In the dark and secluded space, there was a majestic palace.
No. 6, No. 7, No. 8, and No. 10 were kneeling on the ground respectfully.
In front of them was a luxurious and domineering throne, and on the throne sat a black shadow.
Because the light was too dim, the black shadow's outline was already blurred, and only a pair of scarlet eyes could be seen.
"You should all be very clear about the consequences of failing the mission, right?" A man's voice rang out in the darkness.
The voice was very calm, so calm that it was like a daily conversation between acquaintances. But it was this calm voice that sounded like a devil's roar in the ears of the four people, causing them to break out in a cold sweat.
The Assassination Society was an extremely perverted organization, and this organization had almost zero tolerance for failure.
The Assassination Society would never allow any failure of an assassin, and they didn't need any failed assassins.
Since its establishment, the Assassination Society's mission completion rate was as high as 99% and above.
So far, just this branch alone had carried out thousands of assassination missions. And the number of mission failures was only ten times.
And those ten assassins who failed all died under the cruel torture of the Assassination Society in the end.
This was the Assassination Society, a place where only success was allowed, and failure was not tolerated.
"Branch leader, please calm down. We had already succeeded in this mission. But unexpectedly, at the last moment, that woman suddenly appeared and protected the mission target, "No. 6 explained in fear and trepidation.
The calm man's voice rang out in the darkness again, "That woman? Why would she help that kid? "
No. 6 shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either, but if she hadn't appeared, that kid Lin Yun would have been caught and brought to you by now."
The branch leader's voice continued, "That kid's name is Lin Yun? This name is quite familiar, could it be Lin Tianyang's son? So that's why … No wonder she wanted to help that kid. "
Seeing the branch leader talking to himself, the assassins below were all confused, and they had no idea what was going on. Could it be that Lin Tianyang and that woman had some sort of relationship?
After pondering for a while, the branch leader said, "Since it's because of that woman, then there's nothing we can do about failing the mission. This time, I'll let you off for now."
If an assassin at the bottom of the ranking failed to carry out a mission, regardless of the reason, it would be difficult for him to escape death in the end.
However, it was different for the assassins who were ranked near the top. They were the top combat power of the branch. If they were executed just because they failed a mission, it would be too much of a waste of the resources that had been invested into them.
"Thank you, Branch President, for your kindness!" The four of them cupped their fists and thanked him respectfully.
The branch leader continued, "Did you just say that the kid's second Martial Soul possesses an extremely powerful ocular technique, and he used it to defeat the White Bone Eagle King of the Ming Cult?"
The four of them nodded and replied in unison, "Yes, branch president. We saw it with our own eyes."
Just as the four of them finished speaking, the sound of steady footsteps rang out.
A figure emerged from the darkness and slowly walked to the side of the four. He cupped his fists towards the branch president on the throne and said, "I'm very interested in that kid's ocular technique. Branch president, please send me to meet him this time."
The four of them subconsciously looked towards the person who spoke. As the light was too dim, the four of them couldn't see his face clearly. They could only see the spiral dart totem on his forehead and the number "5" below the totem.
The branch president glanced at the person, then said in a calm tone, "I know that you're also good at ocular techniques, but I don't want any mishaps in the future missions."
"So this time, let's just send Number 3. I think among the assassins in our branch, there's no one more suitable than him to deal with that kid."
Number 5 originally wanted to fight for it, but when he heard Number 3, he immediately shut his mouth. Indeed, as the branch president said, there was no one more suitable than Number 3 to carry out this mission, because Number 3 was completely the nemesis of ocular techniques!
…
After the fall of the Northern Yan Kingdom, the territory of Northern Yan became the base of the allied forces.
Every state and county in Northern Yan was garrisoned by the allied forces. And the state and county with the most troops was the northernmost Northern Yan, Beicang County.
Beicang County was an important strategic location, because it was not only the northernmost state of Northern Yan, but also the northernmost combat base of the Southeast region.
The territory of the Thousand Kingdoms was divided into nine regions: East, West, South, North, Southeast, Northeast, Southwest, Northwest, and Central.
And the edge of each region was connected by continuous mountain ranges, these mountain ranges were called the Dividing Mountain Range.
The Dividing Mountain Range was not only steep, but its average altitude was more than ten thousand meters.
For ordinary people, a ten thousand meter peak was no different than an insurmountable moat. Warriors below the Martial Warrior level could not pass it at all.
Even Martial Warrior level warriors would find it difficult to climb to the peak, this was also the reason why the regions were separated from each other.
The Dividing Mountain Range at the edge of the Southeast region only had a total of two gaps.
If the Southeast region wanted to communicate with other regions, they had to pass through these two gaps.
The first gap was located in the west, connecting to the South region.
The second gap was located in the north, connecting to the East region.
And the second gap was located in the Northern Yan Kingdom's Beicang County.
It was not an exaggeration to say that Beicang County was the pass of the Southeast region.
The branch of the Assassination Society was obviously not in the Southeast region. The five hundred thousand elites of the Assassination Society that were transferred to Northern Yan were also transferred from the kingdoms in the East region.
From this, it could be seen that the kingdoms in the East region had probably all become the subordinate countries of the Assassination Society.
As long as the pass of Beicang County was blocked, the Assassination Society would not be able to transfer the troops from the East region to the Southeast region to fight.
Without being able to transfer the troops to fight, just the few assassins from the Assassination Society, no matter how strong they were individually, would not be able to fight against four hands. They would not be able to fight against the experts from the various kingdoms.
After all, there were more than a hundred King Wu experts in the eight kingdoms. Adding on the King Wu experts from the two sects, there would be at least one hundred and fifty of them.
Even if it was a Martial Ancestor Realm assassin, one hundred and fifty King Wu experts would be able to exhaust him to death. Furthermore, there was still Lin Yun, who was comparable to a Martial Ancestor Realm expert on the allied forces' side.
As long as the troops from the East region could not be transferred over, the allied forces would have enough time to seek help from the West region and rope in more powers to join the alliance.
Therefore, the allied forces viewed Beicang County as the most important place. There were a total of eight hundred thousand soldiers stationed at the border fortress of this county, an entire army.
As for the deputy commander of this army, he was once the strongest expert in the Southeast region, the Marshal of the Great Qin Empire.
In the half a month that they had been stationed there, Beicang had been peaceful. There had not been any attacks, nor had there been any harassment from the enemy.
