As night fell, the darkness of the night enveloped the forest, and at the same time enveloped the camp in the forest.

Yulian nimbly jumped off the tree and walked lightly to the outskirts of the camp, carefully observing the camp in front of him. In the dim darkness of the night, the interior of the camp was unusually quiet, there was no human fire, and the soldiers were just tired leaning against the rocks and trees, resting and guarding the task. Although on the surface, these soldiers are still very serious and alert, Yulian can easily see that these soldiers are now at the end of their power, and they are purely just appearances. It's no wonder that these days, the continuous rush is also considered to exhaust their mental strength, although it is not completely safe at the moment, but people are not always iron, in the border valley area, and saw their own reinforcements, so subconsciously relaxed. Of course, the soldiers' actions were not unreasonable, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, they did not light a fire, and even the lights in the carriage were blocked by a thick curtain. In this case, it is very difficult for both the enemy to find them and the enemy to find them. In this way, only relying on the strength of both sides, the soldiers still have a lot of trust in the strength of their generals, and a high-level swordsman naturally has no need to say much about the strength of the sensing power around him. And all they have to do is regain their energy so that they can react in the first place. Taking a step back, if the other party can avoid General Shet's induction, then naturally it is not a character that he can deal with. Only those recruits believe that hard training can save lives, and for these veterans who have been on the battlefield all their lives, they trust their instincts and luck even more.

Because of this, they didn't even notice that an uninvited guest was quietly blending in with them under the cover of night.

Of course, the soldiers did not let up because they were about to complete their mission, and they were still scattered around the camp to ensure that they could block any gap and cover their comrades. But even so, the gap in strength is completely irreparable. Yuren didn't even bend down, trying to hide from their camp. On the contrary, he behaved more like a true aristocrat who had accepted the invitation and was attending a drinking party, and walked forward with gentleness. The sound of his footsteps overlapped with the sound of the wind blowing through the forest, completely muffled. And the figure in the black coat also perfectly blended with the shadows of the trees swaying in the night. He just moved quietly, taking advantage of the moment the other party turned his head to melt into the darkness, and then easily crossed the blockade and entered the interior of the camp.

In the middle of the camp, two wagons were parked quietly. Yuren walked slowly, then listened intently for a moment, and then, he turned and leaned against the back of one of the carriages, although the heavy curtain cut off the light from the inside and outside, Yulian could still feel the three breaths inside. It was clear that what he was looking for was in it.

Thinking of this, Yulian didn't say anything more, he just shrugged his shoulders, then closed his eyes and began to listen to the other party's conversation. Those faint voices became unusually clear after Yu Lian concentrated his mind.

"Uncle Shet, how long will we have to wait?"

A young boy's voice rang out, and although he tried to make a calm and calm inquiry, the unconcealed eagerness and uneasiness in his words betrayed his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, for the sake of your safety, we will have to wait here for a while, I don't think it will be too long. ”

Compared to the young boy, Schett replied very calmly, and from the tone of his voice and the way he spoke, he was used to such reassurance.

"But ..............."

Hearing General Schett's answer, the boy seemed a little unconvinced.

"Anyway, we're also royal family of Orrut, so why do we have to go to West?

“............... Things are not as easy as you think, Your Highness. ”

Hearing this, General Sheter let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness, please do not forget His Majesty's entrustment, you and the princess are the hope of our kingdom of Aurute, and we must work hard to survive and pass on the royal bloodline. As long as the royal blood remains, then we will one day reclaim our land and reclaim all that belongs to Orrut. I understand the feelings of the two of you who don't want to leave this land, but now that the situation has reached a critical juncture, we have no other choice. Therefore, I hope that the two of you can be considerate. ”

"Uncle Shet..............."

Having said this, the atmosphere in the carriage became a little solemn, and at this moment, Yu Lian raised his eyebrows, opened his eyes, and then slid to the side. Almost at the same time, a figure came to the front of the carriage and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who is it. ”

General Shet's majestic voice came from inside the car, and the figure outside immediately answered his inquiry.

"It's me, General Sheter. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, General Schett's voice was a little surprised, and then he quickly opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, and standing in front of him was the lieutenant who belonged to General Celtic. At this moment, he is still dressed as an adventurer, but between his eyebrows, he seems to be a little impatient.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

Seeing that the other party's expression was a little bad, General Schitt couldn't help but get nervous, he glanced at the carriage behind him, and then asked eagerly.

"Yes, in fact, I have some very important things to do this time, and I hope to be able to talk to you alone, General. ”

"Talk alone?"

When General Scheater heard this, he subconsciously swept over the other party, he reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist, and the atmosphere around him also became tense at this time.

"I think we don't have anything to hide in front of His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"Quite the opposite. ”

In the face of General Sheter's question, the young adjutant's face remained unchanged, and he still stood in front of General Sheter with his head held high, completely unchanged because of the other party's coercion.

"Frankly, I ...... this In other words, General Celtic did not want the two highnesses to hear it, because it was very likely that this would have a certain impact on the future exchanges between the two countries. However, General Celtic once told me that General Sheter was a man of great righteousness and should be able to make wise choices and judgments. ”

“........................”

Hearing the other party say this, General Schitt frowned, and he also knew very well that what the other party said was true. After all, he himself knew very well that although the two highnesses were both royal families, they did not have anything special about it. In fact, they were only in the period of training, and they were not old enough to mature and calmly deal with political issues. Because of this, General Shet is actually secretly a little worried, if they are allowed to enter the West Kingdom like this, then it may also have a rather bad impact. But in the end, General Shet had no other choice, as he said, the first goal was to survive first, and then deal with the ensuing problems.

"I don't think it will take up much of your time. ”

The young adjutant smiled, and then he stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation to the grass next to the camp.

“.....................”

General Schett stared at the hand for a moment's silence, then nodded.

"Okay, I agree. ”

As soon as the words fell, General Sheter's body suddenly exuded a murderous aura, roaring and spreading around. And this also made Yu Lian, who was hiding behind the carriage, raise his eyebrows, and in the face of this spreading aura, Yu Lian reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword behind his waist, and then gently pulled it out.

The pitch-black sword body unsheathed silently, and at the same time, the aura that was attacking Yulian stagnated slightly, and then continued to move forward as if it were not aware of any existence, scattering in all directions.

"Let's go. ”

After making sure that there were no threats or suspicious presences around, General Schitt nodded, and then he turned around and followed the lieutenant towards the deep forest at the edge of the camp.

Yuren didn't follow along to eavesdrop on their conversations, unlike Shert, as a gifted knight, his sensitivity to his surroundings was far from comparable to that of high-level swordsmen. In fact, just as Shet turned to leave, Yulian had already noticed that some rats hiding deep in the distance were sneaking up on the area. And their purpose, naturally, can be guessed without explanation. So, Yulian gathered his mind, and just quietly merged his figure with the shadow next to the carriage, and silently watched the good show that was about to be staged in front of him.

It's midnight.

Most of the soldiers had already fallen asleep from sleepiness. Even the few sentinels who were barely awake were exhausted. No matter how energetic a person is, there are always a few points in the day that will make them let their guard down. And now it's midnight, and that's when people are most sleepy. The cold breeze and the rustling of the trees are mixed together, like some kind of lullaby of nature, luring everyone into a deep sleep.

"Whew........."

Finally, a soldier couldn't help it, raised his hand and yawned. And at this moment, the Grim Reaper also crept in.

"Whew!"

A pitch-black arrow burst out of the grass and struck the opponent's chest with ease. The poor soldier didn't have time to react at all, and before he even lowered his right hand, his whole body was lifted by the powerful impact, and he took two steps back, and then was pinned to the trees beside him. And at this moment, his right hand hung down completely weakly and landed on his side. The bow and crossbow in his hand fell—but before he could fall to the ground, he was silently caught by a pair of hands reaching out of the grass, and then quickly retracted.

"Huh?"

Sensing the commotion, the other soldier turned his head curiously, narrowed his eyes, and tried to look in the direction of his companion. However, before he could see the figure pinned to the tree clearly, in the grass beside him, a black shadow jumped up, and the dagger in his hand cut a perfect arc in the night, easily harvesting life. Then, the black figure immediately pressed the soldier's backward body, pulled it back silently, and lowered it into the grass. The whole process was done in one go, and no one noticed the problem at all.

"Not bad. ”

Seeing this, You Lian showed a look of appreciation, he had already seen that these lurkers were not ordinary people, but killers with considerable skills, and moreover, they also had the strength of the middle and upper ranks. These people are certainly not ordinary soldiers. After all, considering the allied relationship between West and Oluth, it would be easy to leave a handle if those ordinary soldiers were to do it. And since King West can safely send such a force with good strength and good at assassination, he must have a private understanding of their loyalty. Of course, in terms of absolute strength, these people are nothing in Yulian's eyes. But the assassination skills they showed made Yu Lian still a little admired. After all, assassination is not the same as frontal combat, and in many cases, assassination is more of a sophisticated discipline that requires the perfect combination of skill, means, and timing to be sublimated into a masterpiece of art.

Although these killers are still some distance from "art", the tacit understanding and ability to grasp the timing they show still make Yulian have to admire.

Soon, several checkpoints on the periphery had been completely placed, and Yulian, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but get a little excited as he watched the black-clothed men quietly jump out of the grass and approach the inside of the camp without a sound.

"Brother, do you want to do it?"

"Dad, do you want to do it now?"

"Nope. ”

Julien shook his head and rejected the sisters' proposal, it was clear that the pair of girls hiding in the shade had already sensed the developments, but it was not yet time, and in Julien's opinion, more waiting was needed to make sure he could appear at the perfect time - and this was just an appetizer.

So, let me enjoy it again.

With this in mind, Yulian shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on the carriage with his arms folded, watching as the man in black wielded a dagger and easily slit the throat of a sleeping soldier.

"Huh?"

General Schitt stopped, and he glanced in the direction of the camp in confusion, frowning. Just now, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, but this feeling was only instantaneous, and it quickly passed through General Schett's heart. He stopped, turned around, looked at the young lieutenant who was following him, and said in a deep voice.

"If there's anything, just say it here. ”

"Okay. ”

Seeing that General Schett insisted on this, the young adjutant nodded, and then he was silent for a moment, as if organizing his own language, and then the young adjutant asked.

"I beg your pardon, General Sheter, I wonder what you plan to do when you escort the two Highnesses to West?"

"Of course, it is to assist the two Highnesses. ”

General Schett was quick to give an answer.

"I will try my best to assist the two Highnesses so that they can go further. Orrut is not yet dead, Orrut will never perish, and as long as we are here, I believe that one day, we will take back the land from those hateful invaders!"

"Your ideas are very admirable, General Schett. ”

Hearing General Schett's answer, the young adjutant spoke without blinking.

"But have you ever wondered............... Another way?"

"What do you mean by that?"

Hearing this, General Shet's face sank slightly.

"That's right, General Sheter. ”

In the face of General Sheter's displeasure, the young adjutant did not change in the slightest, and still said with a smile.

"In fact, His Majesty King West admires the General very much, and if you are willing to become one of our West generals, then His Majesty will certainly not treat you badly. I think you also know that a war with the Sith will break out soon, and you are the first general of Orrut and the front-line commander of the Sith Empire, so you must know them very well. Therefore, His Majesty the King of my country has sent me to inquire of your meaning...... If you agree to join us in the Kingdom of West, then we will give you the treatment of the Fourth Legion!"

"I refuse!"

Hearing this, General Schett replied immediately without thinking about it.

"I am the general of Orrut, and I will never change my position because of this, so please convey it to your Majesty the King, and I will accept it kindly. If your country needs my command experience and intelligence about the Sith Empire, then I can give it completely and unconditionally. But please forgive me for not being able to join your country. I have sworn to His Majesty King Awrut to guard all that is in Olute in the name of Holy Mana, so I am afraid that I must refuse the kindness of His Majesty the King of your country..............."

"That's not what I said, General Sheter. ”

In the face of Schett's refusal, the young adjutant remained unchanged.

"If you are willing to join West, then His Majesty will also give you more power and status, of course, I know you don't care about that, but if you want to contribute to Olute, isn't this the best choice? Moreover, for these two highnesses, isn't what they need is great strength?"

“.................................”

This time, Schett didn't answer immediately, he was silent and began to think.

Indeed, what the adjutant said was right, no matter how much he reused, he was an officer of Orrut after all, and West would definitely not be able to leave the affairs to himself with confidence. In other words, if you need to be empowered, you have to have a closer relationship with West. However, General Schett also once swore an oath, this ............... "Ah............hhhhh

Just after General Shet was in a dilemma, suddenly, a scream pierced the calm of the night sky, and hearing this scream, General Sheter's face also changed, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the camp.

"What's going on!?"

Just as General Schitt set his eyes on the camp, the young lieutenant standing in front of him suddenly showed a sneer, and then, he suddenly pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed at General Schitt.

"Die!"

As a high-ranking swordsman, General Schitt immediately sensed the attack, and he quickly retreated, shouting at the same time as he drew his sword and slashed it down.

The snow-white sword slashed into the young adjutant's shoulder impartially. However, this fatal blow did not hinder the opponent's offensive at all, and the young adjutant laughed loudly and continued to push forward. At the same time as the blade of the sword cut off his shoulder, the dagger in the young adjutant's hand had already pierced into General Shet's body.
