538 THE SECOND STORM (1/2)

The sky was still gloomy with an eerie howling winds mixed with dust whipped their faces, it was hard to tell which direction they were heading.

But, a faint light of burning torches around three hundred meters ahead, made them easier to pursue them.

Xiao Wang Wei smirked at his enemy stupidity to show their location.

”KILL THEM ALL!” He roared, his horse galloped in the front line.

A loud thunderous sound was heard as a replied for the prince's order. Their eyes were bloodshot red with anger, it was an humiliation to be ambushed by merely small group of people.

A few hundred meters at the front line, Senja couldn't hear what Xiao Wang Wei had told to his people, but by the clamor sound that they produced, everyone knew that they would kill them without a second thought if they managed to catch up.

”They are chasing after us!” Yi Qing was shouting beside Senja, as his voice washed away by the harsh wind.

”Good!” Senja tilted her head and gave the young man a lopsided smile.

Yi Qing chuckled.

It was indeed good.

Xiao Wang Wei had come willingly into their traps.

The route back to the northern fortress was taking five hours, but in their situation, both party managed to reach the north by only four hours.

This was something that Senja had predicted as well, based on the speed of their warhorses, it would be faster.

They didn't lure Xiao Wang Wei toward the northern fortress, but instead they attracted them to the other direction, the prince couldn't tell their direction as he hardly to see his surrounding, he only relied on the faint torches ahead of him.

Within these four hours, Senja and Yi Qing's troops managed to keep their distance that made him aggravated even more.

At that time, the sun that should have risen couldn't be seen as the ferocious howling was heard.

”The second gale is coming!” Senja shouted and the information was relayed among them.

In front was a higher ground that consisted with large rock. At this point, those people who were holding the burning torches threw them aside. They didn't need the light as they knew where they heading.

With the sudden lost of light and the howling gale that approaching, Xiao Wang Wei raised his hand and signaled them to stop. He looked his surrounding, but could see nothing except vast barren plains. He didn't have idea where they were or which direction was north or east.

The strong wind made those people who was sitting atop of their horses bent their bodies and put their arms in front of their faces, shielding them.

Only at that time, Xiao Wang Wei realized he was being tricked.

”RETREAT!!!” He roared in panic as the strong wind made their horses staggered and neighing furiously.
