Me and my fantasy world

Chapter 212: Encirclement and Being Encircled

Trapped in a white fog, the visible distance is no more than ten meters.

The man wearing a brutal mask threw something away, and a dagger suddenly slipped out from his sleeve and fell to his side.

The eldest prince smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it's just as I guessed."

"Grand Prince, when did you start to become suspicious?" The man wearing a ferocious mask questioned the Grand Prince in a cold voice.

"In the beginning, when you performed rituals, your whole body movements were quite exaggerated, but your right hand was always exceptionally calm compared to your other limbs." At this point, the eldest prince suddenly chuckled, "And you actually hid a blade in the sleeve of your feather robe. Who gave you the idea? Don't you feel that the right feather robe is drooping? It's obvious that there is something hidden."

The man in the brutal mask laughed loudly upon hearing this: "Hahahaha... Grand Prince, you know that being too smart will easily lead to jealousy." As he spoke, the man slowly took off his brutal mask. It was a plain male face without any features, except that the skin color was darker than that of ordinary yellow people, with a bit of bronze flavor.

At this moment, several dark figures slowly appeared among the white smoke and quietly surrounded the eldest prince.

The man smiled knowingly when he saw this: "It seems that the time has come. Prince, if you want to hate someone, then hate why you were born into the royal family."

After saying that, the man slowly walked towards the eldest prince. However, the eldest prince crossed his hands behind his waist, smiling as if he was in control of a strategy, completely ignoring the black shadows slowly approaching him and the man in feathered clothes.

When the man was about to raise his hand to grab the eldest prince's neck, a long sword suddenly jumped out from behind the eldest prince and pierced into the chest of the man in feathered clothes.

The feathered man looked at the shadow behind the eldest prince in disbelief, blood foam was already splattering from his mouth, and he spat all over the eldest prince. However, the eldest prince did not despise him at all, but impatiently cleaned him up a bit and said with a smile: "What a pity, do you think I would be defenseless and tell you so much?"

Just as he finished speaking, the thick smoke happened to dissipate a little, and the man in feathered clothes could see the black shadow in the direction of the long sword. It was a man in plain plain clothes, with an upright face and a frown. He looked at the man in feathered clothes with disdain, with an appearance of righteousness.

"Your Highness, please stay away and don't let these bastards dirty your clothes." Just as the plainclothes man finished speaking, the dark shadows beside the eldest prince gradually appeared. Each of them was wearing extremely simple civilian clothes. If they didn't have a long sword hanging around their waists, one would really think they were just a group of simple farmers.

The eldest prince shook his head: "It doesn't matter whether it's dirty or not at this moment. It's a blessing to be able to solve this urgent problem. Don't worry about me. Just do as you please."

The plainclothes man hesitated for a few seconds, and seeing that the eldest prince stood resolutely in front of the feathered man without giving in, he immediately pulled out the long sword that was inserted into the feathered man's chest. At the moment of pulling out the long sword, the plainclothes man immediately stepped forward, and the tip of the long sword was placed on the neck of the feathered man. In an instant, the head of the man was separated, and the feathered man fell backwards without hitting the eldest prince.

The eldest prince watched all this calmly, not caring about the blood and flesh splattering on his face. After the plainclothes man dealt with the feathered man, he immediately put away his sword and knelt on one knee respectfully: "Your Highness, our company of a hundred people has been assembled."

"Is that so?" said the eldest prince, turning slowly.

At this time, most of the snow-white smoke had dissipated. Although the situation outside the Bagua Formation was still unclear, one could still see a 9x9 formation standing respectfully and neatly behind the eldest prince. The moment the plainclothes man knelt down, the remaining 99 people also knelt on one knee together.

"Your Highness." The remaining 99 people shouted softly together. Their voices were not as loud as those of a soldier in parade. They were probably afraid of being noticed by the enemies outside the Bagua Formation.

The eldest prince nodded slightly. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and his expression turned cold. He glanced at the 99 people in front of him and asked, "Have you explained everything to your family?"

"Yes!" Hundreds of people, including the plainclothes man, answered resolutely. The voices were still not loud enough, but the determination of every soldier to die could be heard.

The eldest prince looked at the thick smoke that had not yet dispersed around him and said calmly, "We, Andressa, owe you. Your elders, wives, and children, I, Fei Zheng, will protect them for the rest of their lives even if I lose my position as a prince. If I treat them badly and cause the heroic spirits to come and claim my life, I will have no complaints."

"I dare not!" The responses of the hundred people have gradually increased in volume, and their voices are getting louder and louder.

"Everyone, get up." The eldest prince waved his hand, and at the moment when everyone stood up, the eldest prince took advantage of the plainclothes man beside him not paying attention and drew the long sword from his waist.

"Your Highness, what are you doing..." The plainclothes man immediately panicked and wanted to stop the eldest prince. After all, the eldest prince was not the second prince, and the eldest prince had no talent for these weapons. He was afraid that the eldest prince would really risk it all this time and decide to fight the thief himself.

However, the eldest prince spread out his left hand, grasped the long sword with his right hand, and clumsily used the long sword to cut a big gash on his left palm. The pain made the eldest prince's mouth twitch slightly, but he recovered immediately and returned the long sword with the blade facing down to the plainclothes man beside him.

The eldest prince's left hand was slightly bent, as if he was holding something. The wound on his palm continued to bleed, and the dripping blood dyed the pebbles under the eldest prince's feet bright red.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Unfortunately, there is no wine today. Unfortunately, I have not had a celebratory drink with the soldiers. Now I want you to stay here forever. I owe you. Today, I will use blood instead of wine to fulfill my wish!"

After saying this, the eldest prince put his left hand to his mouth, and blood gushed out like a tide, pouring into his mouth, even dyeing the eldest prince's white teeth crimson.

The hundred-man company looked at each other, hesitated for only a few seconds, and then drew their swords. They all cut their left hands in unison, bent them into a bowl shape, and raised them above their heads: "We will always follow the First and Second Princes, and serve the Andressa royal family forever!"

After saying that, they also raised their left hands to their lips and put them into their mouths without reservation.

If it were an ordinary royal family, hearing that their subordinates were not only loyal to them but also loyal to their younger brother, they might feel resentful.

However, after hearing this, the eldest prince burst into laughter, because in his opinion, the second prince could not govern a country well without the eldest prince's assistance; and the eldest prince could not defend a country well without the second prince's prestige.

What's more, the Second Prince has no desire for the throne. It is precisely because of this pure trust between brothers that the First Prince and the Second Prince have no hostility. One is a civil official and the other is a military official, which complement each other perfectly. This trust has also pushed them to a whole new height, a pair of royal brothers who trust each other absolutely and are unprecedented in history.

"Okay!" The eldest prince suddenly shouted loudly, "If today's plan deviates from what I planned and you are in trouble, please wait for me in front of the Sanzu River. We will not return until we are drunk in front of the Sanzu River, and we will be brothers in the next life!"

The eldest prince suddenly lowered his status and cordially addressed the soldiers as brothers, which instantly ignited the hearts of the soldiers. They shouted in unison: "We will accomplish our mission, no matter what it takes!"

……

Outside the smoke and dust, the army surrounded the Bagua formation in a black mass, blocking it tightly to prevent the eldest prince from escaping by cheating.

On the podium of the eldest prince, two maids stood behind the minister, one holding a wine glass and the other holding a plate of fruits and vegetables.

The Minister of State sat on the high platform, sitting in the position of the eldest prince, with his legs crossed, chewing fruits and vegetables, and staring at the Bagua formation wrapped in white smoke with a smug look on his face: "My dear nephew, don't blame your uncle. If you want to blame someone, blame your father for not listening to your uncle's advice and going out to conquer. Instead, he is like a turtle hiding in his own territory, and how will outsiders view our Andressa Dynasty?"

"Your Excellency is right. Our dynasty is at its peak. If we cling to one side, other countries will only look down on us."

"That's right. I think the other three countries have been coveting the barren land in the center of the continent for a long time. There must be countless gold and silver treasures in that area. We can't let it fall into the hands of outsiders."

The two maids behind him responded respectfully.

After hearing this, the Minister laughed frivolously: "Hehehe, you two little girls actually know the ins and outs of this place. Yes, that barren land definitely has shocking secrets waiting for us to discover. Although it is within the territory of Tajerina, Florence and Takias have already signed a treaty with Tajerina, and the three empires have been conducting joint research for more than a few months. And I, Andreisa, am staying on one side and not paying any attention? How could this be possible!"

The Shangshu suddenly stood up, walked to the edge of the platform, stared at the dark clouds in the distance, and suddenly shouted loudly.

"When I, Andressa, change the dynasty, I will definitely crush the three empires and unify the continent!"

"Hahaha... Uncle has great ambitions."

The eldest prince's voice suddenly rang out from the smoke, causing the minister to stagger two steps and almost fall off the platform.

He carefully observed the smoke and whispered in panic, "What, what happened? He's not dead? Didn't the priest kill him?"

However, before the Shangshu could react, several figures suddenly jumped out from the smoke and dust, like arrows shot from a bow, and shot into the army that surrounded the Bagua formation.

In the blink of an eye, the throats of four or five people were cut. They covered their throats in surprise, looked at the "farmers" in plain clothes in front of them in shock, and knelt on the ground in confusion.

"What, what's going on? Why are there thieves in the Bagua Formation?" The Shangshu pretended to be calm and cursed at several people who came out from the smoke and dust.

"Thief? Uncle, how can you be so drunk in broad daylight?" The eldest prince's voice was heard again in the smoke and dust.

The swift black shadow immediately rushed out of the smoke and dust, climbed onto the platform in an instant, quickly passed the Shangshu, and came to the side of the two maids behind him.

"Who, who..." The Shangshu naturally saw the dark shadow approaching, but when he turned around to look, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his abdomen. He touched his abdomen unconsciously and felt a burning pain.

When he raised his hands again, they were covered in blood. He then realized that there was a big cut on his abdomen and blood was pouring out like a flood breaking through any obstacles.

When the Shangshu was wondering who had hurt him, he found that the necks of the two maids who had been standing there were also stained with blood and fell down one after another.

In panic and fear, he quickly ran behind him, but the wound in his abdomen was still aching. Just as he turned around, he fell down again because of the severe pain in his abdomen.

But the Shangshu was at the edge of the platform at this time. He realized it only when he turned his head and fell. He groaned in pain and fell from the platform. In his dying moments, he still couldn't see who hurt him. He only saw that there seemed to be a strange "I" symbol on the man's chest.

The man who reached the top of the platform was wearing plain clothes, but there was a big Arabic numeral "01" printed on his chest. The layout of the characters looked very much like a modern basketball player's jersey.

The man raised his blood-stained sword and shouted, "Fight the bandits! Kill them!"

"kill!"

In an instant, similar people rushed out from the fog one after another, with similar symbols painted on their chests, but most of them were double-digit numbers composed of Arabic numerals.

However, since they were able to surround the large formation so tightly, there must be a lot of people. Looking around, there were at least more than 10,000 people.

As for the company of a hundred men under the eldest prince, the gap was nearly a hundred times, and no matter how he commanded, he could not turn the situation around.

But this company of a hundred men were all ready to die. Facing an enemy force that was a hundred times their size, they displayed the momentum of a thousand or ten thousand men. In addition, the smoke and dust behind them was still thick and had not dissipated yet. People kept rushing out from the smoke and dust one after another.
