”Both of you, lock them up with those traitors. Send them out tomorrow to claim their merits.” With a command from the leader, the two soldiers dragged the crying Seven Fields and Ming Gui into the cage and locked them up.

The two were shouting and yelling inside the cage. The people outside were extremely annoyed by their cries, so they came in and gave each of them a slap on the face. Then, the two of them shut their mouths.

When the warriors in the cage saw the two civilians captured and imprisoned together with them, they knew that these soldiers were trying to use the civilians to falsely claim their military merits. Thus, they didn't think too much about it.

When Ming Gui and Seven Fields saw that the soldiers didn't enter the tent to check on the situation, they relaxed. Ming Gui carefully began to unlock the tent.

On the other side, after Zhang Long and the others saw that Seven Fields and Ming Gui had successfully snuck in, they began their next step.

Zhang Long and Xue Kaishan each pulled a strong bow, aimed at the pile of supplies, and shot an arrow. After getting their hands on the horse carriage, both of them were set on fire.

Suddenly, the group of people started to shout for fire. Zhang Long and Xue Kaishan fired a few more arrows at several other places, and the entire troop was thrown into chaos. Everyone was trying to put out the fire, and the entire camp was in chaos.

At this time, Ming Gui had already opened the lock. The twenty warriors were still confused. Ming Gui then revealed the identity token given to him by Xue Kaishan. When they saw the proof that was unique to the Kulman tribe, they immediately understood that this was the person that was sent by Lu Tu to save them. Without further ado, he rushed out of the tent with Ming Gui.

Before leaving the tent, Ming Gui told each of them to tear off a piece of cloth, and to soak the cloth in a bucket of water to the side so that they could cover their mouths and noses.

The group of warriors were still wondering why they had to cover their noses and mouths like this, but when they walked out of the tent, one of the warriors who wasn't covered up nearly fainted, only then did they realize that it was smoke.

It turned out that when Zhang Long and Xue Kaishan had set fire to the fire, Jin Hua had already secretly mixed the smoke he had created into the smoke screen. Not long after that, the smoke came into play. The group seized the opportunity to leave the camp.

As for the few soldiers who had been sent to hunt for prey, they were scared stiff by the Du brothers.

It turned out that at this moment, the Du brothers were taking advantage of the dark forest and they used straw to prick out some scarecrows to stand in the forest. They pretended to be a group of bandits and said that they wanted to slaughter their way to the camp to save the people.

When the soldiers heard that there were more than 200 bandits, they were scared and ran back.

When the few of them ran back to the camp, they discovered that their camp was already engulfed in flames, and that everyone was lying on the ground.

He immediately understood that he had not run away from these bandits. He knew that he was doomed to die if he went back. So after some discussion, he threw away his armor and ran away.

That night, the group of people reunited and immediately returned to the broken temple from before. Only after a night of rest did they recover their spirit. Unfortunately, due to the previous encirclement and illness, a few of these warriors had still died. There were only seventeen or eighteen of them now.

Seeing these warriors dying because of him, Xue Kaishan couldn't help but blame himself. He felt like he had to retreat. After all, no matter what the outcome would be, he would take revenge on his own. However, these people could not die with him.

Xue Kaishan wanted to ask Zhang Long to send these warriors back to their hometowns, but the leader of the martial artists, Timur, saw through his thoughts.

”That Lutu, I know what you want to say.” Timur took a gulp of his wine and said, ”Since you are one of us warriors, show us the spirit of a warrior. The eagle will not stop soaring because of a moment of pain. Since we brothers have promised to help you take revenge, we will not retreat! ”
