Chapter 529 - 508 Second Update
"My lord—" A soldier bravely stepped forward, intending to grab Deputy General Lin. Faintly behind, there seemed to be a cliff; Deputy General Lin in such a state was bound to fall off.
But before the soldier’s hand could touch Deputy General Lin, Deputy General Lin had already shouted loudly, swinging his sword directly at the soldier. The soldier, unprepared, was struck directly on the shoulder by the sword, and screamed in agony as blood sprayed from his shoulder. Deputy General Lin showed no signs of stopping, as the second and third strikes of his sword immediately followed.
"My lord—" Two other soldiers quickly caught up. In the darkness, they could only see vague shadows; just two steps forward, something hot splashed on their faces. One soldier reached out to touch it, and the sweet and metallic taste suddenly made them realize what it was...
As another soldier reached out, suddenly feeling something flying toward him, he instinctively reached out to catch it. The next moment, warm liquid flowed from the object in his hand. Touching it, he realized it was an ear, and immediately screamed, throwing the object away.
"Murder, murder, help—" The images flashing before the soldier’s eyes were of bandits breaking into his home, and he immediately charged at Deputy General Lin.
Suddenly, the scene was thrown into chaos, with cries of "Fire—" and "Robbery—"
The next moment, all sounds were drowned in the darkness, leaving no trace of noise.
In the midst of the night, the troop slowly advanced, only the sound of marching feet being heard. They only waited for the moment of dawn when a streak of light pierced the darkness, scattering golden light; the troop suddenly stopped.
"General, General—" A soldier rushed over, his face displaying indescribable panic, shouting from the front to the back of the column. All the soldiers looked exhausted, just as they were about to pass through the last mountain road and reach the other side where they could rest as a group.
But clearly, something had gone wrong, and everyone halted.
General Wen Sheng, at the rear of the column, sat on his horse, faintly seeing the hurried soldier approaching. Behind that soldier, several more hurriedly followed, a situation that looked extraordinarily eerie.
