Chapter 547 - A Jinx
The hundreds of people of the Red Flame Battalion were confined in groups in big cages. The pungent smell in there suggested they could have been used previously to hold animals.
But Qiu Yan knew the smell actually came from demons!
As the sound of footsteps approached, a person beyond their expectations showed up, receiving the military salute of the guards.
Surprisingly, it was a woman, but considering the splendid design of the castle, it made sense.
The woman was tall and slim. Her legs were so long that it seemed she didn’t have a waist.
Her boots were knee-high, while the fair and smooth skin between her knees and her lap was exposed.
Her light armor had more aesthetic than practical value. A large part of her skin was exposed. It was dangerous for a woman to be on the battlefield in such an armor, especially for such a pretty woman.
The impatient demons swarmed in right away.
“Princess! Go back into the castle!” Some junior captains went up to the woman immediately to protect her.
“I’ll stay here. I’m curious to see how they’ll be rescued!”
The woman was reluctant to go. She wasn’t taking the demons seriously yet.
She was confident for a reason. Before the demons started the attack, the weapons in the castle had been all set.
Among them there were bolt throwers, and those weren’t the most powerful weapons the woman had in the castle. What really surprised people was a chariot that could throw fire.
As the fire-like heat wave was shot into the sky, the demons were burnt right away.
In the meantime, the guards had all gathered in the square where the cages were. The demons had no way to break the defense, which was composed of guards in the Reaching Heaven State, not to mention five Venerables.
“I’ll kill ten soldiers for every minute that passes. Just keep using the demons to consume our military power! Let’s see who’ll have the last laugh!”
The woman was not only hot, but also hot-tempered. Although she saw nobody in the sky, she kept yelling loudly.
Then someone walked out of the cloud of demons slowly.
None of the demons around him attacked him. Instead, they made way for him.
“Jiang Chen!”
Qiu Yan was pleasantly surprised. Jiang Chen was still alive and safe in spite of the chase of the Dragon Rebel Army.
What was more, he had broken through to the Venerable stage.
However, the current situation suddenly occurred to Qiu Yan while she was feeling happy for him. She hurried to say, “Jiang Chen, these are the Dragon Rebel Army’s guard troops. They have five Venerables. Run!”
Sizing up the castle below, Jiang Chen kept approaching them, as if he hadn’t heard her.
“Not bad.” The woman cooled off a little bit after seeing Jiang Chen’s face. She said with a smile, “You’ll make a good guinea pig.”
