Chapter 169: Ants Make Meritorious Contributions
The 1,500 evolutionaries of the First Legion of Suyang were scattered in the north of the Hutong Bridge, and in addition to the army that protected the survivors along the way, there were more than 12,000 soldiers left to patrol to prevent the emergence of powerful mutant beasts.
The other side gave up the attack, Hong Ding and the others not only did not relax, but became more and more uneasy, no matter how they saw it, it was impossible for the Ming to let the First Army cross the Yangtze River and threaten the Ming Capital.
In the rear, a patrolling evolutionary combat value detector suddenly flickered, "Thirty-six, second-level evolutionary", the evolutionary exclaimed, and then a blood stain sprayed on his neck, and he collapsed to the ground, and the blood stained the ground red.
The other evolutionaries immediately attacked, but they didn't catch the enemy, "It's a ninja", everyone was shocked, and the legendary Toei ninja appeared.
Hong Ding soon gets the news that the ninja is assassinating the First Legion Evolver.
This news made him angry, he hated Dongying devils the most, Hong Ding asked Gao Ya and Lu Jingjing to continue to protect Zhang Haoran to build the bridge, and he took Cheng Cheng, Xue Liang and others to the rear.
The assassination is still continuing, the ninja's attack methods are weird, their bodies are extremely fast, they know how to use various things to disguise themselves, even the second-level evolutionaries can't stop the ninjas who sneak attack, and more than ten evolutionaries died in just ten minutes, which can be described as extremely miserable.
Sato Hidetada hid in the shadows and never made a move, for him, ordinary evolutionaries have no meaning to assassinate, only third-level evolutionaries, and even supernatural ones have the value of assassination.
Six ninjas, plus him a total of seven, assassinated the Su Yang Evolver at a critical moment and delayed the pace of the First Legion's attack, this is the order that Sato Hidetada received.
Moved slightly, there was a tingling pain in his waist, Sato Hidetada secretly gritted his teeth, the last injury should have been completely healed, but the hidden trace of the knife could not be eliminated no matter what, that man was too terrifying, not only brought him physical trauma, but also made him a shadow.
The original idea of challenging the madman of the Yanagi family disappeared completely.
The air was filled with bloody aura, and the flash of ninjas made the fear of death rise in the hearts of Su Yang evolutionaries, and on the ground, the corpses of more than a dozen evolutionaries lay sideways.
Hong Ding stood quietly in place, behind him, the phantom of Gu Ding appeared above Xue Liang's head, blocking him around, "Look, these rats must be hiding around" Hong Ding said angrily, Xue Liang stopped, asked the others not to move, and looked around with his eyes.
At the moment when Hong Ding appeared, Sato Hidezhong's eyelids jumped, master, absolute master, although there was no death threat brought to him by the man before, but it also made him react involuntarily, why does Su Yang often have masters of this level?
Sato Hidetada hesitated, his intuition was very sensitive, and the strong people who could move him have appeared so far There are three people, Situ Kong, the madman of the Liu Sheng family, and the Su Yang master who injured him, these three people have never fought except Situ Kong, and the other two have brought him an indelible impression, and Hong Ding is the fourth person, Sato Hidezhong is scared, he - dare not make a move.
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed, the snow-white knife light slashed towards an evolutionary's erection neck, Hong Ding's eyes flashed, and the ancient Ding phantom appeared above the evolutionary's head in an instant, the ninja knife and the ancient Ding phantom collided with a crisp sound, the Gu Ding phantom did not change, but the ninja knife appeared a gap, the attacking ninja immediately fled when he saw that the blow was missed, but unfortunately the feet had been entangled by the branches, Cheng Cheng made a move, and the branches pierced the ninja from the bottom up, which was very bloody and very relieving.
"It's just the strength of a second-level evolutionary, but the weird methods of ninjas are really unguardable," Xue Liang exclaimed.
"Can you know how many ninjas are hiding?" Hong Ding asked.
Xue Liang shook his head, the combat value detector can detect combat power, but it can't lock on to the target.
When a ninja was killed, Hidetada Sato secretly ordered all the ninjas to retreat, and their task was only to harass, not to resist the First Legion head-on.
Ten minutes later, the flicker of the combat value detector disappeared, and "Ninja left," one of the evolutionaries exhaled in rejoicing.
Hong Ding's face was gloomy as water, more than a dozen of his subordinates died, but in exchange for the price of one ninja, it was too much of a loss, "These rats will definitely not leave here, they will definitely come to attack again, all the evolutionaries are in a group of twenty, and the three groups are in a circle to keep in touch, and they also order all the ordinary soldiers to retreat to the north of Nantong."
At the break of the Hutong Bridge, Ye Jiahong attacked again, Hong Ding and others left to give him a chance, Gao Ya alone could not stop Ye Jiahong and Huizhi from joining forces, and the bridge that Zhang Haoran had worked so hard to build was quickly destroyed.
The First Army seemed to be in a stalemate, and the attack was obviously dominated by the two major armies, and if the First Army was stuck on the Hutong Bridge, the pressure on the Second Army would become very great.
However, sometimes a small thing can change the tide of battle.
The six ninjas of Sato Hidetada are hidden in the wild dense forest, and after the apocalypse, the trees grow wildly, the woods are dense, and the ninjas hide in it very hidden, and no one will find out at all, as long as you are careful not to be discovered by the mutant beast, it is basically safe.
The dense forest under the Hutong Bridge has been swept by the First Legion, and there are no more mutant beasts above the fourth level, and there will be no danger for the evolutionary to hide in it, the so-called every forest is not to enter, not to mention that in the face of the hidden ninjas, the First Legion does not dare to come in, Sato Hidetada thought so.
Gao Ya's thoughts were the same as Sato Hidetada's, so she placed the third-level mutant ants in the dense forest, and no one was allowed to approach within a circle.
Jiang Feng recovered the ant nest, and the third-level powerhouses in the Suyang gathering place could be assigned to the third-level mutant ants, and Cheng Cheng did not have mutant ants due to the appearance problem, so only Gao Ya had a third-level ant who came to the first legion to support this time, wandering comfortably in the dense forest.
Layers of leaves piled up in the dense forest, and the mutant ants walked on the leaves without making much noise, until their tentacles touched a ninja.
The ninja who was hiding under the roots of the tree was touched by the tentacles of the mutant ants, and when he turned his head to look, he almost didn't pee, screamed, and then was cut in half by the mutant ants' double pincers.
The other ninjas were alarmed, and at the same time attacked the mutant ants, the mutant ant shell was hard, extremely fast, and infinitely powerful, and several ninja knives attacked the ant shell without leaving even a trace, and the ants waved their double pincers and did not touch the ninja's body, but the strong wind still tore several ninjas apart.
These ninjas are only second-level evolutionary strength, and if there is no means to hide assassination, their strength is not strong.
When several ninjas died, Sato Hidetada reacted, an instant kill left a cut on the ant's back, the attack power of the third-level ability is not comparable to the second-level evolutionary, even the shell of the mutant ant did not resist, the mutant ant is larger, and there are few opponents within the third level of hard encounter, but the ninja attack is weird, especially when encountering a dexterous opponent like Sato Hidetada, he can only be passively slaughtered.
After being slashed a few times, the mutant ants were helpless against Sato Hidetada, so they simply fled, sniffing the elegant smell and fleeing to the south.
Although Sato Hidetada can kill ants, but it can't be done in a short time, his ability can't attack continuously, and every time he launches it, it's a big burden on the body, seeing the mutant ants flee, he looks at the corpses all over the ground, and leaves with hatred.
Seven ninjas came to the Hutong Bridge to assassinate the First Legion, and achieved remarkable results, but they encountered mutant ants and paid five lives, leaving only Sato Hidetada.
It was impossible for Hidetada Sato to fight against the First Army alone, and he could only abandon the mission.
An assassination operation against the First Legion ended just after it began, or it was terminated by an ant, which can only be regarded as the bad luck of Hidetada Sato and others who ran into it.
The mutant ant fled all the way to the break of the Shanghai-Tong Bridge, and it chased the smell to find elegance.
The appearance of the mutant ant frightened the evolutionaries of the First Legion to retreat, and Gao Ya thought that the mutant ant was out of control, until the mutant ant stopped, and only found the scar on its back.
"What a sharp incision, it's a master, a third-level evolutionary," Hong Ding was surprised.
Gao Ya stroked the mutant ant's tentacles and comforted it, the ant made a slight hissing sound, although the ant was hideous and terrifying, but this scene seemed more warm.
When everyone came to the dense forest, Sato Hidetada had already left, leaving five corpses on the ground, plus the ninja who was killed by Cheng Cheng, a total of six ninjas left their lives here.
"The detector didn't respond, the ninjas should be gone," Xue Liang said.
"There are not many ninjas in Dongying, there should be even fewer in Huaxia, there will be no more than ten people in a single dispatch, there are six corpses here, except for the third-level ninja, the others should be here."
Hong Ding was in a good mood, and looked at Gao Ya with a smile, "Yes, I just came here and made a meritorious service."
Gao Ya was quite speechless, she didn't do anything, but the ants were not lightly injured.
Although the ninja left, it was a big blow to the morale of the First Legion, coupled with the obstruction of Ye Jiahong, Huizhi and others on the other side, it was obviously not easy to cross the Yangtze River in the short term.
