Chapter 11: Arson
After another day of waiting, they were finally able to determine that there were two handovers of the stronghold every day, each at half past two in the morning and half past five in the afternoon, and that the enemy was changing the guard at the same time.
It seems that it is no longer possible to leave only one sentry and follow it during the changing of the guard.
They have to hurry up and try to bring in troops within a day, otherwise it will be too late, and God knows if the enemy will change the law of the secret sentinel again.
So, the two quickly rushed back to the city and went straight to the city lord's mansion. After the token is revealed, the road is unimpeded, the guards dare not stop it, and the weakest of the Jianghu Keqing can survive a stick of incense under the city lord, you must know that the strength of the city lord is generally at the peak of the day after tomorrow or the early stage of congenital, otherwise he is not qualified to hold this position at all.
The two of them passed by the butler and led the way, came to the living room, and met the city lord.
The city lord was a young woman, dressed in red, who looked quite beautiful in the past, and was looking at the two of them with a smile at this time.
"The two guests look like dusty people, is there something important?" the city lord smiled.
Lin Xiuran immediately revealed their plans and asked for assistance.
"The plan is good, but I don't know if the two of you have enough strength. "The city lord did not send troops easily.
This is also normal, no one will casually believe the words of strangers. Moreover, sending troops is not a trivial matter, and if there is no suitable reason, the army will be dispatched at will, and if it is called a rebellion by political opponents, then it will be a lot of fun.
Let's not mention the above situation, let's talk about these two people, if their strength is not congenital, they are nothing, and they are not her people, but her soldiers will be unlucky, you must know that raising soldiers is very expensive.
Under all kinds of scruples, the city lord needs to try the strength of the two to make a decision, after all, direct refusal will also offend people, and no one knows whether their strength is strong or weak.
Gossip was not mentioned, and the two of them from the city came to the martial arts training ground to have a competition.
Needless to say, both of them won.
It is a task, whether it is a system task or a task of the imperial court, he will complete it seriously, so Lin Xiuran did not leave his hand.
If you want to defeat them, you have to be at least mid-congenital.
This time the city lord no longer doubted it, and the guest order was not fake, so he agreed to send troops.
The city lord gave Lin Xiuran an official document, to put it bluntly, it was a bright yellow piece of paper, with the city lord's seal printed on it, allowing the two of them to have the power to command up to three hundred regular troops (infantry, cavalry, navy, archers) for three days.
The two of them immediately went to the barracks and brought in 200 archers and 100 infantry, told them to rest well, and set out at about 2:25 a.m. tomorrow morning.
As for how the soldiers know the concept of time at 2:25, there is no need to worry at all, the system allows the use of non-authentic cross-era things like stopwatches, and will help make camouflage mechanisms, but not too much, such as using airplanes and tanks.
After leaving a stopwatch for a centurion and teaching him how to read it, the two of them returned to the vicinity of the stronghold and waited.
By the time the changing of the guard was over in the early hours of the morning, the two of them began to move.
In order to expand the range of vigilance, the distance between the dark posts is not very close, which facilitates the movement of the two of them.
At night, the bright moonlight shone on the ground, covering the earth with a white veil.
Lin Zixian first touched the big tree that hid people in the outermost part. Her movements were silent, constricting the breath of her whole body, and the purple eyes in her eyes dimmed.
In her sight, three men in black were lying on the trees, and even at night, they swept around with vigilant gazes.
"Stealth Kill!" (Guiyuan Twin Knife Trick's fourth artistic conception move, strengthen the hidden effect by 3%, such as using a knife-type hidden weapon, it will increase the flight speed by 4% and the hidden effect by 8%, the buff effect can be stacked with the equipment effect, the duration is five minutes, the cooldown time is one minute, each time it starts requires 18 points of internal force, and the current internal force value is 612/630)
Lin Zixian took out three [Quenched Poison Knives] from the storage space (Red Level Superior, when used, the introduction of a small amount of internal force can increase the flight speed by 10%, and has strong concealment, when hitting the enemy, it can trigger the armor-piercing effect judgment, if the enemy's endurance is less than the attacker, it can ignore the enemy's defense, causing the attacker's endurance Γ0.8 + strength Γ 0.5 armor-piercing damage, on this basis, the poison can have a chance to make the enemy enter the negative effects such as stun, fatigue, and paralysis, a total of five. οΌ
Lin Zixian threw out the small pebbles that he had picked up on the road just now, and then exerted force in the muscles of his palms, and at the same time silently threw out three [quenched knives].
"Broad!" The three of them stared at each other, and subconsciously looked down, but unexpectedly, the next moment, their hearts felt a slight coolness.
[The poisoned knife successfully hits the enemy!] triggers the armor-piercing effect judgment, and the judgment is ...... Your stamina is 20, and the stamina of the three enemies is 10, 12, and 13 respectively, and ΓΓthe judgment is passed! One of them goes into a vertigo state that lasts for 1.2 seconds. γ
Lin Zixian saw the system prompt, the corners of his mouth curled, and he quickly moved forward and twisted the necks of the two people who were seriously injured with both hands, and before the dizziness of the remaining person passed, he first used huge force to break his left hand with both hands, cover his mouth, and twist his neck.
A small spherical object slipped from his hand, and Lin Zixian immediately reached out to take it.
[Thunderbolt Bead: It can make a loud noise after pinching and exploding, and it is non-lethal. γ
[You have killed three early Chi-level martial artists. γ
Lin Zixian gently put their corpses away, pulled out the [Quenched Knife], and continued the assassination.
Lin Zixian did the same, and solved the remaining secret whistles within five minutes. Walking to the path, Lin Xiuran was already waiting there, and there was a person lying next to him.
Lin Zixian pulled the man up and walked towards a cluster of bushes.
It was only a few minutes, during which Lin Xiuran only heard a few muffled screams. Then I saw Lin Zixian dragging the man back.
The man foamed at the mouth, his face was distorted, and his body twitched, "Why aren't you dead yet?" After speaking, Lin Zixian stabbed him in the heart and sent him back to the west.
'Sister, what did you do to him?'
You won't want to know. β
I think. β
'No, you don't want to. β
After a casual mix, the two of them snuck into the basin, and before long, a number of wooden houses came into view.
'Ah Ran, there are a total of one hundred and fifty-one people here, we have killed twenty-one people, and there are one hundred and thirty people, one person in the early stage of the congenital, two people at the peak of the day after tomorrow, twelve people in the eighth day after tomorrow, and the rest are all the seven and below the day after tomorrow, and the center is the residence of their leader, with him as the center, the closer the people living in the surrounding wooden houses are to him, the stronger the strength. Let's go and kill the strongest one first. β
'Well, got it. β
After walking a few more steps, Lin Xiuran listened to the wind whistling in his ears, it seemed to be autumn at this time, there were a lot of dead branches and leaves, and then he saw the wooden house with the lights still lit, and a plan came to his mind.
'Wait, sister, we might be able to make a change to the plan. β
'Huh, how?'
We can use fire. β
Hearing him say this, Lin Zixian looked around and found that the use of fire was indeed very suitable.
'Okay, that's not bad. β
Lin Xiuran and the two separated again and sneaked into the nearby wooden house. On a large wooden bed, there were seven sleeping people
Lin Xiuran took out a dagger, "Sneak kill!"
These people slept neatly, although some of them slept on their sides, but their necks were lined up, and it was easy to kill, so he replaced the dagger with a long knife, which could make more force.
"Kill!"
"Puff puff ......"
The blade silently slashed across their necks, causing them to die in their sleep.
[You have killed seven early Red Rank martial artists. γ
Lin Xiuran brought the oil lamp, pulled out the wick, and sprinkled the lamp oil on the wooden house.
Lin Xiuran walked to the next wooden house......
After the two of them used this method to assassinate the people of the ten wooden houses, the strong smell of blood had attracted the attention of the others.
The two of them made a decision and lit the lamp oil. The flames were spreading rapidly, and with the help of the wind and the dry wood, it didn't take long for the fire to become a raging fire!
The fire lit up the basin, and at the same time, the sudden rise in temperature also woke everyone up.
"It's on fire! It's on fire!"
"Hurry up and put out the fire!
"Go fetch water! Go fetch water!"
......
Shouts rang out everywhere, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
The leader rushed out of the wooden house with a gloomy face, and when he saw the huge fire, his face became extremely cold again, and he didn't have to think about it to know that this must have been done by someone from the imperial court.
"Chao, Ting!"
The leader looked left and right, trying to find the arsonist, but all he saw was his companions who were hurrying to put out the fire.
