A few hours later!
Zhao Fu led his soldiers, as well as Bai Qi and a few of his Generals, to a hillside and looked at the Town in the distance. Because the Town was different from a Village, it had its own defenses. If Zhao Fu's soldiers recklessly advanced, they would definitely be exposed.
At this moment, a few black-hooded Ratman Assassins knelt on the ground and respectfully reported, "Your Highness! We've already captured a captive, and we've used torture to make him submit. "
Hearing this, Zhao Fu turned his head and said softly, "Bring him up!"
"Yes!"
The soldier obeyed and brought a middle-aged man with a wretched appearance to Zhao Fu. The middle-aged man had bloodstains on his body and a look of fear on his face. After he was brought in, he knelt on the ground and trembled.
When he saw such a powerful group of soldiers appear here and that he had been captured, he could sense that something was wrong. He knew that the Town was in danger, and he knew that the Town would definitely lose. On his way here, he saw that not only did the soldiers all have powerful auras, but they were also all equipped with Silver grade equipment.
There were at least 20,000 soldiers, while the Town's population was only 30,000. 5,000 of them were soldiers, and this was already a sure loss for the Town. It was impossible for the Town to win, and the key was how the other side would conquer the Town.
Therefore! He had chosen to surrender rationally in order to preserve his life.
"What's your name?"
Suddenly, a young man's dignified voice sounded out, and the middle-aged man immediately replied, "Sir, it's a small matter. My name is He Jian. "
Zhao Fu's gaze fell on He Jiancheng. "Then tell me roughly what you know, mainly about your town's military strength, population, and lord. Be more detailed!"
"Yes … yes … yes."
He Jian immediately agreed, trembling. He understood that this was the key to his survival. He then began to tell Zhao Fu everything he knew about the town.
After learning this information, Zhao Fu briefly sorted it out!
This Town was called Highstone Town, and the Mayor was called Xiang Shaotian. His strength was at Stage 2, and Highstone Town's population was 30,000. There were roughly 5,000 soldiers, and most of them were equipped with Common grade equipment. Normally, there would be three exploration teams outside.
This was mainly to find resources or Villages outside of the Territory. Highstone Town had already devoured a few Villages, so its development was slightly faster than ordinary Towns.
This scouting team should be the team that broke into Qin's territory. Each of these three scouting teams had about 300 people. Now, there were still two teams that would not return until tomorrow afternoon, so the number of troops could be reduced by 600.
In terms of defense, there were both open and hidden sentries scattered around the Town. There were also some soldiers patrolling the Town, and they did a very good job. Zhao Fu was quite impressed with the Mayor.
Zhao Fu also asked about the location of the barracks, because most soldiers were either training or cultivating when they had nothing to do. If there were no accidents, they wouldn't all be guarding the city walls.
He Jian obediently told Zhao Fu the location of the barracks. It was on the west side of the town. After learning about it, Zhao Fu had an idea.
After ordering people to bring He Jian away, Zhao Fu started to discuss with Bai Qi and the others, and they prepared to take action that night.
…
Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was already midnight. However, at this moment, it started to drizzle, bringing with it a trace of coldness. There were no stars in the night sky, and it was quite dark. Visibility was not good, and the sound of the rain affected one's hearing.
This was a good time to take action!
Within the forest near Highstone Town, there were 30 or so soldiers in charge of hidden sentries. Some were hiding in trees, some were hiding in bushes, and some were hiding behind large rocks. They vigilantly looked around, and as soon as there was even the slightest movement, they would know.
However, the night was completely dark, and it was drizzling. In this sort of environment, it was easy for people to relax, as it was impossible for them to be constantly on guard.
Hearing the sound of the rain falling, they looked around in the darkness. It was just like before, and nothing much had changed. They continued to stand guard, not knowing that death was approaching them.
Suddenly!
Like a gust of wind, a figure wearing a black hood appeared behind a hidden sentinel. The sentinel was startled, and just as he was about to shout, his mouth was covered. A sharp dagger slit his throat, causing blood to spurt out. Before the sentinel died, a look of shock appeared on his face, as if he hadn't expected this.
At the same time as this sentinel died, another 7 sentinels were killed. With so many sentinels dying in such a short period of time, a few of the more experienced sentinels immediately felt that something was wrong. They wanted to shout out to everyone to be on guard and let Highstone Town know that an enemy had appeared.
However, before they could even shout, arrows pierced through their chests, causing them to die in an instant.
At this moment, it was quite easy for Assassins to deal with sentinels. This could be considered as a type of weapon that countered the sentinels.
After dealing with the hidden sentinels, Zhao Fu killed the sentinels in the open and immediately ordered Wang Jian to take some soldiers, roughly 300 Hundred Ghost Illusionists, to the west of the town.
After dealing with the sentinels, things became much easier.
Under the cover of the night, Wang Jian and his soldiers stealthily made their way to the west side of the town. At this time, the Hundred Ghost Illusionists raised their staffs made from locust wood. Locust wood was a type of Ghost Tree, and the staffs made from it were perfect for Hundred Ghost Illusionists.
The 300 magic staffs gave off a faint grey light, resonating with each other and giving off a strange energy fluctuation.
"Dark Ghost World!"
At this moment, the 300 Hundred Ghost Illusionists inwardly cried out and used a skill, stabbing their magic staffs into the ground.
A formless energy fluctuation instantly spread out!
Strands of grey ghostly qi drilled out from the ground and quickly spread out. In just a few moments, it had covered the entire west side of Highstone Town. From the outside, it looked like the west side of Highstone Town was completely covered in grey fog, giving off an eerie and terrifying aura.
Not only the people who were sleeping soundly, but even the soldiers standing on the city wall did not notice anything. They only saw the fog, and then the scene before their eyes flashed, and their surroundings changed. There was nothing, only darkness, and they were left standing alone in the same place.
A grey ghostly moon appeared in the sky, and numerous malicious ghosts drilled out from the ground and pounced towards the soldiers.
The soldiers attacked with their swords in fear, but found that no matter how they attacked, they couldn't hit the ghosts. As such, they could only run in fear. However, no matter how they ran, they couldn't escape from this place.
