Chapter 209: Encountering a Ghost

In an instant, Zuo Yongjun and his men were surrounded by fog from all directions, with visibility plummeting rapidly.

At the same time, the temperature of the surrounding space also dropped.

White frost began to form on the grass and leaves on the ground, as the chilly air spread silently and incessantly.

"Form up!"

Zuo Yongjun realized the situation was grim and immediately shouted in a deep voice, "Repel the enemy!"

The ten well-trained Imperial Guards, without a second thought, took the Firearm Machine Crossbows from their backs, loaded the arrows with practiced ease, and took up a defensive formation.

Some members of the Imperial Guard Bureau were recruited from among elite troops, while others were trained internally.

No matter their origin, they all possessed rich combat experience and displayed extreme discipline.
