Chapter 1697


    Even if Crosac wanted to take on Jagoan and the rest, they would not use such a crude and reckless


    approach.


    “Speed up. We’ll be safe once we reach Crosac’s perimeter!” Jagoan said to Jagoan and the other city


    defense soldiers.


    The city defense soldiers picked up speed, pressuring their horses to go faster. The five military jeeps


    roared as they elerated. Even so, they failed to shake off the enemy behind them.


    As time went on, the distance between the two became closer. They were less than 100 meters away


    from each other.


    Just then, a sharp arrow flew over suddenly!

    Seeing a city defense soldier about to be shot in the shoulder, Jagoan drew his sword. As the silver


    sword gleamed, Jagoan chopped off the arrow. However, more arrows came flying.


    “Pay attention to defense. Don’t get shot!” Jagoanmanded loudly.


    Shania in the car was pale with fear. She had never dreamed that she would be ambushed halfway to


    Crosac.


    What the h*ll was going on?


    Was there a third party trying to cause a misunderstanding and push Dorodo into fighting Crosac?


    Or did someone from Crosac use their status as a stray mercenary regiment to attack Jagoan and


    Jagoan, who brought down ck Gold Flower Mercenary Regiment?


    It would be more dangerous if it were thetter. However, the former seemed more likely for now.


    “Don’t worry, Miss. l’ll protect you!” Uriah said solemnly to Shania.


    The enemy behind was getting closer. If it went on, they would be overtaken sooner orter.


    There was a forked road ahead. They all led to Crosac but were of varying lengths, and one of them


    would take you on a long detour.


    After some hesitation, Jagoan ordered, “Uriah, protect Ms. Lewis alongside her personal guards and


    take a shortcut to Crosac!”


    “What about you?” Uriah asked hastily.


    “I’m going the other way with city defense soldiers to attract the enemy’s attention!”


    Uriah was shocked to hear Jagoan‘s statement.


    He did not expect Jagoan to use himself, Jagoan, and ten city defense soldiers as bait to attract the


    enemy from pursuing them so that he could escape with Shania.


    His dignity as a man did not allow him to do so!


    However, with Shania in mind, he could not refuse such orders. The forked road was near, and Uriah


    did not continue hesitating.


    He could only nod and say, “Alright, but there are so few of you. I’ll give you five of her personal


    guards!”


    Jagoan did not say no. After all, now was not the time to dwell on such a small issue.


    Arriving at the forked road, the five jeeps took the shortcut and sped toward Crosac.


    With ten city defense soldiers and five personal guards, Jagoan and Jagoan set out on the long


    journey.


    After less than half a minute, more than 100 enemy troops followed him.


    The leader of the mercenary regiment immediately stopped and looked at the two roads.


    “Boss, which way should we take?” A subordinate asked quickly.


    The leader of the mercenary regiment pondered for a moment before saying, “Quentin’s daughter,


    Shania, and her bodyguard took the shortcut. Though important, it’s difficult to catch up with them on


    the shortcut. Perhaps they have reached Crosac before we can catch up with them.”
