Chapter 1293

Such a humble Third Imperial Prince made Lord Xuan Wuji regard him even more highly.

Brave in wartime, dignified in governance, modest and courteous in bearing — truly worthy of being Your Majesty's child. Perhaps the Third Imperial Prince truly has a chance to win the position of Crown Prince. Such a prince — he simply could not connect him with the inhumane experiments at Beast Orchid City.

The sky had not yet fully brightened.

The few guards on duty patrolling atop the wooden wall yawned first, took a swig from their canteens, and forced themselves a little more alert. The closer it got to the morning shift change, the sleepier they became. There was now less than an hour until the handover — and this stretch happened to be the sleepiest part of their entire night shift.

"Ha… finally almost time to hand over, I'm about to drop dead from exhaustion."

"Yeah, in a bit I'm definitely taking a bath, then going to sleep nice and sweet."

"Together? Hehe!"

"Something's off about you, brother."

Just at that moment, from around a corner hidden a hundred meters outside the fortress, three fully armed cavalry columns suddenly stepped out.

"Wait, look over there! Looks like people!"

On the wooden wall there were naturally no fewer than ten-odd men, so the cavalry of the Thunder Shadow Legion were spotted by the men on the wall the instant they appeared.

But Lei Yi's order was also given at that very moment.

"Everyone, charge!!!"

"Charge!"

"Kill them!"

"Not good, sound the alarm, quick!"

A watchman of the Taji Kingdom reacted at once, telling the man beside him to sound the alarm.

"R-right…"

But just at that moment, a sharp arrow streaked across the void and came flying in, instantly shooting dead the soldier approaching the alarm bell and dropping him to the ground.
