European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 143 The Murderous Night

There was not even a single candle lit in the dark room, and everyone was just discussing matters by the faint moonlight.

Cohen said with a sarcasm: "You know what? This guy Tiddell almost couldn't help drawing his sword at the dinner table."

"Now is not the time to worry about this. Are the personnel ready? Make sure that no enemy troops are left behind." Li Peijun confirmed the situation again, fearing that someone might have slipped through the net and leaked the information.

Bernard made a gesture of completion, "We have been monitoring the tents since the morning, even when they urinate at night, there are eyeliners around the mansion, and those nobles are sleeping like pigs, waiting for us to sharpen their knives." Where’s Huo Huo?”

Li Peijun leaned forward and praised affirmatively: "Very well, inform the troops on standby that they don't need to assemble, so as not to make too much noise. According to the plan in advance, contact the responsible personnel directly, outflank them with small groups, and kill them all. .”

After thinking for a while, he added: "You lead 850 soldiers to the outskirts, and all the nobles in the mansion will be handed over to me. Our primary purpose is to weaken the opponent's combat power as much as possible, so that no one will be left alive. , leaving no one alive.”

When these words were said, the hearts of all the people present trembled. Fighting a war is not a woman's kindness. When it is time to be ruthless, it is necessary to kill decisively.

The final plan was finalized in the darkness, and the last sliver of peace disappeared after holding his breath, and a bloody wind condensed in the air.

"Use the skills, the heavenly soldiers." Li Peijun murmured.

The evening wind blows, only the rustling of the leaves, without a trace of strangeness piercing the silent dawn, the night is still the original night.

Dealing with this group of unarmed and defenseless nobles was easy, Li Peijun directly led a hundred people to sneak into the mansion, and began to sweep layer by layer.

Li Peijun lit a candle to explore the way, and deliberately blocked the only light with his hands, searching for the target only by the faint light between his hands.

After discovering the movement, Li Peijun didn't panic. First, he raised the candlestick with one hand, and by the light of the fire, he gestured to the soldiers following behind him to stand by. He leaned against the wall with his sword to see what happened.

"I was scared to death. I thought there was some movement, but it turned out to be a mouse."

After a false alarm, Li Peijun made a gesture to continue marching again, and the troops walked slowly in this narrow aisle.

After finding the place where the nobles slept, Li Peijun gave the order to kill without amnesty, and the soldiers behind him swarmed up and started a massacre feast.

"It seems that the movement is a bit loud." Li Peijun wiped his sweat. These recruits are still not rigorous enough, and the noise reduction function of the system can't contain their manic emotions.

"For the rest, move around and make a quick decision. Be sure to clear out the nobles in the mansion." He simply roared, leading a group of people behind him and ran upstairs.

Most of the nobles upstairs were still fast asleep. Li Peijun crossed the steps in two steps in three steps, unsheathed his cold sword and rushed in.

In an instant, like a gushing mountain spring, several bodies in the chaos lie forever in a pool of blood. This is not like a battle, but rather like a slaughterhouse batch processing livestock. It is just a unilateral slaughter. Not even a cry of resistance.

Nathan didn't feel at ease like other nobles. He felt uneasy about his next actions because he couldn't sleep at night. He was timid and fearful, and he was not as good as a mouse in the gutter at this time.

He was the only one living in the huge bedroom, and the spacious atmosphere did not make his heart settle down, on the contrary, he seemed more and more nervous and anxious.

"What's the noise?" Nathan heard the sound coming from below, and just wanted to listen carefully, but immediately recovered the deathlike silence.

"Is it my auditory hallucination? Oh, Nathan, you can't do this. You are a knight, and you are a warrior. The difficulties in front of you are not difficult for you. Take it easy, buddy."

Although he said so, his legs kept trembling. The trembling Nathan staggered and lifted the mattress, took off the hanging sword sheath, and staggered back.

"I really hope that the solar energy will rise earlier tomorrow. This long night is enough to torture people. The military career is not my favorite. My life is only in the pastoral." Nathan pressed his hands on his temples , reciting the Bible to persuade myself to calm down.

"bang"

The door was kicked open violently, and several groups of black shadows rushed in from the door, surrounding Nathan.

"You... who are you?" The dim light prevented Nathan from seeing the opponent's face clearly, and instinctively he clenched the sword in his hand.

"The person who wants to kill you." Li Peijun hovered the candle in front of him, as if the god of death issued a death sentence to the dying.

"Why...how it's you." Nathan was taken aback. Before he could figure out what had happened, the courage bursting out from the bottom of his heart suddenly withered, and instead he knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please, don't kill me. If you tie me up as a hostage, you can get a lot of benefits, but killing me is useless."

Li Peijun thought that this tough-looking guy would die with honor in the end, but he didn't expect that he was also a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He blew a breath towards Bai Wa, and the remaining light disappeared, and he was so frightened. Sen thought it was time to die, so he slammed on the floor even harder.

"Don't kill me, I can give you all my wealth, my house, my fields, all belong to you, please, let me go."

Li Peijun took a breath, and said coldly, "Find a few thick hemp ropes and tie them up first." Then he turned and left to check the surrounding battle situation, only to hear the echo of "Thank you very much!" The Grace of Killing".

"Hmph, this kind of pig teammate who is not helpful, it might be better to stay with the earl alive." Li Peijun wiped the blood-stained sword and rushed to the outskirts camp under the moonlight.

The situation was progressing more smoothly than expected. When Li Peijun arrived, Bernard and the others were already starting to clean up the scene.

"I swear, the wine I've drank in my life is not as much as I killed tonight. If it weren't for the dark sky, what a spectacular sight it would be in the daytime." Bernard looked at the plentiful things he had achieved tonight. The result of the battle, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Li Peijun joked coldly: "If this is the case, I guess you will quit drinking."

The strong and healthy Tiedle did it himself, stripped off all the equipment on the knight, and then carried the body and threw it into the dense forest not far away to bury it.

"These 450 cavalry are 450 sets of equipment. Not only that, but there are also more than 400 more horses." Tiddell picked up the heavy armor and walked forward to talk.

Cohen asked again: "What about the next move? You can't use the same trick a second time. The Earl of Caen should lead the army there."

Li Peijun is not worried about this at all, "Since we can defeat him the first time, we can defeat him the second time. Since the situation in Caen is so unstable, let's make it a little more chaotic."

Cohen is still in confusion, but Li Peijun has already started to call on everyone to count the supplies. I have to say that the knight's equipment is indeed several grades higher than his own shoddy equipment, because there are still many gaps in the quantity, and there are only half of them at the moment. Humans can be equipped with knight kits.

The leading troops in Caen were wiped out in just one night. Even so, the subsequent reinforcements were a force that should not be underestimated. In the next few days, Li Peijun still had to maintain a high degree of vigilance.
