Chapter 34 Mercy and Betrayal

"We mobilized so many people, but the guy still escaped. I'm so angry!"

"Boss, he's just a Shu Kingdom scout, there's no need to be so angry!"

"Fuck! Do you still have any sense of honor as a soldier? So many brothers have died one after another, but we haven't even captured a single enemy. This is a huge shame!"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong."

"But it's really strange. How could his trace suddenly disappear completely? How did he do that?"

Wang Yao hid in the bushes, staring coldly at the three black soldiers approaching from afar. Judging from their attire, they were two melee soldiers and one magic soldier, and they were not a big threat. However, Wang Yao was a little confused as to why these three black soldiers turned back?

Turning his gaze to the leopard corpse lying on the side of the path, Wang Yao hesitated for a moment, but slowly raised the armor-piercing bow in his hand. However, considering that he was still injured, Wang Yao did not attack immediately. If he could avoid it, he was actually willing to "mercifully" let the three black soldiers live!
However, unexpectedly, during the chat of the Black Soldiers, Wang Yao also heard a piece of news that made him happy: the Black Soldiers have not captured any of the Shu Kingdom's vanguards so far. That is to say, Erda, Maomao, Shiliang Ono and the other four have successfully escaped the pursuit of the Black Soldiers?

There was no need to risk going back to look for 2da and Shiliang, as the teammates had already safely evacuated the line of fire. This was undoubtedly very morale-boosting news for Wang Yao. Next, he just had to be more cautious and retreat to the second defense tower before being discovered by the black soldiers!

Although there are many twists and turns along the way, as long as the result is good, all the hard work is nothing!

But sometimes, man proposes, God disposes.

Just as Wang Yao was imagining how happy his teammates would be when they saw him coming back alive, the three black soldiers had already seen the leopard's corpse lying on the side of the road.

“Oh my goodness! Could this be the Swift Shadow Leopard?!”

"How can this be... Holy shit! It really is a Swift Shadow Leopard? How could it be! Where's its head? Who killed it?"

"How could anyone possibly kill the Swift Shadow Leopard? I think its head must have been bitten off by the Violent Bear!"

With exclamations, the three black soldiers ran to the leopard's corpse. The captain-level black soldier with a square face leaned down and began to examine the dead Swift Shadow Leopard, while the other two black soldiers stood by and looked at it stupidly with amazement on their faces.

"No, this wild monster did not die in a fight among its own kind," the square-faced black soldier suddenly spoke, interrupting the conversation between his two companions.

Wang Yao felt depressed when he saw the gloomy expression of the square-faced black soldier. He was indeed a veteran! He easily judged from the wound marks on the leopard corpse that it was the result of human killing. Was it this square-faced black soldier who almost found him hiding in the bushes?
As Wang Yao secretly admired him, the square-faced black soldier reached his hand into the black panther's cut abdomen. Then, his expression instantly became serious: "The blood is still warm. This wild monster just died not long ago! Be alert! The person who killed the Swift Shadow Leopard is still nearby!"

"Binggo, you got it right!" As soon as the black soldier finished speaking, Wang Yao, who was hiding in the bushes and had already aimed his arrow at them, loosened his fingers that had been tightly gripping the arrow tail with a whisper.

Their tracks have been exposed, these three illegal soldiers cannot be left alive!
With a bang, the silver arrow, carrying the force of wind and thunder, hit a melee soldier in the chest. The powerful force lifted him up and nailed him to a small tree not far away!

After successfully killing a black soldier, Wang Yao did not pause at all and shot two more arrows at the other two black soldiers.

All this happened in just a moment!
"Get out of the way!"

Unexpectedly, the square-faced black soldier was quite powerful. The moment his teammate was nailed to the tree, he roared and then jumped away sharply. Although his reaction speed was very fast, facing the armor-piercing bow, which was already a magical weapon among the soldiers, no matter how fast his reaction was, it would be useless.

Puff! Swish! Two silver arrows pierced through their abdomens respectively. Perhaps because they hid in time, the two silver arrows did not hit their hearts, but only seriously injured them.

"Who is it? Get out!" The square-faced black soldier covered his abdomen with a bloody hole and screamed madly in the severe pain. As for the magic black soldier, it seemed that his injuries were more serious and he was lying on the ground groaning.

After making sure that the target had no resistance left, Wang Yao walked out from the bushes. Since the two black soldiers were lucky enough not to be shot dead on the spot, he had some questions he wanted to ask.

"Hello!" Wang Yao kicked away the swords and shields that fell to the ground, and coldly pointed the armor-piercing bow in his hand at the two of them: "If possible, please don't shout or try to resist, otherwise I will be happy to reward you with another arrow."

Amid the shocked and desperate expressions of the two black soldiers, Wang Yao kicked away all the weapons on the ground and walked up to them: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Wang Yao, and I am the Shu Kingdom's vanguard that you have been trying to capture."

"Were you really hiding in the bushes before?" The injured square-faced black soldier glared at Wang Yao fiercely with an "I knew it" expression on his face.

Wang Yao glanced at the square-faced black soldier and sneered, "Yes, you are really amazing. You almost found me before."

"Haha." The square-faced black soldier had a tragic smile on his face. "I didn't expect that a group of elite black-armored soldiers of the Wei State would be fooled by a little kid with a bunch of footprints. It's really ironic."

"As the saying goes, the new generation will always be able to push the old generation forward. But to be honest, I never thought I could fool you." After a pause, Wang Yao continued, "I have a few questions for you. As long as you answer them obediently, I won't embarrass you."

"Haha! After using such a cheap method to deceive our large army, do you still want to treat me like a three-year-old child?" The square-faced black soldier closed his eyes and said with a calm expression: "If you want to dig out any information from me, I advise you not to waste your time. It's better to kill me as soon as possible!"

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

The square-faced black soldier should know very well in his heart that what Wang Yao meant by "not difficult" is actually a polysemous word!
Seeing that the old soldier was too tight-lipped, and considering that wasting one more second could lead to more danger, Wang Yao turned to look at the black magic soldier on the other side, grinning with his bloodstained mouth, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you answer my question?"

If there was a mirror at this moment, Wang Yao himself would probably be shocked, because his smile now, rather than being gentle, looked more like a hungry wolf with blood in its mouth and bared teeth.

Just like a beast tearing its prey apart, the glance back was cold and bloodthirsty! When the magic black soldier saw Wang Yao's creepy smile, he shrank back and said in fear: "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! Please don't kill me!"

"Very good." Seeing that the magic black soldier was very cooperative, Wang Yao nodded with satisfaction: "Besides me, have you ever captured any scouts from Shu?"

"No, no, we haven't caught any of you so far." The magic black soldier shook his head like a rattle, and it didn't look like he was lying.

After confirming that his teammates were all safe, Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and then asked, "Then why did you come back? Where is the large group with you?"

"We." The magic black soldier opened his mouth.

"If you still have a bit of soldier's honor, shut up!" At this moment, the square-faced man next to him suddenly shouted angrily: "Do you really think this kid will let us go after this?"

The frightened magic black soldier stared at the square-faced man, then turned to look at Wang Yao, and his originally open mouth immediately closed again.

Shit! Do you want me to talk too much?!
Wang Yao turned around and glared at the square-faced black soldier. Looking at his black face full of sarcasm and mockery, a nameless anger suddenly ignited.

"Do you want to know what glory is?" Wang Yao suddenly asked the magic black soldier coldly. Then, in his confused gaze, Wang Yao raised the armor-piercing bow, put an arrow on the bowstring, turned around and shot an arrow directly at the square-faced man's head. The white brain mixed with blood was like a tomato falling from a high place, splattering all over the ground!
The magic black soldier was stunned for a moment. He stared blankly at the naojiang all over the ground. After a while, he suddenly started to vomit frantically while holding the ground.

This should also be a new recruit.

Looking at the helpless and pale face of the magic black soldier, a trace of pity flashed through Wang Yao's heart. His conscience was like a steel needle piercing his heart, making him irritated. He really couldn't adapt to such a torturous thing.

This damn war!!
Wang Yao suddenly raised his armor-piercing bow and aimed it at the magic black soldier. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted coldly: "See? This is fucking glory! If you understand a little bit, answer my question quickly! My patience is limited, don't force me!!"

"Don't, don't kill me! I said!" The magic black soldier was so scared that tears began to flow out of his eyes. "The main force is still ahead. Only the three of us came back. Because when we were searching for you, we found that Shu seemed to be dispatching its main force to go on the road. In fact, the three of us were going to return to Wei to report the situation here!"

Main force? Did Shu really dispatch heroes to destroy Wei's first defense tower as he said?!
Wang Yao was delighted, but his expression remained indifferent: "Last question, which direction is Shu heading in?"

"Over there." The magic black soldier pointed in a direction with a trembling hand.

"Very good." Wang Yao smiled with satisfaction. He had already obtained the information he needed, and this magic black soldier——

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, like a wild wolf coldly staring at its prey. Wang Yao slowly raised the armor-piercing bow in his hand and aimed at the fragile life in front of him.

"You, you! You said you would let me go as long as I answer your questions!!" As if he had sensed the coming of death, the magic black soldier desperately moved his body backwards, as if the farther away from the armor-piercing bow, the safer he would be.

Wang Yao did not say anything, but just stared at the black soldier coldly, and the arrow in his hand moved slowly along with his movements.

"Please! Don't kill me, don't kill me!" The magic black soldier cried miserably, and with it came a foul smell. He was actually frightened to the point of incontinence.

What a fragile life.

Looking at the crying magic black soldier, Wang Yao's brows furrowed more and more, but in the end, he gently put down the armor-piercing bow in his hand and said, "You can go."

The magic black soldier, who had been begging for mercy and crying, was stunned like a piece of wood. He looked at Wang Yao in disbelief, tears still streaming from his eyes.

Wang Yao frowned and said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? Get out of here before I regret it!"

"I'll get out of here right now! Thank you, thank you!" The magic black soldier, as if he had been granted amnesty, hurriedly thanked and crawled away.

Looking at the fleeing figures of the magic black soldiers, and then looking at the mess of corpses and blood on the ground, Wang Yao shook his head and laughed at himself. "Just think of it as accumulating some blessings for yourself."

No matter what, at least he now knows which direction Shu is heading.

He put the armor-piercing bow on his back, put away the dagger, and tore a layer of cloth from the dead black soldier. He simply bandaged his injured left hand, then Wang Yao stood up and headed towards the road.

But before he had walked far, a sharp, piercing sound suddenly came from behind him without any warning.

Wang Yao turned around in disbelief and saw a fiery red light flying vertically into the sky behind him.

"M-Magic soldier's flare?!"

That magic black soldier actually turned around and betrayed him! !

An orange-red pillar of fire rose from the ground, reflected in Wang Yao's pupils, burning his eyes red.

——There is no mercy in this world!!
