Chapter 356: First Encounter

The palace where these concubines lived surrounded the emperor's dormitory in the center, forming a trend of stars holding the moon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis architectural style is similar to the geographical feng shui pattern of China. If it weren't for the fact that there had been no foreign trade and exchanges between Japan and the Great Qin Empire at this time, it would have been doubtful that Japan's architectural concept had been copied from China.

Of course, there is a world of difference between the sleeping palace where the Japanese emperor lived and the luxurious dormitory of the monarch of the Great Qin Empire, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng. After all, the entire territory of Japan is only so large, and the level of architecture is limited, so the buildings built cannot be compared with the buildings of the Great Qin Empire.

Except for the dormitory where the emperor lived, the palaces where the other concubines lived in the surrounding area were not as good as the mansions where some princes and generals of the Great Qin Empire lived. There is no way, this has to do with the level of construction in Japan, and it can't be forced.

The Soul Eaters, who had successfully infiltrated the palace, followed the route set up before, and marched towards the predetermined route in an orderly manner. Because they had done their homework and worked hard before, they did not encounter the palace guards who had been patrolling the route this time.

Without the obstruction and interference of the palace guards, they can also freely shuttle back and forth in the imperial palace where the emperor lives.

Through a long corridor, they passed through the palace where a row of concubines lived in front of the emperor's dormitory. However, due to the darkness of the night, they could not see the whole picture of the entire palace when they came to the front of the emperor's dormitory.

"Wait here first, and I'll go and find out what's ahead."

Because this has penetrated into the innermost area of the entire palace hall, the number of palace guards patrolling naturally increases. In addition, there are not only open whistles that can be seen by the eye, but also many hidden whistles hidden in the dark.

As the saying goes: "The open whistle is easy to dodge, and the dark whistle is difficult to defend", if all the assessment members act together, then the exposed target will inevitably be too obvious. When the time comes, not to mention the dark sentinels hiding in the darkness and waiting for an opportunity, even the palace guards who patrol normally will be able to find their traces.

The abduction of the emperor of Japan was a very arduous and epochal operation, and the fact that the operation took place on the Japanese mainland, undoubtedly added another difficulty to the operation.

Therefore, in order for the hijacking plan to succeed in one fell swoop, their tracks must be kept secret at all times, and no leaks can be leaked. Otherwise, not only would the plan to kidnap the emperor come to naught in an instant, but even they themselves would become turtles in an urn to be slaughtered.

It's not their turf, it's their home turf. If it is discovered, tens of thousands of soldiers will be surrounded in an instant, not to mention that they will have the laser guns distributed by Wu Fei, even if they have laser cannons, they will not be of much use.

Two fists are hard to beat four feet! How many pairs of fists and how many feet do tens of thousands of soldiers have? Even if one pokes them in the finger, they have to be poked and crippled.

So, even though they are now only one step away from success, they still have to act with extreme caution.

"Yes, Captain"!

After receiving the command of Soul Eater, the other members of the assessment team all curled up into a dark shadow reflected by the tall city wall. From a distance, you can't tell that there are so many people hiding in the shadows.

After instructing the rest of the assessment members, Soul Eater took advantage of the darkness of the night to emerge from the shadow reflected by the high wall, and began to march in the direction of the Emperor's dormitory.

At the moment when one of his feet had just stepped into the corridor, a sword shadow emitting a cold light suddenly flashed in the dark night. This sword shadow struck directly towards the throat of the soul devourer with lightning speed, seeing that this formation was the determination of the opponent to kill with one blow, leaving no trace of life.

Bite~

In the first assessment process, the Soul Eater, who broke through the bottleneck of strength by fighting to the death with the giant python, felt the strong killing intent from the air before the opponent's heavy attack arrived.

So, with his instinctive reaction, he drew the sword of the accessory at his waist almost instantly, and collided with the sword shadow that was attacking him. With a crisp metal clash, the swords held by both sides collided and engaged fiercely.

The strength of both sides is not bad, so after a seemingly understatement of the competition, both sides have a clear understanding of their respective strengths. After the opponent's attack failed, he quickly disappeared into the darkness and lost his trace. And Soul Eater was more cautious in the next action due to the attack just now.

His traces had just been discovered by the other party, so the plan to infiltrate the emperor's dormitory could only be canceled temporarily. He knew that the other party's temporary retreat was not really evacuating, but was observing his tracks in some unknown corner. Therefore, in order to confuse the other party's audio-visual view, he circled around the entire huge palace in the next time, and only after making sure that he had thrown off the other party did he return to the same place to meet with the other assessment members.

"Captain"!

Seeing the return of the Soul Eater, the assessment members who had been waiting in place shouted softly.

"Well, tonight's plan of action may have to be cancelled."

Looking at everyone's look full of anticipation, Soul Eater said with a heavy face.

"Captain, what's wrong"?

Hearing him say this, everyone instantly felt as if they were petrified.

"When I entered the perimeter of the palace where the Emperor of Japan lived, I was discovered by a guard hiding in the dark. I fought him for a while and found that his strength was not below mine, so I gave up on my plan to continue infiltrating and instead circled the palace to get rid of his tailgating.

We don't know how many guards like this are hidden around us, and as soon as we approach the Emperor's dormitory, they will immediately spot them. When the time comes, it will inevitably attract a large number of palace guards. Not to mention kidnapping the emperor and leaving here, even we ourselves will not be able to get out of it smoothly."

"What"?

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be shocked by what he said.

The guards in this palace had the same strength as their captain Soul Eater, which they would never have imagined. Now the strength of the soul devouring is the highest among all the members participating in the assessment, and it belongs to a dozen people who will not fall behind in a group fight.

However, Soul Eater actually told them that the palace guard who had attacked him just now could actually fight with him on a par with him, regardless of victory or defeat. This time, it made all the assessment members a little uneasy.

They are well aware of the gap between themselves and Soul Eater, especially after their strength has been greatly improved, even if they go together, they may not be able to take any advantage. But now, a random enemy is so strong, how can they complete their assessment task?
