Wei Feng had already regained his composure. Seeing Cong Junming walk down the stairs, he went up to him and bowed. "We await your instructions, General."

Seeing that the soldiers were lined up neatly without making a sound, he nodded his head and gave Wei Feng an approving glance.

"General, all the bandits have been killed."

Cong Junming reported loudly to his trusted aide who had gone to check the situation. He could not help but smile. He used his eyes to ask his trusted aides if he had found the leader.

"Under the pressure of the rocks and the rolling logs, most of the bodies are incomplete, and their faces are hard to see. If we want to find the leader of the bandits, we need everyone to move away the rocks and rolling logs, and drag them out one by one. "

Cong Junming frowned. Although this was the result he had expected, it was difficult for him to calm down without personally witnessing the corpse of the War God. However, he could not order his soldiers to move the rocks and rolling logs, drag all the corpses out, and carefully examine them. If these men were to discover that the ones below were not bandits, it would be fatal for them.

Previously, he had instructed everyone to stand still and use a black cloth to cover their eyes, as he did not want his subordinates to know what to do.

Stones and rolling logs could not completely conceal the traces. If he ordered his subordinates to go down and search, the truth would definitely be revealed. However, if his trusted subordinates wanted to move away the rocks and wood in such a big place with thousands of corpses, even if the corpses were rotten, they wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

If he stayed for too long, others would inevitably notice.

Wei Feng accepted the order and led the soldiers away quickly. Then, Cong Junming said in a low voice, "Check it again. If you can't find the corpse, it's also good if you can find an item to prove your identity. Be careful. Don't let others see it." Be careful if anyone passes by. "

"Yes, General. Please rest assured."

As he thought about how very few people would pass by this place, he still found it difficult to calm his heart. After pondering for a moment, he gave the order, "Quickly, leave this place."

"There can't be any mistake. The scouts have discovered that the War God King must have passed through here on his way here. Those soldiers will ride the warhorses of the northern border and wear the black armor of the Iron Guard. There will be no problem at all. "

He said this in his heart, making his heart even more resolute. He could not help but let out a long breath of air. This matter had been resolved smoothly and beautifully. Not long after, his official position would definitely be promoted. Perhaps, he would be able to obtain an inherited title of nobility and would even be able to be a wife to a son.

swish swish swish … *

Suddenly, the sound of air being pierced could be heard. Countless crossbow bolts shot out from the dense forest in an instant. In the span of a single breath, Cong Junming's men fell to the ground like wheat being cut.

"Ah …"

Shouts, cries for help, screams, wails … The sound echoed through the forest and floated far away.

The bolts rained down on the unguarded soldiers like rain. Cong Junming could not help but turn pale with fright. Who had the audacity to ambush them?

The soldiers didn't even have time to run away in all four directions. The arrows came from all directions and surrounded them. Only the ones behind them were temporarily out of sight. Countless crossbow bolts mercilessly reaped their lives. A few people reacted and quickly laid down. Someone was hiding close by behind a large tree. After a few breaths, only a few thousand people were left!

Wei Feng was a little distracted. At first, he led the group to the front, but gradually landed in the middle. Because of this, he was lucky enough to avoid the first two waves of arrows.

He quickly crouched on the ground, looked left and right, then quickly crawled to the middle of a few stones, trying his best to cover his body with them. Listening to the rapid sound of the crossbow bolts piercing through the air, he did not even dare to peek through the cracks in the stone to check who had set up the ambush.

"Dang, dang, dang, dang …"

When the crossbow arrows hit the rock, they produced strings of sparks, letting out a crisp sound. Some of the crossbow arrows even pierced deep into the cracks in the rock, causing the rock to crack open.

He curled up his body and dug the ground with both of his hands. As long as he could dig a shallow pit and add the stones to block the crossbow arrows, he had a chance of escaping death. His heart sank as despair rose in his heart. Although he didn't see who had set up the ambush, at this moment, who could ambush them here?

War God King!

Could it be that the prince wasn't among those Iron Guards that had just died?

The soldiers had finally woken up and scattered in all directions. How could they run past the flying crossbow bolts?

More people chose to lie on the ground and use everything around them to block the crossbow bolts and even use the corpses of their dead comrades to cover their bodies.

"Stop!"

Even within the crossbow bolts, the sounds of many desperate cries and wails were exceptionally clear and could be heard by everyone. With this order, the arrow stopped and the voice said coldly, "The Regent's orders are to take off their armor, throw down their weapons, and kneel on the grass 100 feet to the left. Those who do not move will be killed without mercy, and those who resist will be killed without mercy! "

Wei Feng's heart skipped a beat. It really was the War God King!

Although this distinguished and illustrious Prince was already the Regent, previously known as King Jingyuan, almost everyone called him the "Battle God King". He could not help but raise his head. From where the voice came from, he could vaguely see that there was someone in the dense forest. A thick killing intent surged towards him.

He was the first to stand up. Without waiting for the voice to finish, he stabbed his weapon into the ground, took off his armor, and turned around to look at Cong Junming.

Cong Junming was nowhere to be seen. As his eyes roamed the area, he took off his jacket and pants. He ran as fast as he could towards the source of the voice and raised his voice, "General Wei Feng, I have an urgent military report. I beg Your Highness for permission."

"Plop …" He knelt down heavily in front of the woods. He did not look into the dense forest, but turned his head back and looked warily behind him in search of Cong Junming's shadow.

The other officers who were still alive quickly threw away their weapons and took off their armor. Just like Wei Feng, all that was left was their pants as they ran towards the grassland ten Zhang away. They quickly kneeled on the grass and lowered their heads deeply. There were some soldiers who had peeked at the tragedy at the foot of the mountain. Even if they didn't discover anything at that time, they didn't quite understand what had happened.

Did the robbers even need to give strict orders to cover their eyes with black cloth?

General, this is a rebellion!

"Wei Feng, come in."

When he heard the same voice, he turned around and stood up. As he turned his head to check, he slowly walked into the forest.
