Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng, plus ten city defense army soldiers and five members of the Guards, were only seventeen people.
But there were hundreds of enemy troops chasing them!
The difference in numbers is so great that it cannot be made up.
"Maybe... maybe it's okay... Mr. Lin is very powerful, and he will definitely be able to catch up with us with Mr. Yuan and others alive..."
Liu Shaolan said with a cry.
Infected by her, the expressions of the remaining members of the Guards also became very sad.
Ural let out a long sigh and said: "Miss, I admit that Mr. Lin is indeed very powerful, but no matter how powerful a person is, what can he do if he faces an enemy that is more than ten times his size?"
Hearing what Ural said, Liu Shaolan's expression became very depressed.
Ural looked back at where he came from, and then said helplessly: "Miss Liu, Mr. Lin and Mr. Yuan sacrificed their lives to protect us. They will always live in our hearts, and we will never forget them!"

"Well, I'll never forget it!"
Liu Shaolan shed tears and nodded heavily.
In the mountain forest, several mercenaries from the wandering mercenary group were kneeling on the ground.
All their weapons and equipment were disarmed and thrown aside far away.
Standing in front of them were ten city defense army soldiers and five members of the Guards, as well as Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng.
"Only these few people were caught alive?"
Lin Xiao frowned.
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Yuan Zheng immediately lowered his head in shame.
"Sorry, Commander, there are dense trees in the mountains and forests, and it is difficult for the horses to catch up. Many people dismounted and got separated in the mountains and forests, so I didn't catch many..."
"No need to explain."
Lin Xiao nodded, and then strode to the front of these living people.
Looking at the leftmost survivor in the row, Lin Xiao asked expressionlessly: "Who are you? Why are you ambushing and chasing us?"
Hearing Lin Xiao's accusation, the mercenary sneered, raised his neck and said, "I won't tell you until I die!"
Lin Xiao didn't waste any words and waved his hand directly.
Yuan Zheng immediately strode over and pulled out a long, slightly curved knife from his waist.
"Wait, you can't kill me, I know-"
The mercenary panicked. He didn't expect Lin Xiao to take action without saying anything.
He originally wanted to say a few tough words and then find a way out for himself!
There was a popping sound.
Yuan Zheng returned the narrow sword to its sheath, and the bloody human head fell to the ground and rolled down the slope.
Lin Xiao looked at the second survivor and asked, "You answer the question just now."
"What...what's the problem, I didn't pay attention just now, can you say it again..."
The living man asked cautiously.
As soon as he finished speaking, another blade of light lit up, and his head fell to the ground.
Lin Xiao looked at the third survivor. Before he could ask, the mercenary said quickly with a cry: "I said, I will tell you everything... We are mercenaries of Korosak.
From the Althea Mercenary Group, our leader..."
"lie."
Lin Xiao interrupted him unceremoniously.
The three major mercenary groups of Korosak are all named after flowers, namely Black Gold Flower, Hibiscus Flower and Edelweiss Flower.
Although it sounds very poetic, these three large mercenary groups are notorious in the city-state alliance and are very popular.
Among them, the Black Gold Flower mercenary group has been disbanded.
The remaining Althea Mercenary Group and the Edelweiss Mercenary Group have their own characteristics - all the mercenaries of the Althea Mercenary Group have a hibiscus flower tattoo on the back of their left hand, while the Edelweiss Mercenary Group
The mercenaries all carry a dagger carved with edelweiss.
But these two characteristics are not found in the mercenary in front of me. Isn't this lying?
He and his companions are definitely not mercenaries of the Althea Mercenary Group!
Yuan Zheng walked over, the narrow knife in his hand dripping with bright red blood.
"I didn't lie...I was wrong, I didn't dare anymore, we are not from the Korosak Althea Mercenary Group, we are..."
Along with the bright sword light, another bloody head flew far away.
"You're the last one, I think you know what to do."
Lin Xiao looked at the last living person and asked.
The tragic death of the three companions in front of him made the mercenary's heartbeat almost stop. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his body kept shaking, and he couldn't stop shivering.
Now hearing Lin Xiao's question, he immediately replied: "We are the Black Fang Mercenary Group, a wandering mercenary group of about a hundred people. I don't know why I want to ambush and hunt you down, because this is the leader's
Order, the leader said that as long as I kill you, you can get generous rewards..."
Lin Xiao nodded and then asked: "So, your captain, have you met anyone who is not part of your mercenary group in the recent period?"
"This...it doesn't seem to be..."
Before the mercenary finished speaking, Yuan Zheng walked over with a narrow knife.
The mercenary was immediately frightened and said hurriedly: "I really don't know. I'm just a small mercenary. How can I meet someone who is the leader of the group? By the way, that's right! The leader seems to be meeting someone from Lafayette.
The businessman from Ercheng met yesterday morning. Not long after the meeting, he gave the order and brought us here to ambush you..."
A merchant from Rafael City?
"What businessman?" Lin Xiao asked.
"I really don't know about this. I saw the businessman sneaking into the camp of our mercenary group while I was peeing. He talked to the leader in the tent for a while, and then left quietly. What else can I say?
I don’t even know... I have said so much, please let me go, I will never be a mercenary again, I swear..."
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Well, I believe what you said."
Hearing this, the mercenary was extremely happy. He felt that he had hope to survive.
However, the next moment, his body and head were separated. The smiling head fell to the ground and Gululu rolled away.
"Commander, could it be that the people from Rafael City ordered them to ambush us?"
After putting away the narrow knife, Yuan Zheng frowned and asked.
He really didn't expect that this incident would be related to Raphael City.
Lin Xiao thought for a while and said: "You can't believe everything he said, but it may not be groundless. Rafael City does have a bad relationship with our Dorado, and before, Rafael City wanted to make a small fortune through weapons merchants.
But we messed it up."
The fortress giant crossbow developed and manufactured by Raphael City was originally sold to Dorado through Wu Houfei and Tang Guorong.
But Lin Xiao refused to do business with Wu Houfei and did not buy from Tang Guorong. Later, Tang Guorong also asked Rafael City to return the deposit.
The people of Raphael City were furious and came to Dorado to question Tang Guorong and threaten him.
