131: Chen Jiaojiao who misjudged someone

"Great Commander, we've come to support you! Hold on!" cried a group of mages as they ran toward Jacob.

"Hey, who is this guy? Is he a spy?" the lead mage asked, looking at Yuri with suspicion.

"I'm fine! This is a local mountain dweller. The place where the hidden weapons are being fired from is in the bushes ahead. Take him out!" Jacob shouted to the mages under Wei He's command.

"Don't worry, his hidden weapons can't harm us in the short term. Just watch us!" the lead mage shouted at Jacob, holding his magic orb high with his chin raised.

"Pew! Pew!" Bullets struck the mages' Magic Shields and were deflected. As the group of mages began injecting mana into their magic orbs, at this critical moment, the Radiation Engineers who had come with Yuri began picking them off one by one from behind.

"Ah, ah, ah..." Screams came from behind the mages. Everyone turned around to see the mages at the back turning into green pus one by one. Radiation beams were continuously firing from the bushes, attacking the group of mages.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to attack the Snipers first or deal with the Radiation Engineers behind them, so they had to hide behind cover.

Unfortunately, if they hid on the front side of the cover, they would be harassed by the Snipers; if they hid on the back side, they would be picked off one by one by the Radiation Engineers. It was incredibly frustrating.

"This is too bizarre. No wonder not a single scout sent to investigate here has returned. What should we do now?" The lead mage's expression was now one of pure regret, as if he regretted being born into this world.

"Hahahaha, as long as you are willing to surrender, the Commander is willing to spare your lives!" Tanya held a Colt M1911 pistol in each hand. She wore a blue tank top and camouflage pants, her short brown hair looking crisp and dashing.

"Fine, I surrender! We surrender!" The lead mage was the first to raise his hands, while Jacob was already one of Wei He's men.

Wei He had not expected these mages to surrender so easily. In his impression, these mages were supposed to be the type to die rather than surrender. His face twisted as if he were constipated, and he complained helplessly, "I wanted to play a little longer. These people are really disappointing!"

"The Commander has ordered that if you surrender, you must drop your weapons, and you must also hand over your magic orb!" Tanya said sternly, pointing at the lead mage.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it, I'll give it!" The lead mage threw his transparent magic orb out.

"Everyone come out and line up, hands up!" Tanya fired a few shots into the sky with her dual pistols, scaring them into walking out with their hands raised. Only the girl in the green magic robe did not step out.

Seeing that Jacob had not stepped out either, and was still gripping his sword tightly, Chen Jiaojiao became even more determined. She raised her voice and shouted, "I will not surrender! Come and get me!"

"These mages are all cowards, and they call themselves nobles? Pathetic, useless trash!" Soldier A punched the tree repeatedly, his hands scraping and bleeding, as he glared fiercely at the mages who were holding up their hands.

"Exactly! They only know how to bully commoners and act superior, but as soon as they meet a strong enemy, they turn spineless. Hahahaha!" Soldier B rolled his eyes and spat, mocking them relentlessly.

Tanya picked up the magic orb and put it into her pocket. Then, she fired her dual pistols rapidly in alternation. These mages who had surrendered had already been ordered to deactivate their Magic Shields. Their physical strength was no different from that of ordinary people. Without the protection of the Magic Shield, killing them was as easy as slicing vegetables for Tanya.

In just a few seconds, a bloody hole appeared in the head of each of the twenty-plus mages.

"These traitors, these cowards, they deserve it!" Chen Jiaojiao punched the nearby tree, causing the leaves on the tree to fall down, landing on her long, dark hair.

"Hahahaha, well said. They deserved it; they deserved to die. We are not avenging them; we are fighting for the honor and dignity of the Magic Empire. Kill!" Jacob looked at Chen Jiaojiao with some praise, then spoke up to lead the remaining ordinary soldiers in an attack on Tanya.

"Big Brother is right! Charge for the Magic Empire!" A group of ordinary soldiers in light armor brandished their machetes and charged toward Tanya. Before Tanya could even make a move, the other Snipers surrounding them, who hadn't acted yet, opened fire. Their light armor couldn't block high-caliber bullets at all. To make things more interesting, Wei He did not order them to aim for the heads, so most of these soldiers were hit in the hands and feet and fell to the ground.

"Ah, ah! What kind of strange guys are these? A bunch of cowards attacking from the shadows! If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one, face-to-face!" A soldier lying on the ground brandished his sword frantically, but unfortunately, he couldn't hurt anyone.

Seeing that both those who had come to support them and those who were originally hiding had been surrounded by the Snipers, and that most of the ordinary soldiers of the Magic Empire were now wailing on the ground, Jacob strode out.

"Great Commander, don't come out! We're fine! The thieves are still in the shadows; watch out for their hidden weapons!" The soldiers on the ground shouted, but what happened next made them fall silent instantly.

Jacob drew his sword, gripped the hilt tightly with both hands, and used all his strength to swing the blade in a full arc. With one strike, he decapitated a light-armored soldier who had been injured in the leg.

"For the Commander! Long live the Commander!" Jacob shouted loudly under Wei He's orders, holding the head of the soldier he had just killed.

The soldiers who had been shouting just a moment ago fell silent instantly. Some soldiers even tried to use their strong willpower to struggle to their feet, but unfortunately, the Snipers would not give them the chance. As soon as they stood up, they were accurately knocked back to the ground by the Snipers.

"Since you are willing to surrender, I will spare your life on behalf of the Commander, as long as you cut off their heads!" Tanya shouted loudly under Wei He's orders.

"So the Great Commander is such a despicable villain. I really misjudged him!" Crystal-clear tears slid from Chen Jiaojiao's beautiful eyes. She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into the flesh of her palms, and blood flowed through her fingers, dripping onto the green grass.

"Violent Thunder Spirits, destroy everything with your power—Raging Thunder Descent!" Chen Jiaojiao chanted, and an arc of electricity shot out from the blue circular Magic Array in front of her, attacking Jacob.

Jacob was truly a seasoned general. He kicked Erhu. Erhu, who had already been shot in the hands and feet and was on the verge of death, would never have imagined that, before dying, his most respected Big Brother would actually use him as a shield against the lightning.

The lightning emitted by Chen Jiaojiao hit Erhu, who had been kicked up by Jacob to block it, squarely.

Chen Jiaojiao missed her attack and was instantly targeted by the Snipers. She could only continue to maintain her Magic Shield and flee in the direction of the Magic Empire.
