"County Magistrate, I've been looking everywhere for you. Who would've thought you'd be hiding beneath the city gate!"
As Liang Yuan spoke, the point of his sword was only two or three steps from Tao Heng.
Just as Tao Heng's life hung by a thread, his guard returned and blocked Liang Yuan.
The man was incredibly brave. Even as he fought the County Commandant, He Zhang, and the Black Wind Stronghold's second-in-command at the same time, he still held his own.
But he also had to protect Tao Heng. One moment of carelessness, and his lord could be in danger!
On top of the city wall, Zhao An had emptied all three quivers of iron arrows beside him.
His arm strength was astonishing, and with Internal Breath bolstering him, he was so caught up in shooting that he didn't even feel tired!
Just as he was about to ask Tao Jinyi for more iron arrows, he caught sight of the chaos below the gate tower.
Amid flashing blades and clashing shadows, the County Magistrate had been cornered. It looked as though he wouldn't survive!
If the County Magistrate died, the County Soldiers' morale would surely plummet.
Not to mention, the bandits below might threaten the city gate!
"What a crisis..."
After only a couple of glances at the situation, Zhao An could tell the county seat was in grave danger.
Below the gate tower.
He Zhang abruptly seized his chance. A flash of inspiration struck, and he sprang into the air to evade Tao Jinyi's slash, reaching with one huge hand for Tao Heng behind him.
At that moment, a long blade transformed into a streak of silver light and cold gleam, flying down from the city wall straight toward He Zhang.
He Zhang hadn't expected anyone to get in
