Chapter 604 Luring in the enemy (2)
As we continued moving forward, I received even more reports from Shadow Five that there were people following us.
But at this point, it wasn't just Shadow Five alone who was reporting that they were being followed.
At this point, everyone could sense that they were being followed.
After all, the people that were following them didn't seem like they were trying to hide that they were following them at all. It was almost as if they wanted them to know so that they would panic and try to run.
Even with all of this, I just ignored all of them as I kept moving my group forward.
Eventually, we were surrounded.
There was no way around it.
Since the enemy had been moving around us, it was clear that they were trying to force us into a trap of their own. With the way that they were trying to force us to panic and run, it was clear that they wanted to make us go in a certain direction so they could surround us.
But I made sure that we only went in one direction.
Until we finally reached this cave where we were surrounded by the enemies.
They didn't charge us right away as we stood there in front of the cave.
There was an important looking person that came forward and he looked down on us from his horse as he said, "Ha, I never thought that I would encounter the famous Rising Lands Butcher. I had thought that you would be a bit hard to handle, but I never thought that you would be such a fool that you would fall into a simple trap like this."
I didn't say anything as I looked at this person and asked, "Are you the general of the Vikal Kingdom army?"
This person was surprised to hear me ask this question, but then he raised his head up high and said, "That's right, this one is the famous General Risen from the Vikal Kingdom. I'm sure that you've heard of me before!"
I just calmly shook my head before saying, "I've never heard of you before, that's why I asked if you were the general in the first place."
When they were bearing down on us like this, my subordinates couldn't help revealing a panicked look.
The only reason that they had done what they had done before was because I had told them to do this. This was the only instruction that I had given them and they had followed it to a tee.
But now, we had to do something to get out of this situation.
So they looked at me and asked, "General, what do we do?"
I had been watching the soldiers approach at first, but once they reached a certain point, I suddenly turned around and started heading into the cave.
As I went, I said to them, "Follow me." But then I also added in a serious voice, "Be sure to follow all of my steps or else...
don't blame me for what happens."
All of my subordinates couldn't help revealing surprised and confused looks, but they didn't have time to think about it. So all they could do was nod in agreement to this.
So without hesitation, I went into the cave.
The moment that I went into the cave, General Risen suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
As soon as they heard this, all of the Vikal Kingdom soldiers stopped.
It seemed that they were well trained at the very least.
General Risen just watched as his enemies entered the cave.
Even if he was enraged by what had happened, he was still a general and he cared about the lives of his soldiers. Since he didn't know what was happening, he couldn't just send his soldiers into the cave that the enemy was fleeing into without a care.
But after a minute of seeing nothing happen, he said, "It's just a fake, huh? They really have nothing left."
There was a pause before he gave the order again, "Kill!"
