If Bazel was by his side, Renn would probably choose to take a good rest. After all, he was a little tired after walking in the desert for a day.
But now, he had to be vigilant at all times. In the wilderness, any carelessness may cost one's life.
He didn't sleep either, but meditated in his tent.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already after midnight.
... .
At about two or three in the morning, the temporary captain of the regiment, the third-level assassin Frank, came over on time and greeted him and Tam in the tent next to him, "Brother Nicholas, brother Tam, wake up and it's time for us to change the guard. "
"OK."
When Ren heard the noise, he actually opened his eyes. Next to him, Tam also emerged from the tent.
Captain Frank pointed to the fire in the west in the darkness and said: "You two go to the west gate and replace Tom and Jerry..."
Ren and Tam both nodded: "Yes."
During the day, the terrain of this small city has been trampled over by everyone. Although the square city was dilapidated, it still had a rough outline.
There are five sentries in the camp, each with two men.
There is a point at the highest point of the city, and then there are four directions: east, west, north and south. This arrangement ensures that problems in any direction can be detected in time.
Tam picked up the holster with the musket attached and hung it on his waist, then put on the gloves and called to Ren: "Let's go, Brother Nicholas."
Renn also nodded.
The two of them walked towards the fire about seven or eight hundred meters away from the west gate.
The two figures gradually left the firelight range of the camp and merged into the darkness.
Tam probably just got out of the tent. The cold wind at night made him shiver. As he walked, he said, "Don't mention it. The sun in this desert is very harsh during the day, and it's also bitingly cold at night."
Ren was noncommittal and responded casually: "A little bit."
Don't tell me, he really didn't feel cold.
He practices the [Qigong Master] Sequential Breathing Method. His fighting energy lasts for a long time and his ability to withstand the cold is quite strong. Especially now that his fighting spirit is three to five times that of the same level, he naturally doesn't feel that the temperature difference will have much impact.
At this time, Tam muttered: "This desert is really quiet. In other places, you can still hear the noise of some animals at night. There are no other living things here except us. People feel like the wind is whistling."
Ren's brows raised slightly when he heard this, and he unconsciously looked at his surroundings.
It was dark night all around, and the desert was shrouded in black mist. There were some clouds in the sky, and half of the moonlight did not reach the ground. The surrounding area was as black as ink, and you couldn't see your fingers.
Since it was only a few hundred meters away, the two of them didn't bother to get any torches, so they just walked over in the dark.
If it weren't for the enhanced perception in his "Combat Doctor" sequence, it would have been so blurry that he couldn't even see the shadow, and could only see the fire in the distance.
Seeing this, Renn instinctively felt a sense of alarm.
Like a conditioned reflex, he thought of the professional assassin skills he had learned in the "Weasel Phantom Thieves".
The instructor at that time said that midnight is the time when people are most tired, which is the most suitable time for assassination operations.
But it was just a passing thought.
Ren and the others walked two to three hundred meters and could already see two figures leaning against the battlements, seemingly chatting and spanking. You can even hear the boring sound of banging the steel knife, clang, clang, clang.
Twenty or thirty meters away, Tam shouted to the two men: "Hey! Brother Tom, it's changing of the guard!"
But what was a little surprising was that the two people didn't seem to have any intention of looking back. They still pointed the back of their heads towards them, as if they didn't hear them at all.
At this moment, Ren and Tam stopped at the same time, and they immediately became alert.
Fell asleep
impossible!
For a moment, the silence turned into eerieness.
Tam was an experienced hunter. He didn't know that something was wrong. His body sank slightly and he was already ready for battle.
Yeren's super sense of smell allowed him to smell a faint fishy smell in the air, which was completely different from the dry desert smell. He exclaimed in his heart: "No, it smells of blood!"
But, it's too late!
When they discovered something unusual, the assassin who blended into the night had quietly appeared behind them.
At this time, a cold dagger like a poisonous snake was quietly smeared on their necks!
The dagger was extremely sharp, slicing through the skin as easily as cutting tofu, severing the trachea and arteries. A three-finger-deep wound would make a person unable to even scream and die.
Ren felt so fucked, this was the second time his throat had been wiped.
That familiar silky touch is here again, it’s very addictive.
I don't blame myself for not being careful enough, this environment is really suitable for assassination. The sound of "rustling" wind covered the footsteps of the movement, and the dark night concealed the figure. They are both second-level extraordinary beings. Unless they are specialized in the perception system, it is really difficult to spot the "ghosts" hiding in the dark night.
The key is.
Renn wondered where could a professional assassin appear in this desolate land hundreds of miles deep into the desert
The moment his throat was cut, many thoughts came to his mind.
... .
A very professional assassination method, obviously well prepared!
"Is there a mole?"
Ren thought instantly.
Today, they did not encounter any traces of other hunting teams in the desert. Before setting up camp, I also carefully observed the surrounding environment. Within a radius of more than ten miles, I was sure that there was only one of their hunting teams.
Although the 1% possibility cannot be ruled out that a hunting team was traveling in the dark at night and bumped into them; but the other 99% probability is that these assassins were specially followed!
But this is strange.
Along the way, they also deliberately cleaned up some traces left behind in order to prevent being followed.
What's more, although the temporary wilderness hunting group formed by the "Sequoia Chamber of Commerce" is still in the running-in period, most of the team members have rich wilderness survival experience. It is basically impossible to track without being discovered.
But the fact is that a group of assassins have indeed come and killed people.
That means.
Someone in this team may have left a mark along the way, revealing their whereabouts! After that, the assassins followed the mark and attacked Ye Li.
A simple Phantom Thief attack would never find a team that is exploring and has not yet gained anything. What's more, the team's configuration is not weak, there are two third-level extraordinary ones!
"Vendetta!"
Thinking of this, Renn immediately realized that this might be the enemy who came to trouble the "Sequoia Chamber of Commerce"!
... .
Tam next to him was probably dead, and the warm blood was still spraying on Ren's face.
Renn didn't know how many enemies there were in the darkness, nor did he know who the traitor was in his team. So he didn't fight back. Even though he was sure that he could kill the two assassins with his backhand at that moment.
Although the wound on the neck was still horrific, the trachea, major blood vessels, and nerves were sutured back together the moment they were cut open.
He imitated the dead Tam next to him, and his body went limp.
The two assassins didn't care about the two "corpses" on the ground. In their opinion, they would definitely die if they wiped their throats.
Although he noticed that Ren's body seemed to have strong signs of life, he didn't pay much attention to it.
Because at this time, the battle not far away had already begun.
This time there is a changing of the guard, and there is Captain Frank, a third-level extraordinary person! It's not easy for those guys to assassinate such a high-level transcendent who is also a professional assassin. The discovery of the silent assassination immediately led to a war.
"Enemy attack!"
With this loud roar, the whole camp started boiling instantly as if cold water had dripped into the boiling oil pan.
At this time, Renn also heard the two assassins beside him who had just taken action curse in a low voice, "Damn it, exposed, prepare to kill!"
Then, a breeze blew by.
The light and rapid footsteps were getting farther and farther, and the two assassins were already running towards the camp.
Ren heard that there was no movement in his ears and stood up quietly. The wound on his neck had turned into a blood line and was no longer serious.
He looked at Tam, whose body fell to the ground next to him, with a gloomy expression, "It's a bad start."
If it were another chamber of commerce, he might be able to stand by and watch. After all, this kind of "vendetta" no longer falls within the scope of employment responsibilities of the hunting contract. But the "Redwood Chamber of Commerce" was a subordinate chamber of commerce in Canosha, and he had to go and see it no matter what.
Moreover, since the other party came prepared, he must know that there are two third-level extraordinarys in the camp. If he dared to take action, he was obviously sure of killing him.
When the real group of the Chamber of Commerce is destroyed, Renn will not be able to run far by himself. Facing this group of assassins alone is not a good choice.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Ren's eyes, and he put the pair of [Karnap's Sacred Gloves] in his hands. Then he put on his hood again, disguised himself as a professional assassin, and quietly walked toward the camp.
... .
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The firefight was as intense as firecrackers.
The flares shot into the sky, illuminating this ancient desert city.
Renn saw more than a dozen guys in uniforms hiding behind bunkers and shooting into the camp.
He did not choose to rush directly into the camp, but climbed onto the remains of the city wall, intending to take a look at the situation. Who is the mole and what is the strength of the attacker
This is the highest point in the city. The bodies of the two sentries are lying on the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground.
Then Ren saw one hiding behind the battlements, and another was currently sniping at the camp below with a long-barreled musket.
The guy's perception was also extremely sensitive. As soon as Ren got on the wall, he realized something. Then he turned around and was shocked to see a "stranger" behind him.
Obviously, although Ren's hooded outfit looked similar to the attacking assassins, he was still recognized by the enemy at a glance.
The assassin decisively turned his gun and immediately pulled the trigger towards Ren.
"Bang!"
Muzzle flashes came out.
But another "pop" burst in the air was heard, almost at the same time as the gunshot. Renn avoided the vital point and rushed forward with a musket.
The assassin looked at the charging figure and was not affected at all by being shot. He wanted to abandon the gun and draw out the dagger to defend himself, but his body stiffened for a moment after shooting. Before he could draw out the dagger, he was immediately pinched by a big iron-like hand. Caught in the throat.
There was a "click" sound of bone cracking, and Renn used strange force to break the assassin's neck. Without even struggling, the body slowly collapsed.
Renn ignored the assassin's body, occupied this commanding height, and began to observe the fighting situation in the underground camp.
... ..
At this moment, the camp in the ruins was in chaos.
In two rounds of sentries, it is estimated that at least a dozen members of the hunting team have been assassinated.
There were less than twenty people in the camp now, and just after Captain Frank shouted loudly, everyone reacted.
The number of enemies was unknown, and no one showed up blindly. The city corner they selected previously had many bunkers, which also gave them the opportunity to defend and counterattack.
The large-caliber muskets did a lot of damage to low-level extraordinary beings, so everyone took out their muskets to fight back, and a fierce gun battle broke out in the camp.
Outside the city, two groups of guys with fighting spirit as bright as light bulbs were fighting fiercely. It was Captain Frank and the enemy's third-level assassin.
"There are at least sixteen assassins, one level three..."
Renn's position happened to overlook the overall situation, and he also followed the fire of the musket to find the location of the assassins.
Bang, bang, bang, bang.
The gunfire became more and more intense. But because of the bunker, those assassins had no choice but to
In the camp, Catherine also walked out of the tent, holding two sophisticated muskets in her hands and shooting outside the bunker from time to time. The pampered and beautiful woman president of the "Sequoia Chamber of Commerce" didn't panic much when she was in danger, and her marksmanship seemed to be pretty good. Beside her, Gannix's slightly childish face clearly showed the unprepared nervousness.
Renn stared at everyone in the camp carefully, observing their expressions and reactions.
Now that the war has begun, if there is a "ghost", it will definitely be exposed at this time!
But what's surprising is... almost everyone showed no abnormality, and everyone was focused on designing for the enemies on the periphery.
Renn couldn't help but think in his mind: "Is the 'ghost' outside Captain Frank? That's not right. There is no point in fixing the match now."
And just when he was confused, Thomas, the third-level "Jungle Hunter" captain of the chamber of commerce, rushed to Lady Catherine's side despite the hail of bullets, and said urgently: "Mr. President, if this continues, our camp will be breached sooner or later. I Let me take you and the young master to break out!"
Originally, the guard captain immediately chose to protect his employer when faced with a crisis, which was natural.
But for some reason, Catherine's face froze. She was about to say something, but her face immediately lost all color.
It turned out that before anyone had time to react, Thomas suddenly pulled out a short knife and stabbed Catherine in the chest!
This scene was clearly seen by Ren on the high platform. His pupils shrank suddenly and he shouted in his heart: "This guy is the mole!"
"How could it be him?!"
He had doubted anyone, but he never expected that the captain of the chamber of commerce's guard would actually be a mole!
Moreover, with this knife blow, President Catherine had been stabbed through the body, and blood soaked a large part of her chest and robe. It was too late to save her!
