Chapter Seventy-Five: Night Attack

Chen Li was almost amused by Paitus's vivid explanation.

"But that all changed when I found out he was hooking up with that villain in the court."

"That vicious waiter named Crowsius didn't know what magic tricks he used to charm the emperor, Claudius obeyed him, so we were sent to Gaul to suppress the 'rebellion', in fact, they just wanted all my soldiers to die there, do you really think I don't know!" Paitus gritted his teeth as he said this, and the words came out of his mouth almost word by word.

"Now, it's as clear as a stripped beauty lying on a bed, isn't it?"

He slammed his fist on the table next to him, and said with a cold air: "Tonight, we will arrest that bastard of Polynus, remove that vampire's wings, and then tomorrow, we will surround him on the spot in the palace and force him to show his ugly face!" ”

Chen Li nodded, agreeing with Paitus's murderous decision, which was simple and brutal and effective.

It wasn't long before the earth had faded from the color of the sun, and no more than a crescent moon hung over the horizon when a small group of the best soldiers was summoned to the manor by Paitus.

Chen Li secretly observed these tall soldiers, and from their scars, it could be seen that they were all experienced soldiers, and it seemed that several of them were also from the gladiatorial arena, because the weapons in their hands were different from the standard weapons of Rome.

"I'm going to pinch that little guy in Polynus by the neck and come with me!" Paitus, dressed in a military uniform, was dressed in blood-red robes, and he could no longer suppress the anger of being calculated.

Chen Li and Luo Yun walked at the end of the team, they were not fools, if Polynus's manor was so easily breached, this task would not be worth the D-level difficulty.

At the very least, Polynus must have the strength to be able to talk to the Blood Ancestor, and it is obvious that a general of flesh and blood cannot reach such a level.

The manor of Polynus is larger than that of Paitus, and the whole manor is divided into many parts, and the thick stone walls separate the manor from the city, which looks almost indistinguishable from the city within a city, except for a few roads connecting the manor to the outside world.

Paitus narrowed his eyes, and the killing intent condensed into a substantial light in his eyes: "You guys, lead your men to block all the intersections around, I can't get out even if I want a bug!" ”

He gently pulled out the Roman short sword at his waist, and the special metal rubbed against the scabbard to make a tooth-sore sound, "poof", in the light of the torch, Paitus's face and the sword body glowing with a palpitating cold light, shining brilliantly.

"Life or death except for Polynus and his family!" , even if the general hates him again, he has no right to dispose of another general in private, and he is ready to knock Polynus into the dust in one fell swoop when he forces the Blood Ancestor tomorrow, and he will never be able to turn over.

"You need to capture Polynus before the Blood Ancestor's reinforcements arrive, 3 hours remaining"

The prompt of the space told Chen Li that this battle was not a sure action.

The sound of swords being drawn sounded, and Chen Li and the others slowly approached the gate under the wall.

"Poof", Luo Yun controlled two flying knives to twist the heads of the two guards, and the two soldiers immediately went up to support the bodies that were about to fall to the ground.

"Good!" , Paitus gave him an approving look.

He was never a scheming man: "Warriors, rush in and capture Polinus!" ”

Then Chen Li saw these fierce and vicious guys rushing into the manor like tigers and wolves.

"You promised you that everything they stole would be yours?" Chen Li also knew such a custom of the Roman army.

Paitus laughed and patted Chen Li on the shoulder: "What's wrong with these young men working for me, and I give them glory and wealth?" Caticius, it seems that you are not familiar with us Romans. ”

Chen Li was speechless, just now he may have had a little "Holy Mother Heart" attack, but he was quickly strangled in a seedling state by him.

"Follow me, I know where that kid lives, hmph, he's living with a woman now!" Paitus took a step towards a building in the center of the manor.

Chen Li and Luo Yun followed closely.

That's when the "Moo! A roar of man and beast came from the other side of the manor, and the loud cry almost woke everyone in the manor.

The huge palm suddenly burst out of the ground, grabbing an intruder, a hill-like figure crawling out of the ground, gray-white muscles like stones crashing through the surrounding land, its heavy body trembling just by stepping on the ground, it had a single horn, a single eye was bloodshot, full of bloodlust and brutality, grasping the intruder in one hand and a huge hammer in the other. It shoved the person in its hand into its mouth, rolled it with its tongue as if it were chewing chocolate, and rubbed it against its teeth. The screams came to an abrupt end, and the sound of broken bones grinding and the monster's satisfying "hum" echoed through the manor.

"Damn! It's a cyclops! I should have thought of it a long time ago. Paitus was worried about his boys.

Chen Li looked at the cyclops crawling out of the ground, and immediately knew that this was an elite-level monster with dual strengths and physiques, but he didn't know who was stronger between it and the blood ancestor.

However, Chen Li can't deal with that big guy now, his main task now is to capture Polynus, and after a long time, the Blood Ancestor will rush over with support, not to mention some other forces that will appear in troubled waters.

"General, we must capture Polynus first, so that we may be able to order him to stop the cyclops." , Chen Li is naturally what he is doing now.

Paitus took a deep breath: "You're right, let's go!" ”

When the cyclops killed the third man, Chen Li had already arrived at Polynus's residence, he looked at the closed door in front of him, kicked the door bolt open, and rushed in with the people.

"That guy lives on the third floor, let's go up!" , the general is also a nobleman, and of course he knows exactly what the configuration of such a typical aristocratic residence is.

Paitus was about to rush to the second floor, "Be careful! Chen Li grabbed the impulsive general. His eyesight was better, and around the corner he spotted a little bit of chill in the darkness, like a viper.

As soon as Chen Li pulled Paitus's forward body back, several sharp arrows were shot at the general's feet, and the remaining momentum was unabated, and he even returned three points into the stone.

The other soldiers were not so lucky, and the lightning arrows pierced the throats and heads of the men at the very first moment, and the desire for wealth and women was still in their eyes, and they fell to the ground, their tracheas punctured, and no matter how much they struggled, they could not make a sound.

"Papapa", a figure clapped his hands in the dark and walked to the front, Chen Li saw the situation clearly, more than a dozen soldiers with bows and arrows hid in the dark, just waiting for them to emerge from the stairs and immediately launched a fatal blow.

The clothes on the figure in front of him were not neatly dressed, and some traces of the "Great War" could be seen on the exposed skin. "Paitus, you scumbag bastard, you're going to die today! Rushed into the manor and attacked me while I was making out with my dear Parsa! ”

"Humph! Polynus, you were the first to calculate me, and now you are accusing me? Now, even if you are clever and clever, you can't save you god-spurned fellow! Paitus scolded back, no less impressive.

"Shoot the arrows!" , Polynus knew that it was useless for him to say more, he just wanted to delay a little longer as much as he could.

Chen Li immediately shrank to the top of the stairs to avoid the rain of arrows. "Raise your shield and rush up for me!" , Paitus's temper swelled and he didn't care about any casualties.

Chen Li took advantage of the situation and rose, "The embrace of the blood angel!" The black feathers carried the light of blood and instantly surrounded Chen Li's whole body, leaving only a pair of deep black eyes that were not covered, Chen Li stepped on the guardrail of the staircase, moving with the wind and rushing up to the ground on the second floor like a black mist.

But these soldiers seem to be even more powerful than the guards Chen Li has ever seen! The bowstring in his hand kept stopping, and he could catch up with Chen Li's movement speed, and several arrows were shot at the feathers behind Chen Li, leaving a black mist drifting away.

Chen Li launched his stealth, stepped into the darkness, and rushed to the middle of the archers, and the wide-ranging taunt grabbed all vision.

"You took 16 damage."

"You took 56 critical damage."

It's hard to imagine that Chen Li can still be damaged by these people for more than 50 points, although not every attack will appear critical, and it can't withstand the dozen or so archers here.

But Chen Li has never been the kind of MT character who doesn't fight back when he is beaten, the green tendons on his arms burst out, and the sharp iron thorns tear through the air, smashing several archers around him into the air with several punches in a row. Their skulls made a crisp cracking sound, the corners of their mouths were completely crooked to the side, and even their necks were twisted undeformable, and clumps of blood gushed out of their mouths after hitting the crowd.

"You killed the Praetorian Guard and gained 500 evolution points."

"Ahh Seeing that the enemy rushed in front of him, Polynus panicked all of a sudden.

Chen Li barely dodged two arrows, but was still shot in the body by other archers, and the arrows carrying armor-piercing power shot into Chen Li's feathered armor, and were stuck by his hard-as-iron muscles, reducing his health by a small amount.

"Come here!" , Chen Li grabbed Polynus who was about to run like a hook with a skill, pulled him back with a hard pull, and then buckled his neck with his backhand.
