Instead of stopping, he suddenly increased his speed. He was like an arrow shooting through the air.

Whoos.h.!.+ the leaves on the trees shook as he rushed out the forest. While the group of people followed him with this great sense of urgency, they did not notice that Shad had changed his directions. They had only one thing on their minds, saving their leader, otherwise, even if the mission was successful and the leader died, all of them would still die as punishment.

While they were giving the chase, they did not stop shooting arrows at Shad. however, they were clearly concerned about the fact that Shad was holding that person and did their best to avoid him getting hit by mistakes.

' this person was definitely not a regular person.' He thought as he was running away.

Even though there were mad and furious while chasing after Shad, they were extremely puzzled as well. They couldn't imagine how the 4th prince was able to penetrate into the center of their formation and took hostage their leader. One has to know, their formation was set up in a way that would be impossible for an enemy to sneak attack any of them because as soon as it was done, the whole group will notice. Yet the 4th prince managed to capture their leader who was at the center of the formation, the place that was the most heavily guarded. Plus, what kind of speed was that, is he even human!

Even with everything that was happening, the man in Shad's clutches was still unconscious and oblivious to everything that was happening.

The group of people continued to follow Shad within the forest. However, as the got away from the forest, uneasiness slowly crept inside their hearts. they felt as though something was wrong, and when they looked at the direction where Shad was off too, they were instantly stunned.

The 4th prince that was running away with all his might with their leader, was now standing ahead of them with a calm and composed demeanor.

He looked completely at ease, and that fact made them uneasy. He had dropped the leader on the ground and both of his hands were behind his back.

He disdainfully smiled and calmly looked at them approaching. " well-done guys, you finally made it." He said with a sneer.

Listening to the 4th prince, all them were puzzled they did not know what to say. Is the 4th crazy? they thought.

Seventy people against one, yet you are that calm and even stop running. did you think you can take on all us at the same time?

At this moment there were out of the forest and into a wide field. All of the ambush party in the surroundings could no longer stay hidden within the mountain and was forced to follow Shad as he had captured their leader.

They had developed a foolproof plan to kill the 4th prince and his troops. they will use the huge fire boulder to disrupt them and create chaos, then they will use the siege crossbows to finish them off from the distance. As for the 4th prince, whether he died or not from the arrows was not important. After killing his troops, they could just surround him and his imperial knights and finished them off. Even though they did not have a 6th rank warrior in their rank, they were still confident in their numbers and coordination.

However, all of their plans were disrupted by that wretch. Not only that, he even caught their leader and made them ran through the whole forest like a bunch of dogs chasing after a bone. how could they not be angry.?

"Kill him." One of them yelled. With such an opportunity how could they let the 4th prince go? Not to mention they could save their leader. Even though the 4th prince was acting high and mighty, they thought that he was just tired and could not run anymore, otherwise, why would he stopped knowing what the result might be if he got caught.

However, as soon as they were about to shoot Shad down, he suddenly disappeared along with their leader. To be more precise, they sunk below ground as though they were swallowed. They were so focused on shooting Shad that they did not notice a small black hole beneath his feet. Also, it was nighttime, which made it more difficult to see.

"Leave on alive." While they were freaking out about this sudden turn of even event, they heard the 4th prince voice rang out from the ground as the small black on the ground was closing up.

In less than a second, more seventy soldiers finally caught with them including two imperial knights. At this moment, they all forgot about their leader, all they could think about was how to survive the attack of more than seventy angry soldiers as well as two 6th rank warriors.

Even though some of the soldiers were injured and bleeding due to the sudden ambush, they were determined to fight to the death and killed every single one them to vent their anger.

Everything was reversed within a second, the soldiers pounced towards the other men who were mostly archers, cutting them down like weeds. As the for the two imperial knights, they were like two G.o.d of deaths as they were harvesting their souls. In front of the combined powers of two imperial knights and the soldiers, the archers were like a bunch of newborn babies. before they could even draw their arrows, their heads were long sent flying. it did not take twenty minutes for the two imperial knights and the soldiers to clean them out while leaving only one alive just like the 4th prince had instructed.

Even though they wanted to kill all of them, they did not dare to disobey the 4th prince's order as they went back. As for Shad, he was currently sitting in his carriage with Monalisa with the unconscious man laying on the ground. Shad's black clothes were ripped apart in the front and back, but his body did not have one scratch.

" You can stop pretending to be unconscious now," He said as he kicked the man on the floor.
