“There are already people in the city who are more or less double-minded, and now that the Lord and his men are in a critical situation, I believe that even more will take advantage of the chaos to escape. If you find anyone who disturbs our troops or flees, kill them on the spot.”
“Yes, I understand.”
With those words, the attendant quickly retreated.
Seeing the follower leave, the Eastern Gate Commander shook his head helplessly and looked into the sky overhead: “One does not have many chances to choose in one’s life, can I bet on the right one this time?”
“Let it be, as a commander, I have been betrayed and abandoned, I know the pain and suffering, I don’t want to be like that abomination one day.”
“Compared to ordinary people, we can at least still die on the battlefield.”
“Allied Lord, I will guard the city gates to my death. Men at the gates, the city destroyed.”
He threw himself at the sky and slapped his chest.
And at almost the same time, over the mountains under the same sky.
A large force was still attacking the top of the mountain, and although it met with stubborn resistance, it was no more than a drop in the bucket to such a huge army.
At the foot of the mountain, the fires that had been raging earlier had also disappeared.
Zhu Yanshuo gave a rare smile of relief, at least the battle had ended in just ten minutes, which was a good indication that his guesses were correct.
At the bottom, it was just a small force, but Han Qianqian was just playing a trick or a seemingly useless sneak attack tactic with a limited number of troops.
Hei Yu glanced at Zhu Yanshuo who was smiling confidently, and his whole body relaxed a lot.
“It seems that what Lord Zhu expects is justified.” Someone patted Zhu Yanshuo’s back at this point.
“Hmph, Han 3000’s large army is surrounded by us, and he still attempts to scare us with a small force circling around our backs, this guy, he is really cunning to the extreme.”
“If it wasn’t for City Master Zhu’s composure and calmness, he would have really let Han Qianqian scare us.”
Hei Yu also nodded slightly, the matter now seemed that it was indeed her nerves that were too tightly wound. What she had to admit was that she was really too sensitive to Han Qianqian after being turned over by him one after another.
So much so that, at the first sign of trouble, she became overly nervous.
Zhu Yanshuo was really happy to be complimented by a group of people, especially when even Hei Yu nodded slightly at himself, making it clear to him that he had been recognised.
“Mister Zhu was just slightly analysing and happened to stumble upon it.”
“Haha, Special Envoy of the Divine Dragon, City Master Zhu has ruled the city well at a young age, and now this matter is even more proof that he is a man with an incomparable amount of modesty, and is a talent that can be created.”
“That’s right, there are many talented young men, but there are not many who can be as humble as City Master Zhu, his future is very promising, he is a talented man.”
Hei Yu smiled and nodded, she saw Zhu Yanshuo’s talent in her eyes, and he liked this performance very much.
Zhu Yanshuo was overjoyed, but his face was a light smile, “You all are so kind, there is still a lot for Zhu to learn.”
As he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise in the distance behind him, and the crowd turned around in a hurry to see a man coming in a mess.
He was almost cloaked in hair and his body was covered in wounds.
As the crowd wondered, he looked up with a jerk and looked over.
Even though they were still far apart from each other, the group of people in Hei Yu recognized this man in a moment.
“Isn’t that …… the Seventh Envoy?”
“Ah? Didn’t he …… go down the mountain to suppress the enemy? Didn’t the war quickly die down as well? How could …… how could this happen?”
“No, no, no, this can’t be, this can’t be.”
Some people roared loudly in disbelief, while others even had their brains on the spot, unable to utter a single word.
Zhu Yanshuo and Heiyu each looked at each other in astonishment, and for a while no one made a sound.
Only in the next second did Zhu Yanshuo come to his senses and hurriedly led a few soldiers to the Seventh Envoy, rushing him back with fire.
The Seventh Envoy was covered in blood and his face was extremely pale.
“Seventh Envoy, you ……” Hei Yu looked at the Seventh Envoy in shock, completely confused.
How could he be like this?
He had failed?!
“Your …… report to the Divine Dragon Envoy, there …… are …… a large number of mysterious troops under the mountain, the number is extremely… . extremely large, we …… were instantly crushed when we went down, and our …… subordinates …… subordinates also fought to their death before they could barely stand out.”
“What?!!!”
