The entire situation left the Langya Prince in a daze, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
"Su Qianxue, you've gone too far!"
You dared to scheme against me, and while your soldiers disguised themselves as disaster victims to ambush me, that would have been one thing. After all, it would be hard to find evidence. But how dare you bring out an Oil Saw? What kind of weapon does a disaster victim possess?
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The roar of the Oil Saw echoed through the air. A few disaster victims charged forward, wielding the Oil Saw toward the Household Guards.
The Household Guards, who had been fighting with great enthusiasm, suddenly froze at the sound. They turned to see several ragged men charging at them with roaring, smoke-emitting Oil Saws.
The sound of the Oil Saw was like a shockwave, relentlessly attacking their very souls. In an instant, the Household Guards were so frightened that they could barely hold onto their weapons, trembling all over.
"Stay calm! Prepare the Oil Saw!"
Over a hundred Household Guards stared at the Oil Saw in fear, completely paralyzed and unable to think of escape. Their minds went blank; they didn't know what to do or how to react.
The surrounding disaster victims, already driven mad with rage, were further provoked by the sound. With bloodshot eyes and reckless abandon, they charged toward the Household Guards!
Thud!
Crack!
With each sickening sound, two Household Guards were cleaved in half by two Oil Saws. Blood and chunks of flesh splattered onto the faces of other Household Guards.
Their expressions shifted from shock to terror; their eyes widened in disbelief as their weapons fell from their trembling hands.
After taking down a few more Household Guards with the Oil Saws, the remaining guards were so frightened that they turned tail and fled.
The disaster victims, now drenched in blood, became even more frenzied as if driven mad by the sight. They rushed forward without hesitation, intent on capturing the remaining Household Guards.
One unfortunate guard found himself caught by a disaster victim who was covered in blood and gripping him tightly. He let out a whimper of fear.
Even though he was fully armored and equipped with various axes and short swords at his waist, his mind went blank in that moment, leaving him vulnerable to slaughter.
Devils!
Panic filled the minds of those captured Household Guards as they faced this horrifying reality. The frenzied disaster victims continued to rain down blows upon them until they were nothing but a mass of flesh.
On a small hill nearby, Langya Prince witnessed this scene unfold, his face turning pale. "What on earth!"
It was his first time cursing out loud.
"Ah, Jiang Han! You and Su Qianxue, that shameless couple, are truly beyond redemption! Surrounding this prince like a disaster victim, and yet there are people wielding an Oil Saw! Isn’t that weapon exclusive to your Imperial Guard? This is utterly disgraceful!
The Langya Prince has finally been caught off guard. I initially thought that Su Qianxue and Jiang Han were just preparing to deal with me, but I could have turned the situation around. Therefore, even though I knew that Yan Dong and his group of Imperial Guards were disguising themselves as disaster victims, I couldn’t say anything. To do so would be tantamount to openly confronting Su Qianxue, which would lead to war. I had no choice but to endure it and wait for the next opportunity to retaliate.
But now, with the Oil Saw involved, this is simply crossing the line! My lord, we must retreat quickly! If we don’t leave now, we’re doomed! The Jiang Jiang are getting anxious! Just now when I told you to retreat, you insisted on being stubborn. Look where we are now—if we don’t leave soon, we’ll all be finished!
As the hundreds of Household Guards in front panicked like they had seen a ghost, the thousand or so in the middle also noticed the collapse ahead. They saw several ragged men charging at them with Oil Saws. The buzzing sound left them in a daze. By the time they realized what was happening, they saw their comrades fleeing and immediately joined them in retreat!
With over a thousand soldiers in disarray, morale shattered, they scattered like headless flies. The disaster victims who had originally been besieged suddenly turned fierce as wolves, rushing out and attacking the Household Guards relentlessly. Many of the Household Guards didn’t die from being struck down but rather fell to the ground or were trampled by the panicking victims.
No, no, no! This shouldn’t be happening! Several commanders looked on with despair as they tried to direct their troops. But defeat came like an avalanche; over a thousand soldiers were running around chaotically without any control.
With the front line and middle ranks collapsing, the rear ranks of over a thousand soldiers also fell apart completely. The remaining Household Guards charged toward the outskirts and no longer mentioned rescuing the Langya Prince.
The officials who rushed in earlier had managed to survive amidst the chaos of the Household Guards. Now, however, as disorder erupted among the troops, many Elders were running around like headless flies among the disaster victims.
Before long, one Elder was dragged down by several victims and kicked mercilessly. By the time these disaster victims left, that Elder was unrecognizable—his death was utterly tragic."
In the Official Chaos Army, death came swiftly.
In just a few moments, over twenty officials had perished.
On a small hill, Jiang Jiang surveyed the area and determined that the number of disaster victims in the southeast direction was relatively low, making it a potential breakthrough point.
"Your Highness, let’s break through from the southeast!"
"Your Highness, this is urgent; please temper your temper!"
"Your Highness, if you lose your temper now, it will truly be the end for us. We are here to protect you; let’s move quickly!"
Several Jiang Jiang guards surrounded the Langya Prince, preparing to escort him through the crowd of disaster victims ahead.
The Langya Prince made up his mind to break through.
He decided that saving face was not as important as saving his life. Just moments ago, he had been concerned about his dignity; now, survival took precedence.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, Che Cheng has dispatched troops from Langya Wangfu!"
"Wait a moment; Che Cheng’s army will arrive soon!"
The retainers outside called out to the Langya Prince, their voices hoarse from shouting.
As he was about to descend the hill, the Langya Prince paused upon hearing their words.
"Are my two Wan Dajun really coming soon?" he wondered. "It seems I don’t need to charge into a crowd of thousands with just a few people."
"Your Highness, what’s wrong?"
"Your Highness, why aren’t you moving?"
"The army will take time to arrive; we should charge down first."
The Jiang Jiang guards and retainers spoke one after another.
The Langya Prince thought for a moment and stopped in his tracks. Looking down, he saw a sea of disaster victims below.
He glanced at his few companions occupying the small hill; they could hold their position for a while longer due to the terrain.
If they recklessly descended the hill without caution, there was a real possibility that he would meet an untimely end without even a burial place.
