Forced love, an inescapable fate

Fortunately, Li Feng did not hesitate too much. After a moment, he made up his mind and decided to give it a try.

"Okay. In that case, I will do as Your Highness says. I will immediately arrange for the soldiers to prepare."

Hearing this, Jiang Ci let out a long sigh and spoke.

"Well, let's go together. We can set up some traps around here first. The terrain here is high and there are trees around. We will be in the dark while the enemy will be in the light. After we set up the traps, they can eliminate some of the enemies in the battle later."

"Your Highness can also set traps?" Li Feng asked in surprise.

"I understand it a little, but I'm not completely proficient. I read a military book in Dongli Town these past two years and was quite interested in it, so I read it several times. However, as for the power of this trap, it still needs to be verified in the next actual combat."

The two men talked as they walked, and then each led a team of people. Li Feng was responsible for leading people to sort out the remaining bows and arrows and arrange archers on standby, while Jiang Ci was responsible for leading soldiers to set traps.

These soldiers had been baptized by the battlefield and were not at all panicked when faced with this situation. They continued to perform their duties and made preparations for the battle in an orderly manner.

About half an hour later, a large number of killers rushed up. They knew that the people were there, and because of the black-clothed men who appeared out of nowhere in front of them, part of their troops were dispersed. At this time, they did not want any other accidents, so they chose to suppress them with numbers, so all the killers gathered together and rushed up.

At this time, the trap set by Jiang Ci took effect.

Although the killers were careful, they did not expect that they would make preparations in advance, so they stepped into the trap without any preparation. Inside the trap was a sharp knife buried upside down. They were not prepared, and by the time they reacted, their bodies had been pierced.

The assassins behind reacted. They were greeted by archers who had been ambushing them in the trees. Although it was dark, the advance preparations, coupled with the traps just now, had thrown the assassins off guard. So when the arrows came, even these assassins, who were usually known for their caution, were caught off guard. At this moment, all the killing skills they had trained in daily life became useless.

Li Feng couldn't help but exclaim in relief when he heard the wailing coming from the front.

After this wave of consumption, the number of killers was reduced by one third.

But it was not over yet. The torches that suddenly lit up around them made the killers' hearts tremble. Then a large number of soldiers armed with bows and arrows rushed out. They shot long arrows with fire at the killers who had just rushed out of the woods in panic. After a while, the killers who were shot by arrows were wrapped in flames and could only roar in pain.

Li Feng took advantage of the opportunity and led the remaining soldiers to attack the killer who was still in a panic.

This was probably the biggest Waterloo these killers had ever encountered in their careers. They were clearly killers in the dark, but they were forced into the open, and in such a miserable state, that they had no time to display their original strength.

While the killers were still not reacting, Jiang Ci quickly joined the battle. After a while, there were a large number of killers' bodies on the ground.

At this time, half of the killers had been eliminated. Although the remaining people had reacted, they had been suppressed in terms of momentum. In addition to the previous victory, the morale of the soldiers was high, and for a while the killers were forced to retreat.

But the good times didn't last long. After all, these killers were well-trained. After a brief defeat, they quickly adjusted themselves and both sides were already blood-thirsty.

As more and more soldiers fell, Li Feng's eyes turned red and he fought with them desperately.

Although the killers suffered heavy casualties, they received a death order before setting off, and they had to take Jiang Ci's life, otherwise they would be the ones to die.

So at this time, they became more and more crazy, almost to the point of risking their lives. Li Feng was already injured. But he still stood by Jiang Ci's side without any purpose.

Jiang Ci's expression gradually became heavy. It was obvious that he had not expected these people to be so crazy.

As the situation gradually became tense, some soldiers gradually became exhausted and were hacked to pieces by the crazy killers.

Looking at the situation before him, Jiang Ci was just about to order the hidden guards to take action when he saw another wave of men in black rushing in from all around. He had originally thought that they were the assassins' support and felt something was wrong. However, he discovered that these men in black were actually helping them. Although he was puzzled, he did not stop his actions.

With the addition of this wave of men in black, the pressure on Jiang Ci and the others was greatly reduced.

Half an hour later, all the killers were wiped out, and the men in black who suddenly appeared saw that the battle was nearing its end, so they left quietly without saying anything.

Seeing that they had no ill will towards him, Jiang Ci ignored them. He took a look at Li Feng's injuries and saw that he was fine. Then he took the uninjured soldiers to count the number of people.

The casualties this time were much more serious than last time, with more than 30 people killed and nearly 100 injured, but fortunately, all of them were minor injuries.

This result was obviously a little beyond Jiang Ci's expectations.

He looked at the corpses on the ground with a heavy expression, clenched the sword in his hand, and chopped hard at the tree on the side.

The tree was cut down and fell to the ground. Li Feng saw this and walked to his side. He reached out and patted his shoulder.

He consoled her, "Your Highness, it's much better now. These people are quite skilled. We're already very good at checking them all out. By the way, Your Highness, do you recognize those men in black just now? They helped us but didn't say anything. Are they your Highness's men?"

Li Feng had actually felt since that night that Jiang Ci had such great skills that he must have someone behind him, so it was impossible for him to be traveling alone. However, they had been traveling for so long and hadn't noticed anyone following them, so he guessed that those people just now might be Jiang Ci's men.

Jiang Ci put away the sword in his hand, slowly put the sword back into the scabbard, calmed himself down, and shook his head.

"I don't know them, but thanks to them, we wouldn't have been able to take them down so easily. Captain Li, you're injured. Go bandage the wound first, and I'll take care of the rest."

Li Feng was about to refuse, but he was injured in the shoulder, and the wound was not shallow. Excessive blood loss made him feel dizzy. Now was not the time to show off his strength, and there was no doubt about Jiang Ci's ability.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to Your Highness."

After the man left, Jiang Ci looked at the killer's body on the ground with a cold expression.

Sooner or later, he will get revenge.

He will not let go of any of those who want to kill him.

Under the night sky, the boy's tall body looked particularly lonely.
