On weekdays, I looked timid and obedient, but unexpectedly, I was deceived by him.

"You are responsible for protecting Lin Che's safety. How could you not know where he went?"

"I really don't know. Please forgive me, Your Highness!" Dao Nu bowed again, observing all the etiquette.

Jiang Shangwu suddenly sneered, "Come here—these Shadow Guards are incompetent and can't even protect the envoys. I suspect they're deliberately trying to kill them. Capture them all!"

"yes--"

Swish, swish, swish.

In an instant, the guards beside Jiang Shangwu flashed and appeared next to several shadow guards. They grabbed them fiercely and were about to take them down.

Dao Nu shouted angrily, "Your Majesty, we are the Shadow Guards. Aren't you really afraid of His Majesty's blame?"

"Hmph! The annihilation of the 30,000 Zhenyuan troops has already infuriated His Majesty. He doesn't care about this anymore. I advise you to cooperate. Don't force me to kill you all!"

Jiang Shangwu's true nature was also revealed at this moment.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't want to clash with the Shadow Guards. But now, all he wanted was to immediately recruit the 40,000 Divine Machine Battalion and capture Lin Che, thus making up for his losses.

As for capturing a few Shadow Guards, it is not a big deal at all.

"Dare to resist—Kill!!"

Bang bang bang!

Right in front of the city gate, a team of guards and several shadow guards fought fiercely.

Although the Shadow Guards have high enough cultivation, the guards around Prince Wu are also rare strong men. They are not at a disadvantage even in a one-on-one situation, not to mention that they are outnumbered now.

After a fierce battle, several Shadow Guards were all seriously injured and captured. Even the Sword Slave was surrounded by the three old men and could not escape.

"Dao Nu, you still want to resist? Then I'll kill one of your subordinates first."

"Your Highness—Lin Che has indeed left with his troops. It's been several days. The world is so vast, where can I go to find him for you?"

Jiang Shangwu leaned forward slightly: "You may not know where they are. But you should know where those villages are, right?"

"Tell me, if these 40,000 Shenji soldiers know that their village has been burned and killed, will they come back?"
