There was hardly any sound in the silent night sky, except for the crackling of the fires burning wood, except for the slight breathing of the people who had fallen to the ground crookedly.

About a quarter of an hour later, twelve people appeared next to the group, and the twelve people, who were almost covered in black, glanced at the people in front of them with extremely indifferent eyes.

"Do it!" said the masked man in black who was standing at the front, and then everyone, including him, went out and began the 'harvest'!

The so-called 'harvest' is a tactical term for 'nightingale'.

To put it simply, it is the act of destroying those who cannot resist the enemy for various reasons!

As a member of the 'Nightingale', they have long abandoned the so-called 'glory of warriors', and never feel that there is anything wrong with taking advantage of people's danger or intrigues.

In the mind of the 'Nightingale', as long as the goal can be achieved, it doesn't matter what the so-called process is!

The Purple Gold Continent is a continent that respects martial arts. I don't know when people gradually established their so-called 'rules' and 'etiquette'! Especially in the rivers and lakes of the Zijin Empire, there are many 'rules of the rivers and lakes'!

Interestingly, the so-called 'rules of the rivers and lakes' were only followed by those scattered people or fledgling novices who walked the rivers and lakes, and in the eyes of the major forces, there were often violations of the rules.

For the so-called 'rules of the rivers and lakes', on the surface, all forces and people in the rivers and lakes are maintained, and even often flaunt and publicize some classic 'rivers and lakes stories', forming a set of seemingly glamorous but more like flickering rivers and lakes culture.

As a traverser, a selfish person who is not a hero in nature, Gu Yi is not interested in the so-called 'rules of the rivers and lakes' at all, and he does not even hide his behavior of using the 'rules of the rivers and lakes'.

The establishment of the 'Nightingale' is the most obvious example of the so-called 'rules of the rivers and lakes'!

As a team that is purely based on achieving the goal, the first thing that all the members of the 'Nightingale' want to abandon is the so-called 'Jianghu Rules' and 'Glory of the Warriors'!

As a matter of fact, there are often 'immoral' things such as 'poisoning', 'assassination' and 'sneak attack' in the rivers and lakes, which are also spurned by the people. It's just that most of the time this kind of behavior is not publicized, and everyone just knows it.

And the 'Nightingale' is the team that uses the so-called 'immoral' behavior to the extreme!

As a traverser, Gu Yi doesn't care about the so-called 'rules of the rivers and lakes' and 'morality' at all, he appreciates the successful ones more!

The experience of more than 100 rivers and lakes in his previous life made Gu Yi know a fact: if you don't have the aura of the protagonist and are not the son of luck in the plane, don't be hypocritical!

In the real rivers and lakes, only the kind of thick-faced and black-hearted people who do not compromise their means for the sake of profit can survive, and the so-called heroes and so-called righteous people are not something that ordinary people can do! More people in the rivers and lakes who are hypocritical about these things will have extremely miserable results!

The establishment and training of the 'Nightingale' was carried out by Gu Yi himself at the very beginning, and it was another kind of education that was completely different from the kind of people in the 'Valley of the Kings': real killing education!

In the training of the 'Nightingale', there is never such a thing as 'morality' or 'rules', only the criterion of 'completing the task'!

For these reasons, the people in 'Nightingale' are not real warriors, but more simple killers!

To achieve the goal, poison, assassination, trapping...... Blah blah blah, whatever can be used as long as the purpose is achieved!

The more than 100 people who fell unconscious on the ground in front of them are one of the most typical methods of 'Nightingale': poisoning!

This kind of smoke with an extremely light taste, an extremely strong effect, and almost impossible to resist under the half-step Grand Master, was named: 'Ecstasy'. This is one of the most common and efficient tools of the Nightingale!

Once the 'ecstasy' is cast in the air, an area within a radius of two or three kilometers will be shrouded in this special toxin, and anyone who smells this extremely faint aroma will be able to take two or three breaths, and it is difficult to be spared if they are not a half-step grand master and the supreme great master above them, who can use the aura of heaven and earth!

Even the 'Nightingale' own people take the antidote first when they want to cast the 'ecstasy', and the effect of the medicine can only be shown after a quarter of an hour, and they come into contact with the poison of the 'ecstasy' in their bodies, which shows the terrible nature of this kind of smoke.

It was just a few dozen breaths, and the team of more than 100 people died at the hands of twelve 'nightingales' and lost their lives.

The Nightingale was extremely brutal and professional, stabbing the back of his enemy's neck with a very special triangular spike, and after a forceful turn, a bloody hole about the size of a thumb appeared in the back of the enemy's neck. This time, in a twist, the person who was attacked not only had his neck and spine destroyed, but also a blood hole that could not be stopped at all, and there was absolutely no chance of survival!

This is the most professional and commonly used technique of the 'Nightingale', and the small bayonet used is also a special miniature version of the 'three-edged thorn', an absolute cruel murder weapon!

All of this is to kill the enemy in the fastest and most effective way, which is also the most basic method of the 'Nightingale' team!

"Nothing was missed, right?" the masked man in black at the head asked in a deep voice.

"Nope. The other eleven shook their heads and responded in unison.

"Very good! let's retreat!" the black-faced masked man at the head nodded and gave the order to retreat.

Then the twelve people quickly and secretly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only more than 100 people still lying on the ground in their original positions. If it weren't for the huge amount of blood gushing out of their surroundings, it really wouldn't have been like a death scene!

========================================================

"What?!" Cheng Mu looked at the subordinates who came to report in front of him, with a look of disbelief, "In just three days, more than 2,000 people died inexplicably in the wilderness?!"

"Yes Commander!" the subordinate who came to report also had a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "According to the report, these people were all killed by a single blow, and they were all killed and stabbed to death while camping at night!

"What's the reason?!" Chengmu asked with a deep frown.

"Judging from the traces of the scene, all the people at the scene showed no traces of fighting, and all of them had fatal wounds that were a thumb-sized bloody hole in their necks! All the people killed were caused by broken necks and massive blood loss! There were no traces of outsiders entering the scene except for the traces of normal camping, and it was obvious that the attackers could hide their traces!"

"Everything tells us that the brothers who died were assassinated by the same adversary!"

"The same group of people?!" Cheng Mu's face became solemn, and then asked, "Have you found out who has entered the 'Badaling' recently?!"

"No!" the subordinate shook his head and said solemnly, "We haven't found anyone or any information to deal with the entry into 'Badaling'! We don't know when and from what location this mysterious team entered 'Badaling', and we don't know how many people there are!"

"I don't know this, I don't know that, what else do you know?!" Chengmu said angrily and angrily.

"For this team, the subordinates really don't know the specific situation!" The subordinate didn't care about Cheng Mu's words, and continued, "However, according to the report of the spies, the local commander Zhang Wuji has formulated a new plan to deal with us, presumably this team has a deep connection with that new plan!"

"Huh?!" Cheng Mu suddenly became interested, "Did the spies find out what the specific plan was?!"

"According to the report of the spies, that plan is regarded as top secret, even the empress Zhao Min and the rest of the high-ranking people do not know the specific situation, only know that the people who are now besieging 'Badaling' are led by Zhang Wuji personally, and Mu Shan, the deputy commander who originally presided over the overall encirclement of our side, is in charge of the overall battle in the rear!"

"Zhang Wuji?!" Cheng Mu's eyes became solemn.

For Zhang Wuji, he didn't want the rest of the people to look down on each other like that. Although it is very funny, everyone thinks that Zhang Wuji, who abandoned the 'Blue Dragon Gang' at the beginning, is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, an incompetent person who only knows how to protect himself.

But after carefully analyzing the original situation, Chengmu found that Zhang Wuji was a really smart person!

When he was in the 'Green Dragon Gang', there was nothing wrong with relying on Ye Zhengbang, the gang leader at that time! Then the Ye clan was destroyed, and the 'Green Dragon Gang' faced the division and extermination of everyone, Zhang Wuji was able to jump out of the danger of extinction as soon as possible and join the 'Hidden Dragon Society', so as to create better and more stable living conditions for himself and his subordinates, which was also a very correct and shrewd means!

Although Cheng Mu is doing a death-defying situation with Wu Wuji in order to repay his gratitude, he is not the kind of person who has a tendon and thinks highly of himself!

As a person who grew up from the bottom, Cheng Mu knows and understands Zhang Wuji's choice and response very well, and admires Zhang Wuji's incomparably correct choice every step!

Chengmu once compared himself with Zhang Wuji, and found that he was actually no different from Zhang Wuji, but Zhang Wuji was more lucky, much higher than him Chengmu at the beginning, and he didn't owe a huge favor!

As a result, Zhang Wuji could choose the option that was most beneficial to himself and his subordinates, but he Chengmu had to fight to the death to repay the kindness!

Because of all of the above, Chengmu is very jealous of Zhang Wuji, and he also knows how terrible the other party is as his enemy!

This time, you let yourself lose more than 2,000 people in three days, it must be caused by this Zhang Wuji's mysterious plan! Although he Chengmu is not clear about the specific plan for the time being, it is only at the beginning that such a big loss has to make Chengmu feel shocked and vigilant!

You must know that since he was in charge of the defense of 'Badaling', the total loss of manpower in all battles so far is only 1,000 people, which can be seen from this!

"Immediately pass the order, don't scatter and hide for the time being, and move closer to the assembly area!" Cheng Mu thought about it and immediately issued a new order.

"Yes!"

Soon, the scattered teams hidden in the many hills and woods of 'Badaling' began to move closer, very quickly.

After another three days, the teams scattered in the 'Badaling' regrouped and set up camp at the already determined gathering place, and the leaders of each group entered the big tent to discuss with Chengmu the strategy of dealing with it.

"Subordinates, wait for the Grand Commander!" There were more than three hundred squad leaders in the entire big tent, and all of them stood in the lower position and watched Cheng Mu enter the main seat.

"It's all out of courtesy. Cheng Mu waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said straight to the point, "You know the situation roughly, right?"

The many commanders below also sat in their places after Chengmu sat down, and after hearing Chengmu's words, they all looked at each other, and then said in unison: "The subordinates already know!"

"Six days, thirty teams, nearly five thousand people!" Cheng Mu's face was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Such a big loss, such a short time, it really frightens me!"

No one under the "......" spoke, and they were equally frightened by this. From the information they knew, they learned that the losses of the thirty squads were almost identical, which really made them feel extremely frightened and puzzled.

"Haven't you found any clues?!" Seeing that everyone below was frightened and puzzled, Chengmu couldn't help but ask.

"Please forgive the commander!" a small commander who seemed to be a good speaker among the commanders stood up and said in a deep voice, "After receiving the news, the subordinates began to patrol with all their might, and they camped every day with trepidation, but they did not find the slightest clue!"

"Do you have any thoughts on this?!" Cheng Mu nodded, he would not be angry and embarrassed his subordinates because of this, because he had also not found any clues in the past few days.

"The subordinates have had preliminary discussions with their colleagues who are extremely familiar with each other! The subordinates and others believe that there should be an enemy team that is familiar with the tactics of the Grand Commander who has infiltrated the 'Badaling', and because their personnel are more elite and the number of people is smaller, it is difficult to find their traces! Therefore, the only way for us now is to concentrate our forces and sweep them one by one......

"Great Commander, I have something important to report!" Just as the commander was about to express his opinion, an emergency herald walked in and said urgently.

"Huh?!" Cheng Mu frowned, looking at the herald who came to report with some annoyance, "Tell me if you have something!"

"Yes!" the herald nodded, and immediately said, "According to the spies' report, a large number of enemy troops have entered the 'Badaling' and are directly breaking through our camp! Judging from the speed and direction of the other party, it will only take an hour at most to reach here! Therefore, we judge that the other party should know that the Great Commander is gathering a large army here......

"Hum!" the herald had not yet spoken, and suddenly everyone present began to talk.

Apparently they knew immediately that this was a plan that the other side had already made, and they were waiting for them to gather together and concentrate their forces to attack!
