Long Rui beca alert imdiately. Holding Xuexue, he leapt and flew onto the City Gate Tower.
In the hazy moonlight, he was like a great bird spreading its wings, moving with incredible grace. Everyone was dumbfounded, unable to believe that this outsider possessed such high martial arts skills that he could ascend the city gate without any support. Instantly, they felt a bit relieved; even if the horse bandits ca, with such a master, they might not necessarily lose.
The county magistrate was guarding above. Seeing Long Rui co up, he quickly whispered, "Prince, what’s going on?"
"The horse bandits are here. Tell everyone to be careful."
"No, they aren’t!"
Hearing the dog barking, the county magistrate also thought the horse bandits were coming. However, from his vantage point above, he looked for a long ti but saw nothing unusual in the darkness below.
Long Rui pointed at a spot below the city gate and said, "Sir, take a closer look down there."
The county magistrate looked again carefully and said curiously, "Oh! Strange, I clearly rember there being no piles of grass down there. How co there are so many now?"
Suddenly, he realized sharply, "Oh no, the horse bandits are here!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down; don’t alert them!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The county magistrate quickly agreed and then quietly instructed everyone to stay alert. He ordered them to pass the ssage along quietly that the horse bandits were coming, so everyone could be ready to fight back at any ti.
Outside the city gate.
The Big Boss arrived with over three hundred n from the mountain stronghold. To avoid alerting anyone, they didn’t ride their horses this ti but carried weapons, hoisting long ladders as they headed straight for the City Gate Tower of Hu’s Bay...
To be safe, they even cut so branches as cover, slowly approaching the City Gate Tower.
So, at first, the county magistrate hadn’t noticed they had already arrived.
The horse bandits finally climbed to the gate, no longer hiding, and threw off the branches covering them. They set up the long ladder, intending to sneak up to the City Gate Tower unnoticed.
All around was silent, except for the distant dog barks and the sounds of frogs. Everything seed so calm.
The leader raised his lips in a triumphant smile, thinking that tonight’s massacre of the people of Hu’s Bay would surely succeed.
Just as they relaxed their guard, setting up the ladder and preparing to climb the gate.
Suddenly, a loud shout ca from above, "Attack! Hit them hard!"
Before they could react to what was happening.
Stones and wooden blocks rained down from the City Gate Tower as if it were pouring, instantly striking the horse bandits, causing them to howl in agony.
The stones and wooden blocks were thrown down for just a mont then stopped.
The horse bandits breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had narrowly escaped disaster.
"Splash!"
Just as they were feeling fortunate, water was poured down from above the tower...
"Splash!"
Bucket after bucket.
However, this water had a peculiar sll.
When the Big Boss realized what it was, it was already too late. He yelled, "Oh no, it’s flammable oil, run!"
However, before he could finish speaking, countless torches fell from above.
The horse bandits’ bodies were instantly all ablaze.
"Ah... help!"
The leader, who hadn’t been drenched in the flammable oil, remained unhard. Watching his n instantly engulfed in flas, he was montarily stunned, not comprehending what had happened.
"Big Boss, save us!" a burning man scread in agony as he rushed at him.
Faced with a life-threatening situation, the leader didn’t care about brotherhood. Without thinking, he kicked him away.
"Boom!"
The burning man was kicked back over ten ters.
"Big Boss, you...!" The burning man slowly fell to the ground, no longer making a sound.
