The commander of the Imperial Patrol, Ethereal Ninja, naturally didn't enter the tunnels of Yuan Shao's alliance with the intention of destroying the craftsmen within.
It must be known that there were quite a number of Yuan Shao's alliance soldiers guarding the tunnels. It was to the extent that there was a sentry every three steps and a sentry every five steps. However, in order to prevent affecting the craftsmen from constructing the Thunderclap Chariots, these guards were stationed in a nodal formation.
Actually, the Ethereal Ninja only had one goal in mind when he entered the tunnels — — to steal the tendon-type materials that the Yuan Shao's alliance needed to construct the Thunderclap Chariots. In other words, the tendons of wild cows and wild horses were used to activate the Thunderclap Chariots.
After the Imperial Patrol entered the tunnels to investigate, they already knew that it was basically impossible to forcefully assault the tunnels. After all, the Ethereal Ninja's fighting strength wasn't that strong. It was impossible to rely on other soldiers to easily enter the tunnels.
As for relying on aerial pets to launch air attacks, it was even more impossible to talk about. The reason why the Yuan Shao's alliance dug the tunnels was to avoid most attacks, including air attacks. It wasn't realistic to purely rely on some sort of method to destroy the tunnels.
Fortunately, the Imperial Patrol discovered a few areas that could be tampered with. Among them, the easiest method was to steal the tendon-type materials.
Not to mention the large amount of other materials, in the current stage where the attributes of most spatial type items were restricted, even if the Ethereal Ninja could steal them, he wouldn't be able to store them. Destroying the tunnels would definitely attract the attention of others.
Even the tendon-type materials were extremely difficult to destroy. The fact that they could be used to activate the Thunderclap Chariots showed how tough and flexible they were. Ordinary weapons like swords and blades wouldn't be able to cause any damage to them.
However, even though it was difficult to destroy the tendon-type materials, they were one of the easiest materials to move. At the same time, even though most of the attributes of spatial type items were restricted, the inventory space could still be used.
With these two prerequisites, the Imperial Patrol and the Ethereal Ninja created the conditions for them to wreak havoc.
After the Ethereal Ninja entered the tunnels, he began to sneak around stealthily. Even though the number of soldiers guarding the tunnels wasn't small, none of them could see through the Ethereal Ninja's concealment, unless there was a famous historical figure present.
Of course, it didn't mean that the Void Spirit Ninjas couldn't be discovered by soldiers of the same or higher level. There were many ways to deal with the Void Spirit Ninjas in the three kingdoms.
However, Void Spirit Ninja had only appeared for a short time, and his activities were very secretive. The number of times he took action was very limited, so the various forces didn't pay attention to him.
Under such circumstances, the Ethereal Ninja displayed his unique ability to his heart's content. In the narrow and long tunnel, the Ethereal Ninja almost simultaneously cleaned up all the tendons and tendons used to build the Thunderclap Chariot and put them all into his own backpack.
Due to the harassment of the flying pets, the outside of the tunnel was in a mess. Many of the guards were focused on the outside of the tunnel, and most of the craftsmen had stopped their work. This provided an opportunity for the Ethereal Ninja to make his move.
"Eh? Where's the buffalo tendon? "
When some of the craftsmen in the tunnel reacted and began to have doubts, the Imperial Guards and the Ethereal Ninja had already finished their work and were preparing to escape from the tunnel together.
The Imperial Guards were able to communicate with the Ethereal Ninjas at the same time through Ninja means. This provided a prerequisite for the Ethereal Ninjas to move together. It was the same when the Ethereal Ninjas stole the tendon materials, and now it was the same when the Ethereal Ninjas were escaping together.
Because of this, the Ethereal Ninjas were able to complete the entire process in a few breaths of time. This caused the craftsmen and guards in the tunnel to be caught off guard.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh … "
"Pu! Pu! Pu … "
"…"
Through the Ethereal Ninja who stayed by Yang Rui's side, Yang Rui also understood that the Imperial Sentinel Guards and their Ethereal Ninja had reached the critical moment of their escape. Thus, he mobilized almost all of his flying pets and launched a concentrated attack on the area near the tunnel.
A large number of fireballs fell from the sky. Even the craftsmen and guards in the tunnel were greatly shocked, to the point that the first few craftsmen who discovered the missing tendon materials were overshadowed.
Following a wave of sharp attacks, while the ground around the tunnel was still filled with sparks of fire, the Imperial Patrol Guards and the Ethereal Ninjas managed to escape. Compared to when they entered the tunnel, they didn't seem to have suffered any losses.
After getting out of the tunnel, the Ethereal Ninjas were like birds entering the forest, or fish returning to the sea. The wide sea allowed the fish to leap, and the high sky allowed the birds to fly. Shuttling back and forth in the camp of Yuan Shao's allies, it was a very difficult task for the enemy to find them and drag them out.
By the time the Imperial Guards had gathered all the Kongling Secret Ninjas who had participated in the operation and made a silent count, they discovered that there were about fifty to sixty Kongling Secret Ninjas who had died when they entered the tunnel, but there were less than ten Kongling Secret Ninjas who had died when they exited the tunnel.
Compared to the number of Ethereal Ninjas who participated in the operation, these two numbers could be said to be a drop in the ocean. Thus, even if Yuan Shao's allies managed to retrieve the tendon materials from the Ethereal Ninjas who died, the amount would be extremely small. This would greatly limit the number of Thunder Chariots that could be built.
In fact, tendon materials weren't that rare. Most importantly, all of the Feudal Lords had used all of their strength and brought out almost all of their stock. Wanting to gather more materials now was undoubtedly a faraway water that couldn't quench the immediate thirst.
Yang Rui's harassment attacks stopped when the Imperial Guards and the Ethereal Ninjas escaped. After that, there was no more talk for the rest of the night. Regardless of whether it was Yang Rui's side or Yuan Shao's allies, there were no more movements.
After all, it was a world of ice and snow, and the northwest wind blew violently. It wasn't a suitable season for armies to march and fight. It was just that the game's background had coincidentally advanced the storyline.
It wasn't just that night. After losing the progress of the Thunder Chariot construction, Yuan Shao's allies didn't make any further movements the next day. It was as if they had given up.
It should be noted that the backlines of the various Vassals participating in the conference weren't that peaceful. Yang Rui and the various players were wreaking havoc and restraining, and if they weren't stopped effectively, the Vassals of the Vassals might lose their base.
