I Am the Ruler of All

Chapter 327

"No, this is no military exercise!" Paige was shocked as well. "These choppers come from the north and the south. It's where Cleapolis and Diosna's military districts are located! Prefectural military districts don't do military exercises together that much. This is no exercise." She gulped. "And only Diosna's main military district can dispatch attack aircrafts. General Ignatov is probably behind this!"

Serena asked, "But how did they know we're in danger?"

"Yeah, how did they—" Paige froze up. "Did Kingsley do this?" She just remembered Kingsley telling them that someone was on the way to save them. Did he send these aircrafts in?

Serena instinctively shook his head. "No way. I know Kingsley. He might have been gone for ten years, but there's no way he's this powerful."

Paige frowned. She wanted to figure things out, but the sound of a machine gun rattling off distracted her. The helicopters lowered their altitude, and the M134 Minigun attached to the cabin's door rained down a volley of bullets on the woods. The men nearest to the ladies were filled with lead in mere moments.

The hellish sight terrified Xanxus' lackeys. They ran like crazy in the opposite direction. Some ran on all fours, and some scurried off like mice. Some lost their shoes, but they didn't even care to take them back. The hunters had become the hunted. Just a moment ago, these men were trying to shoot Serena, but now they were running for their lives.

"W-What's going on? I thought she's just a random killer! What's the military doing here?" Pierre almost wet his pants. He looked bemused and terrified. He had no idea what was going on.

While Pierre was fearing for his life, the roar of an engine approached him, scaring the lackeys.

A dozen men huddled around Pierre fearfully. "What now, Pierre? I think we're in trouble."

"Yeah! They took out more than ten of us! What now?"

Pierre's lips were pale. He mustered all his strength to say, "We gotta survive, so run—"

Before he could finish, a few dozen military trucks had surrounded the woods, and a cloud of dust trailed behind them. A hundred armed warriors hopped out of the trucks and slammed the doors shut.

There were two regiment commanders among them, and they were the highest-ranked. They came from Diosna and Cleapolis' military district. Since this was the border, they arrived at the same time. They brought a regiment each with them, and the soldiers had surrounded the entire village.

Pierre and his lackeys were dumbfounded. They couldn't escape now that they were surrounded by armed soldiers.

"T-They look like soldiers, Pierre." A scar-faced man started crying in fear. "I don't think we can run away now."

"Stop crying." Pierre put his weapons down. "Just surrender. The military doesn't kill captives."

His lackeys threw their guns away as well, and they nodded. "Yeah, let's surrender! They won't kill us if we do that!" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yeah, I heard Qustia military doesn't torture their captives."

Everyone tossed their shoddy guns away and raised their hands to surrender.

"We surrender!" Pierre kneeled and shouted.

Paige and Serena finally stuck their heads out from behind the car. "We're saved, Serena!" Paige stood up, looking excited. "They're here for us!"

Serena took a deep breath and slowly stood up as well. She was in disbelief. "We actually got out of this alive? What's going on?"

"Yeah, I have the same question too." Paige was curious as well.
