After tearing off his armor, Caesar struggled to pull out a long wooden box from the inside of the back of the armor. There was no doubt that this long wooden box was a gun box. Fortunately, Caesar had such a huge body, otherwise, how could he hide this box that was nearly five cubits long and one and a half cubits wide without any flaws.

As soon as Woolley saw the box, he believed it because it was the rifle he left for Shelley in the Green Building. If this was the case, it was no wonder that Caesar carried it with him.

"Great, do you have any bullets?" Woolley asked as he pulled Helen between Caesar and Pompey.

"Come, bandage her." Wu Lai took off his robe and threw it to Pompey. Pompey glanced at Helen, sighed softly, and began to tear Wu Lai's robe to make a bandage.

"Master, I don't know." Caesar opened the box hastily, "Look for yourself."

"Okay, lie down and don't move." Wu Lai grabbed the rifle and magazine in the box. Before he finished speaking, Epicurus' cry of pain came along with the sound of gunfire.

"Come on! You bastards!" Epicurus's hand covering his left waist was already bloody, but the dagger in his right hand was still stubbornly pointing at the attacker who was slowly approaching in front of him, "If you dare, I will fight you hand-to-hand!"

Oh my god, are you stupid? He's holding a gun and will fight you? ! Wu Lai quickly loaded the magazine while muttering in his heart. Although they had only met a few times and had not met for a long time, he knew that Epicurus was indeed brave and brave, but he was a stubborn donkey in his bones. Even eight horses couldn't pull him back when he was stubborn. Fortunately, the shooting frequency and accuracy of the attacker were not high, so he was able to keep talking. If Wu Lai was the one shooting, Epicurus would have been beaten by Luo Shen long ago.

In a flash, the magazine was loaded, and Wu Lai threw his body forward, completing the prone position movement that was so skillful that it was almost instinctive in the previous memory. Then, he set the gun, aimed, and fired in one go.

"Bang", after a crisp gunshot, one of the attackers fell down immediately, and the huge gun fell heavily to the ground. His companion trembled in fear and quickly lay on the ground. At the same time, Epicurus' body suddenly leaned back, and a large amount of blood splashed on his chest and abdomen...

"General Epicurus!" A scarlet-robed priest exclaimed and caught Epicurus's falling body.

"Bang!" Wu Lai fired the second bullet, and the attacker closest to the wooden table fell headfirst.

"Bang!" After the third person fell, all the attackers subconsciously stopped moving forward.

"High Priest! They are lying down too! Be careful!" a scarlet-robed priest shouted a warning.

"Retreat quickly!" Wu Lai rolled over and fired the fourth bullet. Then he quickly crawled five steps to the left and pulled the trigger. The fifth attacker fell to the ground.

"Bang!", the sixth one...

Although Wu Lai's firing rhythm was not fast, the amazing hit rate of one person being shot and falling to the ground for every shot also frightened the attackers. After the horses were scared away and escape became difficult, the surviving guards quickly gathered the overturned chairs together to form a small temporary fortification, and then began to rescue the wounded and move the bodies away...

"Bang!" The attacker's counterattack passed by Wu Lai's right shoulder, knocking down the two guards in motion and scraping Wu Lai's shoulder. But Wu Lai didn't care about anything else at this time. After two beautiful rolls and evasions, he hid most of his body behind a table leg that was nearly two elbows wide. With a pull of his left hand, the empty magazine left the gun body. He took out another magazine from his belt with his backhand and pressed it. The bolt "clicked" and the bullet was loaded.

"Caesar, are there any bullets left in the box?!" Wu Lai asked anxiously. After knocking down six people, there were still twelve attackers in his field of vision, but he only had six bullets left in this magazine.

"Master, there is nothing else in the box! You should hide behind it quickly!" Caesar rummaged into the box twice and answered loudly.

Damn it, I should have opened the magazine to twelve bullets. A trace of regret passed through Wu Lai's heart.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The attackers fired again, but this time they were not aiming at Wu Lai, but at the last two people in Helen's entourage.

My own people are doing it, and they are even more evil than me! Wu Lai spat fiercely, raised his gun, and pulled the trigger - "Bang!"

…

When the vulture saw the crooked awning, the rising smoke and the wounded crawling slowly on the ground from afar, his heart sank.

What he was most worried about at the moment was Wu Lai's safety, because in his mind, everything he had was given by Wu Lai, and the best reward he could give to Wu Lai was loyalty and protection. But now Wu Lai was in danger, what if something unexpected happened...

"Charge! Charge forward with all your might! Trample the enemy to death!" Vulture roared and drew his sword.

"Yes!" Amid the sound of horse hooves, the response was as loud as thunder.

"Master! The Vultures are here!" Caesar shouted happily.

"Got it!" Wu Lai laughed, rolled backwards, stood up and ran a few steps, then did a clean somersault and landed right between Caesar and Helen behind the "chair fortifications". Then he raised his gun, moved the muzzle slightly, and fired the last bullet. After a crisp "bang", another attacker fell down.

At this moment, the sound of the vulture cavalry's hooves was getting closer...

"What weapon do you have? A gun?" Helen had been bandaged. Her face looked pale and her brows were deeply furrowed. It was obvious that in addition to losing a lot of blood, the pain from the wound was also making her very tormented.

"Yes, for now, there is only one gun in the world, and it's my personal gun." Wu Lai smiled slightly, and after a slight hesitation, he added, "When I was about to fight you, Kayikede, this gun was also there, but I gave up the idea of ​​shooting you at the last moment."

After a moment of shock, Helen felt an unspeakable bitterness in her heart - on that day of the fight, she finally chose to kill Wu Lai, but Wu Lai, who held such a sharp weapon, let her go...

"Since you can make one, you must be able to mass-produce it. Why not?" Helen didn't know what else to say to Wu Lai besides this. For some reason, she especially wanted to talk to Wu Lai now, because it would make her feel at ease. As for what would happen in the future, it didn't matter. At least at this moment, Wu Lai would be as kind to her as before.

"Of course there are reasons for not building it." Wu Lai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Helen, it seems that your control over your Tianjuan Empire is much weaker than you think. There is no need for me to say anything more about today's situation."

"I..." Helen sighed heavily, "I'm sorry. To be honest, I wanted to have peace with you Assyria for a while."

"I know that your plan is to tear up the agreement when your strength is almost gathered." Wu Lai shrugged, "But now it seems that your plan is just a part of someone else's plan, and that person is not afraid of going to war with Assyria. Can you guess who he is?"

Helen nodded slightly and was about to say Adolf's name when Vulture and others rode closer on horseback.

"Charge! Kill them all!" Vulture reined in his horse and pointed his sword fiercely in front of him. He then dismounted and ran towards Wu Lai.

"Lord, that's great, I'm glad you're okay." When Vulture saw that Wu Lai was safe and sound, he was filled with excitement and joy.

"Your timely arrival saved my life." Wu Lai glanced at the dozen attackers who were already thirty steps away and were now scared away by the vulture cavalry. He smiled and waved his hand, "Don't waste time here. Capture two of them alive!"

"Yes, sir!" The vulture nodded, stood up and ran back to his horse.

"Take me with you, General Vulture!" Caesar had just struggled to stand up when Pompey pulled him back.

"Where are you going to run with all these injuries? The bandages haven't been done yet. Besides, is there a horse that can carry you?" Pompey said while busying himself.

…

When Adolf saw through the telescope that the Vulture's cavalry were chasing and killing the fleeing people, he raised a cold smile and said, "Close the gate of the fortress and be on full alert!"

"King Xiaoyao, His Majesty is still here..." the deputy general guarding the pass said hurriedly, but he had only said half of his words when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back and chest at the same time. He subconsciously lowered his head and saw a bloody sword tip piercing his chest.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No wonder you...just now..." The commander guarding the gate had just raised his right arm halfway when a gust of wind passed by his ear. With a dull "puff" sound, a sharp sword cut through his neck.

Adolf glanced coldly at the head still rolling on the ground: "No wonder I asked you to stay put just now, right? Humph, you are so loyal to your majesty, then go and accompany her."

"Your Highness, please instruct us on the next course of action." After the two lieutenant generals who had ambushed the main general guarding the pass sheathed their swords, they bowed to Adolf at the same time.

"Didn't I just say that we should close the gates of the fortress and be on full alert? We have to calm down the country first before we can resist the enemy." Adolf laughed and glanced at the two generals with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "You are indeed good sons and nephews of the Hitt family. You two have been wronged for so many years."

"I will do anything to serve the family." The leading deputy general responded loudly, and the other one immediately agreed.

"Okay, you two must guard this pass well. Don't let the Assyrians get close for at least six months. I have transported the artillery to you. If you still can't hold it, you will disappoint me greatly." Adolf said with a smile.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness." The two generals bowed quickly.

"The king is very relieved." Adolf waved his sleeves, turned around and walked quickly towards the stairs. Under his planning, Helen brought nearly half of the civil and military officials in the court to participate in the signing of the agreement today. Naturally, most of them were important people from the Avram family and the Petra family. Now those who were traveling with Helen can no longer come back, and the rest of them, of course, should also be "dealt with"...

…

"My lord, General Epicurus died in the line of duty after his treatment failed. His subordinates are now in some chaos, and they are all clamoring to go out and attack the Tianjuan Pass. My lord, please tell us what should we do?" asked the Vulture.

"Who is the deputy commander of the Ninth Division?" Wu Lai asked with a frown.

"Moti and Kirill, Moti is a Hurrian and Kirill is a Kimoan." Vulture naturally knew.

"Let them come to see me immediately," said Wu Lai.

"Yes, lord. Also... I have sent nearly a hundred guards to the place where Emperor Tianjuan is imprisoned, but many soldiers keep approaching there, saying that they want to kill Emperor Tianjuan and avenge the dead. Lord, do you think we should relocate or send more people?" Vulture asked again.

"Detained? Did I say detained? I just asked you to send some people to watch over her." Wu Lai frowned.

"I'm sorry, Lord." The vulture lowered his head quickly.

"Bring her to me. She is a wounded person. If she is in shackles or something, remove them. Also, notify everyone that anyone who dares to make noise or disturb others outside my residence will be treated as a mutiny." Wu Lai said with a straight face.

"Yes, lord, I'll do it right away." Vulture bowed and promised.

"Go ahead." Wu Lai waved his hand, turned around and walked to the bedside, and put the cleaned rifle back into the gun box...

…

"Thank you for saving me, thank you for removing my shackles." Helen looked listless, her face more haggard than before. "Can you tell me what you plan to do with me?"

"I don't know yet." Wu Lai smiled slightly, "After all, there is no precedent for this kind of thing."

Helen was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, the first emperor in the history of the continent was actually betrayed by his subjects..."

"I know what it feels like to be betrayed. It's... very uncomfortable." After sighing softly, Wu Lai continued, "For safety reasons, I will take you back to Assyria early tomorrow morning. Although the doctor said that you can't be moved due to your injuries, there is no other way. Your traitor has acted like this, and Assyria must respond appropriately."

"I have no objection." Helen shook her head gently. "Although you may not believe it, I feel very safe around you."

Helen's words made Wu Lei silent for a moment, and hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Hatra is in the fortress now, do you want to see him?"

"Do you want me to see him?" Helen looked at Wu Lai...
