Chapter 508 The underworld reappears to kill King Xu!
"Gee!"
"Gee!"
More than a hundred riders galloped on the ancient road. The leader looked depressed. The knights behind him also had tattered armor, and some even had several eye-catching scars!
"Luo Yuan!"
"Here!"
"This time, my king returned in disgrace, and all his soldiers were annihilated. In your opinion, what are the gains and losses?"
"Your Majesty!"
The young general called Luo Yuan pondered for a moment, quickened his pace and walked side by side with King Xu, and said loudly: "In my opinion, this may not be a great time to retire after success!"
"Now, the princes are gathering at Jiuchongguan, and the Dali Kingdom is at the gates of the city. It is bound to be a fierce battle!"
"The Dali cavalry is far superior to us in terms of combat power and armor and weapons. We may not be able to gain any advantage by fighting with them."
"Yes!"
King Xu actually showed a smile on his face. After looking at Luo Yuan, he smiled lightly and said: "This time, the king brought out all the surrendered soldiers recruited from Xijue. Leaving them in our army will only be a disaster!"
"Now, we can use Dali's hand, Solve this hidden danger, retreat now, and let all the princes have nothing to say! "
"Even, you owe me a favor, this deal is worth it!"
King Xu smiled particularly brightly, and continued: "Besides, now all the princes are gathered at Jiuchongguan, and I can make some plans after I go back. If Dali can attack, it will be even better."
"The King of Qi is powerful, but he is the first to bear the brunt. If all the troops brought by the princes can be left behind, it will be like God's help."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Luo Yuan also showed some admiration on his face. After a moment, he asked again: "Your Majesty, now we only have more than a hundred cavalry under our command. Will the King of Chu attack us at this time? "
"Don't worry!"
King Xu showed a hint of pride on his face, and said lightly: "My king has already I have made arrangements in advance. Forty miles ahead, I have hidden three thousand elite armors, and they will return with us when the time comes. "
"Your Majesty has made every possible plan. I admire you!"
"Luo Yuan, you must remember that the King of Chu is not worthy of being my enemy. At best, he is just a stepping stone. The one I fear the most is the King of Qi!"
"The King of Qi?"
Luo Yuan showed a hint of doubt on his face, while King Xu showed a bit of solemnity on his face. He nodded slightly and said, "Behind the King of Qi... is that sect!"
"There is a dense forest ahead, so let the brothers be alert."
"Yes!"
More than a hundred riders rushed into the ancient road in the dense forest. Luo Yuan looked at both sides with vigilant eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this dense forest is quite strange."
"No problem!"
King Xu said calmly, "When we come out, we will go at full speed. Turn back, even if the King of Chu intends to do something wrong, he will not be faster than us. "
"Swoosh!"
A sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a cold light suddenly shot towards the figure of King Xu. Luo Yuan's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Prince, be careful!"
"Clang!"
A sound of a sharp blade coming out of its sheath sounded, and King Xu's eyes were filled with coldness. He slashed out with a sword and directly chopped off the incoming arrows, and shouted: "Who dares to ambush me here?"
"Protect the prince!"
"Quick!"
Luo Yuan also raised the long sword in his hand, guarding King Xu tightly, and said solemnly: "Prince, this jungle is too dense, why don't we retreat for the time being?"
"No!"
King Xu shook his head directly and said in a deep voice: "This is the only way to return. The longer it is delayed, the more changes there will be. Send the order, pass it at full speed. "
"Yes! "
At Luo Yuan's command, the knights behind him all sped up, and there seemed to be no movement in the dense forest, and everything returned to calm.
"Your Highness, it should be an assassin, who retreated quickly after missing the attack!"
"Don't be careless!"
King Xu's expression became more and more solemn. He held the reins in one hand and looked into the jungle, and said in a deep voice: "Since they have decided to take action, how could it be so simple?"
"But I can't guess who it is for the time being!"
"Your Highness, only the princes know the news of our return journey, and among the princes, only the King of Chu will fight to the death with us, so the possibility of the King of Chu is naturally the greatest!"
"Hmm!"
King Xu's eyes became very deep, but he didn't continue to speak.
"Swoosh!"
Another sound of breaking through the air sounded, but this time it was not just one, but an overwhelming rain of arrows coming from all directions. Unprepared, the knights behind King Xu fell off their horses.
"Defend against the enemy! "
"Prince, be careful!"
"Rush into the forest and kill the assassin!"
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, a team of knights rushed into the forest waving their weapons. Not long after, the sound of breaking through the air gradually stopped, followed by screams.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
A series of iron chains swept out from the forest and directly wrapped around the ancient trees on the roadside, completely blocking the cavalry guarding King Xu. Dozens of black clothes stepped on the iron chains and held three-foot short swords in their hands!
King Xu was startled when he saw the black clothes. They were all wearing veils, black cloths on their feet, and black cloaks. Each of them held a short sword and walked on the iron chains. There was no sound when they swayed!
"Prince!"
"Don't worry, listen to my orders!"
"Kill them together. "
Luo Yuan's expression was particularly solemn. These killers were full of murderous aura. It was obvious that they had been through many battles, and their lightness skills were far beyond the reach of ordinary masters. Although the knights beside the prince were also elites drawn from the personal guard camp, they were still soldiers after all!
"Kill!"
The black-clothed leader uttered a word coldly without any extra words, and there was no emotion in his pupils. He looked at the knights as if he was looking at a group of dead things.
"Puff!"
"Ah!!"
"Protect the king!"
"Quick, kill them!"
The group of black-clothed rushed to the front of the formation, and their bodies flashed, accompanied by flashes of cold light. The war horses neighed, and their legs were directly cut off, and they fell down.
In a short moment, there were only more than ten knights left beside King Xu, and eye-catching knife marks appeared on various vital parts of the human body, most of which were fatal!
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in the heart of King Xu, and his eyes were fixed on the black-clothed leader: "Although I don't know who you are, I know that you are definitely not the King of Chu's men!"
"There will never be such elites under the command of the King of Chu, otherwise..."
"Hehe!"
King Xu smiled as if he was mocking himself, and seemed to realize that he had no chance of survival.
"Can you tell me who sent you here?"
"Even if it means death, can you let me be a ghost who knows?"
The black-clothed people seemed to be a group of emotionless puppets. No one answered him, and they didn't even look at him. They just kept harvesting the knights around King Xu!
