(When I was reading the previous story, I found that the names of two passers-by were repeated. Please change them. I wonder if you noticed it.)
At night when the deep darkness engulfed everything visible, the not-so-bright lights of the Aleister Military Camp were like the only light in the deep sea, attracting the attention of the strange things around it.
The dead soldiers wearing special night clothes walked in the woods covered by vegetation on the edge of the cliff, hiding their bodies as much as possible. These specially trained soldiers had the powerful ability to specialize in one direction.
His footsteps stepped on the grass and trees, but there was no rustling sound. His body slightly scraped against the branches and leaves of the trees. While the grass and trees shook slightly, it did not cause any other surrounding things to shake.
"Peaceful Step" is a technique used by Seventan specifically for assassins. The power involved includes both fighting spirit and magic.
The superimposed effect of the two powers is also extremely amazing. As long as the speed of movement is controlled to the level of slow walking, all the effects of using the Peace Walker on the outside world will be greatly weakened, including the sense of existence.
Under the cover of the dark night, these dead soldiers walked slowly and approached Arestle's military camp in a very strange posture, as if taking a walk.
There is obviously nothing to hide their figures, but if you look at them with the naked eye, it is difficult to catch their figures.
The equipment on these black-clad nightwalkers is extremely simple, with only a strange forked dagger held tightly in their hands as a weapon.
The shape of the dagger is very strange. The blade is bifurcated in the middle and divided into three parts. The grooves on the surface of the dagger blade are not bleeding grooves, but some inscriptions with strange patterns.
They are very exquisite, which makes these daggers not look like weapons, but a bit like sacrificial vessels used in rituals.
As time goes by, the night becomes more dead, and the darkness covering the entire land becomes deeper and deeper. Today's Magic Moon is particularly dim, and the clouds cover most of the moonlight, making the approach of these night walkers extremely difficult to detect. .
The hoods covered all the faces of these night walkers, and the black robes covering them also obscured the physical features of these people. It was difficult to distinguish between men and women and their age.
The fire in the military camp dimmed a little again. It seemed that because the time was up, the soldiers in the army chose to rest. For a long time, the two armies had been in a situation where there was no small friction and constant fighting. It seemed that Arestle's army had given up. Too much caution.
The military camp did not react at all to these approaching stealthy night walkers. Four hundred meters, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred and fifty meters. There was no movement in the military camp, except for the occasional sound of movement and the collision and intermission of weapons. snoring.
The Night Walkers moved slowly, but their constant proximity brought them closer and closer to their destination, the outpost of Arestle's army, Sighing Canyon Outpost.
The dagger in his hand was ready for use, and the muscles gradually tightened. It went smoothly. Time reduced the vigilance of these Aleister soldiers to the lowest level. The fact that the patrolling soldier before was easily killed already speaks volumes. .
The official knight, who used his inner potential to hide his body in the void, locked his eyes tightly in the direction of the military camp, followed the footsteps of these night walkers, and gradually approached the outpost of the Sighing Canyon.
As soon as the distance is reached, these dead soldiers will lay the first cornerstone of the war at the cost of their lives.
The distance of a hundred meters gradually returned to zero, very smoothly, and the approach of the night crawlers did not attract even a trace of attention from the military camp.
When the distance was enough for them to launch a blitz that was difficult to react, all the dead soldiers released their peaceful steps, raised the slightly weird daggers in their hands, and began to charge.
Even during the extremely fast charge, these night walkers still did not make much noise, and the sound of their footsteps hitting the ground was unusually soft.
Although the strength of most of the dead warriors ranges from mid-level trainee knights to high-level trainee knights, their running speed after special training is much higher than that of the same level.
The first Night Walker successfully sprinted to the edge of the military camp. The tent in front of him was already within easy reach. Without hesitation, he swung his dagger forward.
Although the dagger was strange, it was sharp enough to easily cut through the thick cloth of the military tent, allowing Night Walker to rush into the military camp in one leap.
The strange dagger in his hand was raised high, his eyes quickly glanced around, and the muscles all over his body were ready to explode with force. No matter what, as long as he could kill one of these soldiers who relaxed their vigilance...
A slight surprise appeared on the face of the nightwalker, which was completely covered by the hood. The soldiers who had imagined letting down their vigilance and resting in the military tent did not appear in their eyes.
All the items in the military tent were still there, including armor and swords, but only the soldiers were invisible.
The torch in the middle of the military tent was crackling and burning, illuminating the scenery in the tent. The clearly audible sound of burning wood and crackling made the dead silence in the military tent more prominent.
"Where are the people?" The dagger in his hand fell to nowhere. In a short time, this short question flashed through the mind of the nightwalker who was the first to rush into the military tent and prepare to start killing.
"Not good." This was the second thought. There must be a monster when something goes wrong. Although they don't understand what is going on, these dead soldiers who have undergone arduous training understand that when an unexpected scene occurs, what will happen next things will become very troublesome.
The same scene appeared in front of every nightwalker who rushed into the military tent. The strange dagger in his hand stabbed out from nowhere. The things in the military tent were intact, but their most important target this time, Alai, was nowhere to be seen. Soldiers of Steller's army.
The Severant knight who came to the military camp with Night Walker's premonition of crisis became more intense after he realized that something was wrong. He didn't understand what went wrong, but the empty situation in the military camp at this time was definitely not normal. .
"Temporarily evacuate the military camp!" The order was issued in a hurry, and all the night walkers who rushed into the military tent began to leave quickly.
But soon, the nightwalkers, including this official knight, discovered that the situation was bad.
I don't know when, some thick earth and stone walls have risen on the ground around the military camp. These extremely hard earth and stone walls surrounded the entire garrison area of the Sighing Canyon outpost, trapping these night walkers who broke into the military camp. Inside.
The stone wall is not high, about three meters, which is nothing to these knights whose physiques are far beyond those of normal earth humans.
One of the night walkers quickly evacuated following the commander's instructions. When approaching the two-meter-high earth and stone wall, he jumped up. He stepped on the wall twice, raising the two-meter-high jumping height again, almost This barrier will be overcome in an instant.
"Whoosh, whoosh!" However, just when the night walker was about to cross the earth wall, several arrows flew out from the darkness at high speed, and the sound of piercing the air was so slight that it was difficult to detect in the darkness.
These flying arrows accurately hit the nightwalker who was trying to climb over the stone wall. The arrows with their unique concealment ability did not give the high-level trainee knight, who had his back to the direction of the attack, a chance to react. , every vital part of the body was penetrated.
The corpse was pinned to the wall, and the weird dagger in his hand fell down feebly after the life disappeared from the dead soldier.
The sudden tragic death of their companions made the Night Walkers react quickly and fell into the trap. Although they did not understand how they were discovered, it was obvious that the other party was ready to use the siege created by these stone walls to annihilate them.
"How did these stone walls generate...earth element magic arrays in a short period of time? No, it's impossible. Stone walls with such hardness cannot require so little magic power. We haven't detected enough magic power fluctuations to drive the magic arrays before. ah."
The official knight who followed the night walkers in hiding watched the night walkers quickly find cover to avoid being exposed to enemy fire, and he quickly thought about the situation in his mind.
"Damn it, these stone walls have been prepared in advance. If necessary, they can be raised directly. This way there will be very little magic power needed to drive the earth element."
He finally figured out what the sudden appearance of the stone wall was about, but it didn't help the dire situation at the moment.
A formal knight who relies on his hidden power called "The Invisible Man" to remain hidden, has been relying on his own stealth to collect information. The other night walkers are looking for bunkers to cover their bodies, but he is observing the arrows shot by the crossbow. direction.
On the stone wall on the other side in the distance, there was a circle of Aleister soldiers standing on it, holding Aleister military crossbows in their hands.
It is the same type as the one Aviya first used to deal with Obi-Wan, but after optimization over time, the "stealth" and "piercing" characteristics of these enchanted military crossbows have been further enhanced.
The crossbow arrows that silently killed a nightwalker just now were fired from these standard military crossbows.
The pupils of the formal knight of Severtan 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. He was extremely familiar. It was the one who discovered them and was killed by him. The patrol soldier who was silenced instantly.
"I shouldn't have killed him... I made a misjudgment. It should have been some kind of internal stealth or a substitute spell. Instead, he was used as bait. Now I'm in trouble."
The secret official knight finally understood how they were discovered. The unusually "careless" patrol soldier was basically a bait for these night raiders. When he "killed" the patrol soldier, they It has already been discovered.
"First shoot a round, and then drop alchemical fuel into the blind spot. Although my fake body is very weak, I was killed so easily. There should be at least one official knight among them, so be careful."
Kevin looked at the military camp below surrounded by stone walls, and coldly issued the shooting order. At the same time, in order to avoid the problem of being unable to shoot through the bunkers, he once again added methods to attack the enemies behind these bunkers.
Kevin is the captain of the outpost in the Canyon of Sighs. He is a member of the Night Blade. After the war began, he was transferred to the front line. Because of his special internal infiltration, he was appointed as the general responsible for the outpost closest to the Seventan army. By.
His inner potential is a "two-phase person", which can create a false body that is no different from the true body in appearance and even thinking except that all physical qualities are only one-third of the true body. He can order this false body to patrol, In fact, it is the best warning.
When this fake body is killed, everything the fake body has experienced will be transferred to his memory.
When the official knight of Severtan killed Kevin's fake body, Kevin had already discovered this group of invaders.
The arrows covered the Severantan Night Walkers who were trapped in the military camp surrounded by stone walls. The sharp and powerful crossbow arrows and ordinary wooden objects could not be used as defense objects.
Weak bunkers will be penetrated easily. Several night crawlers whose bunkers were too thin were penetrated by the bunkers after this round of shooting and turned into hedgehogs.
After several rounds of volleys, Severin's night warriors could not find any chance to escape. The Aleister soldiers who alternated the two steps of loading and shooting had almost no interval between the volleys. These trainee knights were It is simply wishful thinking for the Night Walkers to escape.
And even if most of the night crawlers escaped the first wave of attacks with solid bunkers and survived, this was only the first wave of shooting.
Kevin's order has already specified how to deal with these enemies hiding behind the bunker, and let the raging flames cover these hiding guys.
The alchemical fuel contained in the clay pot was evenly thrown down by the Aleister soldiers from the high platform.
The clay pot shattered when it touched the ground, and the alchemical fuel inside splashed out and flowed everywhere. The pungent smell of alchemical solvent suddenly filled the entire camp.
These night walkers already felt that something was wrong, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and wait for the scorching heat to come.
Then several torches were thrown down from above, and the extremely flammable alchemical solvent evenly covered the entire camp. The moment the torches came into contact with these flammable agents, the flames suddenly rose.
The scorching flames swept through the entire outpost surrounded by stone walls in a short period of time. The cloth of the military tent, the wooden supports inside, and some equipment were melted and shattered under the flames.
These are considered supplies for the army, but compared with the night raiders who killed the enemies of Seventan, the cost is not worth caring about at all.
Kevin's eyes reflected the fires burning in the military camp. These flames were as hot as the mood in his heart at the moment, and his mood under the cold surface could not calm down at all.
Severantan's sudden night attack will completely break the stalemate in this war at this moment. The short-term victory will not bring him joy. The subsequent head-on conflict will bring unimaginable casualties...
After calming down his turbulent mood, Kevin's cold eyes glanced at the flaming military camp again. The enemy's situation was obscured by the flames. He did not let down his vigilance. The fate of these enemies burned by the flames was the consequence of letting down their vigilance.
The alchemical fuel burns extremely violently and rapidly, and the rising flames consume almost all the oxygen inside the stone wall.
The flame gradually weakened, and after the alchemical fuel inside burned out, only the ashes and smoldering embers were left.
Kevin glanced around. The entire camp was covered in pitch-black ash, and sparks were still dancing due to the updraft, making it difficult to detect the situation inside.
Although the news has been spread to other military departments, it will take time for other troops to arrive. There are no military mages here who are more precious than the knights, and detection spells cannot be used for detection.
Then we can only go down and confirm the condition of those night walkers that were covered in flames.
"Be careful, form a defensive formation, confirm the enemy's situation first, and ensure safety."
The soldiers raised their shields and formed a military formation with Kevin as the center, going up and down from the high platform of the stone wall to the military camp where there were still residual fire and ashes.
The soldiers were alert to their surroundings and glanced cautiously around, watching for possible attacks by survivors.
Kevin's eyes moved slightly, and he had already noticed something was wrong. Sure enough, those flames were not enough to kill the official knight of Seventan who killed his fake body with one blow before his fake body could react at all. .
The hidden inner potential does not really reduce his existence to nothingness, but is difficult to observe, so his whereabouts have been detected at this moment.
The ground covered with a layer of ash easily showed traces when faced with pressure, and the sparks floating in the air also faintly showed the outline of his figure, as he was approaching here.
Kevin reminded the soldiers beside him through hidden gestures. The well-trained soldiers understood it and pretended not to notice the approaching formal knights at all. They just maintained the defensive formation and continued to move forward in the military camp with Kevin as the core.
Stepping down, the moment Kevin passed by the hidden man, the official knight of Severtan suddenly released his concealment, and the broken body covered with hideous burn marks jumped out of the void, with the strange dagger in his hand high He raised it and thrust it into Kevin's chest without hesitation.
"Poof!" Several long swords that had been prepared thrust out and pierced the body of the formal knight who jumped up, whose armor had long been burned away.
The long swords of these trainee knight soldiers did not penetrate deeply into the flesh of the formal knights. What was really fatal was Kevin's prepared piercing sword, which completely penetrated the sternum and completely destroyed the lungs of the formal knights of Severtan.
The strange dagger in his hand did not fall, and a strange smile appeared on the face of the formal knight who was stabbed into the body by the sword.
"At the cost of my soul, bring down the erosion!" With low but decisive words, the weird dagger he raised pierced his chest without hesitation, and the blood flowed through the complicated and exquisite carvings on the weird bifurcated dagger. , an indescribable force began to appear.
The eyes of the formal knight have lost their luster, and his soul has been stripped out of his body and absorbed into the blade by the weird dagger.
His purpose was just to get close to Kevin. The target of the raised dagger was not Kevin from the beginning to the end, but himself, and the same goes for those night crawlers...
Among the smoldering ashes, the Night Walker soldiers who still had their last breath raised the strange dagger in their hands and inserted it into their bodies.
