Chapter 331 - 271, Transfer
Heavenly Strategy Army!
Behind the counter, soldiers clad in black armor continuously emerged from the secret passage, one by one, ten, twenty, and still there were more to come.
An armored soldier, annoyed by the counter, wielded a broadsword and chopped the counter to pieces.
Another armored soldier, finding the entrance to the passage too small, simply started hacking at the wooden floor.
After several chops, half of the hall’s floor collapsed downward, expanding the originally one-person passage to reveal more waiting armored soldiers inside.
The smooth, scale-like armor of the Heavenly Strategy Army soldiers glistened, and the densely packed armored soldiers below resembled beetles, making Chen Ji’s scalp tingle.
Zhang Zheng murmured, "So many?"
The shopkeeper of Dragon Gate Inn had not lied; there was truly a secret passage leading outside the city here, but this passage was no longer a route of escape—it was a death trap!
At that moment, the surface-reached Heavenly Strategy Army soldiers charged towards the stairs, and the local Yulin Army soldiers roared, "Protect His Highness," drawing their long swords to guard the staircase.
Chen Ji, caught in a dilemma on the stairs, turned around and led Zhang Xia, Chen Wenzong, and others upstairs, kicking open a door on the second floor to rush inside.
In the room, Chen Liqin and Mrs. Liang’s expressions changed: "Chen Ji? What’s going on, what’s this clamor of killing outside?"
