Under the leadership of Long Qie, the members of Sky Net finally broke out of the encirclement of the Zhuge Crossbows, fleeing awkwardly towards the dense forest beyond.
The crossbowmen had their courage shattered and did not pursue.
Long Qie also breathed a sigh of relief and continued to run forward until half an hour later, when he finally stopped.
He turned to look at the people around him, first stunned, and then a look of sorrow and anger appeared in his eyes. The recent volley from the Zhuge Crossbows had left Sky Net with only about thirty people remaining!
How could one describe the scale of this loss as anything but horrific?
"It's my fault! I was too reckless. If it weren't for my leading you headfirst into Gourd Valley, we wouldn't have fallen into Hozon's trap and suffered such heavy casualties."
Long Qie let out a mournful sigh.
A pair of tiger-like eyes brimmed with rolling tears!
This loss was truly devastating!
