Compared to soldiers who have become numb from staying at the Border Pass for too long, they possess a rare courage.
And this courage is exactly what is needed on the battlefield.
Chu Heng and Hera had fought to the last moment.
Hera constantly tried to break through Chu Hengâs block to launch a surprise attack on the three injured Great Chu cavalry who hadnât retreated.
Unfortunately, Chu Heng had long instructed the three not to help him, only to protect themselves.
The three kept changing positions, preventing Hera from breaking through.
Hera seemed to be losing.
At this moment.
Someone suddenly shouted, "Lord Chu, watch out!"
It turned out Hera had violated the rules, pulling out a dagger from beside his leg and throwing it at Chu Hengâs vital point when he was off guard.
The distance was too close.
Moreover, Hera was a fierce general.
His strength was formidable.
The dagger flew with incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, it reached Chu Hengâs neck.
With a thud, Chu Heng was knocked backward to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Quick, save him..."
"Lord Chu..."
On both sides, the female family members stood up in shock.
The military generals directly jumped over the barriers, running towards Chu Heng.
Even Emperor Xuanming stood up with a dark expression.
"General Hetu, I didnât expect Beirongâs soldiers to be so despicable." Li Chongjin roared angrily.
Hetu, whose face had been dark, now looked much better. Pretending not to understand, he apologized: "Prince Rong, your words are too much. We were too far away just now, I had no idea what happened, your Chu Dynasty cavalry just fell, it was stated before the match that injuries are inevitable sometimes."
"Ha, it was also said before the match, not to use other weapons for advantage." Li Chongjin pointed out the treachery of Beirong: "What does General Hetu say to that?"
"This was an accident, we didnât want this either." Hetu thought how smart Hera was to assassinate Chu Heng, internally praising him, and couldnât let Great Chu convict Hera.
Although he didnât know exactly how Chu Dynastyâs cavalry was doing, Chu Heng as a general was definitely a serious threat.
Eliminating this person meant this match wouldnât be considered a loss.
"Looks like General Hetu doesnât want to admit it, but indeed, with such treacherous and despicable conduct, my Great Chu will ensure that everyone on the Grassland knows what kind of villain their general is. Surely when you lose a match in the future, the people of the Grassland wonât be surprised, after all, thereâs a big difference between a hero and a villain." Li Chongjin, when provoked, didnât hold back, directly facing Hetuâs fierce face: "Yet, General Hetu might not care about such small matters, given how many shameless deeds youâve done. Donât forget, General Hetu, youâre in Great Chu now!"
Emperor Xuanming did not stop Li Chongjinâs words.
He was also very angry inside.
But the key was still Chu Hengâs condition.
He sat grim-faced on the Dragon Throne, waiting for his attendant beside him to deliver the news.
Ye Muyu, at the moment of the incident, went blank, and when she regained awareness, her whole body was weak, the competition field already surrounded by a crowd of people.
She supported her dizzy head, stumbling as she walked down.
Chu Ziluoyeâs face was pale.
Seeing her motherâs actions, she quickly followed.
"Mother, slow down, father will definitely be alright." Even Chu Ziluo didnât quite believe her own words.
Such a close distance.
The dagger flew towards the neck, no matter how skilled one is.
