Li Mu The members of the team behind him drew their knives one by one, the blades shimmering with cold light in the rain. As the raindrops touched the blades, they were cut open and fell to the ground with a pitter-patter. Li Mu was about to lead the team forward into the room ahead, where candlelight flickered and figures moved, but was stopped by Lin Yu.
Li Mu furrowed his brow in confusion and lowered his voice, saying, "What are we waiting for? Isn't this a perfect opportunity to catch them all at once?"
Lin Yu's gaze remained calm and alert. He said in a low voice, "Be careful... we've fallen into a trap... It seems that the family from earlier has already transmitted their information here at some point."
Li Mu couldn't believe it and said with wide eyes, "Lin Yu! Are you crazy? There's no one around here at all."
Lin Yu paid no attention to Li Mu's surprise, still staring at the room ahead. The faint candlelight shone through the window, casting shadows in the room. Lin Yu's intuition told him that things were not going to be that simple. He whispered, "Listen to me, everything here is too quiet, not like the normal state for our surprise attack. They might have known we were coming, and these shadows might just be a diversion."
Li Mu furrowed his brow, knowing that Lin Yu's judgment was always accurate, but he found it hard to accept the current situation. He calmed down, re-examined his surroundings, and began to notice some unusual details. The sound of rain masked everything, but in the drizzle, there seemed to be some faint abnormal movements.
The team members also became alert, their ears perked up, listening carefully to the sounds around them. Suddenly, Lin Yu caught a flash of light from above, almost instinctively he shouted, "Be careful!" But it was already too late.
Several sharp arrows shot down from above, accompanied by the piercing sound of breaking through the air, the arrows were swift and deadly. One team member didn't even have time to react, and was directly pierced through the heart by an arrow, falling to the ground, blood spraying on the rain-soaked ground. The remaining team members quickly dispersed, seeking cover.
"Damn it!" Li Mu growled, his face showing shock and anger. He turned to Lin Yu, unable to hide his anger, "We are surrounded!"
Lin Yu looked serious and quickly ordered, "Disperse immediately, find the sniper's position! Be careful, don't act recklessly!"
The team members quickly dispersed, seeking cover while cautiously observing their surroundings, searching for the enemy's position. The pouring rain muffled most of the sounds, making it difficult for them to accurately determine the enemy's location.
Li Mu felt unwilling, but still obeyed Lin Yu's command. He quickly surveyed the surroundings, trying to find the enemy's weakness. He knew that in such a situation, impatience would only make things worse.
Just as everyone was regrouping, a sudden explosion erupted from the room, accompanied by a blaze of fire and a deafening roar. Lin Yu and Li Mu quickly dodged, their eyes alert as they watched ahead. In the midst of the flames, a deep voice sounded, "Damn it! Yang Hao's dogs... have actually found their way here!"
As the smoke and fire gradually dissipated, a man clad in full body armor appeared at the doorway. His beard was streaked with white, but he still exuded vigor and his voice was booming. His armor bore clear signs of battle damage, indicating that he had been through countless fights. Behind him stood a group of people, each wielding weapons, their eyes filled with cold determination. Several archers swiftly appeared on the walls on either side, agile in their movements and already aiming at Lin Yu and his group.
Li Mu felt a chill in his heart, immediately realizing the danger of the situation. He whispered, "Lin Yu, these people are well-prepared, we must respond quickly."
Lin Yu nodded, his gaze remaining calm. He knew well that the enemies before them were not to be underestimated. He quietly told his team, "Disperse and avoid the archers' shooting range. Be careful of their armor, this battle won't be easy."
Li Mu suddenly taunted loudly, "You old dog, how dare you show up here! The rotten goods of the former dynasty should have perished along with the Showa Dynasty long ago!"
Upon hearing Li Mu's provocation, the armored man showed a hint of a cold smile on his face. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Li Mu, I never expected this traitor to still be alive. Today, let me, Xia Po, personally send you all to hell!"
Xia Po was a general of the former dynasty, who had repelled the enemy countless times on the battlefield and was a hero of the Showa Dynasty. However, with the rise of the Yuanxi Dynasty, he chose to hide and no longer appeared on the battlefield. Now reappearing, his eyes are filled with hatred and killing intent.
Lin Yu coldly stared at Xia Po, his thoughts racing. This battle would be difficult. He quickly gave orders to his team members: "Beware of his long spear, his attack range is large. We must divert their attention and defeat them one by one."
Xia Po sneered and waved to signal the people behind him to attack: "Yang Hao's lackeys, today is your death date! Get them!"
In an instant, the battle erupted as Xia Po's men surged towards Lin Yu and his group like a tide. The archers' arrows shot out in an instant, cutting through the air with a fierce whistling sound. Lin Yu and Li Mu quickly dodged, their figures agilely weaving through the arrow rain, avoiding the deadly shots.
Lin Yu's figure flashed like a ghost, his gaze locked onto Xia Po, calmly assessing the situation. He quickly approached the wall, using the narrow space for cover, while drawing his dual blades, ready to meet the enemy's attack at any moment.
Li Mu, on the other hand, taunted Xia Po loudly, trying to attract his attention: " Xia Po, you old dog, your glory in the Showa Dynasty is long gone! Today, I will personally send you back to hell!"
Xia Po's eyes turned cold, roaring loudly, he raised his spear and charged fiercely towards Li Mu. His attacks were extremely fierce, the spear thrusting out like a venomous snake, each strike carrying deadly force.
Li Mu wielded his sword to meet the attack, their weapons clashing fiercely in the air, sparks flying. Each confrontation was accompanied by heavy force, shaking the ground. Although young, Li Mu was agile, evading each attack and searching for Xia Po's weaknesses.
The two of them were simultaneously dealing with the former general Xia Po, with the interweaving of blades and swords in the rain, erupting in a series of intense metal collisions. Despite being fully armored, Xia Po moved with agility, and every strike was filled with strength and precision. Lin Yu and Li Mu cooperated tacitly, with organized offense and defense, attempting to find the flaw in Xia Po.
At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly heard a faint sound of horse hooves. Even in the rain and chaos of war, Lin Yu's extraordinary hearing still detected this subtle sound. His heart sank, quickly making a judgment: this was no ordinary sound of horse hooves, but a troop of cavalry rapidly moving away.
Lin Yu suddenly understood that Xia Po was only staying behind to cover the retreat and protect the other former dynasty's officials. Their true target was not here, but those who had already escaped.
"Be careful, Li Mu! They are covering the retreat!" Lin Yu loudly warned, while accelerating the attack with the long sword in an attempt to force Xia Po to reveal a flaw.
