Chapter 254 Is it worth it?
In the dead of night, the orcs in the camp were fast asleep when the faint sounds of battle disturbed their peaceful dreams.

In her daze, Shen Tang thought she was having nightmares due to recent neurasthenia, but the bombardment grew louder and louder, making it hard to ignore.

Jialan, who was standing nearby, was also woken up. He got up and scratched his messy brown hair, his handsome face darkening. He muttered under his breath, "What the hell is going on? Have those rebels come back again?"

Shen Li was also woken up by the noise.

He narrowed his long, shimmering fox eyes, glanced indifferently outside, and silently wrapped the female in his arms even tighter with his bushy fox tail, the tip of the tail subtly covering her ears.

Unfortunately, the commotion was too great.

Shen Tang was still woken up by the noise.

She broke free from the fluffy, fiery red sea of ​​clouds, put on her shoes and coat, and hurriedly stepped out of the tent. "What happened outside?"

Xiao Jin and Lu Xiao had already woken up.

After Lu Xiao led a squadron of eagle beasts to patrol the skies, he landed, transformed into human form, and came over to report, "My lady, a battle has broken out ten kilometers outside the city. The fighting is fierce, and the casualties are heavy."

"Outside the city?" Shen Tang's face was grim, his voice cold and deep. "Who led people out of the city? Didn't I say to observe the situation and not to leave the city without permission?"

The beastmen looked at each other in bewilderment, remaining completely silent; they had no idea either.

Suddenly, a tall, thin orc stepped forward from the crowd and hesitated, saying, "I... when I went out to relieve myself in the middle of the night, I think I bumped into Young Master Yun Han leading a group out. I was a bit groggy at the time, so I'm not sure if I saw it wrong..."

Shen Tang's alarm blared, and he immediately ordered someone to summon Yun Han, only to find that Yun Han's tent was already empty.

The entire unit he led had also vanished without a trace!

Without even reporting it, he actually led his troops out of the city on his own?!

That's incredibly reckless! That's utterly absurd!

Soon, another eagle landed and reported, "Your Highness, the rebels' counterattack is fierce, they are ambushing and bombing from all sides, the troops outside the city are about to be overwhelmed, someone has sent a signal flare to provide support, please send reinforcements immediately!"

Shen Tang was shocked: Yun Han was at least a ninth-level combatant, and the team he took away was an elite force that he had personally trained. No matter how reckless he was, he couldn't be so stupid as to throw his life away for nothing. How could he be so easily annihilated?

Without time to think, Shen Tang quickly gathered her men, climbed onto Lu Xiao's back, and set off out of the city to provide support overnight.

From afar, she could see the flames of war raging outside the city; upon closer inspection, it was even more terrifying!
On the battlefield, countless corpses lay scattered about.

There were the bodies of rebels, and also many bodies of the guards.

The remaining rebel forces are far larger than they imagined!
Perhaps the rebels didn't deploy their full force from the start, but instead kept their main force hidden, intending to ambush them from behind.

Yun Han led his troops out of the city tonight, only to run into this main force that was the last to be deployed. The enemy's strength was far outnumbered, and they were ambushed in advance, suffering heavy losses! The casualties were terrible!

In the distance, Yun Han was severely injured; his right hand was blown apart and covered in blood, so badly that he couldn't even hold his ice sword.

A high-ranking orc opened its claws and charged at him with lightning speed.

"Young Master, be careful!" Lin Yu roared, transforming into beast form and leaping forward to block the fatal blow for him.

His body was flung several meters away like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a tree trunk, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and passing out.

Yun Han's eyes were bloodshot, filled with extreme grief and indignation. He gripped his blood-stained ice sword in his left hand and fought desperately to kill the orc.

Unfortunately, he lost an arm, which greatly reduced his strength and slowed his movements. He was soon surrounded and attacked by several other high-level orcs.

Outnumbered, he was struck again in the abdomen.

"Bang!" Yun Han knelt on one knee, his long sword piercing the ground. Blood flowed down his arm and the icy blade, staining the scorched earth red.

He watched helplessly as a bear-like beast grabbed Lin Yu, attempting to tear his wings in two. Overwhelmed with grief and anger, he was too powerless to rush over.

A burr of earth pierced through the ground, piercing the bear's body and tearing it in two.

Yun Han looked at Shen Tang, who was falling from the sky, in shock. He held his breath and thought he was dreaming, but the screams in his ears were real!
Shen Tang led his troops into the battlefield.

Xiao Jin and his men also led their teams in all directions, engaging in fierce battles with the rebels. The fighting was intense and the situation was getting more and more heated!
After Shen Tang and her men finished clearing out the nearby enemy troops, she turned to look at Yun Han, who was lying on the ground in a disheveled state not far away. Her eyes were as cold as ice, and she was furious. "Didn't I tell you not to leave the city? Why didn't you even give me a heads-up, and insisted on leading the team out of the city in the middle of the night!"

Yun Han used his sword to support himself on one hand, stood up unsteadily, and stubbornly insisted, "...I will take responsibility for my own actions, and you have no need to meddle!"

"One person does the deed, and one person takes the blame?"

Shen Tang sneered, glancing at the fallen corpses and the unconscious Lin Yu not far away. Pointing at them, she coldly questioned, "Is this what you mean by 'one person does the deed, one person takes the blame'? Do you know how many innocent soldiers died tragically in tonight's operation!"

Shen Tang questioned, "I know you want to take this opportunity to destroy the rebels' stronghold and rescue Shen Qingli, but for her sake, you've even thrown away your brain? You've ruined yourself like this, and these brothers who have risked their lives with you for so many years are dying in vain. Is it really worth it?"

The field medic was helping the severely wounded and unconscious Rin and the others out of the war zone.

If they hadn't arrived to provide support tonight, Lin Yu and the others would all have died here!

Yun Han looked at the heavily injured Lin Yu and the others, remaining silent, a hint of struggle and pain flashing in his eyes.

As the young master raised by the Yun family, he was not a reckless man who had never been on the battlefield. How could he not know how rash and dangerous tonight's operation was, and that a slight mistake could cost him his life!

But tonight is the only chance to rescue Shen Qingli. If the rebels really retreat, they really won't be able to save her.

Yun Han's breathing was heavy, and he struggled to speak, "Qing Li is my partner, I must save her!"

Shen Tang was so angry she almost laughed. To be fair, Yun Han truly lived up to his reputation as the female lead's loyal servant in the harem; he was incredibly devoted to her, even risking his life to save her.

But Yunhan had no idea that Shen Qingli didn't need him to save her.

He really is—

It's both laughable and pathetic.

Shen Tang was really curious about how painful and devastating it would be for Yun Han to find out that Shen Qingli had been having an affair with the rebel leader!
"Good, good, well said." Shen Tang clapped her hands. "You are truly loyal and affectionate. I hope that one day you will not regret everything you said and did tonight."

Hearing her sarcastic words, Yun Han didn't understand what she meant, but frowned and said coldly, "I will never regret it."

If he were to actually watch Qingli be taken away by the rebels, that would be the most regrettable and painful thing in his life.

Hopeless!

Shen Tang took a deep breath, too lazy to persuade him anymore, and walked towards him.

Seeing her approach, Yun Han took a half-step back with a sullen face. He had thought Shen Tang was going to use this opportunity to mock him again, but he didn't expect her to stop in front of him.
He took out medicine for healing and bandaging from his spatial storage and said emotionlessly, "Why are you hiding? I'll heal you."

Yun Han's face flashed with shock, his thin lips pressed into a cold, hard line as he said coldly, "I've said it before, I don't need your help. You don't need to pretend to be helpful to me!"

 Here it is!
