Chapter 464: Desperation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Such terrifying and precise archery skills, and during the dark night…
Heka and the others didn’t dare to risk their lives anymore, nor did they dare to ride their horses forward. Instead, they dismounted one after another and used the horses to form a simple and crude ring-shaped defense, in hopes of using this arrangement to stop the enemy from slaughtering them.
“Who is it?!1’
Heka and the others didn’t dare to let down their guard after hiding. Heka swallowed hard and roared into the darkness angrily, “If you have the ability, show your true form and fight me one-on-one. What’s the point of hiding in the dark like this?”
From a certain perspective, Heka was more or less bluffing.
His main goal was to probe the other party’s strength and motives and see if there was any hope of escaping.
However, his opponent was clearly much more patient than he had expected. He shouted for a long time, but there was still no response. On the other hand, someone on their side stuck his head out but was quickly shot in the throat…
The other party’s goal was obvious—they only wanted their lives and didn’t want to leave anyone alive.
”F*ck, lot’s fight them!’* Seeing that his companions were decreasing, Heka finally gradually lost his rationality and calmness.
They couldn’t wait any longer. If they waited any longer, they would be killed by the other party!
At that time, they would probably be in an even more passive position!
Thinking of this, Heka pulled out the scimitar in his hand. Then, he gritted his teeth and jumped out of the ring-shaped defense while charging in the direction where the arrow had come from.
As it turned out, this wasn’t much different from courting death.
When Heka was nailed to the ground by the incoming arrows, he turned around and saw his companions who had rushed out with him fall into pools of blood…
What went wrong?
As Heka’s vision darkened, he still couldn’t help but consider this development that he couldn’t understand.
There was clearly nothing wrong with his arrangements…
Why did they encounter obstacles every time until now?
Heka thought that he was doomed this time, but when he opened his eyes again, he had already been moved to a wide and warm tent.
This tent was different from the northern barbarians’ tent where he had lived. It was relatively simpler. There was only a low couch for people to rest on. There was also a bonfire in the middle of the tent and himself, who was tied to the torture rack and unable to move.
It was also because he had woken up that Heka noticed that other than him, three of his companions were tied to the torture rack. However, they seemed to be in a worse state than him and had not woken up yet.
“You look energetic!” A slow chuckle startled Heka, who turned around abruptly and saw a young man in a robe standing at the entrance of the tent. His long black hair was tied behind his head with a simple headband and he strolled in barefoot.
He was dressed in a casual outfit, but he exuded an air of nobility and arrogance. He held an extremely exquisite-looking golden lacquer box in his hand and smiled at him as he asked, “Do you want tea?”
Heka looked warily at the man who walked in slowly, but he couldn’t figure out his background at all, so he didn’t dare to respond.
Pci Qian didn’t care if he responded or not. After he called out, Qian He brought in the tea set.
Pci Qian sat down and began to ground the tea.
“This tea isn’t easy to obtain. I couldn’t bear to take a sip along the way. It’s rare to see a guest like you from afar today, so I wanted to treat you to good tea. I didn’t expect you to not appreciate it.1‘
As Pei Qian slowly ground the tea, he sighed regretfully. “Why do you have to do this? Hasn’t the Siamese Kingdom enjoyed peace all these years? Why do you have to go through all this trouble?”
’’Why should it be a matter of course for your empire to expand its territory, but not when the Siamese Kingdom wants to expand our territory?” Heka couldn’t stand Pci Qian’s words and retorted unhappily, “We re conquering land with our own abilities. No matter what, as long as we succeed, what right do you have to say that we won unfairly?”
“The point is, did you succeed?11 Pei Qian looked up. He wasn’t angered by Heka’s unreasonableness. Instead, he asked in a pitying tone.
Heka turned his head away in embarrassment and his chest heaved violently. He took a long time to calm down before he turned around and glared at Pei Qian. “It’s not time yet. Isn’t it too early to jump to conclusions?”
“Oh, then do you think you can succeed?” Pei Qian nodded good-naturedly and asked him.
“Why not?” Although he usually didn’t treat Nina well, Heka decided to use her to snub him now.
“That’s really something to look forward to.” Pei Qian nodded seriously. After he glanced at Heka’s companions, who were waking up one after another beside Heka, the smile on his face widened. “1 heard that you Siamese shadow guards are protected by the Siamese God, so you can avoid pain and illnesses. Is that true?”
“Why are you asking this?” Heka wasn’t stupid. He wouldn’t lower his guard against Pei Qian just because he acted kind.
Sometimes, this kind of smile was even more terrifying!
“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just a little curious.” As Pei Qian looked at the tea that was gradually boiling on the small red clay stove, the smile on his face widened again. “It seems that youTre not very willing to answer. It’s fine. If you don’t want to tell me, then don’t. I have a way to know the answer anyway.”
“What do you want?” Pei Qian’s words made Heka vigilant. He forcefully suppressed his panic and uneasiness and tried his best to maintain his composure as he continued to confront Pei Qian. However, it was obvious that Pei Qian had lost interest in talking to him.
As Heka asked this question, Qian He had already walked in with a man. It was an old man who looked a little hunched. When he entered, he bowed to Pei Qian respectfully first before turning around.. He stared in the direction of Heka and the others as he asked in a hoarse voice, “Master, who do you want to start with?”
