Chapter 1126 Breaking out of a desperate situation
"Oh my god, what a scene!" Jiang Xue's heart shuddered, her adrenaline surged, and her nervousness instantly reached its maximum.
"Did the lord of this castle move all his belongings out?"
The enemy soldiers were wearing shiny armor and holding spears, looking like well-trained "human weapons" and looking very aggressive.
On the other hand, although everyone on Jiang Xue's side had extraordinary skills, they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, as if they were "hitting a rock with an egg", which made people sweat.
"Princess, be careful!" The captain of the personal guards reminded loudly, waving the scimitar in his hand like a "whirlwind top", and repelling the attacking enemies one by one.
Jiang Xue did not dare to delay. She drew out the soft sword from her waist and moved as fast as lightning through the enemy's formation.
With sharp eyes, she calmly observed the battle situation and looked for a breakthrough.
"When two brave men meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins!"
Jiang Xue shouted, and the sword flashed like a "laser", cutting through the air and going straight to the enemy's vital points.
On the battlefield, swords flashed and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
The sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and screaming intertwined together, like a "symphony of death", which was terrifying.
The soldiers led by Jiang Xue fought hard, but the enemy was numerous and we were few, and the situation became increasingly critical.
At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly broke through the air and headed straight for Jiang Xue.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
At the critical moment, one of Jiang Xue's personal guards rushed to Jiang Xue without hesitation and blocked the arrow for her.
"puff!"
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh was particularly harsh in the noisy battlefield.
Jiang Xue widened her eyes and looked at the captain of the personal guards who fell in her arms, her heart filled with shock and grief.
"Princess...go quickly!" The captain of the personal guards said weakly with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Xue hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"I won't leave! Let's go together!" she said firmly.
"I can't leave..."
The captain of the guards shook his head, his eyes gradually blurred: "Princess, remember to..."
His voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared in the deafening shouts and cries of killing.
Jiang Xue's heart felt as if it had been stabbed by a sharp knife, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe.
She slowly put down the body of the captain of the personal guards, stood up, and her eyes became extremely determined.
"Lord of the Castle, I, Jiang Xue, will avenge today's vengeance!"
She said through gritted teeth, her voice full of anger and murderous intent.
"Hahaha, girl, you're quite arrogant!" a cold voice came.
Jiang Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in gorgeous armor and with a sinister face riding a tall horse, slowly walking towards her.
"Are you the lord of the castle?" Jiang Xue asked coldly.
The castle lord smiled contemptuously: "Yes, it is me, Grandpa! Why, do you want to avenge your lover?"
Jiang Xue's soft sword danced like a snake, but she gradually became powerless on the battlefield where the enemy outnumbered her.
There was a bloody cut on her left arm, and the burning pain made her gasp.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the soldiers around him falling one after another.
The once lively faces were now shrouded in the shadow of death. The bright red blood dyed the land around the castle red. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, like the entrance to hell.
"Retreat! Retreat to the mountain path!" Jiang Xue shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice sounding particularly weak amid the sound of fighting.
She endured the severe pain in her body, swung her sword to drive back the approaching enemies, and cleared a bloody path for the soldiers behind her.
Fighting and retreating, Jiang Xue and his group fled in a panic towards the mountain path.
However, hope was ruthlessly shattered at the corner.
The narrow entrance to the mountain path was blocked by a group of burly men.
The leader, with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes, was the local tyrant of this mountain path - the leader of the horse caravan.
He wielded a shining broadsword in his hand, which reflected a chilling light in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Behind him followed a group of equally ferocious caravan minions, each armed with weapons, blocking Jiang Xue's only way of retreat.
"Hey, isn't this the princess? Why are you in such a mess?"
The leader of the caravan laughed sarcastically, his tone full of teasing and sarcasm, like a cat teasing its prey.
Jiang Xue's heart sank to the bottom, and a feeling of despair surged in her heart.
There were steep cliffs on both sides of the mountain road, with blockades in front and pursuers behind. They were like turtles in a jar, unable to escape.
"It seems that we are being attacked from both sides." Jiang Xue smiled bitterly and clenched the blood-stained soft sword in her hand.
The leader of the caravan laughed grimly: "If you know what's best for you, surrender and avoid being beaten!"
Jiang Xue stared at the leader of the caravan coldly and said word by word: "Dream on!"
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you! Brothers, come on!"
At the command of the caravan leader, the followers brandished their weapons and pounced on them like hungry wolves.
"etc,"
Just as the minions were about to take action, the leader of the caravan suddenly raised his hand to stop them: "I suddenly changed my mind."
His fleshy face was covered with a chilling smile, but his eyes were like poisonous knives, stabbing Jiang Xue fiercely.
"Her Highness is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a pity to kill her?"
He looked Jiang Xue up and down, his eyes seemed to be evaluating a commodity waiting to be sold: "How about it, Princess, if you follow me, I will guarantee you a good life?"
Jiang Xue almost couldn't help rolling her eyes. What era is this? Why are you still using this trick?
She calmed herself down and raised a meaningful smile: "Oh? Following you? What about your brothers? They are all counting on you to help them get rich."
The leader of the caravan was stunned, obviously not expecting Jiang Xue to ask such a question.
The minions behind him also began to whisper to each other.
"Boss, are you going to abandon us and enjoy the wealth and glory alone?"
"Bah, I still treat him as a brother!"
"That's right. If you follow Her Royal Highness the Princess, you might even be able to get a job!"
Jiang Xue keenly captured these subtle changes and was secretly delighted.
It seems that this caravan is not a united front, as each of them is a fence-sitter who goes with the flow.
She cleared her throat and raised her voice, saying, "Brothers, I, Jiang Xue, have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. If anyone is willing to lay down their weapons and help me out of this predicament, I promise that you will have a share of the glory and wealth in the future!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd suddenly became agitated.
Many of the caravan leaders began to hesitate, and the weapons in their hands gradually loosened.
After all, who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Instead of following a leader who only cares about money and forgets his principles, it is better to take a chance and follow Her Royal Highness the Princess!
The leader of the caravan was immediately panicked when he saw this.
He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't listen to her nonsense, you idiots! She is trying to sow discord! I will kill anyone who dares to betray me!"
However, his threats were already weak and powerless. The morale of the troops was low and it was difficult to lead them.
