Chapter 370: Clash (2)
It was unlike those rescued women and children, who indeed didn’t have much means of retaliating when facing several hulking human traffickers.
However, these young and middle-aged men before their eyes could clearly retaliate and save themselves, but they scattered blindly to flee, which allowed the people riding horses to catch up and behead them in the end.
To tell the truth, our dear Qiao Mu really didn’t want to save people who had completely lost their will to fight.
Yet, this kindhearted Princess Mi intervened resolutely with the force of a thunderbolt!
Three to four more of Princess Mi’s remaining fifty plus royal guards got injured during their confrontation with the cavalry.
After ten days of long-distance marching, the royal guards’ strength was actually long exhausted. However, they could only brace themselves to confront the armored tribal cavalry because they had no way to oppose Princess Mi’s order.
They were not like Princess Mi who had the Earth-Splitting Bear as a mount. The royal guards had all truly ran to Shuw.a.n.g City for real.
Fortunately, they had Gong Sunyang, this expert, among them, and they finished eliminating the eight cavalries before long.
It was just that before they could catch their breaths, a series of falcons’ sharp cries could be heard coming from the distant horizon.
Doya clenched her hands as her expression changed slightly. “Akedo Tribe’s Tercel Squadron is coming!”
At the top of the city gate tower, a middle-aged city guard general quickly walked to the front with an extremely foul expression.
The general raised his head to watch the Tercel Squadron flying over from far away while holding onto the railing on the city wall. He was so angry that he wanted to curse. “Who are the people down there? They actually attracted the Akedo Tercel Squadron over! They’re absolutely shameful! Hurry and inform City Lord Luge!”
“General, what do we do now?”
“Do nothing at all! As long as Shuw.a.n.g City’s city gate is not threatened, let them fight as they please!” The middle-aged general scoffed and raised his head to look at the pitch-black Tercel Squadron soaring over.
The squadron consisted of 12 hawks, and each hawk’s back had two to three people standing on it!
Once they were near Shuw.a.n.g City’s entrance, the people on the hawks’ backs started hurling sharpened bamboo at the crowd below.
“Swish, swis.h.!.+” The sound of wind swept past their ears.
One of Princess Mi’s bodyguards couldn’t escape in time. The sharp bamboo pierced through his left shoulder, and he let out a horrific scream before weakly falling to the ground.
Thereafter, several other sharpened bamboo that were hurled over penetrated his waist and head, killing him on the spot.
“Outrageous!” Mo Lian pulled the little girl into his embrace and flung his sleeve to flick away several incoming sharpened bamboo. His handsome face darkened immediately.
“Are you alright?” He lowered his head to caress the little girl’s face.
Qiao Mu: ‘What problem could this darling have?’
“A gang of blind barbarians!” Yang Xirong struck the plummeting sharpened bamboo to one side and scolded lividly.
“Ah!” Princess Mi was suddenly toppled to the ground by Gong Sunyang, and she felt her scalp hurting faintly. It turned out that a sharpened bamboo had swished past.
“This d*mned guy!” Princess Mi shouted angrily, “What are these city guards doing; why aren’t they opening the city gate? I’m going to have Royal Father dispatch troops to beat them to death!”
“Save your efforts, Princess.” Wei Nanfeng jeered, “At this time, the city guard will only sit back and watch the tigers fight, only coming out to reap the rewards when both sides are exhausted. How is it possible for them to open the city gate?”
“How abominable! Even with our ident.i.ties, they won’t open the city gate?” Princess Mi crawled up and clenched her fists wrathfully. She only felt that when she dropped to the ground just now, she got soiled all over! Right now, her eyes weren’t eyes, her nose wasn’t a nose. She only felt her entire body being tormented.
“Please, Princess! You are the princess of the Southern Xiao Kingdom. I am the prince of Northern Wei! They totally do not border this western region’s territory at all! Tell me how you are going to have them open the city gate in this situation!”
“Ah!” Xiao Mi shrieked.
