The cry of someone made everyone aghast until they woke up from their sleep. They were shocked by the sudden attack from the heavily armed forces. The armor worn was a soldier of the Xili Kingdom.
"A surprise attack," they were all in a hurry preparing to take their respective weapons.
Swords, spears and shields were taken origin to protect themselves from the sudden attack of the Xili warrior. They are as strong as possible to provide resistance to defend themselves.
Trang ... trang .. sring ...
The sounds of swords and spears clashed against each other. Soldiers continued to pound the enemy's defenses while they were still exhausted from just waking up.
Zhaoling, Liu Wei, and Yu Xuan who saw the Xili troops coming suddenly shouted. "Hey, stop you all! Stop this battle!"
However, the soldiers did not hear the call of their leader and continued to pound the enemy blindly. "Haaaaaa," cried the Xili troops excitedly.
The masked robbers who were unprepared for this impromptu attack also became overwhelmed during the fight. Many of those who were heavily injured, even died were killed by soldiers.
"Stop .. stop!" yell Zhaoling again. However, again and again they ignored Zhaoling's exclamation.
General Hui immediately approached with several soldiers. "commander. You're all right? Sorry, we're late to save you!" he said full of regrets.
"General Hui. Immediately tell them to stop. It's my order!" zhaoling said firmly.
General Hui shook his head. "Sorry, Commander! This army is assigned directly by the Emperor to quell all evil and immediately save you," he said no less firmly. "Come, soldier! We destroyed this iron cage so that Commander Zhaoling can be freed from this place," he said, without regard to Zhaoling's orders.
The soldiers immediately attempted to damage the cage made of iron, and some fought against the Masked Marauders. They tried their hardest to destroy the iron cage, but it seems that this cage is very difficult to destroy.
Zhaoling continued to shout at all of his troops. "Stop. Don't attack them!" but no one listened to his words.
Zhaoling had reason not to attack the Masked Marauder, after they had spoken earlier. The man asked Mr. Khong the reason they robbed Nobles who crossed the border.
Mr. Khong as the leader of the group was initially hesitant to tell Zhaoling the real reason. However, the man assured Mr. Khong that the three would not attack them. Finally, the middle-aged man agreed to tell a story.
Mr. Khong told me all the reasons behind his robbery. As a poor people who are often oppressed by high officials, of course Mr. Khong hates them very much. A sense of vengeance that made him a State villain, yet a hero to all commoners.
What a contrary nature to what everyone thinks, including Zhaoling. But, even then, the actions of Mr. Khong and his group are a crime. However, the law still applies in this country and of course there is law enforcement.
Seeing his army that did not stop attacking, Zhaoling was angry. Moreover, many casualties fell from both sides. So Zhaoling expended his internal energy to bend the iron bars, so that he could get out of the cage.
"Haaaaaaaaa," Zhaoling's two hands gripped the iron bars, then pulled them by force.
The iron bar was bent and then broke and fell to the ground. He rushed out of the cage heading into the middle of the battle.
Everyone who saw the power of Zhaoling widened their eyes. They did not expect that their leader would turn out to be that great. Then, why didn't he just do that yesterday and run away from here?
"I said stop" he shouted Zhaoling as he spread his hand. His face turned fierce. This time he was really angry.
"commander. You can't just stop us. After all, those criminals must be immediately captured and exterminated from the face of this earth. This is a direct order from the Emperor" General Hui said loudly.
Zhaoling pulled the collar of General Hui's shirt. You are under my leadership. So, you must bow down to me! After all, I can take care of them in my own way." he said in a high tone.
General Hui did not budge, he remained in his stance. "Sorry, Commander Zhaoling. Even though you are our leader, the position of the Emperor is higher than yours. So, we must still carry out the duties that the Emperor commanded!" he then shook off Zhaoling's hand.
Zhaoling was furious at the attitude that General Hui had taken at the moment. He was inexhaustible, how could General Hui ignore his orders? In fact, all this time he never once doubted the plan Zhaoling did to overcome all the problems that exist. But today, he was acting very strange.
Zhaoling raised his hand to ask General Hui for something. "There's a token from His Majesty, if you're actually sent by him!"
General Hui was surprised that Zhaoling asked that. He looked clumsy and misbehaved. There was something strange that was caught by Zhaoling's current vision. The general he always trusted, probably betrayed him.
General Hui's sudden behavior made Zhaoling even more suspicious. Moreover, he was nervous at the time of speaking. "His Majesty's To-Token is in this pocket. B-but it fell when it went into the forest," he said.
The general's tone made Zhaoling even more convinced that something was wrong. Liu Wei and Yu Xuan who understood what his Master was thinking immediately acted. "Retreat!" he shouted at the masked robbers.
The remaining masked robbers were only a few dozen people, including Mr. Khong Guan and his five adopted children. They rushed away after hearing the instructions from the Zhaoling shadow bodyguards.
Seeing his prey run away, General Hui was furious. "What are you doing?" harden it on Liu Wei and Yu Xuan. He immediately told his troops to chase, but Zhaoling blocked him.
"If you dare to chase after him, then face me first!" zhaoling said with great emphasis.
The soldiers certainly did not dare to fight Zhaoling, who had great strength. They turned to General Hui for his approval. After all, Zhaoling was the Commander-in-Chief and Third Prince of Xili. They did not dare to act rashly to attack that supreme leader.
"commander. If you refuse His Majesty's order, you are opposing the Kingdom for defending the enemy!" exclaim General Hui.
"If you take it that way, I don't reject it. After all, my wife used to be considered a traitor as well and was punished. So, I don't mind!" sahut Zhaoling firmly.
General Hui nodded. "Alright, Commander. Don't blame us for being merciless to you. Even if you are the Third Prince, we will not hesitate to fight you. Prepare to receive our attack," cried General Hui as he raised his weapon. "Yeahaaaaat,"
