The Director's Order, Kill Without Mercy!

At the border town, Gaoyang County, of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The escort leader, Wu Sandao, said, "Lord Zhuang, Gaoyang County is not far ahead. This is the only county city within 100 miles. It's already late, so we should rest in the county city for a night and continue to escort the goods tomorrow."

Upon hearing the former's words, the wealthy merchant, Zhuang Ping, was about to say something when a voice suddenly came from the forest.

"If I were you, I would turn around and head back from where you came now. This is because Gaoyang County is no longer a place you can go to."

"Who are you?"

Wu Sandao instantly turned his head, then pulled out a blade engraved with a ghost head at his waist and assumed an attacking posture.

He was not the only one. The 30 escorts of the entire caravan had also drawn their weapons and had serious looks on their faces.
