The motorcade sped along as the horses galloped.
Shania poked her head out of the car window in concern and asked, “Uriah, do you think Mr. Jagoan and Mr. Young will…”
Shania had barely finished speaking when Uriah interrupted her, deeply upset
“Miss, there must be hundreds of them, and they must be armed. I’m afraid Mr. Jagoan and Mr. Young…”
Uriah’s words left Shania dumbfounded. Then her beautiful eyes reddened slightly as huge drops of tears spilled from her eyes.
She knew Uriah was right.
Jagoan, Jagoan, 10 city defense soldiers, and 5 personal guards only made up 17 men. However, they were pursued by hundreds of men!
The difference in numbers was simply too great to make up for.
“Maybe… Maybe they’re okay… Mr. Jagoan is strong. He, Mr. Young, and the others will catch up with us…” Shania said in tears.
Influenced by her, the expressions of the remaining members of the personal guards became sorrowful.
Uriah let out a long sigh and said, “Miss, I’ll admit Mr. Jagoan is tough, but what could a tough guy do with a group of enemies a dozen times more than himself?”
Hearing Uriah’s words, Shania became upset.
Uriah looked over his shoulder at where he had come from before saying in resignation, “Ms. Lewis, Mr. Jagoan, and Mr. Young sacrificed protecting us. They’ll live on in our hearts. We will never forget them!”
“Yeah, we’ll never forget them!” Shania nodded heavily as she cried.
***
In the woods, several stray mercenaries knelt on the ground.
Ten city defense soldiers, five personal guards, Jagoan, and Jagoan were in front of them.
“You only caught these alive?” Jagoan frowned.
Jagoan instantly lowered his head in shame when he heard Jagoan’s words.
“No need to explain,” Jagoan nodded and strode over to the captives.
Looking at the captive on the far left of the row, Jagoan asked with a straight face, “Who are you? Why ambush us?”
Hearing Jagoan’s question, the mercenary sneered, threw his head back, and said, “I’d rather die than tell you!”
Jagoan waved his hand without saying anything else.
