"We were sent by Commander Liao to pick you up. He is still down south and hasn’t co over yet," the man said respectfully.
Rolaff nodded and said, "Alright, let’s go."
"Since you’ve found your team, our mission is complete. Goodbye," soone stepped forward to say.
Rolaff frowned and asked, "You want to leave?"
The rebels caught onto their leader’s tone and imdiately raised their guns, surrounding the mbers of the Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps.
The Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps mbers were also on guard with their guns. Although they were outnumbered, they didn’t panic.
The squad leader coldly looked at Rolaff and asked, "What do you an by that?"
"Since you’ve co to my territory, how could I not treat you to a al? How would I explain myself to Xiang Yu?" Rolaff replied.
"No need to be polite, we have matters to attend to and will leave now," the squad leader responded bluntly.
"You’re not giving face?" Rolaff sneered.
The surrounding rebels imdiately unlocked their guns. They didn’t know the identity of these people, but Rolaff’s tone clearly suggested they were not allies.
"We’re all sensible people. No need to beat around the bush. Are you letting us go or not," the squad leader asked resolutely, holding his gun.
Rolaff hadn’t expected this small squad to be so tough. He wasn’t planning to let them leave.
After all, these people were Xiang Yu’s n, and escorting him here ant they knew his whereabouts.
If he let them go now, his whereabouts would be exposed.
But seeing their stance, if he didn’t let them go now, they might fight to the death with him.
After a mont of hesitation, Rolaff laughed and said, "Alright, since you don’t want to stay for a al, go on back. Tell Xiang Yu I owe him one."
"I will relay the ssage," the squad leader said, then turned and left with his n.
"Chief, should we take them out?" soone beside Rolaff whispered.
Rolaff shook his head and said, "These people are not simple. We might need them soday."
After standing there for a while, Rolaff left.
Xiang Yu was chatting idly with Tie Zhuzi in the room when Xiaochuan’s call ca in.
"Bro, the brothers have safely delivered Rolaff and are on their way back," Xiaochuan reported succinctly.
"Got it. Tell the brothers to be careful and return quickly," Xiang Yu instructed.
The situation in Xiaoba was chaotic. Any mont now, another group might engage his n in battle.
"Understood, bro." Xiaochuan thought for a mont and said, "The nghu rcenary Corps is preparing to retreat now."
"They want to retreat?" Xiang Yu asked in confusion.
"Probably worried about the Xiaoba military’s return," Xiaochuan explained plainly.
"Does the Xiaoba military show any movents?" Xiang Yu asked suspiciously.
"Their people are reorganizing, with no signs of planning another wave of attacks," Xiaochuan replied.
"Tell Wu Jing not to let Xia Cheng’s n leave. If the Xiaoba military doesn’t act, you make a move," Xiang Yu ordered.
"Yes," Xiaochuan resolutely confird.
After hanging up, Xiaochuan relayed the order to Wu Jing. Wu Jing, seeing that the Xiaoba military appeared crippled and not intending another attack, looked at his n and said, "Everyone, be ready. If they dare co out of the base, we will push them back."
The Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps mbers were excited. Watching others fight earlier had made them itch for action.
"Captain, let’s charge now."
"Yeah, let’s hit their base now. I want to see how fortified it really is."
The Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps mbers were at ease, seeing dying on the battlefield as an honor.
"No fooling around, follow my command," Wu Jing said sternly.
This was the battlefield, not regular training. He wouldn’t joke with his n’s lives.
Seeing Wu Jing so serious, people around him shut their mouths.
"Look, they’re out."
At that mont, soone shouted, and everyone looked ahead to see the nghu rcenary Corps fully ard, coming out of the base.
They were well-equipped, with so scouting ahead and the main force behind.
Clearly, the nghu rcenary Corps was professionally trained, moving with discipline. Even if ambushed, they were prepared.
"Everyone, ready," Wu Jing ordered.
At this critical mont, everyone remained silent and chambered their rounds, prepared for tough combat.
The nghu rcenary Corps were trained fighters, but so were they.
Wu Jing would drag them to train whenever they weren’t on a mission. Their motto was: Train more in peaceti, bleed less on the battlefield.
"Ready," Wu Jing said, also chambering his rounds.
"Wait," Xiaochuan suddenly said.
Wu Jing turned his head in confusion, not knowing what this kid was up to.
"This ti, we won’t have to make a move," Xiaochuan said coldly.
The surrounding people looked at him, puzzled.
"Look over there."
Soone shouted, and everyone looked into the distance to see a large, dark mass flying toward them in the sky.
Wu Jing was also startled, grateful for not acting hastily. Otherwise, they would have suffered greatly. The Xiaoba air support had arrived.
"Everyone, retreat to the hill behind," Wu Jing quickly ordered.
Seeing the large formation of bombers, Wu Jing feared they might beco collateral damage.
The Heavenly Dragon rcenary Corps wasted no ti, quickly retreating.
anwhile, the Xiaoba military in the distance cheered, seeing their air support arrive.
"Great, this ti we’ll definitely crush those rebels," one said to the Commander.
The Commander’s face was ashen. While others were elated, he feared losing his position after this battle.
"Chief, should we attack now?" soone suggested.
"Yeah, let’s hit back."
So wounded soldiers stood, ashad from the earlier fight, now eager for redemption.
"Are you brainless? If we charge, we’ll beco bombing targets. Morons," the Commander snapped.
The air force had already received bombing coordinates and began dropping bombs without hesitation.
Xia Cheng and his team panicked at the sight of the fighters.
"Retreat quickly, get into the bunkers," Xia Cheng shouted, his voice altered in panic.
His command was redundant, as everyone, seeing the planes, ran to the rear.
Lacking experience against planes, they were montarily disoriented...
