When Janet's group of bandits had concealed themselves and planned to strike the House of Menlo while they were down, she didn't know that she herself had become someone else's prey.
Adam Menlo was injured, and the golden-winged roc had transformed into a golden-haired middle-aged man with cuts all over his skin. Under the protection of the House of Menlo elites, he gradually retreated in the direction of the House of Menlo.
Arriving at a place covered with lush shrubs and several towering trees, Janet's group, who had long since been lying in ambush, immediately charged out with a battle cry. The old man beside Janet released a wind support spell, "Acceleration", which landed on the bandits' bodies. The valiant bandits flew towards the House of Menlo, brandishing their weapons and starting to attack.
This was out of Han Shuo's expectations. He'd originally thought that Janet was lying in ambush to seize the opportunity to plunder. He hadn't thought that Janet would immediately give the order to kill the House of Menlo when she saw them appear. It looked like her goal this time wasn't to plunder.
"Adam you old thing, you deserve your bad luck. You actually dared to plot against me, you must be tired of living!" Janet didn't make a move. She shouted in high spirits, her pretty face filled with pride and excitement.
"Kill them and the House of Menlo will be finished. Let's see if they still dare to cause trouble for us!" The bandits shouted loudly as they brandished their weapons and attacked fiercely. The experts of the House of Menlo, who had already suffered heavy losses, were chased into a sorry state.
In this trip to the valley, the major powers didn't send out too many people, perhaps because they had a mutual understanding. The House of Menlo originally had a few dozen experts, but after being killed by Laureton's berserk transformation and the ambush of the corpse resurrected by Han Shuo, there were only a dozen or so members left.
Facing Janet's group of bandits, who were three times their number and also had decent strength, it was only natural that they would suffer a loss.
"Protect my father. Our people are nearby. As long as we return to our territory, these damned bandits won't be able to leave alive," a skinny, brown-haired mage shouted as he waved the magic staff in his hand.
Sharp spikes suddenly shot out from the ground where Janet and the other bandits were charging. These bandits, who had been buffed by the wind support spell "Acceleration," were extremely fast. They didn't care about the changes under their feet at all and were hit one after another. Some of their ankles were directly pierced through.
"Damn it, shoot them to death!" Janet roared and ordered the archers behind her.
Swish! Swish!
The sound of arrows piercing through the air rang out as streaks of silvery arrows fell upon the House of Menlo, immediately causing chaos amongst them. Even the earth mage who had cast the "Earth Spike" was affected by the rain of arrows and had no choice but to cast an earth wall for defense.
Han Shuo could clearly see the battle between Janet and the House of Menlo through the yin demon. At this time, Han Shuo and the others were hiding in the shadows tens of meters away, carefully listening to the intense battle and waiting for Han Shuo's orders.
"Let them fight amongst themselves. I'll have the earth elite zombie sneak attack and capture them later!" Han Shuo wasn't in the least bit anxious as he said leisurely.
"Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. After tonight, the Valley of Sunshine will become even more chaotic. Our Soul Destroyer mercenary band will take advantage of this opportunity to rise."
"Be careful for now. After my violent actions tonight, I think the Rainbow Sickle mercenary band and the House of Menlo will deal with us first without a care in the world. With our mercenary band's current strength, we can't contend against any of the powers. Our current hiding place must not be exposed. "Han Shuo couldn't help but remind Trunks when he saw the desire on his face.
"Heh heh, that's good too. Because of your craziness tonight, the name of our Soul Destroyer mercenary band has become famous. As long as our name is known, we won't have to worry about not being able to recruit people. As long as we have money and people, our strength can rapidly improve. When we have enough strength, it will be the death of those traitors in Florida! "Trunks said with a cold face.
Nodding, Han Shuo agreed, "That's right, it's time for the Soul Destroyers to show their talents!"
"Eh!" Han Shuo exclaimed softly and said in astonishment, "I didn't think that the experts of the House of Menlo would really be waiting outside. It looks like Janet's group's efforts were for naught!"
He patted the earth elite zombie and it abruptly hid underground. Han Shuo turned his head to look at Trunks and said, "I suddenly remembered that with him, we don't need your help anymore. You guys return to the group first, I'll catch up to you guys with Janet."
"You really don't need help? Janet can be the leader of such a large group of bandits, so her own strength can't be too weak. Plus, there's a group of bandits surrounding her. Are you sure you can succeed? "Trunks asked in astonishment.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems!" Han Shuo smiled confidently and gave the order to return with Gilbert and Little Skull. He and the earth elite zombie hid in Janet's direction.
This night was destined to be chaotic. The experts of the four great powers of the Valley of Sunshine had tacitly entered the valley, but they had all set up an ambush outside the valley.
As the four great powers had all suffered losses in their campaigns against each other, the smaller powers that originally didn't dare to act rashly had long since harbored resentment after being suppressed by the four great powers. Add to that the fatal temptation of the mithril mine, no one could predict if they would do something crazy.
Even though Trunks and the others were very familiar with the terrain of the Valley of Sunshine, Han Shuo was still worried that they would be in danger on the way. Therefore, he had Gilbert and Little Skull travel with them. At least they could take care of each other along the way.
When Han Shuo planned to capture Janet, his mind spun rapidly. He clearly observed Janet's every move based on the yin demon's observation, thinking of the most appropriate way to act.
"Quick, chase after them and get rid of them! If we miss this chance, there won't be another one!" Janet wielded a huge mace, her petite body as fast as lightning as she chased after the fleeing clansmen of the House of Menlo.
There were a few bandits protecting her, but because of Janet's ruckus, the bandits were busy chasing after the experts of the House of Menlo, gradually getting further and further away from her.
Through the yin demon's observation, Han Shuo calmly determined Janet's route of advance. He silently hid behind a large tree, slowly adjusting his breathing and heartbeat. It was as if his entire being had become one with the tree, and no one could discover Han Shuo in the shadows.
The earth elite zombie obeyed Han Shuo's orders and quickly shuttled through the ground, closely following Janet. As soon as Han Shuo gave the order, he would immediately move underground to cooperate with Han Shuo.
The experts of the House of Menlo rode all kinds of magical beasts and left the area where Han Shuo was hiding. Behind them, a few bandits on Janet's side waved their weapons and shouted as they chased after them. These people all passed by the large tree that Han Shuo was hiding behind.
Gradually, the panting and angry Janet rapidly approached according to the trajectory that Han Shuo had predicted. She raised her mace and cursed loudly. Vulgar words and vulgarities rang out incessantly, without the restraint that a girl should have.
Suddenly, Han Shuo, who had been hiding all this time, suddenly leaped out like a ghost. He was like a shadow in the darkness, instantly entering Janet's line of sight.
Janet, who was cursing incessantly, saw a black shadow suddenly appear from the darkness. She immediately waved her mace in horror and smashed it over. The mace flew over at high speed with a strange whistling sound. Its momentum was extremely shocking.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing rang out as an enormous force flowed through the mace and into Janet's body. It was as terrifying as a flash flood. This caused Janet, who was flying at high speed, to uncontrollably stagger backwards.
"It's you!" With one strike, Janet already knew that the newcomer's strength far surpassed hers. When Han Shuo's figure appeared, Janet immediately turned pale with fright and cried out.
Seeing that the newcomer was Han Shuo, Janet, who had just seen Han Shuo's strength while hiding in the darkness, knew that her strength was inferior to Han Shuo's. She didn't even think about it and hurriedly retreated. She opened her mouth and yelled, "Men, take him down!"
As Janet retreated, she didn't know that the earth elite zombie had already set up an ambush. A pair of arms suddenly stretched out from the ground and accurately grabbed onto Janet's retreating ankles, preventing her from evading.
Janet was scared out of her wits, frightened by this sudden turn of events. She trembled and screamed, "Help, what's holding onto me?"
"It's too late!" With a light shout, Han Shuo had already arrived in front of Janet. Then, Janet felt her entire body tighten, as if her body didn't belong to her, and she gradually lost all strength.
"Let go of her, or you will suffer our vengeance at all costs!" The crippled wind archmage Billy quickly floated over with the wind magic "Haste", glaring angrily at Han Shuo as he shouted.
"I need to ask her some questions. I won't take her life, don't worry!" Han Shuo said to the rapidly approaching archmage Billy as he carried the unconscious Janet.
"You promise you won't hurt her?" On the other side, wind archmage Billy was afraid that Han Shuo would kill her, so he yelled at the bandits around him who were also furiously approaching. He stared fixedly at Han Shuo as he spoke.
"Of course, I won't take her life. Otherwise, she would have died a long time ago!" Han Shuo nodded in response, then carried Janet and soared into the air, saying, "At most three days, she will definitely return safely. Don't worry!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shuo gave the earth elite zombie the order to retreat. The man and the zombie gradually moved further and further away in the direction of Trunks and the others.
