The Guardian's Sword

Even if Crosac wanted to take on Sean 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!” Sean said to
Zander 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 accelerated. 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, Sean drew his
sword. As the silver sword gleamed, Sean chopped off the arrow. However, more
arrows came flying.

"Pay attention to defense. Don't get shot!" Sean commanded 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 Sean and Zander, who brought down Black Gold Flower Mercenary
Regiment?

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

"Don't worry, Miss. I'll protect you!" Uriah said solemnly to Shania.

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

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, Sean 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 Sean's statement.

He did not expect Sean to use himself, Zander, 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!"

Sean 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, Sean and Zander 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."
