Chapter 2: Beidou's Cavalry Escort

  No time to think, the curved knife was already close at hand, and the long spear in his hand couldn't block it. If he let things go on like this, he wouldn't die but would have to lie in bed for a few days. He lightly sighed, it seemed that he had to reveal his trump card. Unlucky, really too unlucky. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have gotten involved in this trivial matter. Misfortune should be shared by all, Inner Body Mystical Soldier, who says I don't have one?

  Just as the curved knife was about to reach him, a black, square-shaped object resembling a brick appeared in front of him. With a loud crash, the curved knife rebounded off the black brick. The curved knife wielder was momentarily stunned, then saw the opposing soldier raise the black brick in his hand and throw it at him. He instinctively blocked it.

  "Clang clang clang......"

  A loud and clear sound, a strange scene appeared in front of the city gate.

  A small soldier wearing ordinary leather armor wielded a brick crazily, while a luxurious young man held a curved knife desperately resisting. The dark energy was surging, but everyone failed to notice that the "harassed" girl had quietly retreated into the crowd.

  "I want to leave!"

  Things have come to this, if Wu Ya lets this suspicious girl get away, wouldn't he be wasting his efforts and getting a scolding for nothing? In the midst of the fight, he was constantly keeping an eye on this suspicious girl. Seeing that she had already slipped into the crowd, he quickly let go of this "hero" and rushed over, but the "hero" was stubborn and wouldn't let him off so easily!

  "You damned thing, I'm going to kill you."

  "The hero" is now a second-year student at Beidou Academy. With new students all over the city, he's become an upperclassman. He can't just keep a low profile; when he does show his face, he has to make it count and show off the demeanor of an upperclassman. That way, when he returns to school, he'll have something to brag about.

  Now he's being pressed down by a small soldier at the city gate, how can he bear this suffocation?

  In an instant, he had forgotten that he was a "hero", now only wanting to teach this little soldier a lesson and save face, the curved knife in his hand flew out, like a bright moon cutting towards Wu Ya.

  Wu Ya stared intently as the girl merged into the crowd, but he couldn't catch up. If he didn't make any moves, his fate would be to get hit by the incoming curved knife. He didn't hold out much hope for the layer of leather armor on him, so he could only grip the black brick in his hand and smash it towards the flying curved knife, not caring what happened to the knife. Wu Ya took advantage of the momentum to charge into the crowd.

  The onlookers were also startled by Wu Yue's ferocity and made way for him, but unfortunately the girl had already disappeared, Wu Yue chased after her for a long distance but couldn't see her figure anywhere, his heart sank suddenly.

  "Go die."

  Just as Wu Ya was looking around with a gloomy face, the "hero" behind him rushed up again, his body leaping high into the air. The curved knife on his back emitted waves of dark energy that slashed down towards Wu Ya's shoulder. Wu Ya twitched the corner of his mouth and threw the black brick directly backwards, heavily smashing it onto the "hero"'s skull. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and with a loud "ahh", the hero fell to the ground.

  "Ah, murder! Murder! Soldiers are killing people in the streets!"

  In an instant, the onlookers shouted loudly, and many new and old students of Beidou Academy surrounded Wu Yue, ready to take action, but Wu Yue just said a sentence lightly and everyone shifted their target.

  "He's not dead yet, if you don't go and save him because of 'upholding justice on behalf of Heaven', then he really will be dead."

  "Ah..."

  Upon hearing Wu Ya's words, they all rushed to rescue people in a flurry of activity.

  "What happened?"

  Just then, the sound of horseshoes appeared, a team of silver-glinting cavalry rushed over, and the crowd immediately erupted in a commotion. A handsome man riding a white horse stepped forward and asked loudly.

  "This is... the Beidou Escort Squadron."

  "Hurry up and tell them, they are not ordinary soldiers, but trustworthy official cavalrymen, all of whom possess the Body-Entering Mystic Soldiers. I don't know how many good deeds they have done for Beidou City."

  "Uh-huh, Beidou Jiwei-sama, it's like this."

  Soon, many people told the story. Of course, the process was that Wu Ya used his power to take advantage of the young girl, but the heroic young man intervened and was knocked unconscious by the brutal city guards, and now his life or death is unknown.

  "Are you a garrison soldier? Someone from the Ministry of Defense?"

  Beidou Knight dismounted and took a look at the seriously injured "Young Hero", then waved his hand indifferently to let people take him for treatment. Then he fell on Wuyue's body, without waiting for Wuyue to respond, and ordered: "Take him down!"

  "Members of the Beidou Riders, I think you'd better hurry up and investigate that girl. Otherwise, if anything happens, you'll be responsible too." Wu Yue surprisingly stretched out his hands to let them bind him, kindly reminding them.

  "The little garrison soldier is not even qualified to talk to me, take him away."

  He shrugged and was taken away, what else could he do?

  He is now just a small soldier, let alone this world, even in Beidou City, he is not even fart, being taken away is good, at least in the future that girl really does something, has nothing to do with him, and may even be rewarded.

  As for what would happen after being taken away, he didn't worry about it at all.

  After two months of understanding, he knew that his superior was a straightforward and unpretentious person who would even protect him from injustice. With the internal power struggles within the Beidou City forces, once this superior learned about what had happened, he would definitely be safe.

  It's precisely because of this that Wu Ya won't hesitate to give that "hero" a ruthless slap.

  Just as Wu Ya was being taken away, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at him from a corner, and the sound of gnashing teeth could be heard, as if they wanted to grind Wu Ya into dust between their teeth.

  ——

  "Are you sure there's something wrong with that girl?"

  "Yes, General Benfang, I can assure you that even if I wasn't certain, I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't lay a hand on her or make any indecent advances. All I did was ask her to take out the thing wrapped around her waist and show it to me, which doesn't violate the city defense troops' regulations. But she started yelling 'indecent assault' first, and then some people took it upon themselves to play hero and rescue the damsel in distress. I had no choice but to subdue the girl; if I hadn't, she would have taken advantage of the situation and escaped, just like she has now!"

  As expected, when Wu Ya was taken back and reported the matter to his big BOSS, that superior asked a few questions, especially after learning that the girl had suddenly disappeared without a trace, he personally came over to untie Wu Ya without hesitation.

  This is a middle-aged man, with an aura of unsmiling intimidation, his true strength immeasurable, coldly staring at the Beidou Riders who brought Wu Yue over. The Beidou soldier guarding the gate said: "You people didn't even understand what happened and yet you've already taken my person away, very good, pray that nothing has happened, otherwise you'll be the ones explaining to the City Master, and as for that 'hero', I won't pursue him this time because of his injuries, but if something really happens, don't blame me for not being polite."

  The people of the Beidou Riding Squad also knew that things were probably really problematic, after all, the girl had disappeared, but they couldn't afford to lose momentum, so they gritted their teeth and took action against Wu Ya, who was in charge of negotiating with them.

  The General of the Garrison seemed to have heard enough, and said: "My soldiers also did something wrong, let's punish him for five days without duty, deduct half a month's salary, that's it. I hope nothing happens during the opening of Beidou Academy and the auction."
