Lord Yan, The Little Ancestor Has Fallen Off The Horse Again!-Chapter 358: Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps
Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps
"Let’s take the main road," Yun Yue insisted, her eyes sparkling with a chilly light, "I understand Dao Ba, his main forces must be on the mountain path."
Dao Ba would surely anticipate that they would take the mountain path, so he would definitely ambush them there in advance. The main road was wide and open, with no suitable places to hide, making it the least likely for an ambush and therefore the safest route.
Feng Ye furrowed his brows, staring at her for a moment before finally speaking up, "Alright, we’ll do as you say and take the main road."
"Duwa, take the main road."
After he gave the order, Duwa glanced at Yun Yue and turned the steering wheel toward the main road; the vehicles behind followed closely.
Feng Ye sneakily stole a few glances at Yun Yue, and he became increasingly convinced that she wasn’t just a regular member of Golden Net.
Before, she had recognized Can Lang’s howl, and just now, she claimed to understand Dao Ba. How could she say such things if she wasn’t regularly clashing with these two men?
He silently withdrew his gaze, planning to ask her about it once the affair was over, as her background had previously seemed cleaner than a sheet of white paper. However, long-term exposure to various signs indicated that she was not simple.
The main road was spacious, wide enough for two large trucks to drive side by side.
Three cargo trucks and two cars filled with people, plus Xiao Feng in the last SUV, a total of six vehicles, roared through the empty, quiet night. Despite some drowsiness, no one dared to relax; they took turns keeping guard and watching the surroundings.
Yun Yue hadn’t dared to sleep, her eyes half-closed as she leaned back in her seat.
The temperature in the Forbidden Zone was lower at night. Thinking she was asleep, Feng Ye took a blanket from beside him and covered her with it.
She suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of fierceness lurking within. Seeing the blanket over her, the tension in her brow eased.
Feng Ye’s movements halted for a moment, startled by her intimidating aura, but he quickly recovered and said, "It’s cold at night, Master Chen prepared that blanket for you."
Yun Yue glanced down at the blanket and spoke lightly, "Thank you."
Feng Ye smirked, "You’re welcome."
Yun Yue turned to look outside the vehicle; under the faint moonlight, she could only see the undulating mountain range in the distance. The wide-open view around them made it unsuitable for hiding.
But there was one spot that was extremely suitable for hiding – a mandatory checkpoint, the last barrier.
If she were Dao Ba, she would definitely have laid an ambush there.
Calculating the time, she allowed herself a brief hour of light sleep before waking up to find the vehicle had come to a stop.
"What happened?" Her voice was slightly hoarse as she threw off the blanket and jumped out of the car, squinting her cool eyes at the large boulder blocking the road ahead.
The stone inconveniently blocked the middle of the narrow path. If they wanted to pass, they would have to either take the mountain path or move the stone.
The Forbidden Zone had experienced a torrential downpour the day before yesterday. The stone indeed seemed as though it had rolled down from a landslide, everything appeared flawless — except they overlooked one crucial detail.
If there had been a landslide, there surely should have been signs around the area. Yet only the narrow path was completely obstructed, with not a speck of dirt in its vicinity.
She tilted her cap’s brim upwards, a smile playing on her lips, and looked towards a certain corner above.
"Damn it, what the hell, why haven’t those guys moved the stone yet?" Dao Ba hissed from his hidden vantage in the mountains, watching the convoy outside his shooting range below.
With his binoculars, he spotted Feng Ye standing at the forefront, "Never expected Feng Ye to personally escort this batch of goods, huh, and there’s even a woman leading them."
Yun Yue’s figure suddenly darted into Dao Ba’s line of sight, prompting surprise, and as he gradually zoomed in his lens, he locked eyes with a pair of eerie, fierce-looking eyes. Startled, his whole body shivered; he dropped his binoculars to the ground as if recalling something, his eyes filled with fear and panic, he gasped for breath, clearly unsettled.
K!
Although her appearance had changed slightly, seeming even prettier than before, those sinister, bloodthirsty eyes were etched into his memory.
It was a fear that carved itself deep into his soul.
Accidents happen even when you’re just sitting at home, minding your own business.
She infiltrated the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps, single-handedly causing the group to suffer heavy losses, with the majority ending up dead or wounded.
The campsite of the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps resembled a bombed zone that day, with explosions ringing out continuously for three minutes.
All of their supplies were destroyed in the blasts, and the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps nearly didn’t survive in the Forbidden Zone, with Mike himself almost dying at K’s hands.
She had vanished for three years, so how could she reappear out of the blue?
Did she just smile at him because she saw him, or did she not notice him at all?!
In just half a minute, the deep-rooted fear within Dao Ba had been thoroughly ignited, and he never wanted to experience it again.
"Boss, what’s wrong? Are you okay?" Dao Ba’s subordinate, noticing his panic-stricken expression, asked with concern.
He picked up the binoculars from the ground and looked through them curiously, following the direction of her gaze.
He was the deputy leader of the Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps, having followed Dao Ba for ten years. He remembered Yun Yue, who had single-handedly almost wiped out the entire Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps three years ago—her face, temperament, and silhouette—though she looked even more beautiful now, her eyes and presence were unmistakable.
He froze completely, like wood, his pupils dilated in shock as he stared at the person in the binoculars.
One of the subordinates had been monitoring the situation at the foot of the mountain and, noticing some activity, immediately asked, "Boss, Deputy Boss, they’ve sent two people into our firing range, holding explosives, trying to blast apart the rocks. What should we do?"
When the man got no response after a full half minute, he became puzzled, "Boss, Deputy Boss?"
Whether to attack or not, these two, unmoving, looked as if they’d seen a ghost.
His head was round, and he looked very simple and honest; everyone in the group called him Old Han.
Another subordinate patted him, signaling for silence, "Shh, the boss said before the operation that no matter what, we must intercept the goods today. This batch is enough to last us a year, don’t you think?"
"And if we do intercept this batch, maybe the boss will reward us. A promotion and a raise are definitely in the cards."
Old Han thought this made a lot of sense and nodded dumbly, "So, what do you think we should do?"
The man gestured, "I think we should do as the boss said earlier. As soon as they all come over, we’ll launch an attack. After all, there are so many goods buried underneath, just the explosions alone could kill them."
"Alright, I’ll take your lead." Old Han nodded, glanced at the two unresponsive men, and passed down the command, "Pass it down, as soon as they trigger the bomb, we attack."
Boom!
A loud explosion snapped Dao Ba and Mike back to their senses, and they hurriedly looked towards the foot of the mountain, feeling a mix of relief and regret.
It was a pity they didn’t manage to kill K; otherwise, their Sword Dominator Mercenary Corps would have become even more famous.
No wonder she was K; she had seen through the trick with the rocks at a glance and even thought to use explosives to shatter the boulders, making their removal a breeze.
