Nicholas could feel five soldiers approaching fast. They were the closest, there were another ten, the back up.
Normally that would be more than enough to subdue a small group of mages, but this wasn't an ordinary group.
"They will know you were here." Connor whispered as he stood behind Nicholas. He was the only one that the prince had allowed to stay.
"We will need to move faster, be at least a day ahead of them by the time they find the bodies. Kill everyone that gets past me." Nicholas ordered in a cold tone as he sensed the first group was only thirty paces away.
As soon as they entered his sights, Nicholas released a strong surge of Cruor magic knocking the first few men against the wall.
Nicholas felt as their magic vanished, the impact against the wall had killed them.
"That was easy." Nicholas said with a smirk.
