Chapter 154 Assassin
Chapter 154 Assassin
"Ah!" A guard was struck by a sword, and dark blood flowed directly from the wound. He collapsed in less than ten seconds. "The assassin's weapon is poisoned!" a guard nearby shouted.
"poisonous!"
"Everyone be on high alert! The enemy's weapons are coated with poison!" Chen Er shouted, cursing inwardly. They really intended to kill him; coating all their weapons with potent poison was a serious expense.
"Watch out!" Chen Er saw a guard almost get stabbed by the enemy, so he quickly stepped forward and slashed the guy away. However, the guard was still slashed on the arm. But the guard was decisive and cut off his own arm the next second to stop the spread of the poison.
"Quick, bandage him up!" Ying Qiuyu said to the guards beside her. The two guards immediately went out and dragged the injured guard back. Ying Qiuyu didn't care about her own status or safety and quickly squatted down to bandage the guard. At this point, this was all the fighting power she could do.
"Watch out!" Suddenly, an assassin broke through the defensive perimeter and charged straight at Ying Qiuyu. The surrounding assassins all knew that this woman must be an important figure, probably one of Chen Er's wives, otherwise there would be no need for so many people to protect her.
"Madam, be careful!" Chen Qun noticed the danger and charged forward like a bull, blocking the assassin's sword. Chen Qun was injured; in the instant he blocked the assassin's sword, his small hand was cut by the sword.
You should know that every assassin's weapon is coated with poison. Chen Qun didn't have time to cut off his own arm because his right hand was swinging the weapon and slashing fiercely at the assassin!
In those few short seconds, the poison had spread to other parts of his body. At this point, even a god couldn't save him. "Brother Evil Lai!!"
Upon seeing this scene, Ying Qiuyu cried out in despair. Hearing the sound, Chen Er turned around and saw Chen Qun kneeling down and spitting blood. Chen Er's eyes welled up with tears, and the next moment, Chen Er erupted!
"I want you all to die!" Chen Er went mad. Although he and Chen Qun and Yan Ming were nominally master and servant, Chen Qun and Yan Ming had always protected him, and he had always regarded them as brothers. Now, Chen Qun had actually fallen, fallen!
Chen Er was enraged! He was furious! His already high level of martial arts prowess had escalated to a frenzy, and no one could withstand a single blow from him! He was determined to kill everyone in front of him!
"Damn it!" Yuan Ming cursed inwardly. He was the only one who knew who was behind this incident, so he didn't approach the battlefield from the beginning. He was afraid of making a mistake and being captured.
If he couldn't withstand the pressure and revealed his master, the consequences would be too severe. Yuan Ming hesitated, but what he didn't expect was that his hesitation caused the death squad members to be alright, but all the assassins recruited from the martial arts world to back down as well.
Coupled with the outburst from Chen Er and all the guards spurred on by Chen Qun's serious injury and collapse, all the wandering knights who had originally come only for money backed out.
The patrols at the arsenal also heard the gunfire and quickly arrived. Although the arsenal garrison had never been on the battlefield, its soldiers were mainly soldiers and officers drawn from the elite of various legions.
Although the unit had never been on the battlefield, most of the soldiers and officers had combat experience. So, the arsenal sounded the alarm the moment they heard the gunshots. The soldiers of the garrison regiment quickly assembled, and the outer patrols rushed over in the direction from which the gunshots came.
The first patrol arrived just as Chen Er was about to erupt. Every soldier in the arsenal recognized their lord and his wife, who frequently inspected the arsenal. They were all surprised to see Chen Er under attack.
The patrol soldiers were furious. This was the King of Wei, the very lord who had brought them and their families hope for a better life! These assassins deserved to die.
The assassins around them were already somewhat hesitant, and when they saw the patrol arrive, they knew that their target's reinforcements were also about to arrive.
"The wind is strong, let's get out of here!" The leading knights shouted loudly. Only the Yuan family's elite soldiers continued to fight after losing Yuan Ming's command, but they, numbering only a dozen or so, were quickly torn apart by Chen Er and the surrounding soldiers.
"Evil!" Before the crowd could even cheer after repelling the enemy, Chen Er rushed to Chen Qun's side. Seeing Chen Qun on the verge of death, Chen Er cried. He was not the hero from history; he was Chen Er from Earth.
How could Chen Er not have feelings for Chen Qun, who had saved him from danger several times? At this moment, he no longer had the majesty of the King of Wei, but only the sorrow of a brother.
"My lord, I'm afraid I can no longer follow you."
Chen Qun could no longer speak. He had only managed to stay alive because of his extraordinary physical abilities, and his wish remained unfulfilled.
He looked at Chen Er and said, “My lord, the luckiest thing in Chen Qun’s life was following you in battle. But fate is cruel, and I am about to go... I just want to beg you to take care of my wife and children.”
By the end, Chen Qun's words were incoherent. Chen Er grabbed Chen Qun's hand in anguish, looked up at the sky and roared, "Heaven is unjust!"
"Erlai, don't worry, I will make sure your child is well taken care of." Chen Er reached out and covered Chen Qun's eyes. He stood up, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any survivors?"
"My lord, there are no survivors. However, judging from the people who attacked us just now, they were clearly divided into two groups. One group should be the mastermind, and the other group should be the recruited wandering knights. I think we can start from this direction," Hu An, the deputy commander of the personal guards, stepped forward and replied.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Er nodded and remained silent. He beckoned a platoon leader from the patrol team over and said, "Go back and tell the lords Andeli about the situation here, and also tell them to strengthen the defenses of the arsenal. I won't be going to the arsenal today. Tell them to continue production according to plan. Also, have someone come and clean up this place, collect our bodies, and bury them in the Martyrs' Cemetery."
"Yes, my lord!" the patrol platoon leader saluted.
As the saying goes, bad news travels fast. The news of Chen Er's attack quickly spread throughout Yuyang, and then throughout the entire empire, north and south. Everyone was shocked. How could there be such a ruthless person? All the assassins' weapons were coated with poison. For a time, all the lords in the world were in danger. Who knew if that ruthless guy would come to assassinate them?
