Chapter 262
In the middle of the night, the beastmen in the camp were sleeping soundly, disturbed by the faint sounds of warfare.
Shen Tang, in a daze, thought she was having a nightmare due to her recent nervous breakdown, but the sound of explosions grew louder, making it hard to ignore.
Jia Lan, beside her, was also awakened. He got up, scratching his slightly messy brown hair, his handsome face grim, whispering curses, “What the hell is this noise, is that group of rebels attacking again p>
Shen Li was also woken up.
He squinted his long and charming fox eyes, glanced outside indifferently, and silently wrapped the female in his arms more tightly with his fluffy fox tail, the tip of the tail subtly covering her ears.
Unfortunately, the commotion was too loud.
Shen Tang was still woken up.
She broke free from the furry fiery red clouds, put on her shoes and coat, and hurried out of the tent, “What’s happening outside p>
Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao were already awake.
Lu Xiao, after patrolling in the high sky with a team of eagle beasts, landed and transformed into human form, coming over to report, “Female Master, a battle erupted ten kilometers outside the city, both sides are fiercely fighting, with heavy casualties p>
“Outside the city?” Shen Tang’s face turned ugly, her voice cold, “Who led people out of the city? Didn’t I say to wait and see, and forbid anyone from leaving the city without permission p>
The beastmen looked at each other, silent as crows, they didn’t know either.
Suddenly, from the crowd, a tall, thin beastman stood up, hesitated and said, “I, when I went out to take a leak in the middle of the night, seemed to see Young Master Yun Han leading a team out. I was also half-asleep at the time, not very clear, not sure if I saw it wrong p>
Shen Tang sounded the alarm, immediately sent someone to summon Yun Han, only to find that Yun Han’s tent was already empty.
The troops under his command were also missing!
Without even reporting, he had actually led the troops out of the city on his own p>
This is too reckless! Too foolish!
Quickly, another eagle beast landed to report, “Your Highness, the rebel army is fiercely counterattacking, ambushers are bombing from all sides, the troops outside the city are hardly holding on, someone sent a flare for help, please send reinforcements quickly p>
Shen Tang was horrified: Yun Han, after all, had Ninth Rank combat power, and the troops he led were the elite forces he personally trained. Even if he was reckless, he couldn’t be so foolish as to throw his life away recklessly, how could they be easily annihilated?
There was no time to think more, Shen Tang quickly gathered her forces, mounted onto Lu Xiao’s back, and rode out of the city overnight to support.
From afar, she saw the tumultuous flames of war outside the city, approaching closer, it was even more terrifying!
On the battlefield, countless corpses lay scattered.
There were corpses of the rebel army, and many of the Guard Army as well.
The remaining troops of the rebel army were far more than they imagined!
Perhaps, the rebel army hadn’t deployed all their forces at the start, still hiding their main forces, planning to catch them off guard as a sparrow that follows.
Yun Han led the team out of the city tonight, just happened to face this main force, with enemies outnumbering them, ambushed in advance and severely injured! The casualties were horrific!
In the distance, Yun Han was seriously injured, his right hand blown apart, bloodied, unable to hold his ice sword.
A high-level beastman opened its claws, its figure like lightning, attacking him.
“Young Master, watch out!” Lin Yu screamed, transforming into beast form and leaping forward to block this fatal blow.
His body was tossed several meters like a kite with broken strings, crashed into a tree trunk, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Yun Han’s eyes turned crimson, grieved to the extreme, his left hand holding the bloodstained ice sword, fought desperately to kill the beastman.
But unfortunately, with one hand crippled, his strength plummeted, his actions slowed significantly, and he was quickly surrounded by several high-level beastmen.
Outnumbered.
His abdomen was struck once more.
“Boom!” Yun Han half-knelt on the ground, his long sword stabbed into the ground, blood flowed along his arm and ice blade, staining the scorched earth red.
He watched helplessly as a bear beast grabbed Lin Yu, about to tear his wings in half, overwhelmed with grief and anger, but powerless to intervene.
An earth spike burst from the ground, piercing the bear beast’s body, ripping it apart.
Yun Han, shocked, looked at Shen Tang descending from the sky, holding his breath, momentarily thought he was dreaming, yet the screams echoing in his ears were indeed real!
Shen Tang led her forces into the battlefield.
Xiao Jin and others also led their teams, heading in all directions, clashing fiercely with the rebel army, fighting intensely, the situation getting more and more severe!
After clearing the nearby enemies with her forces, Shen Tang turned to look at the battered and fallen Yun Han not far away, her eyes cold as ice, furious, “Didn’t I say not to go out of the city? Why did you lead a team out in the middle of the night without even saying a word p>
Yun Han stood shakily, supporting himself with the sword, stubborn, I take responsibility for my actions alone, you don’t need to interfere with my business p>
“Take responsibility alone p>
Shen Tang sneered repeatedly, glancing at the fallen and wounded corpses, and the unconscious Lin Yu not far away, pointing at them and coldly questioning, “Is this what you call taking responsibility alone? Do you know how many innocent warriors died tragically because of tonight’s actions p>
Shen Tang questioned pointedly, “I know you wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the rebel army’s stronghold, wanted to rescue Shen Qingli, but for her, did you even abandon your brain? Getting yourself into such a state, leading these brothers who followed you through life and death to their deaths, is it really worth it p>
Battlefield medics were supporting the heavily wounded, unconscious Lin Yu and others away from the conflict.
If they hadn’t rushed for backup tonight, Lin Yu and others would have died here!
Yun Han looked at the seriously injured Lin Yu and others, silent, a trace of struggle and pain flashed in his eyes.
As the young master raised by the Yun Family, he wasn’t a battle-hardened brute, how could he not know how reckless and dangerous tonight’s action was, a moment of carelessness could cost lives!
But, tonight was the only chance to rescue Shen Qingli, if the rebel army really retreated, she couldn’t be saved.
Yun Han breathed heavily, struggling to speak, “Qingli is my partner, I must save her p>
Shen Tang almost laughed out of anger, Yun Han truly lived up to being the loyal harem of the female lead, so devoted to her, he would risk his life to save her.
But Yun Han didn’t even know, Shen Qingli didn’t need his rescue at all.
He’s really—
Both ridiculous and pitiable.
Shen Tang was genuinely curious how painful and devastated Yun Han would be when he found out that Shen Qingli had long been involved with the leader of the rebel army!
“Very well, well said.” Shen Tang clapped, “Truly loyal and affectionate, I hope that one day, you won’t regret everything you said and did tonight p>
Listening to her mocking words, Yun Han didn’t understand what she meant, just frowned and said coldly, “I will never regret it p>
If he truly watched as Qingli was taken away by the rebel army, that would be the most regrettable and painful thing in his life.
Incurable!
Shen Tang took a deep breath, not wanting to persuade any further, stepped forward towards him.
Seeing her approaching, Yun Han stepped back half a step, thinking Shen Tang wanted to mock him again, but unexpectedly she stood in front of him,
took out medicine for treatment and bandaging from the space, emotionlessly saying, “Why are you avoiding? I’m helping you heal p>
Yun Han’s face showed a flash of shock, his thin lips pressed into a hard, straight line, coldly said, “I said, I don’t need your help, you don’t need to pretend to show me p>
