The identity of a commoner was the greatest reliance of these guards.
In this empire, or rather, the entire world, humans were roughly divided into three classes: slaves, civilians, and nobles.
Slaves did not have any power and were at the mercy of their masters. They were like pigs and dogs, the lowest status.
Commoners had a certain status and were protected by the laws of the empire. If they did not violate the laws of the empire, even nobles could not kill them for no reason.
Nobles were the upper class of society, equivalent to the existence at the top of the pyramid. They had noble status and had many privileges and even real power. If they were in their own territory, they were like local emperors.
To these guards, being a commoner was their greatest asset.
If they lost their civilian status and became slaves, they would not even have the right to live freely, let alone work. If they were killed by their masters, no one would say anything.
Slaves with masters could be disposed of at will by their masters, while slaves without masters would not be pursued by the Empire's laws even if they were killed.
This was the sorrow and inferiority of slaves.
"It's too late. If you dare to offend your master's dignity, becoming a slave is your final outcome.”Rennes said coldly, without any mercy.
Although he had not been in this world for long, he deeply understood the cruelty of this world.
Being merciful to the enemy was simply courting death.
He would never make such a mistake. Thus, he would suppress these guards mercilessly and demote them to slaves.
This was a warning, and also a display of the dignity of the Sarmaniya family.
"No!"
The group of guards 'faces were pale, and their eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. They knew that they were finished.
"As for you guys!"
Rene looked at the three mages, his cold killing intent surging in his blue eyes like a dark blue sea.
The murderous aura spread out, and the sharp power made Ness and the other two extremely frightened. They stomped their hind legs, and their faces turned pale.
"Tell me the person behind you, and I can consider letting you live.”Rennes knew that there must be someone behind them. Otherwise, how could they have the guts to plot against a Grand Duke?
Even a fallen Grand Duke was not someone a mere low-level mage would dare to spy on.
As for letting him live after he said it?
He only said that he would consider it, but he didn't say that he would definitely.
"Everyone, there is only one way to go now.”Taking a deep breath, Wizard Ness 'eyes turned cold. The mana in his body began to circulate quietly.
The other two's expressions changed slightly. They understood Wizard Ness 'meaning and shuddered.
Killing a Grand Duke was a heinous crime!
Once they made their move, regardless of whether they succeeded or not, the entire empire would not tolerate them.
Even the person behind them could not protect them.
"If we don't do it, we'll die too."
Ness 'lips moved slightly, and a soft voice sounded in their minds.
Tier 1 Spell, Voice Transmission Spell.
This was a relatively simple spell that could transmit sound over a short distance, similar to the sound transmission in martial arts novels.
"Alright!"
The two of them were not ordinary people either. They responded with a somewhat depressed expression, and the magic power in their bodies began to quietly circulate.
'Hmm? You want to fight?
Rennes naturally noticed the trio's behavior. He thought about it and understood their plan.
'It's just nice. I want to test my current strength!'
With his current strength, even Rene himself did not know how strong he was.
Having inherited half of the Green Scaled Eagle's power, Rene naturally did not fear a few Tier 3 Magicians. If it was a Tier 5 powerhouse, with his current low battle awareness and magic, he would still be a little afraid.
Tier 3? Haha.
Apart from Rene, there was another person who had noticed the situation. It was Rita. She had a smile on her face as if she had not noticed, but her eyes were flickering with a cold light.
"Attack!"
At this moment, Wizard Ness shouted loudly and raised his hand to point. A scorching hot Fire Element quickly rose, extremely violent.
A basketball-sized fireball was formed. It burned fiercely, and a scorching and violent power spread.
Tier 1 spell, Fireball.
For a Tier 3 Magician, it would not be instantaneous, but it would not take more than one or two seconds.
"Whoosh!"
The moment the Fireball appeared, it whistled towards Ryan. The terrifying power made people doubt that it could burn through a human body.
" Ness, what are you doing?!"
On the side, the guard captain of the fifth step's expression changed drastically. Dazzling battle energy gushed out, and he was about to draw his sword.
However, there was someone who was faster than him. He took the lead and pulled out the sword at his waist. Then, he took a step forward.
Rita's eyes suddenly lit up, and her tense body relaxed.
"Chi…"
In the next moment, the long sword tore through the air with a whistling sound. It stirred up a fierce wind like a ray of light and directly shattered the Fireball Spell.
" What?!"
The Type 5 guard captain's right hand missed its target, and his expression changed. When he saw the figure in front of him, he cried out in shock.
" Young Master Rennes?!"
His slender body, cold face, powerful aura, and shocking scene made it impossible for him to associate this young man in front of him with the silkpants young master of the past.
Only a Tier 3 Swordsman could shatter a Tier 1 Spell with a single swing of his sword.
Was this still the same Young Master Rennes who was only a level 1 mage and a useless warrior?
" Impossible!!!"
Ness and the other two paled. The scene before them was completely unexpected, but they didn't stay in a daze. Instead, they quickly pulled away and shouted at the same time.
"Why aren't you making a move? Only by killing Rennes will we have a way out. That lord will protect us.”
Ness 'words made the guards put down their last concerns. They drew their swords and aimed at Ryan.
If they lost their identity as commoners, they would be no different from dead. Since that was the case, why didn't they make a move and kill Rennes?
"I gave you a chance, but you're useless!”
Rennes's gaze was cold as he spoke indifferently.
