Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "Sir, I think I'm the victim here. Ninety of our guards were killed while the mercenaries ran away. How can you say that I'm retaliating? "
The heavy infantry coldly snorted and said, "Don't waste your breath. Someone found out that those mercenaries were dead. I suspect that you killed them. Come with us."
Zhao looked at the soldier and coldly said, "I called you Sir Soldier, but you don't know what's good for you. I seem to be a noble, a recognized noble in the continent. Why would you ask me to question you? Let me tell you, hurry up and get out of here. Otherwise, I'll kill you in vain."
The soldier's aura turned cold, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "If you don't want to cooperate, then don't blame me for not being a guest …" Before he could finish, Zhao Hai had already sent a fireball over. Then he looked at the soldier and said, "Don't waste your breath. If it was me, I would've already made my move. Shue, kill them." Shue complied, then his doppelgangers rushed towards the heavy infantry outside the shop.
The heavy infantry didn't think that Zhao Hai would actually make a move. They weren't prepared yet, these heavy infantry weren't suitable for capturing people in the city. Their armor was too thick, making it very inconvenient for them to move. If the people they wanted to capture ran away, then they wouldn't be able to catch up.
If heavy infantry were to be used in war, then they could be said to be moving walls. Even if they encountered heavy cavalry, they would still be able to fight back. However, their usual movement speed was nothing to be proud of.
The heavy infantry that was talking to Zhao Hai was directly killed by Zhao Hai's fireball. Shue instantly sent out 1000 doppelgangers, and these doppelgangers appeared beside the heavy infantry. The heavy infantry wanted to move, but their armor was too thick, making it hard for them to turn around. The heavy infantry were easily killed by Shue's doppelgangers.
Maybe it was because the city lord knew that there was going to be a battle here, so the nearby streets were under martial law. Because of this, nobody was able to see the battle. While Zhao Hai had Shue deal with the heavy infantry, he also had Shun deal with the shop assistants.
Yesterday, in order to deal with Zhao Hai, no one stayed in the shop. Those who stayed in the shop were mercenaries in disguise. After the operation failed, those mercenaries retreated. Therefore, there were no innocent people in the shop. Even the shop owner's family was sent away.
It didn't take long for Shun to deal with the shop owner and the others. Meanwhile, the heavy infantry were dealt with by Shue. When Zhao Hai saw this, he immediately waved his hand and turned all the dead into undead. Then he had Shun prepare a carriage and quickly left the city.
Throughout the entire process, Ruyen saw it with her own eyes. She was really scared, there were nearly 1000 heavy infantry. Adding on the people in the shop, that was a total of 1000 people. Zhao Hai actually killed them all, this gave her a huge shock.
This small city was very small. Before long, Zhao Hai's group arrived outside the city. This time, all the carriages followed Zhao Hai. The carriages that Ruyen brought could only follow behind Zhao Hai's carriage. Ruyen sat in her carriage while Jill drove the carriage.
Zhao Hai didn't care about Ruyen, he turned to Shue and said, "Shue, since Ruyen isn't going to Carson City, we also don't need to go. Let's change our route and go directly to Sky Water City."
Shue nodded and changed their route. Carson City was Lionheart's domain, if Zhao Hai and the others went to Kahn City, it would be no different than sending sheep to the tiger's den. Zhao Hai wouldn't do that.
Originally, he thought that Lionheart would have some misgivings about Ruyen's identity and wouldn't deal with her. No matter what, Ruyen was still a Duchy's princess. But he didn't think that Lionheart would directly make a move on Ruyen. In this case, if Zhao Hai still allowed Ruyen to go to Carson City, then it would be the same as sending Ruyen to her death.
Zhao Hai also knew that as long as they were in Rosen Empire's territory, it would be impossible to hide their whereabouts. Therefore, he didn't hide his whereabouts. However, he didn't enter Rosen Empire's city to rest, he just stayed outside the city.
For the next few days, Zhao Hai and the others rested in the wilderness. In fact, in the continent, there were a lot of people like them who rested outside at night. Therefore, for ordinary people, Zhao Hai and the others weren't that special.
But only Zhao Hai and the others knew about this special place. These days, almost every night, there would be people attacking them. Sometimes it was mercenaries, sometimes it was guards from nearby cities. In any case, there wasn't a single moment of peace.
Zhao Hai was also used to this. Every day, they would sleep inside the carriage during the day. At night, they would fight with those people. In any case, they would fight all the way, scaring Ruyen.
Along the way, Zhao Hai used seven days to find a city with a Shelley Hotel. Moreover, in these seven days, Zhao Hai managed to kill nearly 5000 people.
Looking at Zhao Hai turning groups of people into undead, Ruyen couldn't help but feel scared. At the same time, Zhao Hai's reputation as a devil was solidified in her heart.
Zhao Hai was also very impatient. He didn't enter the city because he didn't want Lionheart to use his influence to deal with him. He didn't want to have a direct conflict with Rosen Empire's influence, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to get anything good out of it.
Although Zhao Hai was being attacked by Lionheart, there were still a lot of City Lords involved. However, Rosen Empire didn't issue an arrest warrant for Zhao Hai. This was very important for Zhao Hai.
As long as he didn't have this warrant, he wouldn't just be an enemy of the entire Rosen Empire. Even if Grand Duke Lionheart's strength was too strong and his influence was too big, he would still have enemies. The reason why he was so crazy about Zhao Hai was nothing more than to establish his prestige. He wanted people to understand that those who provoke him wouldn't have a good ending.
However, Lionheart didn't even dream that Zhao Hai would turn out to be a hard bone to chew. He sent a lot of people, as well as City Lords to help him. In the end, he still couldn't eliminate Zhao Hai. Now, Zhao Hai was like a thorn in Lionheart's side. As long as Zhao Hai was alive, Lionheart would feel this thorn in his side. The people around him looked at him with ridicule, blaming him for not being able to deal with a single person.
Lionheart was too favored these past few years. This made Lionheart very arrogant. He considered everyone beneath him and offended a lot of people. These people were waiting to see him become a joke.
Lionheart also neglected another problem, which was the issue of Rosen Empire's Emperor. Yes, Lionheart and the Emperor were good friends. Even before the current Emperor became the Emperor, they were already good friends. Moreover, the reason why the current Emperor was able to ascend the throne was because of Lionheart. If it wasn't for Lionheart's full support, the current Emperor wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly.
It was because of this that when the Emperor ascended the throne, he favored Lionheart very much. He even promoted him to the position of Minister of Finance. Because of this favor, Lionheart became more and more arrogant, more and more overbearing.
But he forgot one thing, he was only a subject. The Emperor was the only master of this country. A King would do anything for his throne. Even if Lionheart was his best friend, his best assistant, and he could be said to be indebted to Lionheart, when Lionheart began to threaten his throne, he wouldn't be polite.
This time, when Lionheart dealt with Zhao Hai, he only released a message, but there were already a lot of City Lords helping him. This showed how big his influence was. But the bigger his influence was, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Emperor's rule. Lionheart didn't realize this point, he was still thinking about dealing with Zhao Hai.
Lionheart's enemies didn't let go of this point. From time to time, some people would report Lionheart's actions to the Emperor. Although these reports were kept secret by the Emperor and Lionheart wasn't reprimanded, these people knew that the Emperor had begun to pay attention to Lionheart.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't know about this. He was still worried about dealing with Lionheart's attacks every day. These days, Lionheart's attacks were getting fiercer and fiercer. This made it very difficult for Zhao Hai to deal with them. He couldn't just release hundreds of thousands of undead to start a war with the Rosen Empire. If he did that, the entire Rosen Empire would come after him.
That night, Zhao Hai and the others were resting in the wilderness, preparing to deal with Lionheart's attacks. Zhao Hai and the others were sitting outside their tents, eating mutton and drinking mutton soup. In this winter, such food was the best, it was warm and resistant to hunger.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Shun and said, "Shun, go and invite Princess Ruyen over, tell her that I have something to tell her." Shun complied and then went towards Ruyen's tent.
These days, Ruyen was very well-behaved. Every night when it was time to rest, she would lead her two maids and Jill to hide inside her tent. She would only come out at dawn, making it so that Zhao Hai couldn't see her face.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care, Ruyen's behavior was better, he didn't need to worry about her. He really didn't like dealing with Ruyen.
Before long, Ruyen's group of four followed Shun out of Zhao Hai's tent. In front of Zhao Hai's group was a bonfire, but because it was winter and they were outside, they couldn't feel any warmth.
Zhao Hai looked at Ruyen and calmly said, "Your Highness, we'll be passing by River Law City tomorrow. River Law City is a big city of Rosen Empire, there should be a Shelley Hotel inside the city. We're going to rest there for a few days while telling Grand Duke Evan about your situation. Then we'll wait for the Grand Duke's reply. Does the princess have any opinion?"
