Several hours have passed since heavy fog filled the Po River plain in southern Gaul, and Jing Ke has been waiting anxiously in the camp for a long time.
Lu Bu's condition became increasingly difficult to settle down, but very few soldiers arrived at their camp.
Only half of the total deployments.
The sun should have reached the sky soon, but what appeared in front of Jingke was still a vast white fog.
During this period, there was no enemy attack at all. Apart from the loud noise of heavy objects falling to the ground, there was not even a trace of movement in the distance.
However, the quieter the surroundings became, the more impatient Jing Ke felt.
Thanks to her assassination of the original emperor, Jing Ke's psychological quality is quite strong.
At least he won't kneel down under the main hall with his legs weak.
But the current predicament, which seemed to put her on fire and slowly scorching her, was not pleasant either.
The soldiers around him looked at Jing Ke in confusion, waiting for this foreigner in strange clothes to lead them out of the fog.
After watching another group of soldiers come back out of the fog, Jing Ke gritted his teeth, looked at the average number of soldiers, and finally made a decision.
"We can't wait any longer, retreat to the rear now, be careful of ambush!"
I am afraid that more fortresses have not yet received news from Qingqi. Even if they have, it will be difficult to reach here quickly and accurately through this heavy fog.
Jing Ke had no time to wait for the lost soldiers to find their way again.
With Lu Bu's presence, it is not a wise choice to defend this fortress.
Lu Bu's current state is very similar to something Jing Ke once glimpsed in the palace of the First Emperor.
As expected, that man unified the six countries in the end.
Although his dynasty did not last for thousands of years, some things were indeed passed down.
Lu Bu Fengxian should be active in the era four hundred years after her death. As the pinnacle of combat power, Lu Bu was among the people and existed to shine in troubled times.
However, Lu Bu's force is not pure skill or brute force.
Jing Ke saw in him what the First Emperor had tried so hard to promote, the technology of turning people into "inhumans".
Nowadays, Lu Bu, who is half body and half machine, can be said to be a living fortress. Even if he traveled back to 1984 under the pseudonym T-800 to assassinate a mother, it probably wouldn't be too disobedient.
Lu Bu Fengxian gives people this feeling.
Although there is a shortage of magic power due to the lack of a master, and a state similar to a lack of power appears.
But Lu Bu, who was able to fight against the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang on his own without falling behind, even in a state of scarcity of magic power, still has combat power that cannot be underestimated——————if it can be used properly.
As an Assassin, Jing Ke himself could only use his unexpected combat effectiveness when the enemy was not paying attention, but in a frontal battle, he could only rely on Lu Bu.
Therefore, the one who can really be regarded as a fortress should be Lu Bu.
Moreover, reinforcements from Animusfia and Nero are already on the way, so even abandoning this fortress or even the entire defense line is not a big problem now.
"Send my order and break camp and set off now!"
"As commanded."
Jing Ke's order was passed to the soldiers around the camp one by one.
However, she never noticed that the centurion who came last involuntarily put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
In order to avoid getting lost in the heavy fog and avoid being attacked by the enemy, Jing Ke chose to have the soldiers form a square formation at the expense of their marching speed.
She and Lu Bu were located at the beginning and end of the military formation to ensure that they could respond to the enemy's attack as soon as possible.
In this way, after retreating in vigilance for a long time, the fog began to thin, and signs of the mountains finally appeared in front of Jing Ke.
Her face lit up, which proved that they were not far from the Apennine Mountains in central Italy.
The sun hanging high in the sky appeared in front of the soldiers for the first time.
Seeing themselves and others finally walking out of the fog, the soldiers began to cheer.
After all, it is also a huge torment for ordinary people to always worry about whether a hidden arrow will emerge from the thick fog in front of them and hit them.
However, something unexpected happened at this moment,
The centurions not far in front of Lu Bu suddenly swung their swords and slashed at the comrades beside them. Many people even attacked Lu Bu directly without fear of death.
Although the soldiers who dared to sneak attack were thrown out by Lu Bu in the next second, Lu Bu, who was already restless, was completely angered.
Jing Ke could only watch all this happen.
She originally wanted to stop those soldiers from attacking Lu Bu, but unfortunately many soldiers suddenly rose up around Jing Ke, interrupting her pace.
Then a large number of soldiers and chariots suddenly appeared in the valley not far away, attacking the military formation where Jing Ke and Lu Bu were.
The soldier thrown by Lu Bu hit the crowd hard, and many other soldiers were smashed into pulp.
With the frantic Lu Bu and the sudden appearance of enemies, Jing Ke's army was completely in chaos.
"Damn it, he's actually a spy...has he sneaked in since then?"
Sadly, she thought she had successfully escaped the enemy's pursuit.
Jing Ke complained about his command level.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
The chariot flashing with thunder and lightning fell from the sky. Accompanied by the rough war roar of the man driving the chariot, the two majestic bulls pulling the chariot began to accelerate towards Jing Ke and the army behind her.
Every time the bull struck the ground it was like thunder, and even the earth began to vibrate.
Lu Bu, who was going crazy at the rear, also began to chase towards the front without distinguishing between friend and foe.
"whispering sound......"
After trampling many soldiers like dry reeds by the river bank, Jing Ke saw the faces of the attackers.
The chariot flashing with thunder and lightning also stopped in front of her.
It was a strong man with red hair and a thick beard, and you could feel his dominance just by looking at him.
He had the same origin as the First Emperor she had met once before, but was different from him. He was more violent and direct and overbearing.
"Rider, and also a bully?"
Looking at the unkind enemy in front of him, Jing Ke calmly held the dagger in his hand.
"Yes, I am Rider, my real name is Iskandar, the conqueror Alexander————! Unknown Assassin, if you are also a hero who has made great achievements, I will send you Tell me your real name."
Is it actually that Alexander... This is a bit difficult to deal with.
This is the type of enemy she least wants to encounter now.
"Unfortunately, unlike you, I didn't make any great achievements during my lifetime. I was just a nobody worth mentioning. Besides, since I am an Assassin, there is no reason to tell you my real name."
Jing Ke thought about the current situation and the out-of-control Lu Bu behind him.
In addition, the conquering king Iskandar suddenly appeared in front of us.
.........She was frustrated.
The heavy responsibility entrusted to her by others was once again messed up by her.
The soldiers who retreated with Jing Ke today may be lucky if only one-tenth of them are left in the end.
