Chapter 343: Blood in the Night

The village of Nado is a small village nestled on the side of the Beamon Empire in the Central Plains.

At this moment, not far from the village of Nado, a group of human soldiers dressed in the standard armor of the Byzantine Empire quietly came here.

Although the number of Byzantine soldiers was not large, only about two hundred, the leading officer was a colonel officer.

This colonel officer looked very young, about early twenties, and the example of being promoted to the rank of colonel at such an age cannot be said to be absent in the Byzantine Imperial Army, but it is absolutely rare.

And to become a high-ranking officer at such a young age, such a person can usually only be the son of a great noble family in Byzantium. And the purpose of their coming to the army is often just gilding.

However, it is different from the young aristocratic officers who usually come purely for gilding, often embroidered pillows. This young colonel, who led more than 200 Byzantine soldiers into the territory of the Bimon Empire, his face was full of murder, and his eyes were extremely cold, and he was obviously a warrior who had experienced real battles.

In fact, if it comes to his background, he can barely step into the ranks of the nobility of the Byzantine Empire. Because his father was once a baron in the Byzantine Empire with a barren fiefdom. Of course, compared to those big nobles, his father was actually only a country lord, not worth mentioning at all.

In addition, his family path has long been in the middle. Now he can no longer be regarded as a nobleman.

The young Byzantine colonel's officer was Daniels Knoch.

Compared with when he was in the northern steppes three years ago, Daniels's temperament has changed a lot, and he has become cold and gloomy again, just like when his personality changed drastically when he fell from the most dazzling student of Augustus College to the clouds and became a criminal who attempted rape.

Three years ago, when Daniels used the magic crystal stone he secretly carried to reflect the video and audio picture of Francis, the leader of the Red Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment, and the flame dragon Doragni, the leader of the Dragon Worshipper, in collusion with the Yama Dar Sect on the top of the Zanmodaya's Snow Peak in the northern grassland, he immediately left the northern grassland and rushed back to Cataloland, the imperial capital of the Byzantine Empire, and handed over the magic crystal stone to his teacher Urban.

Urban finally had the evidence to bring down Francis once and for all.

However, when the overjoyed Urban was about to present the evidence to the Byzantine Imperial Army, Francis openly raised the flag against it.

The news that this former general of the Byzantine Empire led the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Mercenary Regiment he created to officially betray the Byzantine Empire came back.

The so-called evidence in Urban's hands suddenly became useless.

Although the hard-fought evidence that Daniels had worked so hard to obtain did not work, Urban was determined to keep his promise and try to clear Daniels's name.

However, the fact that Daniels was accepted as a disciple by Urban and that he had been sentenced to exile was discovered by Urban's political enemies.

As a result, with the obstruction of Urban's political opponents, Daniels was not only not cleared, but was also re-imprisoned and tortured.

Urban's political opponents are trying to use Daniels as a breakthrough to attack Urban.

Although in the end, with the full rescue of Urban, Daniels was rescued from prison. But Daniels, who suffered all kinds of humiliation and inhuman abuse in prison, secretly harbored a grudge against Urban in his heart. Because he knew that it was because of Urban that he had suffered from the fish in the pond.

After Urban rescued Daniels from prison, he still failed to clear Daniels' name. Daniels's exile was still executed.

However, thanks to Urban's efforts, Daniels was not sent to the northern front, where fierce battles were breaking out with the Snow Tribes, but went to the western frontier where the Byzantine Empire and the Bimon Empire were relatively stable at the time.

Daniels was dealt another blow by his encounter in Catalan City, and he eventually took advantage of the situation and left Catalan City in disgrace.

After this change, Daniels' personality became cynical again.

He hated God for being unfair to him, and he hated fate for playing a joke on him.

And after coming to the western frontier of the Byzantine Empire, he was originally able to get a good position in the western garrison by virtue of his cultivation as an eighth-level peak swordsman at this time, coupled with Urban's care. However, surprisingly, Daniels took the initiative to enter the most dangerous and feared unit of the Western Legion, the Blood of the Night.

During the period when there were no large-scale wars between the Bimon Empire and the Byzantine Empire, the two sides fought in secret secretly, and from time to time each other would send troops into each other's borders to wash each other's villages or assassinate military and political officials in each other's border cities. Among them, on the side of the Byzantine Empire, the troops who did this kind of work were the 'Blood of the Night'.

The origin of the name 'Blood of the Night' is that the style of this army is not above board, hence the word 'Night'. In addition, the reason why this army was originally established was also because the orcs took the lead in sending a small force into the borders of the Byzantine Empire to loot and slaughter, which was called 'Fighting the Grass Valley', and the Byzantine Empire wanted to make the orcs pay for their blood debts, so they named this force 'Blood of the Night'.

Due to the high risk of the Blood's mission and the nature of the Blood's work, the composition of the Blood of the Night is very complex, and most of them are criminals and prisoners who have been sentenced to the army.

After Daniels entered the 'Blood of the Night', he started from a lowest-level soldier, and every time he went out on a mission, he must fight to the front, and in just three years, he was promoted to the rank of colonel because of his accumulated military merits, and became the leader of the 'Blood of the Night' unit.

Daniels fell in love with the days of licking blood from the knife edge. He relied on going deep into the Beamon Empire again and again to carry out bloody massacres or assassinations, numbing himself with killing and blood.

Today, Daniels once again entered the territory of the Orcs with his men, intending to slaughter the village of Nado in front of him, in retaliation for the sacking of a village in Byzantium by an orc army a few days ago.

Daniels drew the long sword at his waist and pointed forward, and the more than two hundred 'Blood of the Night' warriors under his command immediately pounced on Nado Village with murderous vigour.
