……
Hutton Kingdom, western border, Silva Forest.
This dense primeval forest is like an endless maze, with towering trees blocking the sky, tangled vines and overgrown shrubs.
The terrain of the Silva Forest is complex, and neither the armies of the Creja Empire nor the troops of the Kingdom of Hutton are willing to go deep.
But correspondingly, this has also become a secret passage that can go around the back of the opponent's line.
The elite team of the Hutton Kingdom's special assassination force marched in the forest like ghosts, waiting for an opportunity to make a surprise attack on the headquarters of the 32nd Army of the Creation Empire tonight.
As night falls, the Silva Forest is shrouded in darkness.
The towering trees cast eerie shadows, like demons baring their teeth and claws, their branches and leaves rustling in the wind, and the smell of moisture filled the air.
The ground was covered with rotting leaves and dead branches, making a crunching sound with every step.
The night was like solidified ink, and not even the moonlight could penetrate this darkness.
Flashing past in the Silva Forest was the Shadow Blade Team of the 7th Special Operations Brigade of the Kingdom of Hutton, composed of six elites.
They belong to the inner organization of the royal family of the Kingdom of Hutton, and have gathered top assassins who cannot be put on the table under normal circumstances.
The leader of the Shadow Blade team is a seventh-level assassin with a slender figure and wind-like movements.
Captain Ruinuo's eyes are as sharp as a falcon, and he can see clearly in the night. He is good at preparing all kinds of strange poisons, and a poison-quenched silver needle can kill a person.
Each member of the Shadow Blade team has their own skills, and they can complement each other and perform perfect teamwork. They come and go like ghosts and never miss a beat.
This time, they were ordered to launch a "decapitation operation" against the Kremlin Empire's troops stationed outside the Silva Forest.
Reno led the team members forward into the forest.
"The target this time is the commander and chief of staff of the 32nd Legion of Creation Army, an old man."
Renault said calmly,
"As long as I get within thirty meters of him, he will be dead, but the main difficulty lies in retreating."
"I'll help you create an escape route."
Vice-captain Catherine added softly, looking at his temperament, he didn't look like an assassin at all.
"The time has come to make achievements. Normally we can only carry out some cleanup work and anti-assassination security work. Now this war has caused chaos in the southern continent. As long as the Kingdom Alliance side can win, we may no longer have to live in shame. In life, it is not impossible to get an opportunity to retire, or even gain a title and become famous. "
"After retiring, we'll all go our separate ways?"
"No, we are a family that grew up together. I will go to a small village to build a house and wait for you to come back at any time."
This mission was just routine for them.
But every mission that follows may be the most important mission.
While the Shadow Blade team was running fast and chatting, the wind suddenly whimpered in the Silva Forest.
Ruino was keenly aware that something was wrong. As an experienced assassin, his intuition told him that danger was approaching.
He suddenly pulled out the dagger, scanned the surroundings with his eyes like a hawk, and shouted in a low voice.
"Be careful, an enemy is approaching."
Other team members also went on alert, gripping their weapons.
Catherine narrowed her eyes slightly, the Shadow Blade team seemed to be facing a powerful enemy, but they could not see any trace of the enemy.
There is obviously a problem.
But as assassins, they could not find any trace of each other.
Until a faint scent of sandalwood came from nowhere, which was incompatible with the humidity in the forest.
At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded behind the Shadow Blade team.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I have no hostility."
Everyone turned around sharply.
They never dreamed that such superb assassins as themselves would be approached unknowingly.
What's even more heart-stopping is that although the speaker's tone is gentle, everyone feels a bone-chilling chill, as if ice water has been poured into the bone marrow.
They saw a young man wearing a white robe and embroidered with complicated and gorgeous patterns already standing beside them.
He has short light blond hair and a clear face.
But the most heart-stopping thing was his silver eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
This man exuded an otherworldly aura, which was incompatible with the gloominess of the Silva Forest.
"Who are you……?!"
Rui Nuo's expression changed greatly, but he did not dare to attack rashly.
Because the other party took the initiative to stay so close, he didn't feel the possibility that he could assassinate the other party.
"The Eleventh Military God of the Creation Empire, Simon Lo, the Emerald Seat."
The man with light blond hair and white robe replied.
"Look at how beautiful the moonlight is tonight. It's not appropriate to fight or kill."
Simonro said with a smile, his tone as soft as a sigh,
"What do you think?"
"..."
No one dared to answer.
The air was frozen, and only the rapid breathing of the members of the Shadow Blade team could be heard.
They were all waiting for Ruino's order.
"Then if we want to leave, will you let us go?"
Ruinuo said in a deep voice.
"of course not."
Simonro replied matter-of-factly,
"I definitely can't let you endanger the Creation Empire. It is inevitable that you will be captured."
"Do it!"
Ruinuo shouted sharply the moment he heard this.
If you are captured by the other party, it is better to fight with the other party to the death!
Before he finished speaking, the dagger in Ruino's hand had already been thrown out, heading straight for Simon Luo's throat.
There was a flash of silver light, and the dagger hit the target accurately.
At such a close distance, Simonro did not completely dodge.
or.
He didn't even try to hide.
After the dagger pierced Simonro's chest, it turned into bits of broken light and disappeared without a trace.
"Okay, can you calm down? I really don't want to hurt you."
Simon Luo was unfazed, except that his white robe was punctured, and his skin was quickly healed.
But the members of the Hutton Kingdom's special assassination force apparently refused to negotiate with Simon Roe.
In their opinion, Simonro gave too many loopholes.
Attack when you need to attack, run when you need to run.
but.
All the attacks were in vain three feet away from Simon Luo, as if they hit an invisible wall.
"Since negotiations have failed, there is nothing we can do."
Simonro sighed, and finally there was a sense of determination in his tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Simonro raised his right hand and made a fist.
A gust of wind suddenly rose, and the members of the Shadow Blade team were instantly blown away, like kites with broken strings.
Countless big trees rose from the ground throughout the forest, losing gravity at this moment!
The biting wind cut their bodies like sharp knives, and blood splashed in the air.
Just a moment.
Several escaping Shadow Blade members fell to the ground or were hung on trees. Their bodies were cut beyond recognition and broken into countless pieces.
Ruinuo, who escaped fatal injuries, managed to stand up, but was covered in blood and crumbling.
"Monster! You monster!"
Ruinuo roared, his eyes cracked.
But as a Hutton soldier, he will never surrender to a strong enemy!
"What's the point."
Simonro said to himself pitifully.
There was a slight smile on his lips, and his fingertips pointed at Ruino.
Just when Ruino was concentrating on avoiding the wind blade, pretending to attack but actually looking for an opportunity to evacuate.
He felt like he was enveloped in a shallow light, and all the injuries on his body were healed.
And Simonro was still looking at him with a smile.
It's like telling him - even if I help you completely heal a few more times, what can you do?
"..."
At this moment, Ruino felt truly powerless.
The crows in the Silva Forest were startled for a few times, and finally, the sounds calmed down.
