The camp was silent late at night. Other than the patrolling sentries, most of the soldiers had already rested. No one knew that a figure was wandering in the camp like a ghost, reaping the lives of one officer after another.
After an unknown period of time, a shrill cry suddenly tore through the night.
“Enemy attack!”
Clang! Clang! Clang! A hurried and ear-piercing gong sounded, waking up the entire camp.
One by one, the soldiers ran out of the tent, but they did not discover anything wrong. They were immediately bewildered, not knowing what was going on.
Everyone turned around and realized that those around them were also at a loss.
There should have been an officer giving the orders, but no one appeared at this moment. What was going on?
At this moment, a patrolling sentry suddenly screamed.
“There’s an assassin! The commander is dead!”
The news spread like wildfire, and the entire camp immediately exploded.
Because there was no one to command, many people ran around like headless flies. A small number of soldiers spontaneously stabilized their colleagues and gathered towards the source of the shout.
After a while, the soldiers in the camp finally stabilized. After figuring out the situation, they were shocked out of their wits.
The middle and upper echelons of the entire team were almost completely wiped out. Not only was Commander Liu’s throat cut, but most of the commanders and heads of the various battalions were also assassinated and died in the tent.
The sentries did not discover the assassin. Later on, a group of people patrolled past a certain officer’s tent and realized that the guards were missing. The tent was strangely quiet, and they smelled blood. Only then did they notice that someone had performed an assassination.
The murderer did not appear, but inside Commander Liu’s tent, he wrote a sentence in blood:
“Chen Feng of the Lu River came here for a stroll!”
Now that Chen Feng was extremely famous in the Lu River, many soldiers had heard of him and were terrified.
Soon, everyone moved the corpses of the various officers out and lined them up.
Everyone had their throats slit with a saber. Even the general who usually displayed extraordinary martial arts was killed with a single slash. No one showed any signs of resistance.
The soldiers were terrified at the sight.
This Chen Feng had actually sneaked into the camp silently and taken the lives of more than half of the officers… This person was really a Yama King!
Almost all the mid- to high-level officers who were qualified to make decisions were dead. The command system was half paralyzed, and the army fell into chaos.
Many soldiers were stunned, not knowing what to do. Should they continue to exterminate the bandits or return home?
… Moreover, Chen Feng might not have left yet and was still mixed in the camp…
For a moment, many soldiers felt threatened and did not dare to be alone. Their morale fell to rock bottom, and their hearts wavered.
However, taking advantage of the chaos, Zhou Jing had long left.
On the slope, Zhou Jing took off the “borrowed” soldiers’ clothes and armor and looked at the chaotic camp from afar.
The light from the torches were like fireflies in the night. All the soldiers became frightened and started to search around in groups with torches.
“This wave should be enough to make the Lu River generals tremble in fear. In the future, if any officer receives the order to deal with me, they will have to consider their own lives first.”
Zhou Jing’s eyes glowed as they reflected the flames.
He opened the interface and looked at the benefits of this projection.
He had easily obtained two more Life Episodes. One was the [Single Spear Flattening Two Mountains] that he had obtained a while ago, and the other was the [Walking Through The Camp At Night Alone] that he had just obtained tonight. Both provided Legendary Points and increased his daily benefits.
The completion rate of [World’s Best] and [Massacre of All] had also increased a little, but there was still a long way to go.
At this point, the synchronization rate of the apostle Chen Feng, had already increased to 50.6%. He had reached the third stage and his progress was not bad. At the same time, under the enhancement of his Purple Grade martial arts aptitude and Accelerated Learning, Chen Feng’s skills had even increased slightly in battle.
The few martial arts he knew were already not low in level. Every level up was much harder than when he first learned them, but the bonuses provided each time were also higher.
The support function [Character Level System] had been upgraded from Level 3 to Level 5, providing him with 3 points of additional attributes. Zhou Jing threw it into his Resistance as usual.
“The gains from this projection are alright, mainly focused on making a name for myself. The impact of what I’ve done is not small, and the benefits of the Information State Particles will probably not be small…”
Zhou Jing turned around and walked into the distance, leaving the chaotic camp behind.
…
The commander was dead, and the An Zhou army was leaderless. In the end, they all chose to return to the prefecture.
The scouts who were searching outside were also shocked when they learned of the situation. They could only stop chasing Zhou Jing and retreat together.
It had only been a few days since the bandit suppression team set off, but they had already returned dejectedly. The entire capital was in an uproar.
The remaining officer in the army went to see the magistrate and braced himself to tell him the whole story.
The magistrate of An Zhou was dumbfounded after hearing the recount, as if he had just listened to a heavenly scripture. He said in surprise, “Then how did Chen Feng infiltrate the army and kill Commander Liu and the other generals?”
“This… This person’s martial arts are extraordinary. I’m afraid no one can stop him from being an assassin…”
The officer responded carefully.
The magistrate of An Zhou slammed the table and said angrily, “Ridiculous! You have 6,000 troops camped. Could it be that Chen Feng came and went as he pleased? You must have been careless, that’s why this happened!”
The officer lowered his head, not daring to refute.
The magistrate of An Zhou calmed down for a while before turning to look at the other generals who had yet to set off.
“I’m very heartbroken by Commander Liu’s death, but I didn’t lose many troops. It’s a blessing that we can eliminate the bandits. Which one of you is willing to lead the troops?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the generals who were listening looked at each other in silence.
This was originally an opportunity to obtain credit. Usually, it would only belong to a trusted aide like Commander Liu, not them.
