Even though they knew the other side was the enemy, they began to admire her and were even unwilling to kick her when she was down.

“Zheng Quchi, don’t force me. You know what I want. I don’t even care about a mere six-nation military trial. If you weren’t here, I wouldn’t have come.” Mo Ye stared at her with wolf-like eyes.

Zheng Quchi led his troops to retreat step by step, while Mo Ye led his army to press closer step by step.

"I don't want to know why you came. I only know that I'm standing here so that the Ye army can win."

They were naturally not afraid of losing a match in the trial of the six states, because they could afford to lose. But what about the Ye army? The Ye army simply could not afford to lose. One wrong move and the whole game would be lost.

"You can't win, and the Ye army has even less chance of winning."

Mo Ye stopped in his tracks as a shadow fell over his eyes.

The moment he stopped, Zheng Quchi's heart seemed to freeze, and the blood in his body seemed to congeal at that instant.

"The Julu Army would rather die than surrender."

Her eyes widened, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose in her heart. She turned around abruptly and saw the captured Julu soldiers slashing at the Ye army's weapons, clearly intending to commit suicide.

Ye Jun was startled by his resolute attitude and trembled. He instinctively loosened his grip, but was pushed back and briefly broke free from his restraints.

At this moment, Mo Ye, as if blessed by the devil, revealed a sinister smile: "Zheng Quchi, you have ultimately underestimated the true strength of a nation's army on the battlefield. Where there is a goal, there is a mission. I don't need to do anything; they know what to do."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Quchi was overwhelmed by tension and fear, her mind went blank. It was too late... too late to catch the person again. A sharp shout escaped her throat: "Run!"

At the same time, Mo Ye's command rang out: "Fire—"

The Ye army turned around and ran frantically forward. They all knew that as long as they ran back to the Ye camp, they might still have a chance to survive. But no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't outrun the hidden weapons chasing them from behind.

Just as Zheng Quchi had predicted, the projectiles these people carried were not one-shot-per-unit, but four-shot-per-unit, and they were not crossbow bolts, but a specially made concealed weapon.

When it is first fired, it is a sharp weapon, but it will change shape due to the wind midway, forming a scattered flower shape. Once it pierces the human body, it will be upside down between the skin and flesh, making it impossible to pull off. If it hits a vital spot, it will kill instantly. If it hits other parts, its hollow design will cause the body to bleed continuously until the blood dries up and the person dies.

The viciousness of this weapon was unprecedented for Zheng Quchi. She watched as they shot into the bodies of the Ye soldiers one by one, burning her insides, yet she was helpless.

No, running away like this would be like handing our backs to the enemy for easy killing. What's the difference between that and giving up?

"Liu Chaiji, you lead the javelin throwers and join me in holding off the Julu army. The rest of you, hurry to the Ye camp to seek reinforcements!"

There are still more than two thousand men lying in ambush in their Ye camp. If they can obtain iron shields to block, and with their numbers increasing, they may not be without a chance of fighting.

"No, Lieutenant Zheng, you go with them!"

Liu Chaiji and the javelin throwers surrounded Zheng Quchi, using their javelins to deflect the hidden weapons. They spun their javelins, temporarily forming a barrier to facilitate the retreat of those behind them.

“I can’t leave.” Zheng Quchi stared at Mo Ye: “His target is me. Once I leave, nothing will be able to hold him back.”

They didn't know what relationship Zheng, the adjutant, had with Mo Ye of Julu Kingdom, but there was no point in her staying, since she couldn't fight anyway.

Zheng Quchi suddenly said, "I can fight."

She took a javelin from the backpack behind Liu Chaiji and threw it without any mercy in the direction of Mo Ye.

Mo Ye kept a close eye on Zheng Quchi's every move, as if nothing else on this battlefield was more important than her.

When she coldly and ruthlessly shot at him, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he chased Zheng Quchi on the riverbank. She was exceptionally fierce, standing at the bow of the boat, her eyes bright as cold blades. At that moment, he felt that she was stunningly beautiful, yet cruel enough to chill him to the bone.

In her eyes, all he saw was murderous intent directed at him.

Just like now, there was no warmth or tolerance in her eyes, only ruthlessness.

"She really wants me dead..."

The Zheng Quchi of my memory, who couldn't live without him, who loved him to the point of madness in private, is like a dream, completely gone.

Not long ago, when she had the chance to harm him time and time again, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it...

At that time, he could still clearly see that she had feelings for him.

But now, why can't he see it?

Mo Ye's lips were tightly pressed together, his face gleaming with an eerie light. His hands clenched into fists, and his body trembled as he laughed: "Zheng Quchi, you liar! Cooperating with me is a lie, saying you admire me is a lie. You've never uttered a single word of truth."

Hehehe... Mo Ye reached out and touched his chest, where the wound had been slow to heal and had almost cost him his life.

But in the end, he survived. Although his life was saved, he somehow developed feelings for this woman who had looked down on him.

He also felt that he was being pathetic, but he never wronged himself. Since he wanted her, why couldn't he have her?

Even if it meant using the most ruthless and vicious methods, he wanted her to submit to him.

"Shoot down the people in front of her!"

Originally, the Crimson Blood Army was only conducting a large-scale hunt against the Ye Army, not targeting any one person. However, Mo Ye's order meant that the person was doomed.
