Unexpectedly, both sides at Eagle's Beak Gorge stopped almost simultaneously and looked towards Chen Ke.
Chen Ke, dressed in tattered clothes, stood proudly on the hilltop, holding a broken black gun high.
On the broken spearhead was a head.
The lion-man general, who died with his eyes wide open, still stared with blood slowly flowing down his severed neck.
"Surrender and you will not be killed!" Chen Ke shouted again in a rough voice.
Eagle Beak Gorge was silent, but the next moment, both sides moved at the same time, letting out a deafening roar, and the battle became even more fierce.
Roar, roar, roar!
Five hundred orcs in the canyon and more than one hundred orc warriors climbing the mountaintop simultaneously unleashed their berserk spells, causing their bodies to swell dramatically as they launched a frenzied attack on the humans.
Chen Ke stared in astonishment at the scene, feeling incredibly embarrassed.
The script is wrong. Their leader is dead, shouldn't the remaining orcs surrender immediately?
Inside the carriage in the canyon, the Qin princess lowered the curtain and murmured, "Fool, don't you know that if an orc general who is a slave owner dies, all his subordinates will be implicated?"
They will not be pardoned unless the remaining orc soldiers and warriors are able to complete their mission.
This explains why the orc soldiers fought so fiercely when they saw their commander was dead.
However, there are two sides to every story. Chen Ke's raising of the lion-man general's head also greatly boosted the morale of the princess's guards.
Everyone realized that as long as they could withstand the orcs' final, frenzied attack, victory would be theirs.
Meanwhile, the experts on the mountaintop were much more relaxed. They had guessed that the orc vulture legion had met with misfortune.
With this major threat gone, they were able to focus all their efforts on dealing with the orc warriors who were climbing up.
call!
A gust of wind swept by, and the small hill where Chen Ke was located was instantly shrouded in a noisy cloud of dust.
Almost without warning, two blurry figures suddenly appeared behind Chen Ke.
Chen Ke broke out in a cold sweat, turned around abruptly, and took a step back in full alertness.
Two figures hovering in mid-air took a step forward. The old man on the left said coldly, "One million taels of silver for the head in your hand!"
As he spoke, ten silver notes lined up and flew out of the old man's hand, hovering neatly in front of Chen Ke.
Each silver note was as sharp as a knife, pointed directly at Chen Ke!
The ten silver notes, like ten deadly weapons, exuded a sharp killing intent, invading Chen Ke's body and bringing endless chills.
Chen Ke felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and dared not move an inch.
He knew he had met a true master; with just a thought, those ten silver notes could tear him to pieces.
But if he were to sell the heads he had for a million, he would be losing a lot of money.
Even a common soldier could be promoted three or four ranks for killing such a high-ranking general; if the general was a noble, further promotion and ennoblement would be a given.
Moreover, this head is related to the safety of the Qin princess, making it even more significant.
But at this moment, does Chen Ke have any room to refuse?
Despite his reluctance, Chen Ke had no choice but to nod, remove the severed head from the broken spear, and throw it at the old man.
The old man reached out and took the lion-man general's head, smiling with satisfaction.
"Kid, die!"
The middle-aged man beside the old man sneered and stabbed Chen Ke with his sword in a flash.
I knew it! It's the same old trick of killing someone to cover it up!
Chen Ke put away the last silver note, feigning surprise, and took two steps back in alarm.
The moment the blue lightsaber pierced his chest, Chen Ke clicked the right mouse button without hesitation.
If I can't handle the old folks, I can certainly handle you!
format!
puff!
The lightsaber pierced Chen Ke's shoulder, sending out a large spray of blood.
Almost simultaneously, Chen Ke moved with lightning speed, grabbing the middle-aged man by the neck.
Click, click!
Chen Ke moved with lightning speed, crushing the middle-aged man's shoulder blade and kneecap, and using the screaming man as a shield in front of him.
The sudden turn of events caught the old man off guard.
He took a sudden step forward, raised his right hand in a gesture of alarm and anger, and said, "Do you know who he is? Let him go!"
Chen Ke gave a sinister smile: "Who cares who you are? Do you think my credit is so easy to steal?!"
Click!
Chen Ke crushed the middle-aged man's forearm bone.
Dragging the middle-aged man's broken body, Chen Ke flew backward, his figure crashing through the noisy dust and flying out of the small hill.
With a whoosh, Chen Ke forcefully threw the middle-aged man out, turned around, and flew into the canyon.
"Our own people! Our own people!" Chen Ke, holding the broken spear, ran wildly, killing two orcs along the way, and finally reached the front of the armored soldiers' camp.
brush!
The ironclad legion, which was like a fortress, parted a gap and let Chen Ke in.
brush!
The ironclad formation closed again, keeping the few remaining orc soldiers outside.
Chen Ke glanced back and saw that the old man indeed did not dare to chase after him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He knew that the old man and the middle-aged man were fighting over the head for credit, and they certainly wouldn't risk being exposed by forcibly hunting him down.
"Young master, please wait! His Highness wishes to see you!" Two of the princess's personal guards leaped forward and blocked Chen Ke's path.
How awkward, how awkward. It's not really appropriate to meet at this time.
Chen Ke, clutching his bleeding shoulder, said solemnly, "The orcs have another trick up their sleeve. You are not to leave the princess's side for even a moment. I'll be right back!"
Before the two could react, he bypassed their guards and sprinted towards the other end of the canyon.
The two guards looked bewildered, then simultaneously snapped to attention.
The orcs have another trick up their sleeve?!
In their panic, the two forgot about Chen Ke and rushed to the princess's carriage.
They dared not conceal it and solemnly relayed Chen Ke's words to Her Highness the Princess.
Inside the carriage, the Qin princess remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "You've been tricked. He's definitely not coming back!"
Princess Qin was in a state of utter confusion. Holding Chen Ke's portrait in her hand, she couldn't reconcile the person in the portrait with the expert who had secretly helped her that day.
She had received a report from her subordinates that a mysterious expert had single-handedly slaughtered two hundred orcs who were lying in ambush in the canyon.
If she wasn't mistaken, the orcish vulture legion's misfortune must also be related to this mysterious person.
This mysterious man ultimately used that strange broken spear to assassinate the lion-man general.
If we add the mysterious man's earlier warnings, it can be said that he was secretly protecting her from beginning to end.
Without this mysterious person, she would likely have been ambushed by the orcs long ago, and her fate would have been uncertain.
Without this mysterious person, the Qin princess could hardly imagine how heavy their casualties would have been today.
Who exactly is this mysterious person?
