Chapter 884: Shadow Assassination
"Assassins, come on, catch assassins, someone has been assassinated."
"Assassins, I have Assassins here too...... Yes...... Be careful...... Assassin...... Assassins in ...... ...... in the shadows"
"Be on alert, all on alert, the assassins haven't gone far, they're lurking in the shadows, ah...... This is a group of shadow assassins...... They hide in the shadows around them...... Yes...... Hurry up and ask the master to ...... Master save me! ”
"Xiaoxiao dares to do evil...... Ah......h
"No one is allowed to run around, no one is allowed to run around, stay in place...... Those who dare to trespass on other tents will be killed...... Ah......h
"Hold the camp and don't let the out-of-control slaves get close, the shadow assassins are trying to stir things up, artificially create a camp roar, and fire arrows...... Ah......h
"The centurion is dead, the centurion is dead, I can't hold it, if you don't want to die, run...... Ah......h
"Don't panic, don't mess around, if anyone spreads rumors, they will be killed! Hold the Yingkou ...... Yes...... Despicable Assassin ......"
Before the Toukan chieftains could leave the camp of the Yamen Khan, a great commotion came from outside, shouts of rage and incessant screams, and the newly stable situation of the Toucan army was thrown into turmoil again.
This turmoil began with the ubiquitous bloody assassination of the slave barracks on the outskirts, which directly shocked these slave soldiers who had not recovered from the previous defeat, and one by one they involuntarily rushed towards the location of the main camp, trying to find a sense of security from those Tucans.
Those who tried to turn the tide and intercept the panicked slave soldiers often became the first targets of the Assassins hiding in the shadows.
These Assassins' grip on the shadows reached a terrifying level, allowing them to silently burrow into the shadows of their targets, then leap out and tear their victims' throats open with their poisonous blades, disappearing into the shadows before anyone else could react.
Leaving only the victim in place, helplessly clutching his neck and coughing blood, the previous command became utterly helpless.
In this way, they became the best warning signs, warning those slave soldiers, not to try to be useless commands, doing so will only make themselves die faster, and running away or hiding in the crowd is the best means of survival.
Guided by the brutal assassination tactics of the Shadow Assassins, panicked slave soldiers poured into the Toucan camp, and anyone who dared to stop them from escaping for their lives was their enemy, including the brutal masters of the Toucan, which was the standard Howling camp.
Panic and fear occupy their brains, and there is no way to think with normal thinking, they now have only one thought, that is, to stay away from the ubiquitous shadow and death, but they don't know that their fear and panic emotions have further aggravated the turmoil, thus causing greater panic and death.
The Toucan officers tried to organize their men and put down the riots with bloody means, only to follow in the footsteps of the slave commanders, the ubiquitous shadow assassins, who sent blades and poison directly into their bodies.
In this chaotic situation, once these low-level commanders were assassinated, the results were catastrophic, and when the Tucan soldiers were overwhelmed, the rioting slave soldiers rushed in and dragged them together into the turmoil.
For ordinary soldiers, these assassins, with their ability to weave through the shadows, were so threatening that they had no idea where the enemy was coming from or how much was lurking in the shadows.
Even if they knew that the enemy was attacking from the shadows, they could do nothing, because the shadows were everywhere—their own, their livestock, their tents......
Every time they saw a slightly distorted shadow, they were terrified, intensifying their fear and panic.
It wasn't until the murderous lamas and shamans started to intervene that things got a little better.
Those Vajra that killed and injured lamas belonged to the spirit body, and after leaving the body, they could perceive the enemy lurking in the shadows.
And those shamans are through perception, perceiving the breath of those shadow assassins, so as to lock their location.
The shadow assassins were clearly aware of their threat, and had been hiding from them from the start, only secretly manipulating the panicked crowd to attack them.
As for the control method, it is very simple, that is, to use a bloody assassination to tell them that this way is not going to work, and go and find other ways.
The Shadow Assassin is clearly proficient in coordination and has a private way of communication, using a series of tactics such as the absence of one in the circle and the use of strength to the extreme.
By the time Yamen Khan got the news and rushed out of the tent, the whole army was in a mess.
Yamen Khan, who turned into a killing whirlwind, rose directly into the sky, he did not go to the trouble of those shadow assassins, but directly jumped to the sky above the most turbulent at a terrifying speed, and gritted his teeth and said: "A group of fools, you don't look at it, whose army is this, dare to cause chaos here with me, get out of here." ”
The overwhelming killing power surged wildly, instantly dyeing everything around him into blood red, and a group of strange-shaped creatures were forced out of stealth by him.
A viscous gray matter cortex, a bare brain-like shape, dancing tentacles, golden eyes, and a large mouth with sharp teeth.
What is that not a horror demon?
And it's also a high-level horror demon with a body size of more than two meters.
Obviously, this roar is not only the work of the shadow assassins, but also the masters who are good at creating fear.
In other words, behind many camps, it is very likely that these monsters are doing it, but most people have no way to find them in the stealth, so the reason is simply attributed to fear.
It is likely that these High Horrors were not summoned by humans, but were created by the Tucan army themselves.
The high density of formations and large numbers on the base, successive setbacks, prolonged low morale, heavy casualties in the sniper battle at Lake Assen, confusion and fear for the future, and so on.
The combination of these conditions is the best breeding ground for the birth of these alien monsters.
The shadow assassins were just taking the opportunity to get the most out of them.
As for whether it was a timely meeting or intentional, it is unknown.
The viscous gray skin of the horrors forced out of their hideouts bulged high, and all their large mouths opened at the same time, letting out a high-pitched howl that did not resemble human voices.
The already turbulent situation below became even more turbulent, and both those who saw the figures of the horrors and the slave soldiers who heard their screams fell into a state of extreme fear, as if they were crazy, and launched indiscriminate attacks on those around them, trying to create more disturbance and panic.
The horrors born from fear, all of them are born to create greater fear, they have the power of a dragon-like ferocity, and all those who witness the horrors will fall into panic uncontrollably once their will immunity fails.
Their voices are a special form of attack, similar to the sound effects in horror movies, which further amplifies the power of fear, especially when the two abilities work together.
The sound of the horror is different for everyone, because it is combined with the most fearful voice in the heart of the person who hears it.
If the listener is most afraid of the sound of glass scraping, then what he hears must be the sound of this claw scratching the glass amplified to the extreme, which goes directly into the soul, even if it is a deaf ear, it can be heard.
If he had heard the gloomy and twisted sneer of the woman he feared the most, he would have been able to get his wish.
If the hearer is most afraid of the ghost's voice, they will follow him.
And the amount of fear that arose in the process became the most delicious food for these horrors, and became their strength, and their size began to swell like a balloon.
"You're looking for death." The Khan of Yamen was so enraged that these terrorists fed the fears of his army as food in front of him, which simply did not take him as the son of the god of slaughter.
The enraged Yamen Khan didn't even manipulate the Killing Spirit, and directly brandished the Tukan scimitar and rushed towards the nearest High Horror Demon.
Burst!
The astonishing size of the high-level horror demon was easily cut in two like rotten wood under the slash of Yamen Khan, and died on the spot.
The corpse, which turned into two pieces, fell towards the ground, and when it landed, there was a loud sound.
I have to sigh again at the creation of the multiverse.
The horror demon, a strange creature born with a terrifying emotion, actually possessed a physical body, and after death, it did not revert to nothingness, but retained a substantial corpse.
"The monster is dead, this monster is dead, he was killed by the Heavenly Khan, he is just a monster with substance, everyone has to panic, everyone follow me to pray to the Heavenly Khan, he will protect us."
"Those who dare to continue to spread panic, this is what will happen to them."
"Tian Khan is invincible, Tian Khan is invincible."
"The Heavenly Khan is mighty."
I don't know if it was this high-level horror demon who was killed on the spot, waking up those who were in control?
It was the violent tactics of the Khan of Yamen who aroused the fear of him in their hearts, thus suppressing another fear.
Many people who were originally panicked actually regained some of their senses, and did not dare to run wildly anymore, but knelt on the ground and trembled.
Yamen Khan frantically attacked the remaining horror demons without pausing, and soon the horror demons in his sight were slaughtered, a total of four high-level horror demons, and six newly born horror demons.
Everywhere he passed, all the people dared to prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling, and did not dare to cause the slightest disturbance.
Because he is a more terrifying being than those monsters, they were previously manipulated by those monsters, and they briefly forgot their fear of him, and now this fear dominates everything.
The whirlwind of slaughter brought by the Khan of Yamen swirled wildly over the Tucan army, staring at everything around him, as if trying to pull out the assassins who were lurking in the shadows.
Sadly, however, in the time he had slain the horrors, all the Shadow Assassins had vanished as if they had not existed.
"A bunch of despicable villains, who only dare to play this kind of conspiracy." Yamen Khan said angrily, "If you dare to do this, you must pay the price, this blood debt is not made by me, but it must be counted on your heads, come and drag all the people of this town out for me, and kill them on the spot, leaving no chickens and dogs, this is the consequence of their confrontation with us." ”
Yamen Khan did not give up, and directly vented his endless anger on the villagers of Shuangxing Town.
It's impossible to guess what these shadow assassins are about.
It is very likely that the advance force sent by the Feron coalition army was to create a disturbance for them, delay their westward advance, and buy time for their own landing.
It is also possible that the Sesk Kingdom is secretly causing trouble for him, and in this land, there is a religious organization called the Shadow Master Guild, which is a follower of the god of thieves Marcus, this organization is rich in shadow assassins, and they do not want this land to fall into the hands of the Tucanians.
It is also possible that the Lytherman ghosts are still in their possession, and those Lytherman witches are not good at using shadow power, but the young commander who supports them has the power of the undead shadow in his hands, which is very similar to the shadow power, and it is inseparable.
"No, I don't want to die, Mom, Dad, I don't want to die."
"You liars, you liars, you liars, you said that if we give up our resistance, you will spare our lives."
"I curse you, I curse you for not dying well, I curse you all to die on this land, and you will never return to your homeland."
The villagers of Shuangxing Town, who were pushed out by the Tukan people, cried loudly and begged for mercy, shouting and cursing.
Neither the Yamen Khan nor the Tukans were unmoved, and there was bloodthirsty cruelty and mockery in their expressions, as if mocking them for believing in the promises of the wolves.
Wolves can never give up eating meat, it's in their nature.
Especially just now, they were unexpectedly panicked by a group of enemies and a few monsters hiding in the shadows, which is a very shameful thing.
This shame must be washed away with blood.
"Kill!"
With the order of Yamen Khan.
The Tukan squirrels held their steppe scimitars high and fell like snow chains in the sunlight that had just appeared.
One by one, the heads full of endless fear and unwillingness rose to the sky, and the blood spurting out of their necks was like small pillars, and the blood was strange and poignant.
Yamen Khan, who was watching all this coldly in the air, waved his big hand, and these pillars of blood, along with the souls in the corpses, were forcibly ingested from the body, floated into the air, turned into a drizzle, and fell on those Tukan and slave soldiers.
After the rain of blood fell on them, it directly merged into their bodies, and the fear in their eyes was completely gone, replaced by endless anger and bloodlust.
Yamen Khan ordered the slaughter of the city, not just to vent his anger, but also to carry out killing sacrifices, in order to completely dispel the fear of those soldiers and prevent the creation of new horrors.
Replacing it with another emotion is the most convenient.
After this was done, Yamen Khan said loudly: "We have passed the greatest difficulty of this westward expansion, and the next thing will be endless plains and countless cities full of wealth await us.
We are wolves from the savannah, and they are just a pack of weak lambs who can only let us eat.
All the cities conquered along the way will not be blocked, and the wealth will be captured, and I will not take a penny, and it will all belong to the person who seized it.
I will bless you as the Heavenly Khan, and you will be invincible and invincible! ”
"Invincible, invincible!"
"Invincible, invincible!"
"Invincible, invincible!"
The Tucans let out howls of excitement to the extreme.
This is a typical combination of grace and power, magic and wealth stimulation come together, and the effect is as good as ever.
Although Yamen Khan is tyrannical and ruthless, he has always been true to his word, especially in the area of wealth, he has always been extremely generous, saying that he will not take a penny, and he will definitely not leave a copper plate to himself.
"Assemble the army, send troops at sunrise." After the order was given, the Khan of Yamen flew towards the north with a killing whirlwind.
Because there were a series of eagles and whistles, which meant that the Knight of Tucan had discovered something in that direction, he instinctively felt that this was the same thing as this attack, and decided to go and check the situation himself.
As soon as Yamen Khan left Twin Star Town a few kilometers away, he collided head-on with a group of Toucan Eagle Knights and asked, "What have you found?" ”
"Hui Tian Khan." The Toucan Eagle Knight at the head replied succinctly, "Ten kilometers to the north, a brand new hard stone road has been discovered, newly paved, and the chariot regiment that had sniped us on the lake has just passed. ”
"They are so bold that they dare to intersperse under the noses of my army, so in this way, the previous shadow assassination was also made by them, which is to cover their troops, so that we have no way to send troops to intercept them." Yamen Khan instantly sorted out the cause and effect.
Leaving the Toucan Eagle Knight behind, he flew towards the north, and soon found a new road, the kind of oil wafer road, which was not very spacious, only about four meters, and barely enough to accommodate the enemy's building-style chariots to speed through it.
Within five kilometers of the road, a huge convoy of animals, which far exceeded the size of ordinary convoys, in terms of the size of cattle and vehicles, was moving wildly along the new road, and the speed was not much slower than that of the galloping horses. (End of chapter)
