Chapter 486: AI Performance Determines the Gap
The royal city guard was located in the camp near the Colosseum, a black shadow fell silently into the dark corner, two patrolling barbarian soldiers walked through the side path, before he could turn around, the sneaking black shadow quickly rushed out of the shadows, a flash of knife light, the two of them stiffened and then fell straight backwards.
After getting the black shadow and killing the two barbarian soldiers, he casually held them up, and then quickly dragged them into the shadows and hid. At the moment when he completely disappeared in, a patrol team of more than a dozen people passed by the camp next to him, and the captain led by him glanced at this side, and turned his gaze again without finding anything.
The shadows were quiet again, and it took a while for a figure to come out of it, he was wearing the outfit of a barbarian soldier, and when he looked up slightly, he could vaguely see that his face was wearing a dark iron mask in the faint moonlight. This man is the night owl who has successfully infiltrated the barbarian camp, and he seems to have begun to move to assassinate the Grand Commander.
Because the light in the barbarian camp was very dim, the night owl only had to lower his head, even if someone was walking towards him, he couldn't see his strange appearance clearly. After turning the tent where he was hiding, he stood on the side of a tent and pretended to be a sentry, and when a patrol team passed by, he quietly followed.
The patrol team's course of movement was fairly steady, and the night owls followed silently, without attracting the attention of others. Although the barbarian soldiers who fell at the back of the line noticed something unusual, they turned their heads and saw that the night owl was dressed in obvious barbarian soldier attire, and they didn't pay too much attention to it.
The night owl lowered his head and followed the patrol team around a few tents, and when he was about to reach the vicinity of a relatively large tent, he glanced up slightly, and then took advantage of the patrol team passing by a shadowy area, quietly bent down and hid in, opened a corner of the tent and rolled inside.
It seemed to be just a living place for barbarian soldiers, surrounded by bottles and cans of daily necessities, and several beds made of straw on the ground. After fumbling for a while, the night owl found a bottle of lamp oil and a fire fold in a cupboard.
After taking these things into his arms, the night owl went to the other side of the tent, took a dagger from his waist and cut it open, and then drilled through.
This is the back of the tent, and because it has its back to the light outside, it is also very time for the night owl to hide his whereabouts. He casually took off the barbarian soldier's outfit he had used to hide his identity, and walked towards the large tent he had just discovered, clearly targeting that place.
The night owl soon reached the edge of the tent, and then took cover from waist-high grass, and he crept around behind a pile of sacks, and then quietly looked up.
From here, it can be clearly seen that the largest camp in the vicinity is surrounded by open space, surrounded by a circle of barbarian soldiers standing guard, and there are two patrols of about ten people walking back and forth, obviously there must be something enough to attract their attention, and it is very likely that the Grand Commander is here.
The camp where the night owl is located is the largest royal city guard camp in the vicinity, and it is divided into three layers from the inside to the outside, although the Grand Commander is likely to stay in the innermost area, but since this well-defended camp has been found, it means that the contents inside must be very important to these barbarian soldiers.
As long as enough chaos is created here, it will definitely attract nearby barbarian soldiers, so that there will be a brief gap in the defensive strength of the first layer of defense, so that the night stalkers can successfully infiltrate the second layer of the area. And the Great Commander hidden here is also likely to be led out by the unexpected situation here, and the next thing depends on whether the night stalker can keep up with the rhythm.
Everything seems to be developing in a set direction, and as an NPC that has temporarily moved away from the player unit of Mo Qianying, the Night Stalker seems to have fully possessed the ability to think independently of himself, and in this state, he has even played all the thinking logic and behavior that an independent action unit should have.
If this matter is seen by Mo Qianying, it may surprise him, after all, although the game claims that the Oneiroi system controls the actions of all NPCs, but due to the quality of AI performance, in most cases, some NPCs do not have this behavior mode of expanding thinking in order to achieve a certain purpose, which is the so-called divergent thinking that humans generally have.
The Night Stalker seems to have planned his next move entirely by his own mindset, and the first step he has to do now is to figure out how to get the guards out of their positions and give him a chance to infiltrate the huge tent.
The night owl pulled out the fire fold he had just touched, and then secretly went around to a camp tent on the other side, and then directly poured the lamp oil hidden in his arms outside the camp tent, lit the fire fold and then came up, and while the fire was not completely rising, he hurriedly bypassed the camp tent and hid again on the side of the grass, quietly waiting for the reaction of the group of guards.
It didn't take long for the flames to ignite half of the tent, along with the weeds near it. The barbarian guard who was facing this side saw the flames, and immediately stretched out his head to look this way, and then left his post, grabbed his companion nearby and pointed in this direction.
As the fire grew, the two patrol teams that happened to patrol nearby also saw the scene of the fire, so a group of people immediately got busy, shouting to each other and running towards the nearest water point.
The night owl who was hiding in the grass next to him watched for a while, squatting in the shadows and holding his feet and squatting there motionless, and occasionally a few barbarian soldiers ran near him but could not find him, because the fire that rose into the sky not far away was too dazzling for anyone to care about this side at all.
As more and more barbarian soldiers ran over to put out the fire, the scene here began to be a little chaotic, and some barbarian soldiers dragged buckets and bumped into each other, and immediately fell into a ball and rolled on the ground. This small chaos will immediately affect the actions of more people around him, and such a small chaos occurs one after another, which immediately makes the whole scene seem chaotic.
So while the group was busy putting out the fire, the night owl also stood up from the grass where he was hiding, and went around to the side of the crowd with his waist against the shadow, and then followed the cover of a passing group of barbarian soldiers, avoiding the sight of most people, and then rushed towards the position of the large camp.
As he approached the tent, the night owl slid sideways, then raised his hand and threw out a spinning dagger, cutting a hole in the side of the tent and slipping in.
