Chapter 355 - 355 355 Someone is Paying for Your Life

355: Chapter 355: Someone is Paying for Your Life 355: Chapter 355: Someone is Paying for Your Life The next day, Zhao Guang and his party stopped at the entrance of a canyon.

According to last night’s discussion, the most likely place for the ambush was right here because once they entered the canyon, there would only be one path, making it impossible to retreat in any other direction.

What Zhao Guang hadn’t expected was for the enemy to actually block off the canyon outright.

To detour around the side would require at least a dozen days, and would involve entering another’s domain.

Such a large troop passing through another’s domain would necessitate prior communication.

All in all, it would take two to three months for Zhao Guang to reach his own lands, so he must pass through the middle.

Zhao Guang took up his telescope and gazed at the people on top of the canyon.

He knew these were members of the Xue Feng Thief Group.

Each of them armed with bows and arrows, aiming in this direction to prevent anyone from moving the rocks.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Guang also understood that the Xue Feng Thief Group was ready to make their move.

Indeed, it was not long before a troop slowly approached from a distance.

Unexpectedly, at the very center of the troop, there were more than thirty fully armed knights.

To be aware, such knights could only be raised by nobles.

For ordinary people, even buying just the armor would be no small feat.

Moreover, the training of a knight was not something commoners could easily access.

No wonder some said they had ties with a Great Noble, it would actually be more surprising if they didn’t.

The one at the forefront exuded an incredibly strong presence, evident from afar, signaling that this person was no ordinary individual.

It wasn’t just strength that radiated from him, but also a special aura built from extensive experience.

Zhao Guang picked up the microphone and his voice was broadcast through the loudspeaker.

“You must be from the Xue Feng Mercenary Group, are you sure you want to be enemies with an Imperial Viscount?”

He was just declaring his identity, knowing that if the other party continued their attack, the crime they would commit would be even greater.

“I have a lot of money, if I issue a bounty on you, I believe even the border troops would be attracted.” He was demonstrating his own strength, particularly his financial power, to make the enemy hesitate.

However, what he did not expect was that the enemy kept approaching without the slightest intention of backing down.

This momentum caused his slaves’ stability to begin waning.

Simultaneously, faced with such foes, the five pigs seemed to sense something was amiss as well and wanted to distance themselves from the area.

The slaves struggled to control the five pigs, just managing to prevent them from running off.

If the five pigs had not been tamed, the slaves, relying solely on their own strength, would likely have been unable to subdue them.

Suddenly, a booming voice came from the other side, “I’m sorry, Three-Wheeled Car Duke, but someone has paid for your life, and I cannot refuse this person.” The voice carried across the entire battlefield, loud and clear for everyone to hear.

At first, Xue Feng was quite amazed to hear Zhao Guang’s voice.

He had not expected the voice from the opposing side to be so loud.

To amplify one’s voice to such an extent, one had to be undoubtedly an Advanced Warrior.

According to the intelligence, there were no such powerful individuals within Zhao Guang’s ranks.

Even though Zhao Guang had performed well in the Imperial City, he was nowhere near the level of an Advanced Warrior.

The prospect of ambushing and killing a high-level warrior was spoken aloud, but no one believed it would be that easy.

Nobles, attributing their subordinates’ achievements to themselves, and gilding their own faces, are common occurrences.

Besides, the Royal Family might have done it on purpose, using this method to assert their majesty.

Late, Xue Feng suddenly realized that the voice wasn’t being propagated by Combat Energy.

It must be some kind of Alchemy device, really scared the wits out of himself.

This noble indeed is as wealthy as the rumors say, able to afford such Alchemy Products.

And that odd vehicle, if he could get his hands on it, his team could possibly more than double in size.

As for quitting the business altogether, Xue Feng never considered it.

Once you’ve done such things, there’s no turning back, unless you’re dead, which he understood better than anyone.

At the same time, Zhao Guang’s expression also turned grim; he hadn’t anticipated that his opponent wanted him dead.

Getting paid to do a job is very normal, but in battles between nobles, it usually doesn’t entail harming a noble’s life.

Let alone life, under normal circumstances even injuring a noble is a grave sin.

But it’s a completely different story when someone overtly wants you dead.

Who exactly had he offended to make them cross the line set by noble conflicts?

Karan said to Zhao Guang, “I’m truly sorry, it seems that Xue Feng has reached the level of an Advanced Warrior.

As per the agreement, if we can’t stop them, we’ll retreat.”

If you’re going to run, just run; although it might tarnish his reputation, when it comes to life, that means nothing.

Perhaps they might find it hard to take on tasks in the northern part of the Chirali Empire, especially those from the nobles.

Yet Karan would rather give up these and allow his men to survive.

If need be, they could just leave this place and take on missions in the southern part of the Empire instead, starting afresh is better than being dead.

Zhao Guang nodded; after all, they were mercenaries, he understood.

Some people who are paid to do jobs can’t be expected to die for you.

After all, they were planning to take action and would retreat only if they failed, which was already following professional ethics.

He couldn’t ask for more, and Zhao Guang showed understanding.

“I know, you guys don’t have to charge forward first, wait for me to hit them with a wave first.” Hit them with a wave?

What’s the situation, why isn’t he worried at all?

Initially, Karan was concerned that the other party would insist on keeping him by force, which is typical for nobles.

If not, the opponent would probably try to make a breakout with their elite forces.

But this noble really was different from the usual ones.

True to form for a noble who dares to pioneer in the North, such courage was unparalleled by ordinary people.

“Then I shall wait and see,” said Karan as he quickly went back to his team to give instructions.

As for Zhao Guang, he drew out something that looked to be a hammer.

To those around him, it appeared to be just a large hammer with a somewhat strange design.

Of course, if Earth people were here, they would recognize it as the renowned Barrett.

Speaking of which, if it hadn’t been for something he got from someone’s collection in Myanmar, it would not have been easy to obtain this.

Weapons of this level are not easy to purchase even on international markets, given their enormous threat.

However, relying on his high physical strength, Zhao Guang shouldered the sniper rifle, which was supposed to be mounted on the ground, planning to use himself as a fulcrum for shooting.
