Chapter 883: Escape

Kuma is a quintessential Ottoman.

This is a fact he prides himself on.

The ancient Ottomans had always wanted to believe in the spirit of the Sipahi Cavalry, but after the Janissaries began to hold power, he had no choice but to join the ranks of the Janissaries for the sake of a living.

However.

In his heart, he actually harbors a deep disdain for these Janissaries who now fill the streets.

In his eyes, this bunch of former slaves and outsiders, mixed together and flooding the streets of Istanbul, are nothing more than a mob full of servility; in terms of spirit, they can be said to be destitute of everything.

He of those years.

He never imagined that he would also become one of them.

Therefore.

During these past few days, as the Sipahi Cavalry besieged the city and sang those grand, sweeping military songs, he actually recalled those glorious years he once spent in the ranks of the Sipahi Cavalry.

He took pride in this, and he took honor in this.

First-published website:

The Great Trend.

He calls the act of throwing himself into the Janissaries the Great Trend, a situation forced by circumstances.

Because he needs military pay, he needs to eat, and he needs to support his wife and children.

Since he was put in charge of placing Hamid under house arrest, he must see it through to the end.

Kuma is a very experienced soldier.

But today.

However.

His most basic identity is still that of a soldier.

Military orders are like mountains.

A loud boom exploded among the crowd. Caught off guard, these Janissaries surrounding Hamid's mansion were instantly stunned.

Because following this loud boom, a thick cloud of smoke appeared before them.

"What is the situation?"

Even he did not know what exactly had happened.

When it happened, when these people appeared in the vicinity, and when they started to take action.

He only heard a Boom— sound.

"Alert, alert!"

Kuma jumped up like a madman.

However, it was already too late.

"What is going on?"

"Who is it?"

They had not reacted at all when the thick smoke had already reached their eyes and noses; a pungent smell made people unable to help but feel a wave of intense dizziness. The rioting masses were also stunned for a moment, but they began to notice that several guys dressed in ordinary clothes who had started to mask their faces had already rushed over with lightning speed.

Amidst the smoke, the special forces moved as if there were no one else around.

This smoke is a "Tear Gas" specially developed by Yintan City, so they were not affected at all by wearing masks.

Hands rose and blades fell.

At the same time, in mid-air, there were people gliding over; there seemed to be nothing in the air, but they just glided over like that, a thin rope invisible to the naked eye having been prepared long ago.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

These masked members of the Dark Night Legion descended from the sky and directly knocked down all the guards on the mansion wall.

Someone had come to save the little prince! Regardless of any Tear Gas, they rushed over like madmen.

More and more people began to participate in the chaos.

Kuma and his group were instantly beaten until they had no power to resist.

Watching the few members of the Dark Night Legion weaving back and forth among these thousands of people, they were methodical, cold and silent, their movements sharp, ruthless, and fast, accurate, and fierce.

"Charge!"

The masses also reacted at this moment!

Like ghosts, they had already appeared at the gate, and soon the gate was opened. This seemingly impregnable defense line was soon smashed to pieces in the chaos. At this moment, Kuma's roar also alerted the Janissaries in the courtyard; their expressions changed drastically, and they turned and ran inside, wanting to drag Hamid out, because Ahmed had said that at a critical moment, they could directly execute Hamid!

However.

The Dark Night members who had descended from the sky had already landed.

"Retreat, retreat! Everyone inside, everyone inside!"

Kuma was experienced and knew that they had fallen into someone's trap, shouting to shrink the defensive line.

But how would the people of the Dark Night Legion give him this chance?

"Damn it!"

Kuma's expression changed drastically, and he roared: "Attack, attack for me!"

"Call for reinforcements, notify the whole city!"

Each holding a sharp small knife, they agilely arrived behind these people.

Scrape, scrape, scrape!

They had not reacted at all before their necks had already been slit by the Dark Night members.

Despite this, they were still taken advantage of!

This is a huge offense!

When the smoke cleared, he finally reacted; thousands of people had begun a fierce assault on the mansion courtyard! He did not believe that a mere hundred people could do anything. However, he had overlooked the power of the masses; at this moment, seeing that the gate, which they had been unable to pry open despite not knowing how many people had died or been injured over these days, had been opened so easily, how could they let it go?

"Yes!"

The members of this Dark Night Squad numbered only one hundred.

Yet on their own side, there were five thousand people!

Although they had no weapons, their bodies were weapons! Though they were few in number, they could still create chaos. Many people began grabbing whatever they could, throwing and smashing wildly—tables, chairs, stools, brooms, mops—the scene was a sight to behold.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

Charge!

The commoners also charged over like madmen!

A full thousand people or more!

"Who goes there?"

Hamid looked vigilant.

"Liu Zheng."

Hamid, who had been locked in the dark room for so long, suddenly jumped up.

Bang.

The small dark room was opened.

But at this moment, the Janissaries led by Kuma had already charged in. The other Dark Night members had already begun to fight them.

"This..."

Hamid's expression changed instantly.

The person who arrived spoke a sentence in Chinese.

Hamid's eyes lit up: "Idol!"

The two Dark Night members who entered pulled him up directly and then ran out.

Even if they had charged in, what was the use?

"Over here!"

Who would have thought, another cold voice spoke.

Only nearly a hundred people came?

How the hell is one supposed to play this!

And everyone knew that now, in this city of Istanbul, it was all Ahmed's people!

What could be in the backyard?

The one hundred Dark Night members had now all entered the courtyard. Just as Jiang Xuan had anticipated, with the help of those Istanbul commoners, they were able to fight while retreating. Moreover, the combat prowess of these Dark Night members naturally needed no elaboration. Which one of them wasn't a match for a hundred? And if an observant person were watching from the side, they would notice that these one hundred people were not fighting without method; their positioning, attack directions, and formation changes were all very particular, naturally containing a set of profound principles within them.

Jiang Xuan, on the restaurant, nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Before Hamid could react, he was hoisted up like a chick.

The backyard?

His expression changed.

"Charge out!"

Hamid was scared silly, feeling like he was about to wet himself. At a time like this, instead of taking advantage of the chaos to run out, they actually came to the backyard? What were these people thinking?

What he did not know was.

He stood up slowly.

At this time, at the back door of the restaurant, an inconspicuous Horse Carriage was already waiting for him.

"No, why come here to charge out!"

Tear Gas could only be used once when caught off guard; the next time, the effect would be greatly diminished.

"Get down!"

Just then, one of them walked to a well in the backyard and shouted coldly.

At this moment.

From all directions of Istanbul, those who wanted to kill him already numbered in the tens of thousands!

Going out now, these one hundred people wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between someone's teeth.

"Ah!"

Hamid closed his eyes in terror.

This was his own family's well; he knew the water below could drown a person.

"What?"

Hamid was terrified.

Without waiting for his answer, the man continued to hoist him up and, without a word, jumped down the well.

Afterwards.

Suddenly, he felt his rapidly falling body come to a sudden stop in mid-air. He opened his eyes wide; by now he had grown accustomed to the dim light here, and looking in shock, he saw the person holding him had grabbed the rock wall to the side. Then, he blinked in disbelief.

When had a hole appeared on the rock wall inside this well?

In the darkness, he felt himself descending rapidly.

It's over!

Was he going to die?

A Dark Night member gave him a push.

Hamid was amazed; the damp cave allowed him to walk forward while hunched over.

Looking at the surrounding rock walls, this passage must have been excavated not long ago; his mind suddenly cleared.

Furthermore, this hole was not small; it could accommodate an adult crawling inside.

"This..."

"Enter!"

In his excitement, he followed this hole and kept walking. After traveling for a distance, the passage ahead finally became wider. It turned out this passage led directly to the underground waterworks of Istanbul!

Incredible!

Hamid was extremely agitated; he really wanted to speak with these few people.

This was done by the idol!

The idol!

So the idol had already arranged everything for him!

"What are you talking about?"

Upon receiving the news that Hamid's mansion had been breached, Ahmed almost vomited blood from anger.

But they all had cold expressions, and none of them could be bothered to pay him any mind.

Are they trying to leave the city?

He felt that everything for him had begun to brighten from a state of despair.

Damn it!

"Pursue!"

If he had known, he should have dealt with this Hamid sooner! Just like his father! He had originally intended to keep Hamid to observe the situation before making plans, because the offensive of the Sipahi Cavalry was too fierce. If, if the city were truly breached, he could then bring out Hamid, support him as Sultan, and save his own life.

His expression shifted repeatedly.

It was all because of his own womanly benevolence!

"Pursue them for me!"

He knew what the consequences would be if Hamid were to appear before these Sipahi Cavalry now.
