"Crossbow!"
Seeing that Xiong Ba was about to escape, Wang Feng retaliated.
The Divine Martial Guards immediately threw away their weapons and took out their Divine Armed Crossbows. They nocked an arrow and fired. The entire process was smooth and neat. It took less than half a minute.
In a situation where there were no disturbances and in such a narrow passageway, there was no way to avoid the crossbow. Its destructive power was truly astonishing. The Imperial Guards responsible for bringing up the rear were like wheat, falling in rows, completely annihilated.
Xiong Ba's Imperial Guards couldn't escape the same fate.
The Divine Armed Crossbows were too fast and the Divine Martial Guards were well-trained. They were used to firing three times. The arrows that were shot out did not stop at all, and they continued to shoot without end.
The passage was less than a hundred meters long and it became a nightmare for the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards. When Xiong Ba's group reached the end of the passage, there were only a dozen Imperial Guards left. They were all injured.
Luckily, they made it.
It was unknown where the guard pressed, but the wooden wall at the end of the passageway slowly opened from both sides, revealing a narrow square space that looked like an 'elevator'.
"Quick!"
The Imperial Guards protected Xiong Ba as they entered the "elevator." It was actually a specially modified elevator.
After they entered, the wooden wall closed again.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, Wang Feng's heart trembled. Without even thinking, he subconsciously exerted all his strength and threw the spear in his hand with all his might.
"Whoosh!" Like a sharp arrow, the long spear pierced through the air and pierced into the "elevator" before the wooden wall was completely closed, emitting a "weng weng" sound.
The elevator came to an abrupt halt.
This earth-shattering attack stunned the Divine Martial Guards.
"Quick! Stop them!"
Wang Feng didn't hesitate. He pulled out the Tang sword and chased after them.
The short hundred meters were covered in a blink of an eye.
Wang Feng was giving it his all.
The Divine Martial Guards also chased after them.
…
Inside the elevator, everyone's faces were pale. The spear that Wang Feng threw hit the head of a Imperial Guard and stabbed into his skull. Brain juice splattered and blood gushed out.
Such a thrilling and exciting scene caused the battle-hardened guards to be unable to withstand it.
More importantly, because of the spear, the elevator couldn't close completely. Naturally, it couldn't operate smoothly and go down.
Xiong Ba had specially hired top-notch craftsmen to modify the elevator. It led directly to the exit at the bottom of the cabin. There was even a small boat and emergency supplies at the exit.
His goal was to escape at the critical moment.
Xiong Ba's scheming mind was evident.
Who could have imagined that Wang Feng's shocking attack would destroy it at the last moment?
Wang Feng's spear was forged from refined iron and could not be sliced apart. If he tried to forcefully move the elevator, the spear that was stuck on the outside would slam into the ground and block the elevator.
As such, Xiong Ba and the others had no way out.
Xiong Ba's expression was complicated. In the end, he sighed. "Since we can't retreat, let's fight to the death!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight! "
In the small space, more than a dozen guards burst out with monstrous battle intent.
This was the final roar of a group of desperate people, bursting forth with all the potential in their bodies.
"If I can't leave, don't think you'll have it easy either!"
Xiong Ba's eyes were cold as he quietly clenched the long saber in his hands.
…
"Break the door down!"
Wang Feng had already brought the Divine Martial Guards to the end of the passage.
"Yes, sir!"
The Divine Martial Guards found hard metal tools from the room on the side and prepared to break the door.
However, in the next moment, the wooden wall suddenly opened from the two sides. Under the leadership of Xiong Ba, the guards who had been waiting for a long time suddenly rushed out and caught the Divine Martial Guards off guard.
In an instant, the Divine Martial Guards suffered heavy losses.
Xiong Ba raised his long saber and went straight for Wang Feng's face, starting with a "Mountain Splitting Strike." This move was powerful and condensed all of Xiong Ba's killing intent and determination.
Once he attacked, there was no way out.
As expected of an ambitious person, he was heroic at the critical moment.
Wang Feng didn't dare to be slow and raised his saber to meet the attack.
"Clang!" The long and thin saber was deflected by Xiong Ba's large saber. The large saber's momentum didn't decrease as it brought along a biting cold wind and flashed white rays towards Wang Feng's shoulder.
This saber strike could probably split Wang Feng in half.
"General!"
The surrounding Divine Martial Guards were shocked. They wanted to help, but it was too late.
Wang Feng didn't panic. He gritted his teeth and forced his body to the side at the last moment.
"Puchi!"
Unfortunately, Wang Feng's reaction was a bit too late. The large saber almost touched Wang Feng's shoulder and cut his left arm in half. A forearm fell on the deck.
Blood gushed out from the cut off part of the arm.
Even with Wang Feng's toughness, his face immediately turned pale and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"General!"
Seeing this, the Divine Martial Guards rushed forward.
Xiong Ba wanted to follow up and finish Wang Feng in one move. At this moment, a sharp arrow pierced through the air and hit Xiong Ba's forehead.
"Ugh!"
Xiong Ba's movement paused. He looked at Wang Feng with regret and slowly fell down.
The entire battlefield was silent.
A moment later, Xiong Ba's body turned into a white light and disappeared from the map. Along with Xiong Ba, Overlord City's navy disappeared, including Overlord's navy that was still fighting with the frogmen.
Even the few remaining guards were lucky enough to escape calamity, and they transformed into rays of light and left.
Only the empty battleship proved that Overlord City's navy had been here.
In a situation like this where the Lord was assassinated, the navy would be sent back to the main plane by Gaia, but the battleship they brought would not receive the same treatment and would remain on the map.
Overlord City had suffered heavy losses in just one attack.
"General!"
The Divine Martial Guards couldn't care less. They took some gauze and bandaged Wang Feng urgently.
Wang Feng's expression was a little gloomy. He forced himself not to look at his broken left arm. He gritted his teeth and said, "Gather everyone and retreat before the battleship completely sinks!"
"Yes!"
…
In the corner of the Wulin Water Stronghold, the Lord watched Overlord City's navy disappear.
The Lord immediately understood what was going on.
"Damn it, Xiong Ba is really dead!" The Lord's expression was extremely ugly. "We can't stay in the Wulin Water Stronghold anymore!"
Without Overlord City's navy, they could not defend the Wulin Water Stronghold alone. Rather than that, it was better to rely on Battle Wolf and gather everyone to make a long-term plan.
Just as the Lord decided to lead the fleet to the Red Cliff Stronghold overnight, an urgent news made the Lord's face turn pale.
"My Lord, the Battle Wolf Lord has been stabbed to death!"
"…"
The Lord could not recover for a long time. After a long time, he said sadly, "Sun Liu's camp is finished!"
"My Lord, what should we do now?"
"Retreat, leave the Red Cliff immediately." The Lord shuddered. Thinking of the Shanhai City navy, he did not dare to stay here for even a moment.
"Retreat to where?"
"To Chaisang, to Sun Quan's place. That's the safest place now." The Lord still had foresight.
"Understood!"
Just like that, under the cover of the night, the remaining Red Cliff navy fleet gathered and retreated to Chaisang in a sorry state. As time was tight, they did not even have time to receive the battleships left behind by Xiong Ba and Battle Wolf.
The Lords were worried that if they delayed any longer, the Shanhai City navy would come.
That was a group of demons!
Thinking of this, the Lords ran faster than rabbits.
The bustling Red Cliff suddenly became empty and desolate.
The sun rose, casting light on the surface of the river.
Less than ten miles away from the Red Cliff, hundreds of Scarlet Horse Boats gathered together. On a Scarlet Horse Boat in the middle, Wang Feng's face was pale as he listened to his subordinate's report.
The more he listened, the more gloomy his face became.
Attacking the Wulin Water Bandits, Shanhai City suffered heavy losses. The fighting and the fire took away the lives of more than nine hundred soldiers.
In the end, less than three hundred people survived.
As for the group responsible for attacking the Red Cliff Stronghold, it was even more tragic. The Battle Wolf Army had extraordinary combat power. It was not easy for a group of wild wolves to fight to the death.
Of the one thousand two hundred soldiers, less than a hundred came back alive. Even the commander of the army, the leader of the Lord's bodyguards, Chen Dameng, sacrificed himself in the battle last night.
According to the soldiers who escaped, the danger of the battle last night was no less than that of the Wulin Tribe. At the most intense moment, Chen Dameng had to give the order to perish together with the enemy.
It was in that battle that Chen Dameng fiercely killed the Battle Wolf Army while withstanding the enemy's bayonet.
This battle could be said to be a pyrrhic victory.
Of the two valiant generals, one died in battle, and the other was crippled.
When they set off, the hundred Scarlet Horse Boats were filled to the brim. Everyone was excited and carefree, thinking about how to make a name for themselves on the battlefield.
But now, the empty Scarlet Horse Boats, even under the light of the morning sun, looked extremely desolate.
The atmosphere at the scene was especially depressing.
The soldiers were silent and sad, mourning for their dead brothers.
Only the Golden Dragon Flag was still fluttering in the wind, standing tall.
…
"General, the scouts reported that the remaining enemies in the water bandits have retreated overnight. What should we do next? "The team leader asked Wang Feng for his opinion.
Wang Feng's face was pale and his body was extremely weak. Even so, his words were still powerful. "Arrange a frogman team to follow the fleeing enemies."
"Understood!"
"Arrange another team to report the situation here to the flagship." Wang Feng ordered.
"General, don't worry. The messenger has already set off. If there are no accidents, the army should be able to reach the Red Cliff before nightfall. "The team leader was obviously a capable person.
"That's good." Wang Feng wanted to nod, but it was a little difficult. He continued, "Since the enemies have left, let's not stay on the river. Let's go into the water bandits to rest and wait for the Lord's arrival."
"Yes!" The soldier nodded. He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "General, your injury?"
For a general, losing an arm was like a bolt from the blue. From now on, a valiant general would have to retire from the battlefield and become a "useless person."
For a young general like Wang Feng, such a blow was fatal.
A life worse than death!
