In the evenings after sunset, the weather is clear; The date was September 29, 1540; Clocks have only developed to a clockwork clock with only one hour hand to show the time, and a delicate but bulky seat clockspring clock cannot be carried with you at all times; The diver's watch that was carried with him when he was airlifted into the north of England a few years ago was no longer in use, in order to adapt to the era without revealing his special identity.

It is an automatic mechanical diver's watch developed by the supplier of Marathon military watches for the Navy and special forces. Small, lightweight, and non-sensitive, the combat experience is very comfortable. When worn, the oscillating weight in the watch continuously winds the watch due to the movement of the wrist and will never be damaged by non-use.

In the southeastern hinterland of the Yorkshire Highlands, 20 Duke's court guards and a vigilante light cavalry volunteer are about to embark on a night battle that combines sneak attacks, surprise attacks, and assassinations. After linking all the subjective and objective factors, Isabel Walton used the North Star, an important indicator of field activity, and then connected the polar star with the North Star, and calculated the time of the moment according to the law of the stars rising in the east and setting in the west.

After glancing at everyone's faces that were vaguely recognizable in the night, and seeing that everyone had no objections, she began to make a battle plan. Using a few small pebbles to lay out an operational sand table on the grass according to the layout of the camp of the bandit gang, he pointed to the roads and facilities in and out of the camp and whispered to the nearest seven or eight people: "This is the road in and out of the camp, this is the hut, stable, weapon and food storage point where they live, is there a problem?" ”

William Parr was most concerned about the second outpost, as he did not know how many longbowmen would be hiding in the trees to attack them. Buried his head and staring at the pebbles on the grass, he finally asked, "Your Excellency, what are you going to do with the thieves' longbowmen?" ”

Isabel knelt on one leg on the grass outside the sand table and pointed to the sand table, "Now, I have found out that they have set up guard posts on the roads in three directions: east, north and west. Judging by the size of the camp I saw, if I had attacked in the canopy of a tree to the north, I would have been able to kill the guards in the other two directions. ”

"Well, Your Excellency, what about the south?"

"There is no finding in the south for the time being. If we make it to the camp, I believe the southern outpost will not be difficult to kill. ”

John's eyes were fixed on a few pebbles on the ground, and he suddenly said, "Godmother, where does their leader live?" ”

Isabel shook her head, "Didn't find it. However, if we search each house one by one, we will find out. ”

After thinking about it, he asked, "Everyone must not make a noise after entering the camp, and all the thieves must be eliminated by assassination, can you do it?" ”

The few people around her smiled and nodded triumphantly, and when she saw that these people had no opinions, she stood up and looked at the other guards behind her, "Come to the front, and I will let William Parr tell you everything." ”

Then, John Neville, who was a hot-blooded boy and a bloodthirsty and cold-blooded butcher, was called to the side of everyone, "This operation is an assassination operation, can you do it?" ”

John looked squarely, blinked twice, and then nodded, "Godmother, I can do it, just with a dagger, right?" ”

"Well, if you meet a woman and a child, don't kill it."

"Godmother, this... You can't light torches when you enter the camp, and what if the child starts crying and alarms the others? ”

"Quietly walk to everyone's bed, see clearly, and then kill."

"Okay, I will."

Isabel glanced at the others, "I'll tell them later, don't kill women and children, kill all men." ”

———————————

Edmund's impromptu decision left several longbowmen peasants grumbling, but they had to climb a few large trees near the guard post because of his role as the chief's lieutenant and the importance of protecting the camp. Of course, it was impossible for a few longbowmen who had not slept enough to climb to the highest canopy, and most of them found a thick branch to sit on and continue to sleep halfway through.

According to Isabel's time from the North Star, it is about 11 o'clock in the evening. For four hours from sunset to now, Edmund didn't notice anything wrong, and after visiting the camp and guard posts again, he went to rest on his own. As he walked into the hut, Isabel and the others at the edge of the forest still didn't start moving.

She's dragging her feet, and she's going to wait until everyone in the camp is in a deep sleep. After asking everyone to go to the pond and paint their breastplates and faces with mud, they checked everyone's weapons again. Anything that can make a sound cannot be carried, only two weapons, one long and one short.

After about another hour, the 21-man assassination team walked about a mile from the edge of the forest, quietly came to the woods north of the camp, and began to crawl about 20 paces away from the camp. Although someone did not understand why he was going forward lying on his stomach on a layer of moss lichen, it was Isabel's order. Orders must be executed.

When she crawled to a distance of about 15 paces from the guard post, Isabel ordered two men to go to the east to solve the guard post, two men to go west to solve the guard post, and she to solve the guard post directly in front of her, that is, to the north.

At this time, the peasant thieves who had chatted with Edmund began to be unable to drowsy, and leaned against the trunk of the beech tree beside him with their spears in their arms, their eyes open and closed in an effort to resist the constant onslaught of sleepiness. As he felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, his head began to hang down from time to time. Just as he lowered his head for the last time, a high-speed arrow knocked him to the ground. Now, he can finally get a good night's sleep.

"Listen, when I've cleared the longbowmen from the trees and issued the code, you'll get moving. Starting with the first hut, they are cleared one by one. Isabel held a longbow and shouted orders to the others behind her after seeing the guard post being killed by herself.

Seeing that everyone had no problems, he bent down and quietly walked under the beech tree near the guard post. When he looked up and found the longbowman on the branch, he shot him down the tree with an arrow. He carried the longbow on his back, and picked up the enemy's quiver containing a dozen arrows and tied it around his waist.

He looked at the tall beech tree and pulled out two imitation tactical knives. Just as you would use an ice axe to climb an ice wall, use two tactical knives to start an upward climb on a tree trunk.
