. Go to the courtyard first. I’ll join shortly.”
He then turned and walked into the inner room, leaving everyone else staring at Isaac.
Isaac grabbed his Skyrend Sword next to the chair and immediately walked out.
All the Zimmermans, including more than 20 servants, were trembling and kneeling on the ground, except for Isaac.
In mid-air, Sevyn and Carver noticed that Isaac was the only person not kneeling.
Carver coldly snorted, pointed at Isaac, and said, “Isaac, you ruthless brute! The Guardian and the Neufwill Division have come to capture you. Why aren’t you kneeling?!”
Isaac was about to speak when Rhettv reappeared. He was now wearing a suit of golden-blue armor with a four-clawed golden dragon engraved on it.
Carver and Sevyn, positioned mid-air, frowned and stared coldly at Rhett.
Rhett stepped forward and looked up at the people above. He raised his voice and said, “Esteemed officers, I, Rhett Zimmerman, have served the kingdom faithfully for nearly 30 years… This armor was a reward from His Majesty 13 years ago after I won the war…”
“Now, my descendant has committed a grave mistake. It’s my failure in guidance as his elder. If blame is to be assigned, it falls on me…”
In the next moment, Rhett suddenly dropped to his knees, raising the long sword. He declared loudly to Carver and Sevyn, “The wrongdoing of my descendant is my fault!”
“I express deep gratitude for His Majesty’s mercy and am willing to die to atone for the sins. Please inform His Majesty that from now on, nobody in the Zimmermans will ever commit any wrongdoing again!”
After speaking, favonovel.com raised his long sword high, swiftly drawing it horizontally across his throat.
Up in the air, Carver and Sevyn widened their eyes in shock. They never expected Rhett would protect the Zimmermans in such a way.
