Chapter 497
Chapter 497 Who is the Most Ruthless?
"What, what wish?" Lord Lin's heart thumped wildly, a cascade of fear overtaking him.
Qin Xian'er was about to speak when she suddenly felt the ground tremble. Not far from the camp, thickets of lush trees suddenly burst into intense flames. Fanned by the wind, the fire rapidly spread toward the camp from both sides of the official road.
Remembering the prior arrangements, Xu Zhen broke into a cold sweat. ‘Had General Lin not awakened me with his words, we might have suffered untold casualties today,’ he thought.
The fire blazed intensely. Tents on the camp's periphery caught fire within moments. Over a hundred soldiers hurriedly pulled out water hoses to douse the flames.
"What should we do now, General?" Xu Zhen asked.
"Wait—" Lin Wanrong clenched his teeth. "The more dangerous the moment, the more crucial it is. Given their activities, I dare say this place must be a key route for Prince Cheng's escape. Xu Zhen, have our brothers form up. If enemies appear, attack immediately. Also, send a signal arrow to Mr. Xu; there are enemy movements to the south."
In the distance, the Divine Machine Unit's cannons roared, and countless crossbows launched a volley, blocking the more than two thousand black-clothed men attempting to infiltrate. The fire on both sides of the road intensified, sending thick smoke billowing into the sky and enveloping Lin Wanrong's camp. Within the glow of the fire, soldiers either fought the flames or rescued comrades, showing no signs of panic.
"General, look!" Xu Zhen cried out.
