Chapter 160 Almost Annihilated
Prince Chang pointed at the men in black across from him and shouted, "Are you the ones who robbed the official's daughter, committed murder and arson, and so on?"
A masked man in black said without hesitation, "Yes, it's us. Haven't you been looking for us?"
"Now we have delivered it to you. Isn't it a surprise?"
"What? I'm standing right in front of you, but I don't dare to fight back. Are you trying to be a coward?"
King Chang glared angrily, holding the sword in his hand with an arrogant look on his face.
"You daring thief, you are so arrogant, you disregard the laws of the court and even dare to speak nonsense in front of me. Do you really think you can do whatever you want?"
"Today, I will bring all of you to justice! To uphold the dignity of our nation!..."
The masked man opposite was not afraid at all. He raised his neck, waved the long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Brothers, charge! The master said that those who kill the most enemies will be rewarded handsomely. Those who kill King Chang and King Qi will have a bright future. Charge!..."
When King Chang and King Qi heard the words of the man opposite them, they both looked disdainful.
They didn't expect that the person on the other side was so arrogant and wanted to kill the prince of the current dynasty. He was simply ignorant and shameless.
Moreover, they have two thousand Royal Guards, and those men in black on the opposite side are simply seeking death!
However, an unexpected scene soon appeared.
They saw more and more men in black on the opposite side, charging towards them bravely.
Prince Chang pointed his sword at the black-clad men across from him and shouted, "These are murderers and arsonists, unforgivable and vicious criminals. Kill them all..."
Prince Chang and Prince Qi were also unwilling to be outdone. They faced the men in black and charged forward with their royal guards.
Originally, King Chang and King Qi thought they had a sure victory, but gradually they fell into disarray.
The men in black from behind continued to pour in.
Their numbers gradually surpassed those of the Royal Guards.
Moreover, those men in black are extremely skilled in martial arts and extremely ferocious.
Thousands of people from both sides fought each other, and the shouts of killing shook the earth.
The refugees around were so frightened that they hid far away and did not dare to come near.
The two sides started fighting in the afternoon and it lasted for an hour, with countless casualties on both sides.
The Royal Guards suffered even more serious casualties, with more than half of their men killed or wounded. They were simply unable to withstand the repeated attacks and killings by the men in black.
The King of Qi was also seriously injured. One of his legs was cut and he could hardly stand. He bled a lot and looked extremely miserable.
Seeing that a group of men in black were coming towards him again, he had almost no chance of winning and no way to retreat.
He closed his eyes almost in despair.
There were only a handful of royal guards around the King of Qi, and they desperately resisted the continuous attacks of the men in black. Two guards saw that something was wrong, so one of them carried the King of Qi on his back and said to the other, "You protect me and His Highness and help us break through! We will retreat immediately!"
Another royal secret guard used all his strength to kill several men in black and cut a bloody path. He then rushed out of the encirclement with the King of Qi on his back, used his lightness skills, and with a few jumps, he disappeared without a trace.
Another secret guard also broke through the encirclement and followed King Qi.
At this time, Prince Chang, who was fighting fiercely with the masked man in black, was suddenly thrown into disarray when he saw Prince Qi running away, and he began to feel like retreating.
The current situation is that there are obviously many men in black, the enemy is strong and we are weak. If he continues to fight to the death, it will only lead to the deaths of more Royal Guards, which is meaningless.
Watching the royal guards being slaughtered without any resistance, their morale plummeted, and Prince Chang began to panic and waver.
An old man with great martial arts skills who had been protecting him advised, "Your Highness, the situation is not good. These men in black are not only numerous, but also highly skilled. The Royal Guards are no match for them."
"The Imperial Guards have been running around all day and haven't eaten anything. They're tired and hungry. They're no match for them. Why don't we retreat first?"
Originally, King Chang had also thought of retreating, but what the old man said was exactly what he wanted.
He immediately gave the order, "Everyone, retreat quickly! No need to fight any longer!"
Upon hearing the order to retreat, the Royal Guards fled in all directions like a pile of loose sand.
The men in black kept chasing them and killing them.
Soon, another two or three hundred Royal Guards were killed or wounded.
At this time, there were only about 500 royal guards left following Prince Chang, fleeing along the mountain path.
The man in black at the back looked at the Royal Guards fleeing in panic and laughed "Hahahaha", as if he was mocking them.
The Royal Guards led by Prince Chang did not even dare to look back. Like rabbits being chased, they fled at the maximum speed for fear of being caught.
The masked man in black looked at the Royal Guards running farther and farther away and ordered, "We are very familiar with the mountain roads here. Catching them will be as easy as an eagle catching chicks..."
"This is our territory, our world. Don't let them go! Chase them! Kill them all..."
When the men in black heard the order, they rushed forward as if they were injected with chicken blood, and followed the direction of the Royal Guards' escape.
Swear to fight until death.
The Royal Guards led by King Chang were running in front, looking for a place to hide, hoping to avoid being hunted down.
The man in black behind was chasing closely.
Once someone is unable to run or is left alone, they will be caught up by the men in black and killed without a word.
When the Royal Guards were exhausted from running, they still couldn't shake off the pursuit of the men in black.
The advantage of the men in black was too obvious. They knew the terrain like the back of their hands. When they saw the direction in which King Chang and his men were escaping, they would send people to go around to the front to snipe them, or cut in through the road to pursue them.
The Royal Guards were often chased to the point where they had no way to escape.
This resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of the Imperial Guards.
Another hour passed, and there were only a mere two hundred or so Royal Guards left, and many of them were seriously injured. They were running out of breath, having lost both the ability to escape and the strength to fight, and could only be slaughtered.
The Royal Guards fell into endless despair.
Someone with a quick mind suggested, "It's getting dark now. We can disperse and flee to where there are more refugees. Once we're among the crowd, we can quickly hide."
"Then, find a way to change into the Royal Guards' clothes. Maybe I can survive by chance!"
"That's a good idea!"
Many people agreed.
At the last moment, we had no other choice but to try our best. We also felt that this method might give us a glimmer of hope.
I have no choice but to take this approach. As for whether I can survive, it all depends on my luck.
