"Hahaha, good! With the seniors here, we won't have to worry about the Goguryeons being unable to subdue them. "
Wang Chong chuckled.
At this moment, he felt that his previous decision was a wise one. With Ma Yinlong and the others around, his plan could be considered complete.
They had fought with the Goguryeons for more than a decade now, and they had a deep understanding of their actions and habits. With them around, the success rate of the operation against the Goguryeons would be greatly increased.
"With The Eagle around, it won't be a problem for us to find the Goguryeon base. However, this is far from sufficient."
Ma Yinlong wasn't as optimistic as Wang Chong.
"It doesn't matter how many Goguryeons, including the Goguryeon assassins, die here. The Goguryeon empire can send more people over at any moment. To them, this bit of damage is nothing. The one I'm truly worried about is King Sosurim. "
Ma Yinlong frowned deeply.
"Shoot the horse first, and capture the bandits first. Even if we manage to foil their operation, I'm not confident that we'll be able to capture King Sosurim. As long as he's around, the Goguryeons can still launch a second, third... or perhaps even more frenzied vengeance. This isn't a loss that we can afford. "
Ma Yinlong said.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the room turned tense once more. Even the steel guards of the Chi Clan could understand the meaning behind Ma Yinlong's words.
King Sosurim was the root of everything. If they couldn't capture him, no matter how many Goguryeons they killed, they would still be defeated if he were to carry out his vengeance.
"Brother Ma is right. Gongzi, you haven't interacted with King Sosurim before, so you don't understand him. He might seem cautious at times, but there are times when he can be extremely frenzied. He's definitely capable of doing such a thing. "
Steel Arms, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stepped forward and said with a grim expression.
"Back then, we did reap quite a harvest. We killed many of the Goguryeon elites in the capital. But after the incident, King Sosurim began his vengeance. Under the frenzied assassination of the Goguryeons, the brothers from back then were either killed or wounded. In the end, only the few of us were left. It was then that I lost my left hand. "
The other two did not speak, but their expressions revealed the same thoughts.
Wang Chong frowned as he recalled the ferocity and viciousness of the Goguryeon warriors on the night of the assault on the Kunwu Training Camp.
Given their personalities, this kind of thing was completely possible.
At this moment, Wang Chong realized that he had overlooked something. He had underestimated the matter of dealing with the Goguryeons.
Given the current situation, if they couldn't capture King Sosurim, their actions would be meaningless. Even if King Sosurim failed this time, he could still launch a second, third, or even fourth large-scale assassination.
If they couldn't withstand it, they could even delay it indefinitely, waiting for them to relax before taking action. They could guard it for a month and be on high alert, but what about a year or two?
The crux of this operation was no longer whether they could find the Goguryeon base or how many Goguryeons they could kill. Instead, it was whether they could capture King Sosurim, the Goguryeon spy king.
"Seniors, do you have any ideas?"
Wang Chong raised his head and asked.
"Hehe, it's simple! Gongzi, weren't you afraid of alerting the Goguryeon base? That's why you didn't make a move on them in the past. But the situation is different now. What we need to do is to alert them! "
Ma Yinlong narrowed his eyes, and a cold glint gleamed in them.
"It's about time to wipe out the Goguryeon bases in the capital. Gongzi, there's no need to hold back in this operation. Only by destroying the Goguryeon bases in the capital will we be able to foil King Sosurim's plans. Only then will we be able to make him reveal his flaws.
"I know him well, and he won't cancel his plans so easily. On the contrary, he will speed up the execution of his plans. As the Goguryeon spy king, he's too conceited. Besides, to him, no matter how many losses there are, sacrificing the Goguryeons is nothing to him! "
At the end of his words, Ma Yinlong slammed his fist on the table. Even Wang Chong felt his heart palpitating at the sight of it.
As his nemesis, he really wanted to kill King Sosurim with his own hands.
"Don't worry. Leave this matter to me! "
After a moment of silence, Wang Chong nodded.
…
After leaving the Royal Jade Pavilion, Wang Chong headed straight for the King of Song's residence. From the King of Song, Wang Chong obtained a token for the mobilization of the royal guards.
Only a king of the royal family like the King of Song was capable of such a feat.
After settling this matter, Wang Chong went to meet his uncle, Li Lin. Dealing with the Goguryeons would be a huge contribution if he could do it well.
As the saying went, 'Keep the goodies within the family'. Toward his own family, Wang Chong treated them well. In any case, he wouldn't be able to benefit from this matter.
Wang Chong's uncle, Li Lin, was also very straightforward. After hearing Wang Chong's words, he discussed it with the commander of the Imperial Army, Zhao Fengchen, and decided to dispatch a large group of Imperial Army soldiers to assist Li Lin.
With this group of soldiers, Wang Chong had around four thousand experts under him. Based on Wang Chong's request, there were also quite a few master archers among them.
Putting aside using this army to encircle the Goguryeons, it was more than sufficient to fight a small-scale battle on the battlefield.
The capital was under the feet of the Son of Heaven. In order to not cause too much panic and chaos among the populace, as well as to prevent the Goguryeons from sensing anything amiss beforehand, the operation was decided to be carried out at night instead.
"Are you all ready?"
Amidst the darkness, Wang Chong stood beneath a tree and gazed at the residence from afar. The lights in the residence were extremely bright, and they served as a beacon to guide the crowd.
"Get ready. Master archers were stationed at all the crucial junctions. If anyone were to leave the residence, death would be the only outcome. Gongzi, don't worry. "
On the crown of a lush tree behind him, a speed-type Imperial Army soldier squatted down and said grimly. From Zhang Xuan's angle, he could see numerous fully-armored Imperial Army soldiers surrounding the courtyard in the distance.
These Imperial Army soldiers were well-trained elites, and according to Wang Chong's request, the frontmost row was equipped with heavy armor and shields.
The encirclement was slowly shrinking, but without Wang Chong's orders, no one dared to attack recklessly.
"Get ready! Release the signal! "
Wang Chong stared into the distance with a cold expression before swinging his arm down.
Boom!
The response to Wang Chong's words was a brilliant firework that soared into the clouds. The dazzling sparks and a long trail of smoke trailed behind it, making it particularly eye-catching in the dark night.
— — This was the signal to attack!
"Kill! — — "
In the next instant, battle cries reverberated in the air. Under the starry sky, brilliant Halos of Thorns bloomed in the darkness like beautiful flowers.
From the first base where Wang Chong and the others were at, to the second base, to the third base … all the way to the fourteenth base, almost all of the Goguryeons' bases in the Tang Dynasty's capital were under attack.
Three to four thousand Royal Guards and the City Defense Army were like wolves and tigers. Under the starry night, they crossed the city walls and charged into the courtyards with high walls.
Shieldbearers, master archers, cavalrymen … All of them worked together, from defense to offense. All of the Goguryeon bases were tightly surrounded, making it impossible for even a drop of water to pass through.
"Enemy attack! — — "
From afar, a shrill cry in Goguryeon resounded across the sky. The Goguryeon sentries had finally noticed the Imperial Army.
【Congratulations to user for killing 21 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
All of a sudden, a familiar voice sounded in Wang Chong's ears. Boom! Along with this voice, a powerful gale blew, and surges of energy surged into Wang Chong's body from all directions.
"What's going on?"
Sensing the changes in his body, Wang Chong was stunned. The operation had just begun, and he hadn't killed a single Goguryeon yet. Why would he receive such a notice?
However, before Wang Chong could clear his doubts, something even more shocking happened.
【Congratulations to user for killing 22 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 23 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 24 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 25 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
…
A series of cold and familiar voices echoed in Wang Chong's head, leaving him dumbfounded. Dense Origin Energy gathered from all directions and converted into Wang Chong's strength.
In just a short period of time, the progress of Wang Chong's Bane of the Battlefield aura had already surpassed the sum of the past few months. Furthermore, this number was still increasing rapidly.
Shock!
Doubt!
Everything that was happening before him had far exceeded Wang Chong's expectations. But the constantly growing energy of the Bane of the Battlefield Halo in his body clearly reminded him that everything was real.
【Congratulations to user for killing 35 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 36 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 37 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
…
【Congratulations to user for killing 49 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 50 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 51 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
…
A series of notifications sounded, and Wang Chong was completely stunned by this pleasant surprise. Almost subconsciously, Wang Chong released the Bane of the Battlefield aura in his body.
Weng! Amidst the darkness, massive ripples that only Wang Chong could see spread out in all directions.
This time, even at a distance of 1200 meters, Wang Chong could clearly see white ripples appearing beneath the feet of the Goguryeon soldiers in the courtyard.
Different from the first aura, all of the Goguryeon soldiers caught in the white ripples were weakened significantly.
Panic spread among the Goguryeons. Clearly, they had sensed the abnormality in their bodies.
In an instant, the casualties of the Goguryeons increased!
【Congratulations to user for killing 81 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 82 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 83 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
…
【Congratulations to user for killing 101 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 102 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
【Congratulations to user for killing 103 soldiers of the Goguryeo Empire!】
…
Information gushed into Wang Chong's head like a waterfall. At the same time, the ripples around Wang Chong grew even more intense.
