Chapter 173: Decapitation
In the middle of the night, the Hukou Pass, which was entrenched like a monster between the mountain passes, seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and there were several patrols patrolling the corridors inside the high city walls and the city gates, and they had a clear division of labor, and they worked in shifts every three hours, like the parts of a mechanical watch.
It stands to reason that such a tight defense is already a high level of high standard, but it is not without gaps, so for some specific groups of people, it is not difficult to sneak in, and Red Hitomi is the best example.
In a sense, the combat power of the emperor's envoy level can already go against the common sense of the world and break the long-standing balance.
"Click......
The sound of footsteps is inconspicuous, but it has a neat and rhythmic feeling, and just hearing this sound can imagine in your mind that a well-trained team is approaching.
In the inner city of Hukou Pass, a patrol of about 20 people marched slowly in silence, passing through some hidden corners of the city pass as usual, and after patrolling left and right to make sure that there was no abnormality, they changed the route and turned back.
When they returned to the cantonment station, it was time to change shifts, and they could rest.
At this moment, not a single soldier noticed that in the dark shadows a hundred meters behind the patrol, a pair of bright eyes opened and stared at them without hesitation, like a predator staring at his prey.
Then, the figure that had been lurking for a long time quietly and slowly approached from behind, and the whole process did not arouse anyone's alarm, and the chaotic killing intent quietly spread in this boundless dark night, and finally turned into an invisible slaughtering hand, depriving life.
Terror and carnage came in a blink of an eye.
I saw that the figure suddenly stretched out its hands after approaching a certain position, and then the slender ten fingers stabbed forward like flesh and blood tentacles that extended at will, and the soldiers in front of them were pierced through their throats almost without even having a chance to react, and the dead were exactly ten fingers.
Immediately afterward, the fingers as sharp as spears continued to thrust forward, piercing through the throats of the second and third soldiers again, and the sudden piercing sound in the dark night was connected together, mixed with the muffled snorts of the soldiers before they died, and the bloody breath soon spread.
"Wait, there's a situation!"
Although the sound caused by the attack was not loud, it was like thunder for these soldiers on patrol, and in the exclamation of the soldier captain, the remaining soldiers subconsciously jumped away from the spot one by one, and at the same time turned to face behind them in the air, and pulled out the standard saber at their waists, and their cold eyes suddenly swept over.
However, what appeared in front of them was the brutal scene of the inexplicable and tragic death of two-thirds of their companions, scarlet liquid spilled all over the ground, and everyone was shot through the throat, and the expression on their faces was even dazed before death.
For them, this death was so abrupt and unreasonable that they didn't even have time to prepare mentally, and they didn't understand what was happening until they died.
Only a pitiful seven soldiers survived the first wave of killings, including the captain of the patrol.
They shifted their gaze back to a woman in a white martial arts uniform with a strange short ponytail, her hands stained with oozing blood, and she was licking her fingers with the tip of her tongue with an intoxicated expression.
The moonlight poured down on the woman's body from above, staining her dark eyes with a strange and evil halo, and she looked like a perverted murderer who had fallen into evil forever.
"Good evening, everyone, I'm Suzuka, let's have fun together......"
The killer chuckled softly, his low, frivolous voice stirring up the anger of the soldiers.
"You bastard!"
A young soldier's eyes were split, his sword clenching his arm trembling slightly with anger, and he took a step forward, his whole body ready to rush, as if he wanted to avenge the slain of his comrades with his own strength.
"Calm down, this is not an enemy we can deal with!"
A powerful palm clasped the young soldier's left shoulder, and the captain of the soldier stopped the reckless soldier's act of death.
Being able to sneak in quietly under the tight defense of the Southwest Army is by no means something that ordinary people can do, even the most powerful fighters can't do it.
It is not difficult to speculate that the woman in front of her is an emperor envoy, or a martial arts powerhouse who has exercised her body to the extreme and can be comparable to the emperor envoy.
Now, then, what they should do now is not to do the useless act of shaking the tree, but to send a signal as soon as possible to warn their other companions.
As for whether the seven of them can support the arrival of reinforcements, to be honest, the captain of the soldiers has a negative attitude, how strong the other party is, just from the first round of attacks just now, you can get a glimpse of one or two, that is not a force they can compete with.
Thinking of this, the captain of the soldiers immediately took off the military post from his waist, picked it up and put it to his mouth, and was about to blow it vigorously, but suddenly a hand stretched out next to him to take it down with the momentum of stealing the bell.
To the surprise of the captain of the soldiers, it was none other than a soldier standing beside him, who had been his comrade-in-arms for five years, and was an old subordinate he was very familiar with, so he could not understand the intention of this old subordinate's actions.
However, the captain of the soldier sensitively noticed that the soldier's eyes, which were originally blue, were now showing a strange crimson, and a faint halo shimmered in the moonlight.
"Locke, what are you doing......"
Before the captain of the soldier could finish his questioning, he saw the soldier named Locke suddenly pounce on him, his clenched fist wrapped in the strong wind and slammed into his face.
Such a strange phenomenon made the captain of the soldier understand that something must have happened, and he naturally couldn't sit still, and in just a few seconds, he simply used the grappling technique to subdue the rampaging Locke.
The employment system of the Southwest Military Region is the supremacy of ability, and as the captain of this squad, he is undoubtedly a cut above others in terms of strength, although Locke also has certain qualifications, but he is not his opponent.
However, just as the captain of the soldiers tried to take back the sentry from Locke, the other five soldiers around him also attacked him one by one, including the first soldier who was a little reckless and wanted to fight Suzuka.
Without exception, the eyes of these people were unusually dark red, exactly the same as Locke's.
Although the captain of the soldier has excellent ability, but in the face of these subordinates who are not going to attack one by one, he is naturally restrained everywhere because he can't kill him, and after a while, he was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and knelt on the ground in a state where his hands and feet were bound.
It was at this moment that the captain of the soldiers finally noticed that next to the woman named Suzuka, a beautiful woman with long pale blonde hair and a long black dress appeared at some point.
What is particularly striking is that the woman's eyes are as eerily bright as a cat's eye in the dark, and the eerie crimson light adds a touch of charm and evil to this beautiful woman.
This should be the reason why they are inexplicably rampage.
The captain of the soldier thought secretly.
"Well, no matter how many times you watch it, you think it's amazing, it's like you're controlling a puppet...... Hey, Dolores, how many people can you control at the same time? ”
Suzuka watched the commotion as if watching a play, and let out a heartfelt exclamation, and then asked Dolores beside her with great curiosity.
"Don't come over with a familiar face, why do you think I'm going to tell you more about my imperial abilities?" Dolores glanced at her and took a self-conscious step, "If it weren't for Lord Dynadi asking me to cooperate with you on this mission, who would be talking to you, a sow in heat?" You better go and play happily with the boars whose desires are not satisfied and vented. ”
"Woo!" Suzuka trembled violently as if she had been stabbed in the chest with a spear, and then her face became extremely flushed and she began to gasp for breath, "an undisguised expression of disgust, a look of contempt like a look at an insect, and a numbing poisonous tongue...... Although Lord Dynadi is indeed great, but Dolores, you really have a lot of potential, and it is so right that I have traveled thousands of miles to the Northeast Military Region! ”
Dolores snapped on her forehead, gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, forced her to endure the emotions that erupted in her heart, and continued on as if she hadn't heard anything.
She figured it out, and if she wanted to deal with Suzuka's type of shake M, ignoring it was the best way.
Dolores walked up to the captain of the soldiers, who was forced to kneel on the ground, looked down at him, her pale blue eyes lit up a mysterious red again, and said coldly: "Now I ask you to answer, there can be no reservations. ”
The captain of the soldiers stared at Doloris's eyes in a daze, and there was a flash of struggle in his pupils, but at last he could not resist, and one pair of eyes, like his companions, turned a dull crimson.
“…… Be. ”
"Who is the guard of Hukou Pass now?"
"It's Colonel Arrowin."
Doloris raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, "What about the other remaining imperial envoys or combat power of the same level?" Explain their names and abilities. ”
The captain of the soldiers looked blank and said without a trace of concealment: "Adjutant Marika is an emperor-level combat power, but she doesn't seem to have an imperial tool, and she has always only used a sword courtier. In addition, Miss Chelsea is also an imperial envoy, but she does not have the ability to fight head-on, and is often responsible for scouts' reconnaissance. ”
"Where is that Arrowan now?"
"At three o'clock here, about a thousand two hundred meters ahead, Colonel Arrowan usually rests in his dormitory there, and Adjutant Marika is in the next room."
"I see, is that so......"
At this end of the question, Dolores looked down and thought for a moment, then said to the soldiers who bound the captain of the soldiers, "Let him go." ”
The soldiers let go as they were told, and the captain of the soldiers stood up, their eyes remaining crimson without a divine light, and they remained in place without moving or speaking, as if waiting for Dolores' next instructions.
"You dispose of the corpses here, and then you can find a place where no one is there and commit suicide."
Dolores gave a cruel order at will, but the controlled soldiers had no intention of resisting, and they all agreed, and then went about their work without saying a word.
"That should buy some time, and before their bodies are found and cause a riot, we need to find the man named Arrowen and get rid of him." Dolores turned to Suzuka and said this, not so much as a discussion, but a unilateral communication of her will.
It had been two or three days since Javier led his army out of Hukou Pass and set out to conquer Jerlock, and Dolores and Suzuka infiltrated Hukou Pass to assassinate the main general of the city at the order of Danadi.
As long as the lord defending the city is killed, the garrison of the southwest army will fall into a state of leaderlessness, and then Dinati will take the opportunity to send troops to attack here and capture the Hukou Pass with the blitzkrieg method.
In other words, this is the so-called "decapitation operation".
However, this plan was unexpected at this time.
Originally, in Dynadi's expectation, in order to deal with the decisive battle with Anning Dao, Javier should lead most of the main force to pour out, and only the minimum troops and combat power left in the Tiger Pass were left, as long as the main general died, he might not even be able to do decent resistance.
However, from Dolores' observations so far, the fortress has at least 10,000 troops reserved, and the defender will be the famous "Black Fox" Arrowen, which undoubtedly caused a great hindrance to the progress of the plan......
It seems that Javier Salmondo is indeed more cautious than expected, or rather...... What was the wind heard before the military operation?
But there is no point in thinking about this now, it is inevitable that some unpredictable accidents will happen during the mission, based on this situation, thinking about how to complete the task properly is what a good killer should do.
The most important thing is that if she completes the task perfectly in such an unfavorable situation, Lord Danati will definitely praise her afterwards, right?
At the thought of this, Dolores felt full of energy.
"Are you sure you want to do it?" Suzuka tilted her head, "Don't blame me for speaking ugly, that guy named Arrowen has been in the limelight lately, and many people regard him as a strong contender for the next 'strongest in the empire...... There is no vanity under the fame, even if such a person is weak, he must not be weak, do you really have the certainty of dealing with him? ”
The people who can be associated with the "strongest in the empire" are some terrifying guys, and Suzuka knows this very well.
Once the "Rakshasa Four Ghosts" joined forces with Bude, who was sealed by the emperor, a big battle broke out in the palace, and the result ended up being two dead and two fleeing, and now recalling the thrilling scene at that time, Suzuka can tremble with excitement.
Of course, excitement is excitement, Suzuka still cherishes her life quite much, after all, only if her life is intact can she enjoy the fun of being humiliated in the future, so she never dies at will.
"Don't worry, I'll hand it over to me when the time comes." The corners of Dolores' mouth lifted slightly, and she said confidently, "You just need to be responsible for dragging the other people in the way and not letting them disturb me." ”
Hearing this, Suzuka spread his hands and said helplessly: "Since you said so, then I can only accompany you." ”
