Chapter 385: Pursuit

Both of them quickly dived to the ground, hiding in the tall grass. It was difficult to notice them, even up close.

Dozens of people ran past them not too far away. From between the blades of grass, Ye Chong could see that their eyes were full of fear and dissatisfaction.

What a speedy retreat! Ye Chong and Ye Luo exchanged a look, and saw the surprise in each other. The child abductors had attacked fiercely in large numbers, and had the obvious advantage. However, they were now forced to escape in such a short amount of time.

”That’s too fast,” Ye Chong thought.

The child abductors were all running with all they had. Some of them fell down on the way, but no one gave them a second glance. Those who fell tried to get back up, their faces contorted horribly as their eyes told the story of their deep despair. They gritted their teeth and did not yell for help, their faces pale, possibly due to fatigue.

They knew what awaited them ahead, and knew that no one would stop for them. If it were them, they would never delay escaping because of another person.

Soon, everyone was gone, leaving behind the few people who fell down on the grassy plains.

The escaping group was now just visible as black spots in the distance.

Ye Chong and Ye Luo stood up.

”They sure lost quite fast! Han Family’s elite squad is truly powerful. If it’s combat, they’re probably on par with our guys back at home. Aristocrats are aristocrats, I guess. Either they stay quiet, or they roar like thunder,” Ye Luo mused.

The few injured child abductors in the grass saw Ye Chong and Ye Luo, and recognized them both immediately in fear.

Ye Chong nodded, agreeing with him.

Both of them ignored the injured child abductors and spoke to each other as though they were not there.

”Let’s go after them,” Ye Luo said, his face full of excitement.

”Why?” Ye Chong looked at Ye Luo, curious.

”Intel from the Family suggests that the Xi Feng Tribe might be behind the child abductors. The Family would like to confirm this. The power behind the child abductors has always been a mystery. Besides, I’m tired of seeing those sick b*stards. Hehe, is this an opportunity or what?” Ye Luo rubbed his hands together with enthusiasm.

Ye Chong thought of Huang Baiyi.

A rumbling sound came from afar. The ground shook trembled slightly, and the child abductors all showed horrified expressions.

”I say, those guys will never let their enemies escape just like that, it’s not their style at all. Now they’re finally here. Hehe, let’s get on the bandwagon,” Ye Luo said with twinkling eyes as the cavalry beyond approached them.

The cavalry came like a tsunami. They consisted of only about 200 men, but sounded like an army of thousands. The uniform sound of hoofbeats created a huge pressure of subjugation and power.

Ye Chong and Ye Luo stood out like a sore thumbs in the grassy plains.

The leader gave a command and the entire cavalry shifted directions towards them.

The thunderous sound of hoofs beating closed in on the two of them with increasing pressure. The cavalry did not slow down. The animals stepped heavily on the grass, bringing soil and broken blades of grass up with their hooves, marching out a deep trail through the plain.

What a powerful force!

Ye Luo stood in a dignified manner, his earlier easy demeanor gone without a trace. He was now back to the man that Ye Chong first came to know. Ye Chong stood silently, his expression unchanged. This was a magnificent spectacle, but for someone like him who had seen wonders in the space between galaxies, and fought against hundreds and thousands of mechs in outer space, this was only a small scale event.

Be it Ye Chong or Ye Luo, they maintained their standing positions, unperturbed.

The calvary closed in.

500 meters … 400 meters … 300 meters …

The leader at the front of the army lifted his right hand smoothly.

The cavalry came to a complete abrupt halt. The entire cavalry stopped just 10 meters away from the two men. The motion was executed while maintaining their formation perfectly.
