Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In an instant, a rain of arrows poured down like a storm, with neither side holding back and launching an attack.
Everyone's one of us. On the run, who cares who you are? Anyone who dares to block our way has to be killed.
Because if we don't kill you all to escape, then everyone will die.
Ahh!
Screams echoed across the battlefield; both sides suffered heavy casualties, but the attacks became even more ferocious.
This left the people of the Great West Empire watching in stunned silence. What was going on? Their own people were fighting each other so fiercely; it was utterly insane.
"If these guys fought this hard against the enemy, the Great Liang Empire would have been driven away by us long ago," an old man said, his voice filled with anguish.
The Great West Empire has now reached this point, and yet they still want to kill each other. How can he accept this?
If they had united to attack the enemy, the enemy would not have been able to advance so far and directly into the heart of the Great West Empire.
Someone nearby said bitterly, "His Majesty is foolish. He still wants to escape at this time. The century-old foundation of the Great West Empire will be destroyed in an instant."
"What? Your Majesty intends to escape?"
"My goodness, His Majesty is such a valiant man, is he even going to run away?"
"Isn't that obvious? Right now, His Majesty isn't commanding the battle at the front lines, but is preparing to leave from here. What do you think he's doing? Going out to see the moon? It's definitely an escape."
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Now that they said it, it was indeed true; His Majesty was actually going to run away.
In an instant, all the common people panicked. If His Majesty had fled, what would become of them? Wouldn't they be like headless flies, destined to be swallowed up by the Great Liang Empire?
Splash!
In an instant, all the common people disappeared, heading back to pack their belongings. Since the emperor was leaving, they figured they might as well go with him; staying here meant certain death anyway.
Soon, the people came out with their families, carrying their hastily packed belongings, and followed in Abaddon's footsteps.
Aba was engrossed in their lovemaking when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him. He was furious, but when he turned around, he was dumbfounded.
He saw a dense crowd of people from the Great West Empire rushing over, all looking at him expectantly, clearly ready to escape with him.
Holy crap!
Abaddon cursed inwardly, but forced a smile to maintain his imperial demeanor. Now was the time to prepare to send his people away.
However, taking so many people with you on your escape is simply outrageous; the enemy will catch up sooner or later.
He said in a deep voice, "My people, we are preparing to attack the Great Liang emperor's camp from the flank. It is by no means an escape. Please do not misunderstand."
He was speechless. He had planned to sneak away, but not only did he run into Amur, but now so many civilians had followed him. How was he supposed to escape now?
We must get rid of these ordinary people, or we'll all be finished too.
He whispered to Delin on this side, "Quickly send men to evacuate them. If so many people follow us, how can we escape quietly? The enemy will catch up with us too."
"What? His Majesty actually went to attack Lin Rusong's military camp?"
"We misunderstood His Majesty; he is not fleeing but going to war."
The common people were skeptical, but most were willing to believe Emperor Abaddon.
After all, he was once the pride of the Great West Empire; how could he possibly do something as humiliating as fleeing without a fight?
However, there were also some clever people in the crowd who, upon hearing his words, sneered, "This is the first time I've heard of someone bringing favors to ambush someone, and with so much luggage at that."
This lie is so blatantly thoughtless; does he really think we're all idiots?
Forehead!
Abaddon was speechless, his face hardening. This was fucking awkward.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
At this moment, Amur on the city wall also noticed the situation below and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You've noticed too, haven't you? Your beloved emperor not only wants to escape, but also wants to abandon you."
That bastard is no good. Not only did he eliminate his enemies, but he also slept with the soldiers' women while they were fighting at the front.
This scoundrel is more like a beast than an emperor.
Wow!
These words struck like a thunderbolt, silencing the entire battlefield. Everyone stared at Abaddon in disbelief.
It's one thing that the people fled after being abandoned, but the last sentence is particularly heartbreaking.
What does it mean that soldiers fight on the front lines while the emperor sleeps with their women? This is simply unacceptable; they were soldiers too!
Ah, this...
Abaddon's face paled, and he instinctively wanted to retort, but he said in a deep voice, "This is absolutely slander! I, Abaddon, am the Emperor of the Great West Empire. What kind of woman can't I have?"
I'm not crazy enough to sleep with my own soldier's woman; that's absolutely slander.
So you want to rebel, that's why you're slandering me, the emperor.
The crowd's expressions softened slightly, and they couldn't help but look at Amur on the city wall.
Amur, seeing Abaddon so close, wanted nothing more than to shoot him dead with an arrow. He sneered, "I'm slandering you! You fucking slept with my woman, do you think I wouldn't know that?"
You bastard, you even sent me out to guard the city gate so you could have your affair with a woman in peace. You really do have a lot to do with us soldiers on the front lines.
You say I'm slandering you? Look at the woman next to you, isn't she my wife?
These words caused an uproar in the audience.
Everyone couldn't help but notice the woman beside Aba, their eyes filled with doubt. Could this be Amur's wife on the city wall?
"It really is true, it's actually true."
Sure enough, someone in the crowd recognized Hill, and he couldn't help but look incredulous, so what Amur said was true.
An uproar erupted in the crowd in an instant, and even the soldiers who had been following Abaddon stopped.
Although they were very loyal to Abaddon, they couldn't bear the bitterness behind that loyalty.
Imagine your own people fighting desperately against the enemy in Qin Huan, while your emperor is fighting desperately with his wife in bed—it's incredibly frustrating.
They now finally understood why Amur had been so desperate to block Emperor Abaddon's escape route; it was something no one could understand.
Soon the soldiers' fighting spirit completely collapsed, and many even laid down their weapons and chose to leave the army.
Just then, a loud bang was heard outside, and a white horse leaped out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
" The Hundred Riders Legion, Zhao Yun!" Abaddon's expression changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice.
