Chapter 87 - Assassinating The Azure Dragon Marshal

Outside the city, the wounded soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion looked at the flames on the ground from afar, not daring to approach.

He Chuan had given them sufficient time to react when he attacked.

If they wanted to live, they had to leave the hundred-meter radius of Glory City.

Hearing the continuous sounds of strange beasts in the mountain forest.

These people really had no choice but to flee in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Lin Cheng sighed softly.

“Strange beasts are bloodthirsty. I’m afraid these people won’t be able to run far.”

Xu Ke looked at him. “Mashal Lin, you’re not going to start being sentimental again, are you?”

“After all, they’re all soldiers of the empire. Although the Azure Dragon Marshal and I don’t get along, but…”

Lin Cheng gradually came to a realization. Having a compassionate heart wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t necessarily a good thing in this chaotic world. Thus, he shook his head and said, “Sigh, forget it. It’s good as long as we can survive the beast tide.”

Xu Ke thought for a moment and said, “These scents disperse very quickly. They can only delay the arrival of the second wave of the beast tide. Your Highness, what should we do?”

“Take the opportunity to kill the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal.”

He Chuan looked into the distance. “Once he dies, the Azure Dragon Legion will become headless flies. When that time comes, the target of the beast tide will not be just us.”

Xu Ke was startled. “Your Highness, you want the entire Azure Dragon Legion to use their lives to delay time for us?”

“Yes.” He Chuan’s gaze was firm. “Choose 300 awakened new soldiers. I will personally pursue and kill them!”

Lin Cheng and Xu Ke looked at each other in surprise.

This was the first time they had seen He Chuan use such a ruthless method. It was very different from his usual gentle and refined appearance. It made them very uncomfortable.

However, there was nothing that couldn’t be done. The crimes that the Azure Dragon Marshal had committed in the past few years, both in the open and in the dark, were enough to make him die a few times.

Very soon, the chasing troops were assembled.

Each of them was the best among the second-level awakened of the new army.

However, the Azure Dragon Legion still had more than 10,000 people.

It was still a little challenging to assassinate Azure Dragon Marshal.

In order to reduce casualties and avoid being discovered by the other party first, all of them changed into night clothes.

They chased out first and waited until nighttime before attacking together!

The speed of the awakened ones was far faster than ordinary people.

Moreover, the Azure Dragon Legion was afraid of being scattered by the beast tide, so they didn’t dare to split into small groups and chose to march in a group.

This way, it was effortless to find them.

He Chuan brought 300 awakened ones and used the foresight of the deductive system to avoid the increasingly dense area of exotic beasts.

But the Azure Dragon Legion wasn’t so lucky.

There were too many of them.

After setting up a defensive formation, every step they took would send a flock of birds flying.

Many strange beasts were already watching them in the dark.

In the evening, they launched a wave of attacks in tacit understanding.

The battle cries shook the sky for a moment, so much so that even the strange beasts in the distance were attracted over.

“All the heavy shield 100-man regiments, go and block the strange beasts that are charging at us. The hatchet men, cooperate with us to kill them. Let’s get rid of them first!”

Azure Dragon Marshal gave the order from the center of the battlefield. “Archers, prepare the rockets. Burn down the forest on the west side. Don’t let those strange beasts come over!”

A few troops moved quickly.

Soon, the strange beasts that were surrounded by the heavy shield soldiers could no longer kill as fiercely as they had when they first entered the battlefield.

Although the shields the Azure Dragon Legion provided couldn’t block a few attacks from the strange beasts, they had the advantage in numbers. If one of them couldn’t hold on any longer, their teammates would immediately replace them.

While exhausting the exotic beasts’ stamina, there were also hatchet men attacking from the flanks.

Not long after, the strange beasts actually became riddled with wounds under this kind of tactical system.

However, it was still a little difficult to kill them truly.

“Looks like the Azure Dragon Legion’s luck today is a little bad.”

Just as the battle situation was tense.

He Chuan moved.

He brought a few hundred awakened ones and turned into a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the Azure Dragon Legion’s defense gap.

In just a few seconds, they had rushed to the center of the battlefield and destroyed more than ten hundred-man regiments in a row.

They didn’t even have time to warn the others.

Just as the Azure Dragon Legion Marshal sensed that something was wrong.

He turned his head and saw a figure shrouded in flames.

The next moment.

He lost consciousness.

His head separated from his body, and fell to the ground with a bang.

The adjutants around him were all dumbfounded.

Before they could react, they saw the assailant quickly retreat and run out of the battlefield.

“Enemy Attack! Enemy Attack! There’s an assassin!”

“Sir… is dead…”

“The Marshal is dead! !”

Panicked shouts rang out one after another.

It immediately caused the originally orderly battlefield to become chaotic.

He Chuan secretly observed for a while.

Not long after the news of Azure Dragon Marshal’s death spread.

Deserters appeared.

Moreover, the situation was getting worse and worse.

In just a few minutes, the number of people present had been reduced by half.

Apart from those who were entangled by the strange beasts, almost all of them had left this place.

“Many of them are injured. They should be able to attract the beast tide over.”

He Chuan achieved his goal. He did not stay in the wilderness any longer and immediately brought his subordinates back to Glory City.

That night, the scouts sent news.

A large group of beast hordes was going around Glory City. They were heading southeast from the forest at the side.

That was the direction where the Azure Dragon Legion was fleeing.

After hearing this news.

Everyone in Glory City smiled as if they had been relieved of a heavy burden.

The City Lord saved their lives again!
