Ultimate Assassin System

Two days later, in the afternoon, in the hinterland of the Zichen Legion war zone.

The fierce battle was coming to an end. Except for the occasional screams and curses, this unknown, run-down town was now completely quiet. Only the curls of black smoke are still being emitted from all over the city, drifting in the biting cold wind, with nowhere to turn.

City gates, walls, streets... blood was everywhere, and stiff corpses that had not completely cooled down could be seen everywhere inside and outside the city. There are Zichen soldiers wearing standard armor, as well as hairy Northern Wilderness barbarians, and occasionally a few ordinary people can be seen. However, judging from the figures of the barbarians wandering around the battlefield, this brutal battle for the town obviously ended with the victory of the barbarian side.

Although there are still a few sporadic battles in the city, this battle is undoubtedly over. The barbarians at the gate of the city were already cleaning the battlefield. The method was simple and rude, they simply took off the armors and weapons of Bran's soldiers and piled them aside. After a general search, if nothing was found, they were thrown into the dug pit and buried collectively. If you find coins, soldiers' pay and other trophies, you will laugh a few times, put them into your pocket without politeness, and then continue to pick up the opponent's body and throw it into the pit...

Disrespect your opponent? Don't be ridiculous, have you seen any wild beast that after catching prey, bury the corpse of the prey? This is how the barbarians behave. They don't want any grand funerals. Even if they encounter the corpse of one of their own, they will search it first, then throw it into another big pit, and bury it collectively...

Soon, the general cleaning at the city gate was completed. The large group of people waiting outside the city moved slowly and passed through the dilapidated city gate one after another.

He laughed boldly, Haha... this city is lost. The Zichen Army is gone. Now it's time for us to reap the results. The importance of strategic location. It’s not about the size of the town. It is determined by its geographical location. Sometimes even an inconspicuous level is more important than a large city. In the eyes of this laughing barbarian veteran, occupying this small city is undoubtedly an extremely important strategic part.

Yes, capture this town of Bran. The Zichen Defense Zone, which has few dangerous areas to defend in the rear, is the boundless pasture for our Northern Wilderness warriors to roam freely...

Finally we've reached this point... Damn, before that damn Zi Yi was here, we could only stare at this on the map. Now we can finally set foot on this land, haha...

Haha, Zi Yi is nothing. Even if Zi Yi is not dead, there is absolutely nothing he can do to stop His Highness's clever plan...

That's right. Then Ziyi should be glad that he died early, otherwise he would not have such a great reputation if he met our Highness...

…

He watched with his own eyes as his troops advanced step by step to an important position that the tribe had not occupied in more than a hundred years. It was also the war zone where the Zichen Legion was stationed. The barbarian generals were naturally overjoyed. In their excitement, even Zi Yi, who had been dead for a year, was pulled out to speak out. The words were very contemptuous.

Okay, uncles. If you continue to praise me like this, I don't even know what to say. Lansha pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and Lan Sha, who was surrounded by others, looked helpless, Besides, that Zi Yi Although he is from Bran, he is indeed a genius on the battlefield, and he is a god in the use of soldiers. Although it is a pity that I can't face him in person, if we really meet him on the battlefield, I really don't have much confidence.

Haha, Your Highness is too humble... Just as the people of Bran admire Zi Yi, the barbarian veterans who have followed Lansha all the way to victory almost unconditionally trust the new commander-in-chief who has just taken office. Now when I hear Lan Sha talking about someone else's prestige, I naturally don't believe it and just think that she is being polite and modest.

And Lan Sha, who had read many of Zi Yi's command and campaign intelligence, knew of course that the name of the God of War was well-deserved. But now that all the generals are praising her, it's not easy to upset everyone's minds. After thinking about it, he changed the topic with a smile: Haha, let's not talk about it. The Zichen Army's combat power is amazing. As long as it is not completely defeated, everything will be over. It’s not known yet... Well, I heard that my brother’s side officially broke through the Thunder Legion’s blockade a few days ago, and now it’s time to invade the hinterland of Bran, right? It’s really amazing!”

Your Highness Wu...well, there is such news.

Huh, it's just relying on our remaining power to take advantage of it...

Haha, I can't say that, His Highness Wu still has some real stories...

Upon arriving in Wu, all the barbarian generals immediately restrained their excitement and became a little taboo. Even if there were any murmurs of dissatisfaction, they were quickly overshadowed by others trying to smooth things over. However, this is just a superficial attitude. It is regarded as awe of the royal family. They don't care much about the black people, and even have some disdain.

The actual situation is almost the same. Frankly speaking, the war between Ukraine and Ukraine is real. Previously, I had been following the old commander of the tribe all year round, and my tactical command level was also very good due to my hearing and seeing him. But it depends on who you compare with. If you compare it with Lan Sha, who was killing all the people in his first command of the Commander Seal, there is no doubt that the gap is obvious.

Take the current invasion war as an example. The two fronts of Zichen and Cangyan, led by Lansha and commanding the attack, are advancing hand in hand with overwhelming momentum, which is extremely amazing. Especially the Zichen War Zone, which was personally commanded, was the benchmark leader among all previous fronts, and had the advantage of being in the limelight without second thought. Although the Thunder Theater where Commander Wu attacked did well, it was nothing more than that. To be able to follow the other two war zones without falling behind, it was because they secretly borrowed the remaining power from Lansha. After all, if Zichen's front is lost, even if the Thunder Theater on the right side does not lose its front, it will have to abandon its front and retreat in order to prevent being surrounded by the barbarians on the Zichen Theater's side from behind...

However, it must be said that Wu was lucky. He had been advancing with Lansha, but in the past few days, he used unknown means to break through the Thunder Legion's blockade and invaded the hinterland of Bran, taking the lead. This also made the group of barbarian veterans who followed Lansha very unconvinced after hearing this, thinking that the other party had taken advantage of this.

Of course Lan Sha could hear what everyone was saying and knew that they were grievances, but she didn't say anything. She didn't care much about grabbing the top spot, especially after she vaguely learned that Wu, her brother who had been very good to her in the past, had spread rumors about the mystery of his life. Secretly hostile to her. He even wanted to give in. Intend to fulfill the other party.

The generals didn't know Lansha's intentions. They only knew that Wu was probably the son of the Queen of the Northern Wilderness and Zi Yi. He was not a true Northern Wilderness, so he could not inherit the throne of the royal family. As a result, he naturally didn't think much of him, and only got close to His Highness Lansha, who is now the only one qualified to succeed...

Haha, of course His Highness Wu has some real stories, but he has encountered a tough problem this time. It will be difficult for him to truly invade the hinterland of the Northern Wilderness...

Oh? How do you say that? The generals were stunned when they heard this. Lansha also cast doubtful eyes on the middle-aged officer who spoke.

I also just heard the news not long ago. There is a cousin of the family serving under His Highness Wu... Well, I wonder if you have heard of the Gray Army?

The Gray Army? What kind of army is that? Does Bran's army have this banner?

I don't know, I haven't heard of it...

The Northern Wasteland has not really penetrated into the hinterland of Bran for hundreds of years. It is naturally impossible for this group of generals to have heard of the Gray Army. After hearing this, they all looked at each other with doubts on their faces. Only Lansha frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, Is it the civilian army composed of ordinary people in Bran who can't bear the oppression and resisting the Bran Empire?

Your Highness is really insightful. This is really an army of civilians from Bran. The middle-aged barbarian officer was stunned when he heard this, and then praised unconvincingly.

I've only heard about it occasionally. According to the intelligence collected before the war, there was this special army in Bran...well, continue. Waving his hands carelessly, Lansha said lightly, as if it was really just I've seen the same thing occasionally.

Andre, who was guarding him, looked a little strange when he heard this. He is Lansha's close friend, and his fiancée is Lansha's personal maid. Some of Lansha's actions did not mean to avoid him, so he naturally knew that for a while, Lansha had secretly issued a secret order, asking spies hidden in Bran to inquire about a Bran named Arthur... ...It was easy to find out, because according to the spies, Arthur's wanted portrait has been hung all over Bran, but there is not much information. I only know that he is a member of the Gray Army. By the way, a piece of information about the Gray Army was also sent back. intelligence. Of course, he also knew that Arthur was actually a pseudonym, and his real name was Tang En... Then Andre discovered that Lansha had been in a bad mood for a few days, constantly talking about liars, liars and so on...

The middle-aged officer continued, After His Highness Wu broke through the Thunder Legion's blockade, he did not encounter the pursuing and intercepting Bran army, but he happened to bump into this gray-clothed army... At first, His Highness Wu did not pay attention to this army. The civilian army, because it was said that the opponent did not even have standard armor and carried a variety of weapons, it was obvious at first glance that it was a miscellaneous army. But after the actual battle... Haha, His Highness Wu's side was really beaten. deficit!

Uh, how come?

It's impossible. Even Bran's regular army can't withstand the attack of our tribal warriors. This motley army...

Could it be that His Highness Wu made a careless command and made a mistake?

…

No, none of them... Just when the generals were shocked and couldn't help but question their guesses, the middle-aged officer waved his hands to deny it. Then he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a bit puzzled and emotional, Remember that? Damn it, is that the weird weapon that Ziyi used when he attacked my tribe’s imperial city? This gray-clothed army has it in his hands, and there are quite a few... Of course, His Highness Lingwu’s army suffered a big loss not only with this weapon, but also with those Bran Civilian soldiers...

After a pause, his expression became more complicated and unspeakable, I didn't see the battle that took place there with my own eyes, but according to my cousin, this Bran army is very special, very special... Once it enters the charging state, the two sides start fighting. In close combat, they are not afraid of the terrifying individual combat capabilities of our warriors. Even if there is only one person left, they dare to wildly swing their swords at my team of warriors... If they have weapons, they will use them to cut. If they don't have weapons, they will use them. Just smash them with your fists. If you cut off your fists, bite them with your teeth. If you cut off your legs, then you will hug our warriors and roll down the ravine, and die together... Take a breath, as long as there is still breath! As long as your eyes are closed! They will not stop. Attack, never, everyone is like this... Huh... My cousin said in the letter that when he commanded his warriors to capture a mountain top, he saw with his own eyes that the warriors who had no fear of anything in the past were actually attacked by the opponent. He was beaten away three times, three times...the other party is too crazy, too crazy! Even crazier and bloodthirsty than our warriors on the battlefield...

Licking his dry lips, he looked at the generals who paused and led their troops to stop at the gate of the city. The middle-aged officer spread his hands: Doesn't it sound incredible? To be honest. I didn't believe it when I first saw it... If I didn't know my cousin's character well. He never tells lies, I wouldn't want to believe it. He always likes The hypocritical Bran who is trying to be clever can be so brave and crazy... I would rather believe that this is just a joke, that my cousin is deliberately teasing me, although this is unlikely to happen... but, this should be true!

The cold wind struck like a knife, whining as it passed through the city gate and corridor, like a shrill howl of a ghost. Weeping and complaining. The barbarian generals, who had never been afraid of severe cold due to their thick body hair, shivered when they heard the sound. Thinking of what the middle-aged officer had just said, they felt a sudden chill in their hearts.

They are barbarian generals, so they naturally know the characteristics of their warriors very well. To put it bluntly, the minds of ordinary warriors are indeed very simple, and can even be said to be stupid, unable to turn around. But it is precisely because of these character traits that they are fearless and free from distractions on the battlefield. Like a wild beast, only one command is needed. Even though he knew that the front was the bombing area of ​​Bran's city-defending weapon Thor's hammer, he still dared to scream and rush over without fear of death.

But a Bran person... or a person with a normal IQ, generally speaking, cannot do this. Because no matter when and where they are, their minds are spinning. Maybe it's not that he's afraid of death, but he's thinking of ways to kill the enemy in front of him. But it is because of these thoughts that they cannot follow their emotions and kill freely on the battlefield, let alone do the crazy act of cutting off the enemy's head and then opening their mouths to drink blood.

Of the above two states on the battlefield, it is impossible to say who is better and who is worse, who is higher and who is lower. But one thing that is certain is that the level of madness is undoubtedly even higher among the simple-minded warriors of the clan.

But now, this middle-aged officer is saying that this civilian army of Bran is crazier, crazier, and more bloodthirsty than the warriors of the tribe! How can it be! How do they overcome unnecessary distractions in their minds? How to suppress the fear of death? How to turn yourself into a beast? Why...why do they do this? !

If there was a soldier from the Gray Army here, he would definitely hold his head high and proudly tell these barbarian generals that they relied on the faith in their hearts! This belief does not come from gods, but from themselves!

Or, to be more precise, it’s because they are ambitious!

He has the ambition to build a stable home for his wife, children and even future generations with his own hands!

He has the ambition to fight his way through this cannibalistic world with weapons!

He has the ambition to topple this ugly empire that is rotten to the core with his head and blood!

What do the poor have? Nothing!

What do the poor need? Ambition! Ambition! That’s ambition!

…

Unfortunately, there are no Gray Army soldiers here, so these stunned barbarian generals are destined not to know why this motley army is crazier than their warriors.

The gray-clothed army... is interesting... no wonder... Compared to the shocked barbarian generals, Lansha's expression was much calmer. Perhaps he had already known that this civilian army was not simple, so he heard that Finally, he just murmured to himself, looking thoughtful.

He raised his head and looked at the doubtful looks cast by the generals who had come to their senses. After thinking for a moment, he explained, After hearing the news about my brother breaking through the Thunder Legion's blockade a few days ago, I had a gut feeling that something was wrong, but after studying the terrain Picture, after comprehensively collecting the intelligence, I still couldn’t see any clues, so I didn’t think much about it and just thought I was being overly concerned. But now it seems...

Spreading his hands, Lansha said helplessly, This should be a trap deliberately set by Bran. The purpose is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and to watch his brother's army and their henchmen suffer from the Gray Army. A situation of carnage.”

Hey... The middle-aged officer took a deep breath after hearing this, and his expression changed drastically, It must be so! No wonder His Highness Wu collided with the gray-clothed army as soon as he opened the gap... How could it be like this? What a coincidence, damn it, treacherous Bran!”

I asked how His Highness Wu could hit the hinterland of Bran so easily. It turned out that he was used as a gun by the Bran people...

Then should we send someone to inform His Highness Xiawu?

Don't think about it. It's not like you don't know His Highness Wu's temperament. It would be okay if he didn't suffer a loss, but now he has really suffered a big loss. Even if we send someone to notify him and know that this is a trap, he will not easily Retreating...

That's true...

Come here! Looking at the generals who were gloating about their misfortune and making sarcastic remarks, Lan Sha frowned slightly, her expression darkened, and she raised her head directly to call to Andre who was standing by, Did you hear what we just said... Okay, immediately send someone to inform His Highness Wu, asking him not to tangle with the gray army any more, and the more serious thing is to bypass the other side's territory and penetrate into the hinterland of Bran.

Yes! Although he guessed that Wu most likely wouldn't care about Lansha's opinion, Andre simply nodded in agreement after hearing this.

Wait... Calling Andre, Lansha said again, Don't say this is my opinion, well, just say it's Mr. Tai's suggestion.

Tai Lao is also a senior barbarian general, but he is now fighting in the Cangyan War Zone. Of course, this is not the point. The point is that this person has a good relationship with Wu... Obviously, Lansha is also aware of the problem. If Wu heard that this opinion came from her, he would probably do the opposite and even want to capture the gray-clothed army.

Seeing Lan Sha determined to help Wu, the barbarian generals around him suddenly felt a little embarrassed, knowing that they didn't say anything nice just now.

Just as the atmosphere was getting colder, a big barbarian man came running from the front covered with sweat. Before he could catch his breath, he shouted hurriedly: General, urgent report from the front! Several Zichen troops counterattacked in large numbers and were close to the front of our advancing front... Huchi...

Uh...what did you say?

Counterattack? How is that possible!

Are the Bran people collectively crazy...

...(To be continued...)
