C211 Very bad luck (below)

Seeing the commander holding an arrow and looking towards the north of the city with a dazed expression, the deputy general at the side hurried forward and called out softly, "Sir, sir ?"

After continuously calling out a few times, the commander finally came back to his senses. He turned his head to look at the deputy general in confusion and asked, "What is it?"

"Lord, what should we do next?" The deputy general asked.

"Next..." Just as the commander was about to do something, he suddenly felt someone pulling him towards the city gate tower, and he only heard the "ding ding dang dang" sound. It was only when he and his men ran into the city gate tower did he realize that another rain of arrows was coming from outside the city.

After silently exclaiming 'so close to death', the commander suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. However, he was still quite satisfied with his assistant general who had dragged him along with them. At least, his subordinates weren't the kind of people who would run away on their own when they were in danger.

"Lord, what should we do now?" The deputy general looked at them. There was no longer any danger where they were standing, so he asked.

"F * ck, don't let me know who the culprit is, or else I'll definitely be irreconcilable with him!" The commander was very angry as he pouted the arrow in his hand and spoke angrily.

Master, please calm your anger. What should we do now, please make it clear that according to the report from the guard on duty, there are still people from the Sword League below the city. At the same time, he informed the commander about what happened in Sword League.

"Un, bring them in first!" The commander had heard the on-duty guard mention the people from the Sword League. Although they were unlucky enough to encounter such things, who could be blamed? Who told them to rush towards the city gates aggressively when the enemies were attacking? They deserved to die even if there were any casualties? Wouldn't they be alright if they stayed in the city obediently? Therefore, the people of Sword League would 'knock down my teeth and mix them with my blood to swallow'.

The assistant general nodded and signaled the commander on duty with his hand, telling him to send troops to welcome Sword League and his men into the city. Then he turned and asked, "Sir, the troops outside the city ?."

"It's midnight now, and the situation outside the city is still unclear. Do not act rashly, and let Cheng Zhipeng lead his cavalry out of the city early in the morning to have a look. I want to see where exactly the Bull Demon and Snake God came from!" The commander instructed.

"Lord, this ?" The deputy general wanted to speak but hesitated.

"What's the problem?" The Commander looked at the Vice General at the side and asked.

"When we leave the city tomorrow morning, the other party will probably be long gone. I'm afraid that he won't be of much use to us. Furthermore, Cheng Zhipeng has already been removed from his post by the Lord, if he were to stop for further consideration, how about ? "

"Forget it, let his assistant lead the way!" The commander shook his head and instructed. He had just suspended Cheng Zhipeng during the day and would activate it again at night. Wasn't this him slapping himself in the face? It was true that he was the most elite force in the Fengyang City, and the fighting strength of his troops were also the strongest. Just looking at this point, Cheng Zhipeng was truly a talent, but this person did not know how to appreciate favors, what a pity!

The Commander didn't explain to the Lieutenant General why he had to send troops out of the city tomorrow morning. Actually, he had his own ulterior motives, because if he were to send troops out of the city now and encounter any damage, it would all be caused by his misdirection.

If they had sent out their troops the next morning, they would probably have already run away. At most, they would only be sending a symbolic army out of the city, which would not be dangerous at all, and it would also be able to stop a lot of people from talking. If they really blamed him for missing the fighter jet, then he would have to explain his actions using words such as' luring the tiger out of the mountain '.

He could be considered as having reached the peak of the official position, and if he wanted to rise up, he would either have to fight his way to the battlefield to gain merits, or use his connections to get transferred to the imperial army. Both of these were impossible for him to accomplish at the moment, but first of all, he was afraid of his own ability to command, so it was impossible for him to go to the front line to roam around for a long time.

He had the status he had today, firstly, it was because of his family's power, and secondly, he had relied on his many years in the government. As long as there were no major mistakes, he believed that as long as he was not promoted, he would at least be able to stay in this position.

Originally, everything went smoothly, but unexpectedly, the Fengyang City did not have a day to rest, especially today, it was her unlucky day. Everything that happened today was randomly picked out, and it would be enough to cause him to lose her life.

The Lieutenant General's voice once again interrupted the Commander's train of thoughts, and he said: "Master, it's been so long, and we haven't been attacked again, I guess the other party has already retreated, and the people from Sword League have been brought back to the city. Sir, do you want to go see them?"

"En, follow me down to the city, let's go take a look at them!" The Lord Commander thought for a while, then led the deputy general and a few generals down the city.

From the commander's point of view, with his current predicament, it was better for him not to make enemies everywhere. Sword League's strength was something that could be said in the capital, and seemed to be in contact with the current Ninth Prince.

North of Fengyang City, under the city gate.

"This must be the Great Clan Elder of the Sword League. It is truly our greatest fortune to meet each other now! "

"Where? May I ask who you are?"

"Ni Qushi, you shall be the commander of the Fengyang City's guards!"

"..." The Great Clan Elder did not reply, only his hypocritical face suddenly lost his smile. If not for the fact that this's Guard Commander took his position up, the Great Clan Elder would have immediately fallen out with him.

"How fucking unlucky!" Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance secretly sighed as he cupped his hands in greeting to the other party. However, he kept muttering in his heart, "Ni Qushi? Go to hell! Don't tell me this fellow is trying to mock me! "

When he saw the other party treating him with disgust, he was instantly angered in his heart. When had he ever been treated like this, even if it was the Patriarch of a large family, he was still very polite to him when speaking to him. Although his position was lower than the other party by a lot, he could still be considered as the leader of the Fengyang City. Furthermore, he had already taken the initiative to show his kindness to him, what was he not satisfied with?

"Commander, this old man still has something to take care of. I'll settle it another day!" Also, your subordinates should properly discipline him. Since he is a watchdog, he should be able to differentiate between guests and enemies! If you just randomly release people to bite people, some people will say that the owner of this dog is too useless! " Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance squinted at the commander, his face full of disdain and ridicule.

"You ?" Commander Ni looked at the people of Sword League with hatred, but he did not continue. Suppressing his anger, the conflict was not beneficial to him.

Seeing that Sword League and her men were quickly heading towards the city, the assistant general approached Commander Ni and asked softly, "Sir, should we send someone to make them suffer?"

"Forget it, now is not the time for us to offend such a force!" The Commander shook his head and denied it.

"Hmph, to dare to talk to adults like that, you must have let them off easy!" If only I had known earlier, I would have let them die under these random arrows! " The deputy general complained.

"Alright, I won't say anymore. Tell them that tonight, all the city guards are going to cancel their leave. Aside from the normal security team in the city, all the rest of them mount the city wall and keep an eye on the people outside the city. If they discover anything, report to me! " The Commander said.

"Yes, my lord!"

? ?.

Sword League and the rest quickly moved towards the location of the fire. Each one of them were extremely anxious, there was too much time wasted before the city gate, so they could only increase their speed.

Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance was currently feeling depressed in his heart. When he left the city, there were more than a hundred people, and when he returned, there were only seventy to eighty people left. All of them were wearing tattered clothes, as if they were beggars entering the city. As for the other dozens of people, they were either killed by the arrows or seriously injured. However, those who were seriously injured were also abandoned outside the city. They really didn't know whether they should feel sorry for them or feel sorry for them!

Of course, the journey was not as smooth as they had imagined. If the people outside the city could be said to be child's play, then after the real killing techniques had entered the city, the Sword League had lost their vigilance. All they wanted to do was to rush to the encampment of their own clan quickly.

Fortune Street was a street in Fengyang City that was close to the north, and was also the main road from the north to the south. The road was wide, and could be traveled by three carriages side by side. Of course, the most important thing was that this was the only path Sword League and the rest had to take.

"Big brother, why is there no one on this street?" The Third Elder had always been a calm person. Tonight's series of encounters had caused his heart to beat uncontrollably. At this moment, he had always felt that the atmosphere in his surroundings was a little strange.

"Who do you want to see so late at night? "With the alarm clock ringing just now and the fire in the city, these ordinary people should have been hiding at home by now. Besides, do you really expect them to stay up late at night to watch our miserable states?" The Great Clan Elder was not the least bit surprised, as his current thoughts were all on that treasure that had been placed in the goods. Even if all of the disciples that had been left to protect this place were to die, or even if the encampment was burnt to the ground, as long as that treasure was still there, he still had a way to explain it to the alliance head. But without that treasure, let alone explaining it, he wouldn't have the face to go to the underworld to see the ancestors of the Sword League.

"Brother, you know that's not what I meant! "I'm just worried. After all, we were surrounded by danger outside the city and the encampment was set on fire, so I'm worried that some force is targeting us. If there was an ambush, I'm afraid ?" The third elder voiced his doubts.

"Just now, it was outside the city and now it's inside the city. Do you think they have the guts to ambush us here? It's not that I underestimated them, the city gates are already sealed by the army, if they attack us, where will they run to? I was even afraid that they wouldn't come! " The Great Elder said confidently.

Even if they managed to return, the encampment would be empty. If they were able to catch the assailant, they would definitely be able to find the mastermind behind this.

"Big Bro's words are reasonable, little brother is only making a hypothesis!" The Third Elder replied with a bow.

"Don't worry, it's more important that we hurry back!" The grand elder patted the third elder's shoulder and said consolingly.

But just as Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance's voice fell, a change happened. A dozen or so shadows suddenly appeared on the tall buildings on both sides of the street, and they threw something at him. Under the night sky, one could only see that it was an irregular mass of objects.

Sword League and the rest immediately raised their blades to block, but the object that was thrown seemed to be unable to resist at all. The moment the sword and blade touched it, it instantly exploded, spraying out something that looked like liquid. At first, the people of Sword League thought that it was some kind of poisonous water or corrosive liquid, but after smelling it at the tip of their nose, they finally understood that this was not some poisonous water or poison, but some ordinary fire oil.

"Not good. Be careful of the other party using fire, hurry up and leave this place!" The Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance saw that the opportunity was right, and decisively gave the order, at this time, he did not have time to listen to the solemn vow he had just made that 'no assailants will appear'.

The rest of the Sword League were not weak either, to be able to survive the rain of arrows in front of the two armies, they were all old foxes. Once their bodies were stained with oil, they immediately sensed that something was wrong, and escaped towards the direction of the base with all their might.
