The woman's body was covered in whip marks and wounds, her clothes in tatters, exposing large areas of skin that were already turning a deep red from the cold.
The group of pursuers wielding longswords had grim expressions and said, "Don't let her escape, chase her down!"
Two groups, one chasing the other, rushed toward Cao Xing and the others.
Seeing this, Assam instantly drew his longsword, standing in front of Cao Xing.
Others also gripped their weapons one after another.
Renice and Eliza pulled their bowstrings, ready to fire.
However, Cao Xing waved his hand and said, "Hold on, don't make a move yet."
Upon receiving Cao Xing's order, the two archers remained in place.
Meanwhile, the woman had already arrived in front of them.
Seeing the tall Assam, she immediately fell to her knees with a 'thump.'
Clutching Assam's calf with a face full of pleading, she said, "Please, my lord, save me..."
