"That old man?"
Although he had expected that this old man was not an ordinary person, Vivian couldn't help but marvel at the scene when he saw the other party's attack with his own eyes.
This speed...is obviously not shaving.
How did he do that
He is already in his seventies or eighties, but he can still maintain such a high level of physical skills. He must have been a big shot when he was young, right
"Um?"
The guns in their hands were suddenly dodged. The soldiers who just came to their senses turned their heads and looked at the old man and said, "Hey, old man who cooks, do you want to die?"
"Looking for death? Sorry, I've never had such an idea."
The old man coughed, then crushed all the spears in his hands into scrap metal with his bare hands and threw them on the ground. He then said, "Also, my name is Shukman, and I was once the commander of the Xiangning Kingdom's guard. Although the Xiangning Kingdom has been in decline for decades, I have never left here and have been silently protecting the civilians here."
When he said this, his tone was full of melancholy.
And the facts are indeed as he said.
In the years since the complete decline of the Lemon Kingdom, it has encountered countless pirates. If he had not stayed in this place, fighting against those villains with his old bones, this island would probably have ceased to exist long ago.
"Captain of the Xiangning Kingdom's Guard?"
"Shukman?"
"Emmmm..."
“Never heard of it.”
Shukman: "..."
"Anyway, you old man are tired of living!"
"Kill him!"
One of the soldiers waved his hand, and the others immediately drew the blades from their waists and rushed towards Shukman's position.
"A bunch of ants."
Shukman stood there without moving, with a smile on his face full of confidence, as if those rushing towards him were not ferocious soldiers, but a group of ants as he said.
Then two seconds later.
When Shukman flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell into the cow dung, everyone present could no longer hold back.
Vivian: “…”
The civilians who had just begun to feel a little hope: "..."
What? Is it just faster
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Vivian couldn't help shaking his head, thinking, in the end, do I have to do it myself
In fact, he had realized from the beginning that this group of soldiers were sent by the tall and thin man. Their purpose was to find a few innocent civilians to be scapegoats in order to cover up the fact that he had blown up his colleagues.
Because of this, all the doubts that he had not figured out before were now clear. It turned out that guy was neither an undercover agent of their new government, nor did he throw the grenade for revenge, but because he wanted to fight for military power.
Thinking of this, Vivian saw out of the corner of his eye that the group of soldiers were about to deliver a final fatal blow to Shukman. Just as Vivian was about to attack secretly, he knew that in the next moment...
boom!
A flying kick exploded in the air, and in just a blink of an eye, all the soldiers present were sent flying out of the farm, with blood and limbs flying everywhere. The death was so tragic that all the people, including Vivian, were frightened out of their wits.
"This...this guy is too cruel, isn't he?" Vivian said with her mouth wide open.
The civilians imprisoned in the farm, however, gathered around Shukman after seeing his mighty power, completely ignoring the corpses scattered around him. They stared at Shukman and exclaimed in amazement, "Grandpa, you are so strong?"
"Yes, grandpa, why didn't you come out to help us earlier? In that case..."
"You mean, if that were the case, so many people wouldn't have died, right?" Shukman held his old waist and said the rest of the words for the other party.
However, before the people nodded, Vivian suddenly said, "Hey, old man, if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid your time is coming soon, right?"
"The end is coming?"
The civilians were all stunned.
Only Xiukman, after hearing this, looked at Vivian in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
"Oh, I'm a doctor." Vivian said seriously.
"Doctor...can you still tell a person's lifespan?"
Shukman murmured.
However, Vivian continued, "I think every time you use your full-strength combat power, your remaining life span will be shortened a little, right?"
silence.
As if Vivian had hit the nail on the head, Shukman pursed his lips bitterly.
Once upon a time, I was a majestic and respected leader of a country's guard army. Who would have thought that decades later, I would end up in the miserable situation I am in now.
Heroes always grow old..
"I see."
"Is that why you didn't help us before, Grandpa?"
"Please..please accept our greeting!"
“Wuwuwuwu…”
The farm soon became a mess.
Just as the people were kneeling down to thank Shukman for saving their lives, outside the farm, a large number of soldiers from the 64-nation coalition quickly surrounded the place.
Even from a distance, Vivian, who had the ability of perspective, could see the abnormality at a glance. So before Shukman could get ready to pose, he interrupted everyone and said, "There are soldiers coming here. I think it would be better for you to run away immediately."
Upon hearing this, the people became panicked again.
"But...where should we escape to?" someone couldn't help but ask.
Escape to the seaside
The boats on the beach had already been occupied by the Allied Forces.
Or escape to town
However, the towns of the Lemon Kingdom have been in chaos for many years, and have recently been invaded and forced to enlist. The situation has become even worse, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as hell on earth.
Of course, Shukman had tried to change the tragic situation of the kingdom, but his power was limited, so he could only choose to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity with the little life he had left.
And today, he felt that the time had finally come.
Because the man he had been waiting for finally appeared on the island.
"This is my only and last chance in this life, so I decided to recreate my glory as the commander of the Guards."
Shukman clenched his wrinkled fists, looked up at the sky, and said with a firm expression.
However, when he turned around and looked behind him, he saw that the civilians seemed to have ignored his existence and, under Vivian's command, quickly fled out of the farm.
Shukman: "..."
