Chapter 980: The Final Kill
Rahul didn't have time to think too much and threw away his blue robe.
It’s not that he doesn’t want someone else to be a scapegoat, but the situation doesn’t allow it.
As Brahmins, although they have now fallen under the monarchy, the class nature of the Brahmins remains a class nature.
It remains the social system that maintains the stability of the Kushan Empire.
Therefore, Brahmins are still a symbol of aristocracy, but the previous concept is no longer repeated. Instead, it has been adapted to emphasize merit above all else, which is a bit like the system of enfeoffment and appointment of ministers in the Han Dynasty.
Military merit is the best way to get rid of class stratification.
Therefore, Brahmins are still glorious, and only glorious Brahmins can inspire the desire of other people at the bottom to climb up.
So blue, which is also called Brahman blue in Kushan, even in such an emergency situation, Rahul absolutely cannot give the blue robe to others, he can only discard the blue robe.
"The one wearing soft armor is Rahul!" Ma Chao saw Rahul discarding his blue robe and once again found Rahul's characteristics.
Rahul couldn't unlock the software for a while, so he had to use his sword to remove the armor.
Ma Chao was so angry that his teeth were itching. The BMWs under Rahul's command were not slow, and the personal guards around Rahul were also fearless guards, forming a barrier that could not be avoided.
The distance between Ma Chao and Rahul was getting bigger and bigger! But Ma Chao did not give up.
"The one with the beard is Rahul! Kill Rahul and you will be promoted!" Ma Chao picked up a lance and threw it directly at Rahul.
But several of Rahul's bodyguards jumped up and charged at the lances. One lance pierced two or three people before finally running out of strength and falling down.
Feeling threatened, Rahul cut off his beard with a sword without saying a word, and then tore off a piece of his clothes to wrap his head.
Are you kidding? He can't die. Even if everyone dies, he can't die now.
Once he dies, the entire southern Kushan Empire will truly fall under the iron hoof of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty will be able to ravage it however it wants.
By the time Arvind comes from the north to reorganize his troops, it will be too late and he might even lose part of the prime areas.
By then, the Han Dynasty would inevitably shrink its offensive momentum due to its long supply lines. The Kushans would certainly have a chance to catch their breath, but they would really be on the edge of a cliff.
They were clearly about to take off, but a great war broke out with the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, he absolutely cannot die. No matter how embarrassing it is, he cannot die now. He must go back alive.
Reorganize the troops, stop the Han Dynasty outside the key areas, and let the Kushans preserve their last breath of vitality. Only in this way will there be a chance to turn the tables.
Once the Han Dynasty captured the core areas, they would be swallowed by the Kushans and the pressure would be relieved. The Kushans would not even have a chance to breathe and would inevitably be defeated by the Han Dynasty's army at Peshawar.
So Rahul chose the most shameful way to live, abandoning everything that could prove his identity.
"Ahhh! The one with the brain is Rahul!" Watching Rahul blending into the crowd and losing his features, Ma Chao was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. Is the credit he had earned just to be lost like that?
"Give it to me!"
Although Sharifei under Ma Chao's command was also a divine horse, the distance between the two sides did not narrow at all in the current situation, which made Ma Chao very angry. He did not care about anything else and directly took out his big yellow bow, took out the wolf tooth arrow and shot an arrow in the direction of Rahul.
Rahul relied on his unique ability of clairvoyance to dodge the arrow when it was about to hit him.
However, a large number of arrows were shot at Ma Chao from behind, as if he would not be satisfied unless he was killed today.
"Donor, why are you so angry?" Brahma suddenly appeared and smashed Huashan towards Ma Chao with one move.
Ma Chao dropped the bow and arrow in his hand, took the attack head-on, and found that the old man in front of him was actually also a top master.
At their current position, the suppressing effect of the cloud gas is already very weak, which means that even a top master is already strong enough to face an elite legion.
As for Rahul, if Ma Chao was not mistaken, he should have been hit by an arrow, but just by looking at the other party's full of energy when running away, Ma Chao knew that he was still a long way from killing that guy.
If he had known this, he would have put some poison on the arrow, damn bastard.
"Die, you bastard!"
Seeing Rahul was about to disappear from his sight, Ma Chao went berserk.
Rahul can't be caught today, so I'll kill you to make up the number. If you like to stand out so much, then go to hell.
Ma Chao directly mobilized the cloud energy of his cavalry and condensed a huge spear to stab towards Brahma.
"Hahahaha, Ma Mengqi, you're still a little short after all. This credit should be taken by me, Huang Hansheng!"
Relying on beyond visual range, Huang Zhong easily found Rahul's trail, but Ma Chao was chasing him, so he was embarrassed to directly take the kill.
If he shoots this arrow, the Ma family and the Huang family may become enemies for life from now on. Ruining someone's future is like killing his parents.
He is old, there is no need for him to bring a little pervert into the lives of his children.
Ma Chao can be counted as one of the younger generation. Except for Sun Ce, most others cannot compare with him. Even Guan Ping is far behind Ma Chao.
But now Ma Chao has been held back by someone, so it is his turn to take advantage of this opportunity.
He slowly pulled out a short spear made of iron from his back and placed it on his bowstring. Countless internal energy was focused on it, but he did not reveal the slightest bit of coercion.
Huang Zhong then poured all his will into it and pulled it open suddenly.
He can also combine the three elements of essence, energy and spirit into one. Even though his method is different from Zhang Fei's, it is the same. In the absence of any interference, the power of his arrow will surpass everything.
If Lu Bu was with Rahul, he could stop him. People like Zhao Yun, Guan Yu and Dian Wei could also stop him if they were willing to risk their lives.
The rest of the realm breakers might have died directly from this sneak attack of arrows.
Block this arrow for others? Not possible
"Although I am old, my arrows are still sharp!"
As he spoke, Huang Zhong released the bowstring, and the arrow was about to pierce Rahul's body like a meteor.
"Crack!" Huang Zhong was so excited that the bow in his hand was deformed and he couldn't help but slam it to the ground.
"What's the use of this arrow for me!" Huang Zhong was so angry when he saw Rahul running so fast that he threw the bow and arrow to the ground.
His arrow was blocked by someone. Maudgalyayana used his body to take the arrow for Rahul, and then relied on his divine will to directly negate the near-fatal damage.
Huang Zhong's mood now is almost the same as Ma Chao's. Both of them are so angry that they want to vomit blood.
Shaking his head, Huang Zhong passed the news back to Zhuge Liang.
"He even escaped?" Fa Zheng was stunned, a little bit unbelievable. Rahul was so lucky. Zhuge Liang almost used three killing moves, but he still escaped?
"My luck is a bit bad!" Pang Tong sighed. Although they won a great victory, Rahul was not dead, which meant that there were still tough battles to fight.
"What can I do about this fate?" Liu Bei was also helpless. He had never expected such a result.
Maudgalyayana and Mahavairocana were really beyond their intelligence. A slight negligence led to the other party's escape.
"Does Kong Ming have any other arrangements?" Xu Shu suddenly frowned and looked at Zhuge Liang who was leisurely and contented.
"Rahul will definitely die!" Zhuge Liang was full of wisdom and confidence was written all over his face.
“But, all our generals are on the battlefield. Who can take Rahul’s head?” Liu Bei was puzzled. He also knew military affairs.
He knew exactly how many cards their army had in their hands. Looking around, almost all the generals were on the battlefield. So who did Zhuge Liang deploy for the final decisive move?
"Hahaha, Lord Xuande, have you forgotten that there is another person who is worthy of your trust?" Zhuge Liang laughed and pointed into the distance.
"Liang believes in him and won't let us down!"
"Then let's wait and see!" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows. Zhuge Liang was so confident, so he would just wait and see.
Xu Shu and others also frowned. They couldn't think of who Zhuge Liang had entrusted the last line of defense to.
Could it be a newly discovered powerful general?
But it's not like they didn't get any news at all. Looking at Zhuge Liang's confident expression, it doesn't seem like he was faking it at all. Who could it be?
"Han Dynasty! After all, we were just one step behind!" Rahul laughed, and he still survived.
"You are so lucky!" Maudgalyayana couldn't help but sigh. As soon as he met up with Rahul, he saw Huang Zhong's fatal arrow.
If he had really been hit by that arrow, ten Rahuls would have been dead, and even he almost didn't survive.
He still has lingering fears. The other party used the legion's cloud energy and integrated it into his own will. It is simply a dream for them to stop him with just their few remaining soldiers.
If he hadn't relied on God's power to break the world and come back to life, he would have been dead. It must be said that Brahma's will is still useful in the land of Kushan.
"I have basically lost my fighting ability now, so just pray that there won't be any robbers on the road!" Maudgalyayana said with a faint smile.
Even though he had a near-death experience he still needed a little refresher.
"The sword in my hand is not at all bad!" Rahul said with equal ease, even the pain in his brain was alleviated a lot.
“Rahul, now that you are here, don’t leave!”
Rahul's heart sank instantly as a group of densely packed figures appeared in front of them.
"Surrender, the Han Dynasty is willing to recruit you with the title of Marquis!"
"Who are you to make the decision?" Rahul stalled for time, hoping for a miracle to happen.
"I am Liu Chan, a relative of the Han Dynasty, and my father is Liu Xuande, Marquis of Shu!" Liu Chan bowed calmly.
He didn't expect that he would actually wait for Rahul, and that Rahul would actually be able to break through the siege, escape the fatal attack, and come in front of him.
"Liu? A relative of the Han royal family? You really think highly of me, Rahul!" Rahul's heart grew heavier. With no way to escape, they actually ran headfirst into the encirclement.
Rahul covered his aching head. He was too careless. The pain robbed him of his sharpness. He made the most unforgivable mistake, and the price seemed to be his life.
There were Han soldiers everywhere, and they were super elite. For the two men who were at their wit's end, this was a sure kill.
"Surrender, both of you! You have no chance to leave!" Liu Chan led more than a thousand people to surround the two men.
"You can't escape!" Maudgalyayana said in a deep voice.
Surrounding them were five hundred soldiers from the Shesheng Camp, elite veterans, and now they had locked onto them.
If it was his prime, he could have tried to get Rahul out.
But now...he can't protect himself either!
"Defeated." Rahul said softly. When he was only one step away from escape, Liu Chan appeared.
"Rahul is willing to surrender! But please let me see the commander of the Han army!"
Rahul cupped his hands. He didn't really want to surrender, but he was determined to die.
But he wanted to meet Zhuge Liang, the young man who defeated him head-on and left him with several fatal blows.
He wanted to meet the real top leaders of the Han Dynasty and see with his own eyes where the Kushans had lost.
"Please !" Liu Chan waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward and tied up the two men.
Maudgalyayana did not resist, as resistance was futile. Five hundred powerful bows were pointed at him. If he moved, he would be seeking death.
He didn't know what Rahul was thinking, but he hoped that someone would come to rescue the place. Whether it was Oswin, Kusroyi, or Durga, they were all qualified to save people.
However, the miracle did not happen. Rahul and Maudgalyayana then noticed that Liu Chan was able to use his talent to hide his body and eliminate his own presence. This was also the reason why they had not noticed it before and had fallen into the encirclement.
"Delegate power! My talent as a monarch!" Liu Chan was very happy. After playing the pig and eating the tiger for so many years, he finally caught a super big fish.
When he and Zhuge Liang withdrew from the Roman Parthian battlefield, his talent was sublimated into this talent.
His monarch talent is very simple. He simply hangs himself on others and provides all his energy, mental strength, and recovery ability to the other party.
However, under Zhuge Liang's reverse operation, Zhuge Liang attached himself to Liu Chan, although only partially, and Liu Chan could also use the talents of others.
Xun You's talent made him the first choice, and Zhuge Liang also placed Liu Chan in the last place.
Liu Chan led a lone army of more than a thousand men deep behind enemy lines. Under normal circumstances, such a force would not be enough to fill the gaps in any Kushan corps, nor could it stop any of the enemy from breaking through.
But when everything was at a dead end, more than a thousand people were enough to carry out the final kill.
From the very beginning, Zhuge Liang never thought that he would lose. All his plans were based on the premise that he would win.
No, that’s not the case. It should be said that he made N sets of plans, and the current situation is in line with his plans.
If Rahul can defeat Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang will really have no backup plan.
He is not a god, and it is already a great achievement for him to be able to predict so far. If even Liu Chan failed, Zhuge Liang could only shake his head and swallow the imperfect fruits of victory.
Then we will seek to win the next war.
However, he finally calculated everything and became the complete winner.
