Chapter 63 - Mountain Tigers Graveyard (I) (2/2)
The hundred of Lightning Corps members were fearlessly following the four imperial knights as they were crossing the valley of the death. Today was the big day for them, it was the day where they will prove themselves to their sole commander just as he did to them.
It was the day where they will show why the protector of the empire had chosen them to be part of this special forces.
~bang!
Suddenly, the ground started to tremble as if there was an earthquake. Hundreds of mountain tigers bandits descended from the surrounding hills and mountains like a flood bursting a dam.
They seemed to be endless and completely surrounded the Lightning Corps without leaving a single inch unoccupied. They became a great wall that suppressed the whole valley.
From the way they encircled the Lightning Corps, it was impossible for them to get out from their position unless they slaughtered their way out which was almost impossible as they were only a hundred of them while they were more than five hundred of them, not to mention the main force haven't even made their move yet.
After the mountain tigers bandits besieged the Lighting Corps, instead of panicking, they stood there like a huge mountain without making a single move. There was not even a hint of fear in their eyes.
Even though they surrounded the Lightning Corps, they still haven't attacked them yet.
Soon, a scary middle-aged man walked out from them. He had a huge scar on his face which made him look scarier. There was a pair of long swords in his hands.
” My name is Antony and I am the leader of the Moutain Tigers bandit. I requested an audience with 4th imperial prince his highness.”
Antony was a 4th rank warrior and was also the leader of the mountain tigers bandit group. He was just a low-level 2nd rank warrior, but after he had become one of the henchmen of the 3rd imperial of the Nicholas empire within the Mulan Kingdom, his cultivation had skyrocketed and the number of people joining his gang increased as well.
Today could be the greatest day of his life. If he successfully completed this mission entrusted to him by the prince, he will be granted a noble title and his own land. Even though he was leading a good life by robbing people, he always wanted to become a noble and have his own legitimate domain. He was a very ambitious man and didn't want to spend the rest his life as the leader of a group of bandits.
For this mission, he had put all of his efforts and covered the whole mountains range with his minions. This was the only route that could be taken to reach the South. This route couldn't be avoided, no matter where one came from, therefore all six hundreds of his group were stationed here since this morning waiting for the arrival of the 4th prince.
He wanted to get all the credit by killing the prince before the main force sent by the 3rd prince get the chance to do so. However, even though he knew that the 4th prince was in that carriage, he couldn't help but felt a little unease which was why he had to make sure he was inside before giving the order to attack them.
Listening to Antony, Mark didn't even bother to answer him. He was here to prove the strength of the Lightning Corps to the 4th imperial prince by killing these evildoers not to socialize.
” Lightning Corps, Get into the dance of madness formation and exterminated every single filthy bandit in front you until none of them remained,” He yelled as he unsheathed his sword.
” Begin,” Yelled Mark again as he pounced towards Antony like tigers who was about to catch his prey.
