(When I turned over the previous plot, I found that the names of two passers-by were repeated, and I changed them, I don't know if you found out.) ）

The darkness engulfed everything visible at night, and the modest lights of the Alestale barracks were like the only light in the depths of the sea, attracting the attention of the strange creatures around them.

Dressed in special night suits, the dead soldiers walked through the woods at the edge of the cliffs, hiding their bodies as much as possible, and these specially trained soldiers had the ability to specialize in one direction.

The footsteps stepped on the grass and trees, but there was no rustling sound, and the body slightly scratched against the branches and leaves of the trees, and while the plants and trees shook slightly, they did not cause other things around them to shake.

"Peaceful Tardigrade", a technique reserved for Assassins in Seventan, involved a force that involved both vindictive spirit and magic.

The effect of the combination of the two forces is also extremely amazing, as long as the speed of action is controlled to the level of slow walking, then all the effects of using the Gentle Walker on the outside world will be greatly weakened, including the sense of presence.

Under the cover of darkness, the dead men approached Alestale's barracks in a very strange manner, as if they were walking.

Obviously, there is nothing to hide their figures, but if you look at them with the naked eye, it is difficult to capture their figures.

The black-clad Nightkin was unusually simple in their equipment, with only a strange forked dagger in their hands as a weapon.

The shape of the dagger is very peculiar, the blade is split in the middle, divided into three, and the groove on the surface of the dagger blade is not a bloodletting groove, but some inscriptions with strange patterns.

It's beautiful, and it makes these daggers look less like weapons, more like ritual vessels.

As time passed, the night became more dead and silent, and the darkness that enveloped the land deepened, and the magical moon was particularly dim today, and the clouds obscured most of the moonlight, making the approach of these nightkin extremely imperceptible.

The faces of the nightcrawlers were covered by hoods, and the black robes covering them obscured their physical features, making it difficult to distinguish their ages from men and women.

The fire in the barracks dimmed again, as if because the time had come, and the soldiers in the army chose to rest, and the small friction between the two armies for a long time seemed to make Arestler's army let down too much vigilance.

The barracks did not react at all to these approaching covert nocturnals, four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters, there was no movement in the barracks, only the occasional sound of movement and the clash of weapons and intermittent snoring.

The Nightkin walked slowly, but kept getting closer and closer to their destination, the outpost of the Alestret army, the outpost of the Sigh Canyon.

The dagger in his hand was ready to fire, the muscles gradually tightened, and it was smooth, and time had reduced the vigilance of these Alestalite soldiers to a minimum, and the easy killing of the patrolling soldier before was already very telling.

The official knight, who had submerged his body in the void with his inner submersion, locked his eyes tightly in the direction of the barracks, followed the footsteps of these nightcrawlers, and gradually approached the outpost of the Sighing Canyon.

As soon as the distance comes, these dead soldiers will lay the first cornerstone of the war at the cost of their lives.

The distance of 100 meters gradually reduced to zero, and it was very smooth, and the approach of the nightkin did not attract even the slightest attention from the barracks.

When they were far enough to unleash an unreactive blitzkrieg, all the dead men lifted their peaceful tardles, raised their slightly strange daggers, and began to charge.

Even during the rapid charge, the nightkin did not make much noise, and the sound of their footsteps hitting the ground was unusually faint.

Although the strength of most of the dead soldiers is between mid-level trainee knights and high-level trainee knights, their running speed after special training is far beyond that of their peers.

The first Nightkin managed to sprint to the edge of the barracks, the tent in front of him was already close at hand, and without hesitation, the dagger swung forward.

The dagger was strange enough, sharp enough, to easily cut through the thick cloth of the tent, allowing the Nightkin to rush into the barracks in a single leap.

The strange dagger in his hand was raised, his gaze quickly swept around, and the muscles in his body were ready to explode at any time, no matter what, as long as he could kill one of these soldiers who had relaxed their vigilance, it would ......

A slight surprise appeared on the nightkkin's face completely obscured by the hood, and the imaginary soldiers who let down their guard and rested in the tent did not appear in the eyes.

The contents of the tent were still there, the armor, the blades, but the soldiers were nowhere to be seen.

The torch in the middle of the tent crackled and burned, illuminating the scene in the tent, and the sound of burning wood cracking clearly made the dead silence in the tent even more prominent.

"What about people?" The dagger in his hand didn't know where to fall, and in a short time this brief question flashed through the mind of the nightkin who had been the first to storm into the tent and start killing.

"Not good." This is the second thought, there must be a demon when things go wrong, although I don't understand what the hell is going on, but these dead soldiers who have trained hard understand that when the unexpected happens, the next thing will become very troublesome.

The same scene appeared in front of every nightkin who rushed into the tent, the strange dagger in his hand stabbed down from nowhere, and the contents of the tent were intact, but they just couldn't see their most important target this time, the soldiers of Alestale's army.

The Seventan knight who had come to the barracks with the Nightkin had a premonition of danger that was growing stronger when he realized that something was wrong, and he didn't understand what was wrong, but the barracks was definitely not normal at this time.

"Temporarily withdraw from the barracks!" The order was given in a desperate thought, and all the Nightkin who had rushed into the tent began to leave quickly.

But soon, the Nightkin people, including the official knight, found out that things were bad.

At some point, some thick walls of earth and stone had risen on the ground around the barracks, and these unusually hard walls surrounded the entire garrison of the outpost of Sigh Canyon, trapping the nightkin who had broken into the barracks.

The stone wall is not very high, about three meters, which is nothing for these knights whose physique far exceeds that of normal earth humans.

One of the Nightkin quickly evacuated following the commander's instructions, leaping up as he approached the two-meter-high wall of earth and stone, and stomped on the wall twice, raising the two-meter-high jump again, almost instantaneously crossing the barrier.

"Woohoo, Boom!" However, just as the Nightkin was about to cross the earthen wall, several arrows flew out of the darkness at great speed, and the sound of breaking through the air was faint, making it difficult to detect in the darkness.

The flying arrows accurately hit the nightkin who was trying to climb over the stone wall, and the arrows with strange concealment abilities did not give the high-ranking midshipman with his back to the direction of the attack a chance to react, and the back of the heart, neck, and all the vital points of the body were pierced.

The corpse was pinned to the wall, and the strange dagger in his hand fell limply after the life had vanished from the dead man's body.

The sudden and tragic death of their companion caused the Nightkin to react quickly, and although they did not understand how they were discovered, it was clear that the other party was ready to use the siege created by these stone walls to annihilate them.

"How did these stone walls come into being in such a short period of time...... Earth Elemental Magic Array? No, it's impossible, it can't be so little mana for a stone wall of this hardness, and I haven't detected enough mana fluctuations to drive the magic array before. ”

The official knight who was stealthily following the Nightkin quickly pondered the situation as he watched the Nightkin quickly seek cover to avoid exposing himself to enemy fire.

"Damn, these stone walls are prepared in advance, and it would be nice to raise them directly if needed, so that there will be very little magic that needs to be used to power the earth element."

He finally figured out what was going on with the sudden appearance of the stone wall, but it didn't help the bad situation at the moment.

The official knight, who has remained hidden by his own name "The Invisible One", has been gathering information on his own stealth, and the other Nightkin are looking for cover to hide their figures, but he is watching the direction of the crossbow arrow.

On the other side of the stone wall in the distance, a circle of Arestler's soldiers stood on it, holding Arestler's military bow and crossbow.

It is the same type as the one that Evia first used to deal with Obi-Wan, but after time optimization, the "hidden" and "piercing" characteristics of these enchanted military bows and crossbows have been further strengthened.

The crossbow arrows that silently killed a Nightkin just now were fired from these standard military bows.

The pupils of the official knight of Seventan trembled slightly, he saw through the darkness with the dark vision spell scroll he used in advance, and also saw the appearance of one of the soldiers standing on the high platform, which was very familiar, it was the patrol soldier who was instantly killed by him after discovering them.

"He shouldn't have been killed...... If he made a mistake in judgment, it should have been something like an internal submersible or a stand-in spell, but he was instead used as a bait, which is in trouble. ”

The official knight, who was in secrecy, finally understood how they had been discovered, and that the unusually "careless" patrol soldier was simply the bait for these night raiders, and they had already been discovered when he "killed" the patrol soldier.

"Shoot a round first, and then throw alchemy fuel into the dead corner of the shot, although my fake strength is very weak, but I was killed so easily, there should be at least one official knight among them, be careful."

Kevin looked at the barracks surrounded by stone walls below, and coldly gave the order to shoot, and at the same time, in order to avoid the problem of not being able to shoot through behind the bunkers, he once again supplemented the methods of attacking the enemies behind these bunkers.

Kevin is the captain of the Canyon of Sighs outpost, himself a member of the Night's Blade, who was transferred to the front after the start of the war and was appointed as the chief responsible for the outpost closest to the Seventan army due to his special infiltration.

His inner submersion is the "dual-phase one", which can create a fake body that is no different from the body in appearance and even the way of thinking except for all physical qualities, and order this fake body to patrol, in fact, is the best vigilance.

When the fake is killed, everything the fake went through will be remembered in his memory.

When the official knight of Seventan killed Kevin's fake form, Kevin had already discovered the group of intruders.

Arrows covered the Seventan Nightcrawlers trapped in the barracks surrounded by stone walls, sharp and powerful crossbow arrows, and ordinary wooden objects could not be used as defenses.

The weak cover was easily penetrated, and several Nightkin with too thin cover were punctured into the cover and became hedgehogs after this round of shooting.

There were several more volleys, and the night walkers of Seventan could not find a chance to escape, and the salvos of the Alestale soldiers who alternated the two steps of reloading and shooting were almost uninterrupted, and these knight-level night walkers wanted to escape with a wishful thinking at all.

And even if most of the Nightkin dodged the first wave of attacks and survived with their solid cover, it was only the first wave of shots.

Kevin's orders had already indicated how to deal with these enemies hiding behind cover, so that the flames could cover the group of hiding guys.

The alchemical incineration contained in the clay pot was thrown evenly from the high platform by the Alestalite soldiers.

The clay pot shattered when it touched the ground, and the alchemy burning agent inside splashed out, flowing everywhere, and the pungent smell of alchemy solvent suddenly spread throughout the camp.

These nightkkins already sensed that something was wrong, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and wait for the scorching to come.

Several torches were then thrown from above, and the extremely flammable alchemy solvent evenly covered the entire camp, and the flames rose suddenly when the torches came into contact with the incinerants.

For a short time, scorching flames swept through the entire outpost surrounded by stone walls, and the cloth of the tent, the wooden supports inside, and some of the equipment were all melted and shattered under the flames.

These were all supplies for the army, but the price was not worth caring about compared to the night raiders who killed the enemy army in Seventan.

Kevin's eyes reflected the fires burning in the barracks, and these flames were as hot as the mood in his heart at the moment, and his mind under the cold surface could not be calmed at all.

Seventan's sudden night attack would break the stalemate of the war once and for all, and a brief victory would not bring him joy, and the next head-on conflict would bring unimaginable casualties......

Calming down the agitated mind, Kevin's cold gaze swept back to the burning barracks, the enemy's situation was covered by the flames, and he did not let down his vigilance, the fate of these enemies who were burned by the flames was the consequence of letting down his vigilance.

The alchemy incinerant burned extremely violently and rapidly, and the flames that rose up consumed almost the oxygen inside the stone wall.

The flames gradually weakened, and after the alchemical incineration inside was burned out, only the ashes were left to smolder with the embers.

Kevin glanced around, and the entire camp was covered in pitch-black ash, and sparks were still dancing from the updraft, making the situation inside difficult to detect.

Although the news has been spread to the other military headquarters, it will take time for other troops to arrive, and there are no military mages who are more precious than knights, so they cannot use probing spells to detect.

Then we had to go down and confirm the condition of the nightkin who were covered by the flames.

"Be careful, defend the formation, confirm the situation of the enemy army, and ensure safety."

The soldiers raised their shields and formed a formation centered around Kevin, descending from the high platform of the stone wall to the barracks, where there were still remnants of the fire and ashes.

The soldier was alert to his surroundings and cautiously glanced around, watching for attacks by possible survivors.

Kevin's gaze flickered, he had noticed something was wrong, and sure enough, the flames weren't enough to kill the official knight of Seventan who killed his fake with a single blow before he could react at all.

The hidden inner subterfuge does not make his existence truly nothing, but it is difficult to observe, so his whereabouts have been detected at this moment.

The ground covered in ash could easily show signs when exposed to pressure, and the sparks floating in the air also faintly showed the silhouette of his figure, and he was approaching this side.

Kevin reminded the soldiers beside him through covert gestures, and the well-trained soldiers understood, pretending not to notice the approaching formal knights at all, but maintained a defensive formation, with Kevin as the core, and constantly moved forward in the barracks.

The moment Kevin passed by the hidden, the official knight of Seventan suddenly lifted the concealment, and the mutilated body full of hideous burn marks jumped out of nothingness, and the strange dagger in his hand was raised high, piercing Kevin's chest without hesitation.

"Poof!" Several prepared swords stabbed out and pierced into the body of the leaping official knight, whose armor had already been burned.

The swords of these probationary knight soldiers did not penetrate deep into the flesh of the regular knight, and the real fatal thing was Kevin's piercing sword, which was ready to pierce the sternum and completely destroy the lungs of the official knight of Seventan.

The strange dagger in his hand did not fall, and a strange smile appeared on the face of the official knight who had been stabbed into his body by the sword.

"At the cost of my soul, let the erosion fall!" The low but decisive words, the raised strange dagger pierced his chest without hesitation, and the blood flowed through the intricate and exquisite carvings on the strange forked dagger, and an indescribable power began to appear.

The formal knight's pupils had lost their lustre, and his soul had been stripped from his body, drawn into the blade by the strange dagger.

His purpose was only to get close to Kevin, and the target of the raised dagger was not Kevin, but himself, and the Night Stalkers, too, ......

In the midst of the smoldering ashes, the Nightkin dead, who still had their last breath, raised the strange daggers in their hands and plunged them into their bodies.
