Chapter 372 Encountering Robbers in a Foreign Land
Chapter 372 Encountering Robbers in a Foreign Land
Unsurprisingly, opening the door triggered a grenade strapped to it, and the commander was the first to be eliminated.
After emptying the cannons in the coast guard ship, Chu Chen waved his hand to put the ship away and then sped off towards the outside of the capital.
Before the Luo Duo soldiers could react, Chu Chen had already changed into a Luo Duo outfit outside the city and was leisurely walking on the Luo Duo official road, heading towards Da Xia.
After the explosion stopped, one of the two maids who had been guarding Chu Chen died, and the other hurriedly headed towards Chu Chen's room.
The palace is now in complete chaos, and people are hiding inside the buildings, afraid to come out.
Chu Chen was a person entrusted to them by the king, and they could not afford to lose him.
If Chu Chen were to be blown up, then my own life would probably be over too.
But as soon as he reached the door, he saw the house collapse with a roar, and the room where Chu Chen was was instantly buried under the rubble.
"Young Master Chu, where are you? You can't die..."
The maid called out to the inside while shoving bricks outwards.
But then she immediately realized something: the house where Chu Chen was located was completely encased in iron, making it exceptionally sturdy, so he was definitely safe.
After working for a full half hour, she finally led the soldiers to the doorway into the room.
The door was opened by the soldiers' charge, but when they went inside, it was empty; Chu Chen was nowhere to be seen.
"Huh, what about people?"
The maid was a little confused. Could this person have flown away? But her gaze fell on the window that Chu Chen had cut open.
She muttered a few curses in the language of Rhodes, then, ignoring everyone else, she moved and headed out of the palace.
In her mind, Chu Chen had somehow managed to cut through the sturdy ironwork of the window and escape.
Since that's the case, then she herself has an obligation to capture him and hand him over to the king.
Little did they know, their king had already been trampled into a pile of minced meat.
But she was unaware of this, and her mind raced as she chased after him.
“That’s right, Great Xia. If he escapes, he must want to return to Great Xia.”
“Since he was able to break the iron bars, he must have understood Rhodo’s intentions. At this point, he can only be safe if he returns to Great Xia.”
With that thought in mind, he took a fast horse from the city gate and headed out of the city.
Chu Chen held a loaf of bread in his hand, admiring the scenery of Luo Duo on the official road as he headed towards Da Xia.
As he was admiring the scenery, suddenly, a group of men wielding long knives rushed from both sides of the road.
It was babbling in a language that Chu Chen couldn't understand, but its eyes were fixed on the bread in Chu Chen's hand.
Seeing this, Chu Chen looked around and wondered if the security in Luo Duo was really that bad.
This is on an official road, how dare they rob people in public?
Looking at the crowd opposite, they saw that their clothes were tattered and the weapons they held, which could barely be called knives, were already rusty.
It's even better than the Tetanus Blade in my own space.
Judging from their attire, they must be people who couldn't survive on Rhodes either.
Looking at the dozen or so people opposite her, she stared pitifully at the bread in her hand, but pretended to be fierce.
Chu Chen found it somewhat amusing, thinking to himself that in every country, there are people who can't survive.
But as a tenth-rank expert, if I let you steal it, where would my face be?
Chu Chen pretended to put his hands behind his back, and then with a wave of his hand, he drew a long Tang sword from behind him.
This was taken from the office of the CEO of a company in the space.
The blade was gleaming white, sharp, and shimmering with a cold light.
When the crowd saw Chu Chen take out such a powerful weapon, they immediately deflated.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen moved with incredible speed, and in one swift step, he placed the Tang sword against the neck of the leader.
Then she looked at him with a smile.
Before the man could react, he instantly felt the blade approaching. Terrified, he immediately dropped the tetanus blade and walked to either side of the road.
Just as Chu Chen sheathed his sword and prepared to continue his journey, he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura approaching from behind.
He quickly turned around and raised his knife to block, but the next moment, he opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him.
"Holy crap, you're not dead?"
"Young Master Chu? I've been searching for you for so long, why are you making things difficult for me, a refugee named Luo Duo!"
Chu Chen looked at the travel-worn woman in front of him with an incredulous expression on his face.
The person who arrived was one of the maids that Rhodes had assigned to him.
He had fired several shots from the coast guard ship's cannon at his own room.
Unexpectedly, the girl was lucky and actually survived.
"Uh, you came all this way just to chase after me?"
“That’s right, young master. You escaped on your own, and a great upheaval has occurred in the Rhodo Palace. But you are my mission, and I must bring you back.”
"Furthermore, as an envoy of the Great Xia, you have harmed my people of Luoduo without cause. What is your punishment?"
Chu Chen was completely dumbfounded after hearing this. When did I ever harm your Luo Duo people? They were the ones trying to rob me!
However, Chu Chen was too lazy to explain to her and turned to walk forward.
He said as he walked, "Don't fucking follow me, you'll get yourself killed!"
"No, since this is my mission, you can't leave."
As soon as the maid finished speaking, she flew forward and grabbed at Chu Chen's shoulder.
Chu Chen moved with lightning speed, grabbing her hand in the back of his hand and gently twisting it. With a snap, the maid cried out "Ah!" and her hand went limp.
Then Chu Chen immediately followed up with a punch, which landed directly on her chest.
"I forgot to tell you, your strength is like that of an infant to me. I'll spare your life this time because of your service, but there will be a next time..."
Chu Chen didn't continue speaking, but turned and walked away into the distance.
The maid stood frozen in place, the pain in her arm and chest contorting her face, and with that incredulous expression, her face looked as ugly as could be.
If Chu Chen were to turn around and glance at her, he would kill her without hesitation; she's utterly disgusting.
Only after watching Chu Chen's figure disappear into the distance did the maid realize that the explosion in the palace... could it be this person?
No, she realized she urgently needed to return and report to the king.
Little did they know, in the palace, the king had died suddenly, and according to custom, a grand banquet was already being held.
Who would care about a mere envoy like her? Besides, after being punched by Chu Chen, it was uncertain whether she could return alive.
Besides, even if they knew it was Chu Chen who did it, so what? Because at this moment, the Great Xia had already assembled a large army of musketeers, marching in a mighty force towards the snow-capped mountains.
They carried long spears on their shoulders, wielded thunderbolts at their waists, and were wrapped in thick coats, dismounting from their horses and walking.
Their aim was to cross the snow-covered mountain pass and attack Rhodo.
After Chu Chen left, he walked to a secluded spot and casually produced an armored vehicle.
