Chapter 465: Night Assassin
Behind the pavilion, three figures were lurking in the forest, staring at the direction of the pavilion.
It was midnight, and the crescent moon was gradually disappearing into the veil-like clouds, and it was quiet all around. Except for the soldiers on duty at night, most of them have already fallen asleep.
The three of them looked at each other and nodded.
One of them, wearing a skull mask, quickly pinched his hands and slammed one hand to the ground, and a shadow appeared at his feet. The shadow widened rapidly, and eight black lines branched out from it, like thick spider silk.
Soon, the ends of the black lines squirmed, and a black human figure gradually rose from them. The humanoid twisted its body and stood up, constantly tearing at its body, opening its mouth to roar at the sky, but it did not make a sound.
The caster looked in the direction of the pavilion, and with a gesture of his hand, eight black figures ran towards the pavilion. It's just that the movements when running are a little weird, not at all like what a normal person can do, and there is a long black line behind him, connected to the caster.
At the same time, another person also flew towards the pavilion, and when he reached the sky above the pavilion, he reached out and scattered some seeds the size of broad beans. As soon as the seeds hit the ground, they exploded, and thick vines emerged from the soil, with branches shaped like swords. The vines spread rapidly, encircling the entire pavilion like a tall fence.
The last person pulled out a broadsword half a man high from his back, jumped out in one step, and rushed towards the pavilion.
The incident happened suddenly, and the people in the pavilion did not react at all, and the three of them quickly completed the encirclement of the pavilion, isolating the soldiers on the periphery, and the sword-wielding man delivered the final blow.
Among the three, there are main attackers, assists, cover, tacit cooperation, and quick action, even if there are hundreds of people stationed outside, they can kill the target in a short time.
Things went well, and the skull mask-clad Assassin breathed a sigh of relief, as he had the easiest way to ensure that he was able to carry out the assassination in relative safety.
Suddenly, he sensed what seemed to be someone behind him. Turning his head, a tall man looked at him expressionlessly.
Frightened, the mouth of the mask on his face opened, and a puff of black smoke shot out of it. The black smoke quickly solidified into the shape of a short sword and stabbed at the man's face.
The man stretched out a finger, which seemed to be very slow, but it was against the short sword that was close at hand. The sharp tip of the sword touched the soft fingers, but like a crispy cake meeting the board, it turned into pieces of flying chips and scattered in the night.
The Assassin knew by this time that he had encountered a terrible opponent, and if he did not use all his strength, he would probably not be able to escape today. As soon as his heart was crossed, the eight black figures who had originally rushed to the pavilion returned to his side in an instant, forming a barrier and attacking the man.
Shhhhh The white qi was extremely cold, and it quickly turned everything in the net into ice cubes, freezing these tangible and substantiated black human figures in it.
The man tapped lightly with his hand, and the ice cubes turned into powder, and the black human form in it disappeared.
"Ahh The skull-masked assassin panicked, screamed, turned around and ran into the woods.
It is said that at such a close distance, you can leap into the forest in one step. However, the Assassin was saddened to find that the woods were still standing quietly in the distance, and the distance between himself and the woods had not shortened at all.
A hand grabbed the Assassin's neck, and the Assassin's body quickly dried up, and water poured out of his body. In a few moments, the Assassin was reduced to a dried corpse.
Click, the man's hand was slightly hard, and the dry corpse turned into a pile of pieces and fell to the ground.
The man clapped his hands lightly, as if he had killed a mosquito, without the slightest fluctuation on his face. Looking up at the Assassin who was driving the vines to attack the pavilion and the soldiers, his body suddenly disappeared, and he was already next to the Assassin when he reappeared.
There was no temptation, no back and forth, no fierce words to each other, the man stood in the air, and with a high whip, the assassin fell into the distance like a meteorite.
Without the slightest pause, the man chased after the assassin. Everything happened too fast, except for Wu Gan, who was hiding in the shadows and peeping, no
Attention was paid to the scene in the air, including the Assassin who had stormed the pavilion with a broadsword in hand.
The soldiers outside the pavilion finally noticed that something was wrong, and they all came out of their tents and gathered around the pavilion.
At this moment, I only heard a deafening sound from the pavilion. Two figures leapt into the air, each standing on a roof.
One of them was dressed in white, holding a halberd, with long hair and mighty hair, and it was Shui Congyue. The Assassin with the broadsword was fighting, and his face was a little confused, as he searched for his companion's traces.
Looking at the swaying vines outside the pavilion, Shui frowned slightly, his body twisted, and his body disappeared in an instant, heading straight for the assassin.
Due to its speed, the upright halberd was forcibly bent into a bow and slammed into the Assassin standing on the roof from the bottom up.
The Assassin hesitated, and had just stormed the pavilion when he was attacked by a halberd. The strength of the man in white in front of him was really terrifying.
Moreover, when facing this person, you can feel the infinite fighting intent of the other party, as if a war hammer is beating the heart, making people feel like falling into the ice and snow, and losing the will to resist, what kind of magic power is this.
It was with this slight hesitation that the Assassin lost his chance to escape. The halberd cleaved through the air, and with a flash of blue light at the edges, it smashed into the Assassin's lower plate.
In desperation, the Assassin had no choice but to use his sword to block it. There was a violent wind and thunder in the pavilion, a dull loud noise, accompanied by a miserable howl that did not resemble a human voice, and the assassin flew like a broken sack into the air, flying over the pavilion, flying past the rescue soldiers, and falling into the distant forest.
The water jumped up from the moon, and chased after the assassin without relenting.
At this time, the waning moon in the sky was also awakened by the sound of Fang Cai, and quickly took off the veil on the front of his body, and looked down curiously.
The moonlight poured down like flowing water, and the white figure turned the long sleeved robe into a pair of silver wings, which cut through the sky like a night heron and fluttered down in the distant forest.
Then there was another thunder in the forest, and trees fell one by one, bringing up clouds of smoke and dust that rushed into the sky.
Wu Yan walked out of the hideout, looking at the tragic scene in the forest, and couldn't help but complain a little in his heart. Although he knew that Shui Congyue drove the assassin into the forest for fear of hurting the people in the pavilion, but you said that if you fought so far, how could you let others see your heroism, but the effect was greatly reduced.
Walking Dada back to the pavilion, the soldiers were tearing at these strange vines. Fortunately, it is estimated that Shen Lang has taken down the person who performed the spell, and these vines with teeth and claws gradually withered, and they were soon cut out of a passage by the soldiers.
Walking into the courtyard, Ji Ye and Ji Yan stood on the roof, looking in the direction of the forest in the distance.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a dead body, but it was a post guard in the pavilion. Shen Lang was standing with a group of people, waiting for the battle in the distance to end.
After a while, the water carried a man from the moon and returned to the courtyard. With a flick of his hand, he threw the bloodied assassin to the ground.
Wu Gen stepped forward to take a look, and felt that the back socket was hurting. The man estimated that all the bones in his body were broken, and he was lying on the ground like a puddle of mud.
As for the dead post man, he was killed by a blow from the moon while trying to lead the Assassin to attack Himeya's guest room.
"Brother Congyue, it's been a hard work." Looking at Shui Congyue's unharmed body, Ji Ye originally wanted to be concerned about whether the other party was injured, but when the words came to his mouth, he changed his words.
Shui Congyue nodded, his face a little solemn, "There should be other assassins, but after searching around, I only found part of the remains of one person, and I don't know if there are still people lurking in the shadows."
Ji Yan on the side looked at Shui Congyue silently, her eyes did not leave her body for a moment, and her eyes rippled with affection. The shepherd woman is already daring, not to mention Ji Yan's cheerful temperament.
Ji Ye coughed and stepped forward to block his sister's view. Loudly ordered people to search around, took care of the guards in the pavilion for interrogation, and arranged for people to patrol and guard. For a time, the torches around the pavilion were lit and lively.
Wu Yan tossed by them, glanced at Shen Lang, turned around and went back to his room.
Early the next morning, Wu Gan stretched his waist
When I came out of the house, the smoke had already risen from the hall. After a night of tossing and turning, the body of the third assassin was found after a long search, but it was already dead. Originally, the person who was caught by the water from the moon still had some breath, but on the way back, he had also cut off his meridians.
As for Shen Lang, Wu Yan didn't ask, this guy wouldn't want to ask any assassins. As a result, the identities of these assassins, and who instructed them, became a confused account.
The post guards were finally released, and except for the dead man, the others were indeed innocent and did not participate in the assassination. But for the sake of safety, they were not allowed to take care of the breakfast, but left it to the soldiers who brought it.
Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying followed behind Wu Gan, looked around at no one, and asked in a low voice, "Village master, that water boy looks so powerful."
Wu Gen smiled slightly, "That is, in the future, he will be the most powerful person in our fearless army, you can learn more from him in the future, if I am not in the army, everything should be dominated by the water boy."
Looking at the suspicious eyes of the two, Wu Yan gently patted the heads of the two, "It is impossible for the owner of the village to stay in the army all the time, the person of the water boy looks arrogant, but the essence is excellent, you will know it after getting along for a long time."
In fact, what Wu Gen was thinking about at this time was how to let these fearless soldiers who he had cultivated in Kuntianzhou truly accept Shui Congyue's existence. This is the same as the dispute between the human race and the shepherd in the dreadnought army, and if it is not handled well, it will only increase internal friction.
This time, Shui Congyue appeared in the moon, precisely to let these arrogant soldiers under his command see his strength, so as to shorten the run-in process.
When a team is large, it is inevitable that various mountains will be formed due to region, race, and military success. This is the case in the hearts of the people, and from ancient times to the present, such a situation will occur in any army, and the dreadnought army will naturally not be exempt from vulgarity.
In particular, this army, influenced by Wu Gan's temperament, has a strong personal color, and is almost Wu Gan's private army. This is also the reason why Wu Gen took great pains to summon Chu Xi to establish rules and regulations in the Dreadnought Army, that is, he wanted to downplay his own existence and let the entire army run under discipline and military regulations.
After an assassination storm, Ji Ye led people to hurry to Xingshan. This time he made a fool of himself in front of Shui Congyue, which made him a little embarrassed on his face.
The team passed through the cold land city without entering, and went directly to the Xingshan Dreadnought military camp.
When they arrived at the foot of Xingshan, looking at the banners on the mountain and the military village with strong barriers, Baoxiang and the others were excited, and even Sun Hong, who had been a little sluggish, was a little more angry, only the bridge class was still that love to answer.
At the foot of the mountain, Xue Xin had already led people to line up, waiting for the arrival of the group. These newly recruited fearless soldiers, after Xue Xin's many days of training, already have some strong force.
Wu Gan made a look, and suddenly the gongs and drums at the foot of the mountain sounded, and more than a dozen birds flew out of the mountain under the drive of Suoji, and sprinkled pieces of petals on the edge of the flight, which was quite the smell of Xinlan paving.
Ji Ye glanced at Shui Congyue, whose face was pale, and sighed in his heart. This Wu Gen is also kind-hearted, but this time I am afraid that it was photographed on the horse's hooves.
However, Bao Xiang and the others liked this kind of pomp and circumstance, and couldn't help but wave their hands around.
When he entered the camp, Wu Yan waved his hand, and the whole army feasted for three days, and even Ji Ye and Ji Yan stayed to have fun with everyone.
Standing on the top of the mountain, Wu Jian looked at the jubilant military village and breathed a sigh of relief. The brothers are all together, and from today onwards, the Dreadnought Army will be officially formed.
