Chapter 49: the Ogre’s Emergence
Han Kexin and the others unexpectedly returned, distracting Zhang Kai’s group and preventing their original plan of setting off the smoke inside the cave from being carried out.
Du Tao discovered the situation outside the cave with ecstasy. He and the others were becoming dizzy from all the smoke, so when he knew their teammates were coming back to rescue them, he became more energetic and informed the rest, “Zhao Dahai. Prepare to fight alongside the others, everyone; let’s get rid of these damned men!”
Zhao Hai raised his two-handed sword and shouted loudly: “Brothers, kill them all!”
He took the lead and rushed out of the cave, waving his two-handed sword and chopping down the few people guarding the cave’s entrance. His movements were quick and fierce as he made his way toward the exit, leaving no one standing in his path. Du Tao and others rushed out one by one, and the two sides fought fiercely against one another.
As the sun gradually moved down, the entire woods got covered by nighttime as it felt unusually quiet, yet the bursts of shouting and killing were exceptionally sharp in this part of the forest. The two sides were having one of their fiercest battles since they came to this world, where everyone got involved, including Jiang Xiaowen.
The number of people from both sides was roughly equal, and each side suffered casualties, but Han Kexin’s fighting power was clearly far superior to Zhang Kai’s subordinates. The cave was their basis for survival. Once occupied, not only will they lose all their supplies, they will even be forced to find another shelter elsewhere. Which was tantamount to slow destruction; this war can only be won and not lost. With this mentality in mind, they fought off the enemy invading their homeland; each one of the cave dwellers bravely defended the underground cave with all their might.
The number of people brought by Zhang Kai was rapidly dwindling as the siege intensified. In less than five minutes, their manpower was reduced by a full third.
“Damn it, why are these guys so powerful!”
Zhang Kai was shocked and furious, especially when he saw some of his elites falling. He had carefully built his army to be the strongest in the region, and seeing them weakened so quickly was a massive blow to his pride. He became even more furious, but he was entangled tightly by Jin Shi and Wang Chao, so he could only watch helplessly as his subordinates died one by one. Nurturing this large number of elites came at the expense of many more cannon fodder sacrifices. It was hard to imagine that the people in front of him were stronger than them in every aspect.
