Chapter 87 - Assassinating The Azure Dragon Marshal

n

n

nOutside the city, the wounded soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion looked at the flames on the ground from afar, not daring to approach.

n

nHe Chuan had given them sufficient time to react when he attacked.

n

nIf they wanted to live, they had to leave the hundred-meter radius of Glory City.

n

nHearing the continuous sounds of strange beasts in the mountain forest.

n

nThese people really had no choice but to flee in all directions.

n

nSeeing this scene, Lin Cheng sighed softly.

n

n“Strange beasts are bloodthirsty. I’m afraid these people won’t be able to run far.”

n

nXu Ke looked at him. “Mashal Lin, you’re not going to start being sentimental again, are you?”

n

n“After all, they’re all soldiers of the empire. Although the Azure Dragon Marshal and I don’t get along, but…”

n

nLin Cheng gradually came to a realization. Having a compassionate heart wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing in this chaotic world. Thus, he shook his head and said, “Sigh, forget it. It’s good as long as we can survive the beast tide.”

n

nXu Ke thought for a moment and said, “These scents disperse very quickly. They can only delay the arrival of the second wave of the beast tide. Your Highness, what should we do?”

n

n“Take the opportunity to kill the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal.”

n

nHe Chuan looked into the distance. “Once he dies, the Azure Dragon Legion will become headless flies. When that time comes, the target of the beast tide will not be just us.”

n

nXu Ke was startled. “Your Highness, you want the entire Azure Dragon Legion to use their lives to delay time for us?”

n

n“Yes.” He Chuan’s gaze was firm. “Choose 300 awakened new soldiers. I will personally pursue and kill them!”

n

nLin Cheng and Xu Ke looked at each other in surprise.

n

nThis was the first time they had seen He Chuan use such a ruthless method. It was very different from his usual gentle and refined appearance. It made them very uncomfortable.

n

nHowever, there was nothing that couldn’t be done. The crimes that the Azure Dragon Marshal had committed in the past few years, both in the open and in the dark, were enough to make him die a few times.

n

nVery soon, the chasing troops were assembled.

n

nEach of them was the best among the second-level awakened of the new army.

n

nHowever, the Azure Dragon Legion still had more than 10,000 people.

n

nIt was still a little challenging to assassinate Azure Dragon Marshal.

n

nIn order to reduce casualties and avoid being discovered by the other party first, all of them changed into night clothes.

n

nThey chased out first and waited until nighttime before attacking together!

n

nThe speed of the awakened ones was far faster than ordinary people.

n

nMoreover, the Azure Dragon Legion was afraid of being scattered by the beast tide, so they didn’t dare to split into small groups and chose to march in a group.

n

nThis way, it was effortless to find them.

n

nHe Chuan brought 300 awakened ones and used the foresight of the deductive system to avoid the increasingly dense area of exotic beasts.

n

nBut the Azure Dragon Legion wasn’t so lucky.

n

nThere were too many of them.

n

nAfter setting up a defensive formation, every step they took would send a flock of birds flying.

n

nMany strange beasts were already watching them in the dark.

n

nIn the evening, they launched a wave of attacks in tacit understanding.

n

nThe battle cries shook the sky for a moment, so much so that even the strange beasts in the distance were attracted over.

n

n“All the heavy shield 100-man regiments, go and block the strange beasts that are charging at us. The hatchet men, cooperate with us to kill them. Let’s get rid of them first!”

n

nAzure Dragon Marshal gave the order from the center of the battlefield. “Archers, prepare the rockets. Burn down the forest on the west side. Don’t let those strange beasts come over!”

n

nA few troops moved quickly.

n

nSoon, the strange beasts that were surrounded by the heavy shield soldiers could no longer kill as fiercely as they had when they first entered the battlefield.

n

nAlthough the shields the Azure Dragon Legion provided couldn’t block a few attacks from the strange beasts, they had the advantage in numbers. If one of them couldn’t hold on any longer, their teammates would immediately replace them.

n

nWhile exhausting the exotic beasts’ stamina, there were also hatchet men attacking from the flanks.

n

nNot long after, the strange beasts actually became riddled with wounds under this kind of tactical system.

n

nHowever, it was still a little difficult to kill them truly.

n

n“Looks like the Azure Dragon Legion’s luck today is a little bad.”

n

nJust as the battle situation was tense.

n

nHe Chuan moved.

n

nHe brought a few hundred awakened ones and turned into a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the Azure Dragon Legion’s defense gap.

n

nIn just a few seconds, they had rushed to the center of the battlefield and destroyed more than ten hundred-man regiments in a row.

n

nThey didn’t even have time to warn the others.

n

nJust as the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal sensed that something was wrong.

n

nHe turned his head and saw a figure shrouded in flames.

n

nThe next moment.

n

nHe lost consciousness.

n

nHis head separated from his body, and fell to the ground with a bang.

n

nThe adjutants around him were all dumbfounded.

n

nBefore they could react, they saw the assailant quickly retreat and run out of the battlefield.

n

n“Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack! There’s an assassin!”

n

n“Sir… is dead…”

n

n“The Marshal is dead! !”

n

nPanicked shouts rang out one after another.

n

nIt immediately caused the originally orderly battlefield to become chaotic.

n

nHe Chuan secretly observed for a while.

n

nNot long after the news of Azure Dragon Marshal’s death spread.

n

nDeserters appeared.

n

nMoreover, the situation was getting worse and worse.

n

nIn just a few minutes, the number of people present had been reduced by half.

n

nApart from those who were entangled by the strange beasts, almost all of them had left this place.

n

n“Many of them are injured. They should be able to attract the beast tide over.”

n

nHe Chuan achieved his goal. He did not stay in the wilderness any longer and immediately brought his subordinates back to Glory City.

n

nThat night, the scouts sent news.

n

nA large group of beast hordes was going around Glory City. They were heading southeast from the forest at the side.

n

nThat was the direction where the Azure Dragon Legion was fleeing.

n

nAfter hearing this news.

n

nEveryone in Glory City smiled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

n

nThe City Lord saved their lives again!
