Chapter Ninety-Six
"Who's coming?" A deafening roar suddenly came from not far away, followed by a large group of soldiers and horses appearing at the corner at the end of the path, and a banner with the word "Wei" written on it at the front of the team fluttered in the wind. Their attire was very similar to that of yesterday's deserters, but they were more imposing, and they looked a little higher in rank than those deserters.
War Dragon hurriedly reined in his horse, stared at them without flinching, and was silent, secretly planning in his heart a good strategy to let Ning Yue retreat.
"Don't think that if you don't answer, I'll let you go, and the acquaintance will be recruited from the truth as soon as possible, otherwise General Ben will never spare you!" Since the rumors spread, more or less soldiers in each battalion of the Wei army have disappeared silently, but in one day, the Wei army lost more than 10,000 troops, and there are not a few people in the army who have no intentions. When the general learned of this, he was furious, so he sent his henchmen and generals to lead dozens of elites to patrol within a radius of several miles, and as long as they saw deserters, they would be detained and dealt with by military law. This self-proclaimed general was ordered to come here to hunt down the deserters, and happened to meet Zhan Long and Ning Yue. A pair of men and women in front of him looked upright and dressed luxuriously, and estimated that they were probably the children of a wealthy family, and he had the intention of letting them pass, but he accidentally found that the man was covered in blood and had a sword tied around his waist, so he intercepted them and interrogated them in detail.
"General...... I know this person......" A soldier behind the general looked at Zhan Long, and immediately trembled with fright, and he still vividly remembered the tragic scene of corpses in the village in the past.
The general stared at the elite in front of him with disdain, and now he was cowering, and he was angry in his heart, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Say! ”
"General...... He...... He was the man who broke into the village alone and killed and wounded hundreds of our brothers......" Looking at the war dragon that exuded a cold and murderous aura, the soldier replied with a choked voice.
"It's you! God open your eyes! Today I will avenge those who died by your sword! Everyone listen to the order, kill! Before the soldier could reply, the general brandished his spear and rushed forward. Although the rest of the cadres and others had heard a little about the deeds of the war dragon with one enemy and one hundred, they had always been suspicious in their hearts, and after receiving the order at this time, they all raised their blades and approached him without hesitation, in order to see if he was really as brave and invincible as the rumors said. Only the soldier did not advance but retreated, standing behind from a distance and watching the battle.
"Get on your horse, hold on to the reins, and don't look back." Seeing this, Zhan Long knew that a fierce battle was inevitable, so he hurriedly whispered a word in Ning Yue's ear, then pressed her on the horse's back, and he jumped off the horse. "Run!" After speaking, the long whip in the war dragon's hand landed heavily on the brown-haired horse, making a muffled crack. The frightened brown-haired horse immediately became flustered, and after a wail on his front legs off the ground, he galloped aimlessly and wantonly as if he were frenzied.
As the scenery in front of him changed rapidly, the screams of the soldiers became more and more indistinct, and finally, only the whistling wind remained in my ears. In the face of this sudden change, Ning Yue felt in a trance, caught off guard, and lost her mind for a while, her heart was blank, and the only thing she could think of was to desperately hold the brown-haired horse and not let it throw herself off. After a long time, when she came to her senses, she looked back and saw that the war dragon and those soldiers were gone. I'm sorry, I can't follow your orders this time, I'm going back! Ning Yue gritted her teeth, let go of her hands, and let herself fall from the galloping horse. She rolled on the ground a few times before she could stabilize, but her whole body was also scarred by this, and the blood marks of different sizes were clearly visible, and the pain was terrible. Ning Yue endured the pain, didn't want to delay for a moment, and took firm steps and ran back along the same path.
"General, that little girl has run away!" In the melee, a soldier found that the brown-haired horse was running away with Ning Yue on his back, and hurriedly shouted.
"It's not that I'm afraid that I will die under my sword, so I want to use the excuse to escape." Before the general could reply, Zhan Long sneered, his tone full of arrogance.
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers were all so angry that they were glaring, their blood was flowing, and they were confused in anger, thinking that even if they risked their lives, they would break the war dragon into thousands of pieces, and the attack became more and more rapid, where could they still care about chasing Ning Yue. Seeing that they had dispelled the idea of arresting Ning Yue, the war dragon was secretly happy in his heart, and planned to delay Ning Yue for some more time, and then take the opportunity to take the horse and leave, but unfortunately the dozens of officers and soldiers had already killed the red eyes, and they actually fought with their lives, and they were fierce, and they worked hard to make every effort, and after dozens of rounds, the war dragon gradually felt physically exhausted, the long sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and his movements slowed down significantly. Seeing this, several skilled soldiers used their housekeeping skills, and the war dragon was unable to dodge several times, and was pierced by the spear from the chest and back, and the blood gushed from the wound, dyed red and white. I didn't expect to be seriously injured by these nobodies! It's hateful! Looks like I can't go...... I only hope that she can return to the barracks safely...... The war dragon spat out a mouthful of blood, Shicai's dizziness and exhaustion were suddenly swept away, he held a long sword, standing against the wind, heroic posture, solemn expression, intimidating. Since you can't live long, it's better to kill one more enemy. Thinking of this, the war dragon displayed a fast and fierce swordsmanship, only attacking but not defending, putting his life and death out of the way, in the blink of an eye, the remaining soldiers lost more than half, and most of the surviving soldiers were injured, seeing that the war dragon was as terrifying as a mad demon, they all hurriedly retreated, not daring to get close for half a minute, their faces were full of horror and fear.
"Today is your limit, and you don't want to live!" The war dragon spat out another mouthful of blood, and after wiping the blood from his mouth with his sleeve, he declared majestically.
When everyone heard this, they were like falling into an ice cave, and they were so frightened that they couldn't help but tremble again and again, but their feet didn't obey the call, and they couldn't move a single inch anyway.
"Don't look at your own appearance before you boast about Haikou, it seems that your blood will soon run out, we just need to stand here and wait, and we can consume you to death without much effort!" The general suppressed the trembling in his heart and shouted calmly.
As the general expected, the war dragon who had lost his fighting spirit didn't even have the strength to stand in a moment, and could only barely support his body with the long sword in his hand, so as not to fall.
"Big boss!" Vaguely, the war dragon seemed to hear Ning Yue's voice echoing in his ears. Am I dying? The war dragon raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sound, and a familiar figure suddenly appeared in his blurred vision. It's you? It's you! Why are you coming back? The war dragon felt a suffocation in his chest, and spat out another mouthful of blood. Approaching and seeing the war dragon kneeling on one knee in a pool of blood, holding a long sword in one hand, and covering his chest and vomiting blood with the other hand, Ning Yue's heart was like a knife, tears welled up in her eyes, she stumbled up, hugged the war dragon tightly, and couldn't cry. "Great master, please don't die, don't leave me...... Woohoo......"
Hearing Ning Yue's sad cry, Zhan Long's anger disappeared, and there was only pity left in his heart, he sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to hug her tightly, and whispered, "Why don't you listen to me...... Now I can't protect you anymore......"
"Whether I live or die, I have no regrets...... I just ask you not to leave me alone......" Ning Yue replied with a whimper, word by word, sincerely.
"How could I be willing to leave you...... It's just that I want you to live, let you live happily......" After speaking, the war dragon coughed a few times and almost fainted.
Ning Yue let the war dragon lean on him, gently smoothing his back, not knowing how to answer. Let her live happily and happily, this is not only his hope, but also her mother's last wish, but if the war dragon dies because of her, how can she be happy for the rest of her life?
Seeing that the two of them were in love with each other, the general swore an alliance with each other, leaving them with nothing, and felt helpless, so he persuaded him with kind words: "Girl, this person has a common enmity with us, today is either he dies or we die, you should leave quickly, so as not to be innocent." ”
Looking at the war dragon frowning in his arms, Ning Yue replied softly: "I won't go......" and then used his slender body to protect the war dragon.
The general observed for a long time, and when he saw that the war dragon seemed to be unable to move, he immediately ordered his subordinates, who were less than ten people, to fight against them.
