Chapter 45 - Ambush (III) (2/2)
Seventy people against one, yet you are that calm and even stop running. did you think you can take on all us at the same time?
At this moment there were out of the forest and into a wide field. All of the ambush party in the surroundings could no longer stay hidden within the mountain and was forced to follow Shad as he had captured their leader.
They had developed a foolproof plan to kill the 4th prince and his troops. they will use the huge fire boulder to disrupt them and create chaos, then they will use the siege crossbows to finish them off from the distance. As for the 4th prince, whether he died or not from the arrows was not important. After killing his troops, they could just surround him and his imperial knights and finished them off. Even though they did not have a 6th rank warrior in their rank, they were still confident in their numbers and coordination.
However, all of their plans were disrupted by that wretch. Not only that, he even caught their leader and made them ran through the whole forest like a bunch of dogs chasing after a bone. how could they not be angry.?
”Kill him.” One of them yelled. With such an opportunity how could they let the 4th prince go? Not to mention they could save their leader. Even though the 4th prince was acting high and mighty, they thought that he was just tired and could not run anymore, otherwise, why would he stopped knowing what the result might be if he got caught.
However, as soon as they were about to shoot Shad down, he suddenly disappeared along with their leader. To be more precise, they sunk below ground as though they were swallowed. They were so focused on shooting Shad that they did not notice a small black hole beneath his feet. Also, it was nighttime, which made it more difficult to see.
”Leave on alive.” While they were freaking out about this sudden turn of even event, they heard the 4th prince voice rang out from the ground as the small black on the ground was closing up.
In less than a second, more seventy soldiers finally caught with them including two imperial knights. At this moment, they all forgot about their leader, all they could think about was how to survive the attack of more than seventy angry soldiers as well as two 6th rank warriors.
Even though some of the soldiers were injured and bleeding due to the sudden ambush, they were determined to fight to the death and killed every single one them to vent their anger.
Everything was reversed within a second, the soldiers pounced towards the other men who were mostly archers, cutting them down like weeds. As the for the two imperial knights, they were like two god of deaths as they were harvesting their souls. In front of the combined powers of two imperial knights and the soldiers, the archers were like a bunch of newborn babies. before they could even draw their arrows, their heads were long sent flying. it did not take twenty minutes for the two imperial knights and the soldiers to clean them out while leaving only one alive just like the 4th prince had instructed.
Even though they wanted to kill all of them, they did not dare to disobey the 4th prince's order as they went back. As for Shad, he was currently sitting in his carriage with Monalisa with the unconscious man laying on the ground. Shad's black clothes were ripped apart in the front and back, but his body did not have one scratch.
” You can stop pretending to be unconscious now,” He said as he kicked the man on the floor.
