Continued Pursuit

"Brothers! Kill them!"

After hearing the order, the Red Fire Army of the General's Mansion drew their swords and attacked the law enforcement team without the slightest hesitation.

There were nearly a thousand Red Fire Army soldiers coming this time. Not only did they have the advantage in numbers, but they also attacked from both sides, making them impossible to defend against.

"Shield formation!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Mang immediately ordered the law enforcement team members to put away their swords and hold shields and form a defensive formation.

They were in pursuit and had already lost touch with the main force. Facing an enemy that was ten times their number, forming a defensive formation was the best option.

Because if they delay for a moment, troops from all directions in the palace will swarm in.

By then, these nearly a thousand Red Fire Army soldiers would only be able to be beaten.

After a brief sprint, the troops of both sides soon collided with each other.

The Red Fire Army is the personal guard carefully cultivated by General Longwei. Not only are they absolutely loyal, but they are also well-trained and can fight against many enemies with one.

In a one-on-one situation, they may be slightly inferior to the elite law enforcement team, but in a large-scale charge, they can have a great advantage.

Especially now, the numbers are overwhelming, and the elite members of the law enforcement team can’t even raise their heads.

If it weren't for Wang Mang's incredible strength, which allowed him to bear most of the pressure on his own, the defensive formation would have been broken quickly.

"Zhang Long and Zhao Hu! You even dare to charge and attack the law enforcement team, are you planning a rebellion?!" Wang Mang shouted angrily.

To openly kill the law enforcement team would be to go against the entire palace. There would be no place for them in the vast West Lucozia.

"If you dare to assassinate our general, so what even if it's treason?!" Zhang Long was not at all disappointed.

"That's right! I'm really rebelling today!" Zhao Hu was also very tough.

The wealth and glory they have today are all given by General Longwei, not to mention the law enforcement team.

Even if they were asked to commit suicide on the spot, they wouldn't even frown.

"You are a bunch of ignorant fellows. I want to see if you can escape from the royal city!"

As Wang Mang spoke, he threw a flare and pulled it toward the sky.

"Bang!"

There was a loud bang.

The red flare instantly shot up into the sky and exploded at a height of several meters.

The red smoke covered most of the sky and lasted for a long time.

This is the signal for martial law in the entire city.

Any official force, upon seeing the signal flare, must gather to provide support immediately.

Those who are staying outside the royal city must return home immediately and lock their doors.

Once the martial law signal flare is sounded, it means that something earth-shattering is about to happen.

Initially, Wang Mang's pursuit of General Long Wei was a law enforcement act and he did not want to alarm too many people.

If the Red Fire Army rebelled, this conflict would directly escalate to the level of treason.

This is not something that can be solved by just one or two people dying.

Tonight the entire Red Fire Army, including the General's Mansion, will be flooded with blood!

"General! The situation is not good, let's retreat first!"

After seeing the red flare, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's faces changed.

Although their Red Fire Army is powerful, they are far from being able to compete with the king's law.

The elite troops from the palace alone are enough to give them a hard time, not to mention that the whole city is now mobilized.

Once surrounded, they will have no way out.

"Leave a team to stop them, and the rest of you follow me!"

General Long Wei acted decisively and led his large army to escape quickly.

If he had not been hit by the Ten Fragrance Softening Muscle Powder, with his current skills, he could have led the Red Fire Army to fight.

Now, let’s save our lives first.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!"

Wang Mang snorted coldly, suddenly jumped up and leaped onto the roof.

At this moment, he no longer cared about the law enforcement team members who were fighting with the Red Fire Army. He was running wildly on the roof, chasing them closely.

No matter what, he couldn't let General Longwei escape, otherwise he wouldn't be able to succeed the young prince.

"General! There are pursuers behind us!" Zhang Long quickly discovered something unusual.

Looking back, he saw a figure jumping up and down on the roof a few meters behind me.

"Send a team to kill him!" General Long Wei shouted in a deep voice.

At this moment, his body was becoming weaker and weaker, and his breathing was becoming heavier.

Only by returning to the safe house and taking the elixir he had treasured for many years could he offset most of the toxins in the Ten Fragrance Softening Powder.

"You two take a team and stop the pursuers!" Zhang Long gave an order.

The two lieutenants immediately turned around with dozens of people, drew their swords and chased after Wang Mang.

As for Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, they followed closely behind General Longwei on his left.

They could both see that the general was in poor health. If an expert attacked him by surprise, without their protection, things would easily go wrong.

"kill!"

Shouts and cries of killing came from behind.

Two deputy generals, with dozens of men, tried to intercept and pursue Wang Mang.

However, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great, and the two deputy generals were killed by Wang Mang with one sword as soon as they approached.

As for the dozens of Red Fire Army soldiers, they scattered as soon as the charge began without forming a battle formation.

It's impossible to stop it.

After breaking through the obstacles, Wang Mang did not fight and continued to pursue the Chihuo Army.

He didn't need to block the main force of the Red Fire Army. He just needed to follow them from a close distance and release a flare from time to time.

Once the palace's main force arrives, it will naturally be time to close the net. - Ton
