42 First Wave Attack

The wheels rolled forward, and the horses, which had rested all night, ran merrily. An Ran leaned on the arms of the five princes, contemplated with his eyebrows, and Shaoqing asked: Is this the quiet before the war? The fifth prince looked into the distance and said calmly: For us, yes. From the moment we marched towards the dragon vein, the three great battles had begun. The first battlefield was the battle for the throne, where the second and third brothers seized the throne; The second battlefield is the border, and the surrounding four countries are in full war with Zhongzhou; The third battlefield is the Battle for the Orb, where the masters of the Four Kingdoms will ambush us on our way to the Dragon Vein. An Ran's body was unconsciously tense, and the fifth prince felt An Ran's nervousness, hugged An Ran into his arms, and then said: Don't worry, my father has already arranged it, our task is only to put the orb in the dragon vein, although the journey is very dangerous, but I will protect you.

An Ran said: I'm not afraid of death, but I just think of the war in the world, I don't know how many people will be killed and injured, wives are separated, and white-haired people send black-haired people. Can it be avoided?

"It is inevitable that the greedy nature of human beings will erupt every once in a while, fighting and wrestling, devastation, and then introspection, recuperation, and then fighting."

"Is that the sooner we put the orb in the dragon vein, the sooner we can end the war?" An Ran asked.

"Yes, yesterday's rest for the night was to recharge your energy, after all, you have been hunted and killed, and you are very nervous. But now the situation is urgent, and we will have to travel day and night after we get out of this hilly area, and you must be prepared to endure hardships. ”

"Understood, I'm in good health, it's okay to work hard, let's hurry up." An Ran said urgently.

"Okay", the fifth prince instructed Li Mo, "Speed up!" Li Mo answered, raised his whip and made a sound in the air, and the four war horses raised their hooves and galloped. The terrain was undulating, the carriage was a little bumpy, the five princes put An Ran on their laps, surrounded An Ran with their own cloaks, wrapped An Ran's waist with two strong arms, and held An Ran firmly in his arms, An Ran felt warm and secure.

At noon, the carriage drove out of the hills, turned over a small earthen bag, and the endless green grassland suddenly appeared in front of me, the grass was half a man high, yellow, white, and purple flowers dotted among them, like stars in the sky, and some tall trees were scattered among them.

Before An Ran observed the terrain, he saw more than a dozen black shadows running over not far from the left front, before anyone arrived, the hidden weapon had broken through the air, and the five princes quickly kicked the wheel with their feet, and quickly retreated with their strength, put An Ran on the stool in the carriage, got up and faced An Ran and said: Don't be afraid, there is me, close the car door, don't come out. An Ran nodded, and the fifth prince touched An Ran's head with his hand, turned around, jumped out, and walked out of the carriage.

An Ran saw the five princes get out of the carriage, quickly pressed the mechanism, closed the door, and protected herself, she didn't know martial arts, and she couldn't drag the five princes back. An Ran opened the observation hole on the car, and saw that the masked man in black had arrived in front of the car more than ten meters away, a total of 15, the coachman Chen Cheng and Li Mo were holding machetes and dialing hidden weapons, and the five princes stood behind the two, holding swords in both hands, watching the enemy.

More than a dozen masked black-clothed people came to the front, without saying a word, fifteen black-clothed people surrounded the three of them, and the wheel knife was cut, and the speed of the knife was extremely fast, and the fifteen people cooperated tacitly, and the blade surrounded the people impenetrable, and An Ran was terrified to see it, and he couldn't move in front of these masters. But the instinct to survive made An Ran unconsciously put her hand into her arms, took out the pistol-like weapon given to her by her ancestors, and stretched out the muzzle of the gun from the observation hole, ready to strike at any time.

An Ran stared intently at the dozen or so people who were in a ball centered on the five princes, swords and swords, grass clippings flying, and blood splashing from time to time. The fight lasted for five minutes, and the two sides were evenly matched, and although there were injuries from each side, it was not serious. Suddenly, a man in black whistled, and saw the three men in black withdraw from the fighting circle, turned around and pounced on the carriage that An Ran was riding, An Ran's heart tightened, forced himself to calm down, held the gun in both hands, pressed the trigger without hesitation, and fired a hidden weapon at the three men in black, hitting the chest of the man in black.

The five princes, Chen Cheng and Li Mo were very nervous and worried when they saw the three men in black running towards the carriage, and wanted to follow them, but they were helplessly surrounded by more than a dozen people, and they couldn't get out for a while, and they were relieved to see the three men in black fall to the ground inexplicably. An Ran saw that the black-clothed man led by him had angry eyes, and suddenly took out a black ball the size of an orange from his sleeve and threw it to the ground, and black smoke immediately came out of the ball. The fifth prince, Chen Cheng and Li Mo saw black smoke coming out, and hurriedly covered their noses with their sleeves, but it was too late, they felt that it was dark in front of them, and the three of them fell to the ground.
