Chapter 356: Chapter 256: Sneak Attack? I Can’t do That!
It turns out, Long Yi had arrived early at the Red Dragon Empire’s camp. But as it was not yet dark, Long Yi hid in his original location for a while. At the same time, he spent a longer time observing the routine of the camp.
Any commander has their own habits, such as the routine of changing guards. And every individual also has his own habits. Within a professional army, the perimeter scouts are generally fixed personnel. They have keen eyesight and quick reactions.
Long Yi watched from a distance until it was dark, finally managing to understand the routine.
The area here had recently been burnt to ashes. However, the houses here were clearly more finely made, containing quite a lot of rock. Precisely for this reason, there were many places to hide.
Little Zi took advantage of the Female Demon to help Long Yi investigate, gradually discovering the depth of the camp.
"Brother Long, thirty meters ahead, a scout just turned his back." Little Zi said.
Long Yi immediately moved forward quietly, coming to a pile of ash here that had just been burned black. Long Yi had been wearing black clothes in the first place, he quickly smeared his hands and face in black as well. The scout was muttering to himself: "Ah, it’s just an exchange match. How could anyone sneak attack, it’s been a long day, can’t we rest for a bit."
While saying this, a big hand suddenly covered his mouth from behind, meanwhile a cold sensation hit his waist.
"Don’t talk, according to the rules, you’re already dead." Long Yi said.
The scout regretfully nodded in agreement, indicating he understood the rules. At the same time he cursed his bad luck, originally thought it would be boring till the end. Had never dreamt, that someone would really sneak attack!
Long Yi dragged the ’body’ of the scout to the corner and coated him in pitch black. Simultaneously, he silently calculated the time and then tucked himself to one side.
"Brother Long, another person is coming." Little Zi reminded.
Long Yi slightly nodded, silently counting the footsteps of the opponent. Then suddenly moved, the person fell, caught off guard. Just about to shout, a hand suddenly grabs his neck.
"I ask, you answer, if you dare to say a single ’no’, I will twist your neck." Long Yi said.
The man saw Long Yi, suddenly laughed, saying: "We are allies, you won’t."
Long Yi slapped the man on the head: "Damn, can’t we cooperate?"
"No, we brothers are just stubborn." The man said smugly.
"Stubborn? Damn! Fine! Come Little Zi, give this guy a mental suggestion, so that he will get an erection for a sow in his lifetime!" Long Yi said while pinching the man’s face.
"Bro! Brother Long! You are my real brother! You just ask, I promise to tell you everything I know! "
"Damn! What a waste of breath! "
From the man’s mouth, Long Yi learned the arrangements of the camp, and immediately moved towards the interior. Long Yi could not be too fast about this, after all, there were one hundred stationed soldiers here, and he only dealt with ten people before slowly entering the interior.
Once he got close to the interior, the sensitive sense of smell of the Giant Dragon would definitely smell something out of place. So Long Yi was basically moving one step at a time, then stopping and observing. During this, one dragon seemed to have smelled something, which startled Long Yi. He had already been very careful to be downwind, if he could still be smelled, a dragon’s nose is truly beyond reality.
At this point, Long Yi was a bit envious of those small bodies. With such a large body performing such covert operations behind enemy lines, it was really not appropriate.
How to create havoc behind enemy lines? After all, this is not a standard battlefield, the enemy doesn’t have much to worry about.
Soon, Long Yi saw the Dragon Knights, thirty Dragon Knights sitting together in a circle, with Cain in the center, summarizing the gains and losses of today’s battle. From Cain’s tone, it seemed that the Red Dragon Empire had the upper hand. After all, without Long Yi and the others, the White Dragon Empire was short of five people.
Long Yi looked at the laughing Cain and was suddenly filled with anger. You bastards are having a jolly time fighting, and you want me to wait behind the line? "Little Zi, you go and create some chaos, be careful not to be discovered by the Dragon Knights."
Long Yi had an idea.
At this time, Cain was eating and resting, perhaps there would be a local attack in the next moment, but, perhaps we should also sneak attack next?
Suddenly, a stationed soldier ran like a madman. While running, he was also laughing, and then he stumbled and fell to the ground.
What’s the matter? Drunk? A group of Dragon Knights stared at each other in amazement.
Then, another soldier ran over and fell next to the previous soldier.
Following that, one by one, soldiers stood in a line, a soldier fell one after another.
Gradually, it formed a character.
Defeat!
"Enemy attack!" The Dragon Knights were instantly alert, this imperceptible hostile assault!
"Mind Control! It’s a Female Demon! It’s Long Yi!" Cain immediately understood, it was Long Yi who had appeared!
"Prepare for battle!"
"No need for preparation! I am here!"
Long Yi jumped out.
"What trick are you using this time?" Cain asked with a smile.
"Nothing." Long Yi said, "Just want you to think about it, if those people had committed suicide in front of you just now, what would your status be now?"
Cain frowned, indeed, if this were a war between two countries, the mental spells of a Female Demon would be near destructive against ordinary soldiers who don’t have any ability to resist.
"And then?"
"Then, I will hold the lives of all the soldiers here hostage, and invite you to a fair duel."
"You want to decide the victory of this battle with a duel?"
"No, I just want to duel with you. I am the Four Dragon Marks, if I am not mistaken, you are also Four Dragon Marks. If you win, not only will you eliminate the enemy’s strongest Dragon Knight, but you also end my unbeaten record, and most importantly, you save the lives of the soldiers in the entire camp."
"But what if I lose?"
"Your soldiers will lose a commander, and your Dragon Knights will watch the stationed soldiers fall one by one in front of them." Long Yi said.
"Sounds like I’m being forced to accept this condition," Cain commented.
"Actually, the condition is in your favor," Long Yi said.
"The premise being that I can win." Cain retorted.
"Right, as long as you can win. But can you?" Long Yi asked with a smirk.
"Kid, let me tell you, your luck is awful because just yesterday I leveled up!"
Boom! The aura of five Dragon Marks surged up, and Cain, along with his Dragon-slaying Sword, charged at Long Yi like an afterimage!
"Well done!" The Dragon Knights of Red Dragon Empire roared in approval. Five Dragon Marks represented a significant leap among the Dragon Knights. It meant that a dragon knight could finally cast Sword Aura!
The so-called Sword Aura was the spillover of a Dragon Knight’s Fighting Aura on the Dragon-slaying Sword, creating an incredibly sharp light!
Long Yi yelled and swung his crystal greatsword, only to hear a crisp clang, his sword had been chipped right in the middle!
"Nice one!" Long Yi shouted as the Crystal Greatsword instantly healed. He retaliated with a swift strike which Cain just avoided. Their swords collided, producing brilliant sparks.
Cain thought he could, if not beat him, at least put Long Yi in a state where he couldn’t fight back with just one swing of the sword. However, his immediate second strike was fully anticipated by Long Yi who managed to parry it just as powerfully!
But, it was far from over! How could it end? I have practiced the basic slash without any Fighting Aura for years! Not just any brute can block it!
Cain fully unleashed his skills, one strike after another, each quicker than the previous one.
Yet!
Long Yi managed to defend every single one of them!
"How is this possible!"
Cain could hardly believe his eyes! This kid named Long Yi had a perfectly proficient basic stance and somehow seemed to predict all his motions, blocking them with precision!
Clearly, the crystal greatsword in Long Yi’s hand contributed significantly. If Long Yi had held any different Dragon-slaying Sword, it would have been completely severed by the Sword Aura.
So then, let’s see how long your greatsword can withstand me!
Cain’s Dragon-slaying Sword almost entirely covered in Sword Aura shone brightly in the night!
Clang!
With one strike, half of the crystal greatsword was nearly cut off!
Clang!
Another strike!
The crystal greatsword was completely broken!
"Now, you’re finished!" Cain bellowed, slicing down his sword.
"Says who!"
With a swish, Long Yi drew Frostmourne, only to hear a ding - which was immediately broken.
"Damn it!"
Long Yi’s eyes widened instantly.
"This was... my favorite Frostmourne!"
"You can always make a new one! But now, you’ve lost!"
Without any hesitation, Cain lunged with his sword. Long Yi immediately held up the broken crystal greatsword and dashed forward. The Sword Aura hit the crystal, but couldn’t move the slightest inch forward.
"After you lose, you’re paying for my sword!" Long Yi tossed Frostmourne to the ground and charged forward with all his strength. Cain wanted to withdraw his sword and execute the next move, but didn’t expect Long Yi to press on relentlessly, leaving him no choice but to confront him directly.
With Long Yi charging faster and faster, the crystal greatsword was rapidly restored!
"Now, it’s my turn!"
In a flash, Long Yi’s crystal greatsword was dazzlng all over.
Sword Aura?
No! Definitely not!
Although the principle was similar, it was absolutely not Sword Aura!
Long Yi’s crystal greatsword had struck down!
Clang!
The two Dragon-slaying Swords collided with each other, and this time, neither Long Yi’s crystal sword nor Cain’s Dragon-slaying Sword suffered any damage!
Impossible!
Cain stared wide-eyed. The power of Sword Aura was absolute. Even if Long Yi’s Dragon-slaying Sword was made of Fine Gold, it would still be left with traces!
"Sword Aura! Incomplete version!" Long Yi burst into loud laughter. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on qidian.com. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
