This situation is a dilemma; if things go wrong, the people of the Great Liang Empire might even discover it, which would be utterly disastrous.
"No, absolutely not! I don't want to die in this deep forest!" James said hysterically, almost frantically.
As a nobleman of the Moses Empire, although he was not a top-tier nobleman, he still possessed astonishing wealth. Enjoying pleasure and playing with women was commonplace for him, and all kinds of riches and honors were easily attained.
His background destined him to a carefree life; he had no desire to become a maggot in the forest—that would be far too humiliating.
In order to avoid being discovered, they haven't even dared to light a fire to cook these days. They eat dry rations Tiandu and then eat some wild animals raw, which is really disgusting and suffocating.
If this continues, he'll go crazy.
"I can't take it anymore, we're going to die here!"
The others shook their heads frantically. They didn't want to die either, didn't want to die such a miserable death in the mountains, with their bodies never even being discovered and eaten by wild animals.
That scene was so despairing that it was simply unbearable.
"Why!"
Upon hearing this, Abide Leier smiled wryly and said, "Brother, the question now isn't whether we want to leave or not, but whether the Great Liang Empire will let us go..."
By this point, they had already unified the entire continent and controlled the surrounding coastline. Unless their people could fly, there was absolutely no way out.
Moreover, strange things have been flying overhead from time to time lately, which is definitely not a good sign and gave him a sense of foreboding.
He had heard of the Great Liang Empire, that it possessed a magical device that could fly through the sky and transmit intelligence to the Great Liang Empire army. If such a device were above his own men, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Given the tyranny of the Great Liang Empire, it's unlikely they'll let these 100,000 people go; they'll probably slaughter them all.
"Above the head?"
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and sure enough, they could vaguely see several black dots. Their faces immediately turned pale.
Abide Leier had heard this news before, and so had they; the claim was that the Great Liang Empire could manipulate the stars in the sky to monitor the underworld.
It was precisely because of the existence of this thing that the Frostwest Empire suffered a crushing defeat back then, and now it has come to our turn.
It makes sense, considering that all the surrounding empires have already been destroyed. Now that the enemy has time to find their whereabouts, they would naturally use such advanced technology.
At this thought, everyone felt a sense of despair.
James, his face pale, said, "Boss, what do we do now? Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?"
If all else fails, we might as well give up and fight.
He didn't want to die, nor did he want to wait here to die; that would be a death without dignity.
He had considered surrendering, but whether the other side would accept it was another matter, and his fate would be entirely out of his control, which would be even more tragic.
We came here to rob them; to be honest, if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't have agreed to this situation either.
Abide Leier was about to speak when she suddenly realized something was wrong and instantly became alert.
Suddenly, a dense cacophony of sounds came from ahead in the forest, as if something was rapidly approaching.
He reacted quickly, exclaiming, "Oh no! The enemy has found us and is already attacking!"
Such a commotion couldn't possibly be caused by a few wild animals, unless it was a pack of wild boars.
However, wild boars couldn't possibly charge in so forcefully against an army like theirs, so it could only be the people of the Great Liang Empire.
Then he looked up at the sky, and his expression changed drastically in an instant. The stars that were previously just tiny dots had now grown larger and were right above their heads.
At this moment, they finally saw the so-called stars clearly: they were strange objects with a box underneath, inside which were several soldiers from the Great Liang Empire.
At this moment, red ribbons hung from the bottom of these frames, like arrows pointing directly to them.
"Holy shit!"
James's face turned from dark to green; he'd definitely been discovered, so he was being directed here.
This is a huge problem. Not only did the enemy find their location, but they also managed to break in.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Bastards, they're actually watching me from the sky! Men, shoot them down! These dogs!"
"Those lackeys of the Great Liang Empire! They made me eat several days' worth of meat for nothing!"
The soldiers below also became enraged and started firing wildly with their bows and arrows. At first, they felt relieved, but they soon realized that something was wrong.
Arrows that had been fired earlier rained down like raindrops. Before they could even react, a large number of soldiers had already died from their own arrows.
Abide Leier dodged while roaring, " James, what the hell are you doing? Are you looking to die?"
What's the difference between shooting into the sky and throwing stones at your own head?
That's absolutely idiotic.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Retreat quickly! We need to continue deeper into the enemy territory. We can't stay here any longer; the enemy will definitely send even more troops, and then we'll be completely wiped out."
As they had expected, Chen Dao's White Feather Soldiers and Wang Ping's Wudang Flying Army rushed over at that moment.
As two legions familiar with mountain warfare, they directly replaced Xue Rengui's mission, taking charge of pursuing and capturing Abide Leier.
Initially, the plan was to starve them out, but these guys dared to probe the outside, which prompted Lin Rusong to take drastic measures.
You're hiding, aren't you?
Hiding at the ends of the earth won't work; offending the Great Liang Empire means certain death.
Thus, the White Feather Soldiers ' opportunity arrived.
Seeing the red banner rapidly approaching overhead, Chen Dao's eyes flashed with ecstatic joy; he had finally located the enemy's position.
This time it was finally my turn to make a move.
These bastards went nowhere else but to the mountains and forests, thinking they could escape this time. They were wrong.
Mountain warfare is also one of his strengths, Shanyue is something he used to be good at, which he can now put to good use again.
He smiled at Wang Ping beside him, a provocative look on his face, and said, "Brother Wang Ping, let's see who comes out on top this time!"
Although Wang Ping was just an ordinary general in the Great Liang Empire, he knew the strength of the Wudang Flying Army under his command, which was definitely no less than his own White Feather Soldiers.
Now, the Dashan warfare are going to have a showdown in the mountains to see who can get more kills.
"Haha, I'm not afraid of you! They are the prey of my Wudang Flying Army!" Wang Ping laughed loudly and charged forward.
This move is bound to make the Wudang Flying Army famous and impress the Emperor, so that their future will be much brighter.
They quickly caught up with each other, and a battle ensued.
