章 3508: Risking Life to Protect Each Other

Four horse carriages were stopped halfway up a mountain road, and dozens of men in black fought with the guards escorting those carriages. It seemed that the passengers in the carriages were mostly women, children and the elderly. The sound of children's voices could faintly be heard from within. As the last carriage was split in half by a sword and toppled over to both sides, the young women and children who had been huddled inside also came into everyone's view.

"Woohoo…"

"Help…help us, aah…"

"Father, Father…"

Cries for help were drowned out by the chaotic clash of swords. When he heard the cries from behind, the middle-aged man fighting with the men in black at the front became distracted. Wanting to look back, he let his guard down and his arm was slashed by a sword.

"Hiss!"

"Master!" When a woman saw this, she cried out and hurried to his side to block the incoming sword.

"Clang!"
