Chapter 49: Dilemma
The Goth young man finally understood why the princess asked him to yield so easily yesterday.
With over 200 experienced soldiers, their combat power was terrifying. Even Senior warriors would be trapped in the killing formation and unable to escape.
Although they had some means of self-preservation, being in the territory of the Golden Leaf Empire with an important mission, it was better to avoid unnecessary risks. However, the goth young man was still not very comfortable with the situation.
Goths were known for their cunning and cruelty, and they would do whatever it takes to get what they want even if they suffered losses. The goth young man was no exception, but he dared not show any of it in front of the respected Goth princess.
The Goth merchant caravan and the disguised caravan of Qi Bei traveled through more than ten cities along the way, and they were about to leave the Central Province. Once they were out of the Central Province, they would be out of the core range of Emperor Han Mos power, and Qi Bei would be relatively safe.

On this day, the two caravans arrived at Green Leaf City, the last city in the northwest of the Central Province.
The moon in the sky was intermittently visible, making it look very gloomy. The wind rose, rustling the trees on the street.
Its going to rain. Qi Bei pushed open the window of the tavern room and looked at the slowly gathering dark clouds in the sky, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
If it rains, it rains. Were not camping in the wilderness anyway. Huan Ying behind him said.
I just dont feel at ease. Come here and let me hug you. Qi Bei reached out and grabbed Huan Yings smooth hand, pulling her into his arms. She protested softly and struggled a few times, but eventually let Qi Bei hold her. After all, they had been doing a lot of hugging and cuddling lately.
Now I feel much more at ease. Qi Bei sniffed the faint fragrance of Huan Yings hair and laughed lightly.
As the night grew darker, the long-awaited heavy rain finally came, and the whole sky was covered with dense curtains of water, making it impossible to see anything a few meters ahead.
Qi Bei sat cross-legged on the bed, suddenly feeling a palpitation. He opened his eyes abruptly and said in a low voice, Xiao Jiu, Thirteen.
This is an order. Execute it immediately, Qi Bei said coldly.
Yes, master, Lie Feng and Iron Head trembled and quickly left with Huan Ying. Huan Ying turned her head and looked at Qi Bei, biting her lip. For the first time, she hated herself for being useless. Not only could she not help Qi Bei, but she was also a burden.
Lets go, Qi Bei rushed out of the window first.
Xiao Jiu and Thirteen disappeared from the house, and Jin Gang used his strength to jump out of the window like a cannonball.
Boom boom boom A row of heavily armored soldiers dressed in thick golden armor, holding golden shields in their left hands and golden swords in their right hands, armed to the teeth, were steadily pushing forward in the pouring rain with unstoppable momentum.
Behind the heavily armored soldiers were two rows of crossbowmen holding magical crossbows, followed by two mages in the back.
Qi Bei Nord is here! Qi Bei jumped out of the window and shouted, his black longsword flashing with golden light as he charged towards the frontmost Dragon Armor Legions soldier. Qi Beis call immediately attracted the attention of the other Dragon Armor soldiers in different directions. He did this to let the others escape safely.
Emperor Han Mo wanted to block him but didnt care about the others.
Qi Beis golden battle qi hit the heavily armored soldier, and immediately the soldiers golden head armor and chest armor split open, revealing his frightened face. Blood slowly trickled down his forehead.
Then two screams followed, and two black shadows flashed by. The two mages in the back were already dismembered.
Launch the magic net. A captain of the Dragon Armor Legion shouted. The crossbowmen around raised their magical crossbows, and suddenly, a hail of arrows shot into the air, interweaving into a huge magic net that was meant to trap Qi Bei.
You want to trap me with such trash magic? Qi Bei sneered and suddenly fused his internal energy with his battle qi, striking the magic net in midair. With a sizzle, a crack opened in the magic net, but it immediately began to recover.
At this moment, Jin Gang charged up with fierce momentum and inserted both his hands into the gap of the magic net. In an instant, his two arms swelled to twice their size, and huge mysterious power flowed through the blood vessels that twisted around.
Roar Jin Gang roared up to the sky, pulling the magic net apart on both sides, and a huge opening was torn out. Qi Bei rushed out of the crack in an instant, but his body immediately stiffened, and his gaze was extremely gloomy.
At this time, more than three thousand soldiers of Dragon Armor Legion formed a huge circle, surrounding him tightly. On the other side of the circle, a man with white hair stood with his arms crossed, holding a snowy white sword that trembled slightly. The sword emitted circles of white cold light that spread out from it.
