Daqin: The beginning of the collapse of the sky, sweeping across the Western Regions

At this moment, the two guards walked briskly along the winding path towards the cave.

Their relaxed demeanor showed their familiarity and composure with this routine shift assignment.

The sunlight shines through the dense branches and leaves, casting mottled shadows, shining on the two people.

They chatted and laughed all the way, and seemed to have gotten used to this monotonous and peaceful lifestyle.

However, when they were only a few hundred meters away from the cave, the sound of fierce fighting suddenly reached their ears.

The expressions of the two men suddenly became solemn, and the originally relaxed atmosphere was broken, replaced by an uneasy atmosphere.

They stopped and listened quietly to the sound that was becoming clearer and clearer.

The voice was so powerful and angry that it seemed as if the whole valley was shaking.

There were also the crisp sounds of swords clashing and occasional roars.

The two looked at each other, tension and fear flashing in their eyes.

They knew that such noises meant something dangerous was happening in the cave, but they didn't know how to respond.

As time passed, their heartbeats became faster and faster, and they unconsciously clenched their weapons.

They dared not move forward rashly for fear of getting into danger.

Finally, after some thought, a guard whispered, "We can't just wait here, we have to go and check out the situation."

The other guard nodded nervously, and the two looked at each other before taking another step forward.

With every step they took, they felt their heartbeats getting faster and faster, as if they were about to jump out of their throats.

"What on earth is going on? Is there really someone invading our place?"

One of the guards asked in a low voice, with a slight tremor in his voice.

Another guard swallowed hard, his eyes showing deep anxiety: "It sounds like the situation is very bad. If we rush in rashly, we might lose our lives!"

They are not rookies who have just stepped onto the battlefield. Their intuition about danger is much sharper than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, they clearly felt the huge crisis hidden behind the sound of fierce fighting, and knew that rushing in rashly might bring unexpected consequences.

"How about we find a place to hide first and observe carefully before making a decision?"

The first guard suggested, looking around for a safe place to hide.

The second guard thought about it and thought it was a good idea. After all, it is better to be safe than sorry, so he nodded in agreement.

Although they are both passionate, it does not mean that they are willing to easily become victims of unknown dangers.

So the two guards quietly retreated behind a hidden bush, held their breath, and tried to observe the movements in the cave from the dim light and sparse leaves.

Their hearts were beating like drums and the sweat in their hands soaked the handles of their weapons.

They knew that the decision at this moment could mean the difference between life and death.

The two guards had just hidden themselves, and before they had time to catch their breath, a shrill scream was heard from the cave.

The sound was full of pain and fear, piercing through the heavy night sky and reaching the ears of the two guards.

Their faces turned pale instantly, the weapons in their hands clenched involuntarily, and their bodies pressed closer involuntarily, and they could feel each other's body trembling.

"Oh my god, that's..."

One guard's voice trembled and he was unable to continue.

Another guard swallowed his saliva, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes: "It's the two brothers who were guarding here just now. They... They are definitely finished."

They knew in their hearts that the scream just now meant that the guard in the cave had met with misfortune, and judging from the sound, he was almost dying or had already died.

This made the two guards feel extremely terrified, as they didn't know if they would be the next victim.

They held their weapons tightly, ready to deal with the impending danger.

They realized that they had to be careful not to expose their position easily.

In this tense moment, they need to think calmly, protect themselves and find a way out.

"We have to tread carefully,"

A guard whispered, uneasiness evident in his voice.

The other guard nodded in agreement.

They carefully observed their surroundings, keeping an eye out for any suspicious movements.

They prayed in their hearts that they would be safe, but the reality filled them with worry and fear.

In this situation, if the two of them rushed in, they would most likely follow in his footsteps.

"We...we have to go back and report it."

A guard said nervously, his voice full of urgency and panic.

The other guard nodded, but his eyes revealed determination: "No, we can't both leave. I have to stay here and monitor. If any enemy escapes, at least we will know immediately."

"If we all go back, the general will definitely not let us go."

After making the decision, one of the guards turned around and left as quickly as lightning. His figure disappeared into the night, leaving only a series of hurried footsteps echoing in the air.

His mission was to report the situation here and seek support.

He knew that time was running out and every second was crucial.

The other guard carefully hid his figure and blended into the surrounding darkness like a ghost.

His eyes were fixed on the entrance of the cave, his gaze so sharp that it seemed as if he could penetrate the darkness and take in everything.

His ears trembled slightly, keenly capturing any slightest sound. Even the slightest movement could not escape his vigilance.

He listened attentively, ready to respond to any eventuality.

The guards hiding in the darkness felt unprecedented tension and pressure.

He knew that he had a heavy responsibility and could not slack off at all.

His heart beat faster and his breathing became heavy, but he suppressed his inner fear and dared not make a sound.

Various possible scenarios kept emerging in his mind, and the unknown dangers made him feel frightened.

However, as a guard, he knew clearly what his mission was.

No matter what terrors and challenges await him ahead, he must stick to his post and never back down.

This is his responsibility and his honor.

He silently told himself: "I must persevere and protect everyone!"

In this way, one guard hurried back to the camp with the message for help, while the other guard stood alone in the cold night wind, praying silently in his heart, hoping that he could survive this crisis safely.

Their courage and determination are like the twinkling stars in the night sky, faint but extremely firm.
