Standalone Northern and Southern Dynasties

Chapter 51: Entrusted Automatic Operations (Update )
In the night, the lights in the niche on top of the Longhua Temple Pagoda are the best guide.

Su Ze crawled out of Jianyangli through the dog hole discovered by Su Dao, put everyone's weapons and leather armor into the system warehouse, and arrived at Longhua Temple to meet Su Bai.

Su Bai came out from the shadow of an old cypress tree in Longhua Temple, crossed his arms and said to Su Ze: "Master, those monsters are all in the temple and have fallen asleep now."

Su Ze nodded. Actually, Su Ze could have directly commanded the battle here, but he still wanted to try the system's [Delegated Automatic Battle] function.

Su Ze took out everyone's weapons and armor from the system warehouse, and then gave the [Exquisite Small Bow] purchased by the system to the [Blood-Fainting Archer], replaced his Yulin standard longbow, and asked him to climb up the old cypress tree and aim at the exit of the monk's house.

Su Ze took out the family heirloom longbow and hid on a rockery not far away.

After arranging everyone to the designated positions, Su Ze confirmed the map again and clicked the button to execute the "Auto-Battle Commission".

"Set the goal to [annihilate all the Mahayana demons in Longhua Temple]."

As Su Ze pressed the button, the [Reckless Shield Axeman] stationed at the door of the monastery raised his square shield, used an axe to split the door open and rushed in.

[The Yulin Knight who is good at archery] Su Lin was not riding a horse, but he followed closely with a bow and arrow. He shot and killed with one arrow the backbone of the Mahayana sect who rushed out of the room after hearing the noise.

Just after hearing the sound of the shield-axeman breaking down the door, Su Bai, the [inconspicuous Egret Cao messenger] who was lurking on the roof of the monk's house of the Mahayana leader Huihui, lifted the tiles on the roof and jumped into Huihui's room with a dagger in hand.

These Mahayana backbones are not specialized fighters themselves. Su Ze's orange, purple and blue followers are considered the elite among the elite in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After [Reckless Shield Axeman] rushed into the monastery and killed everyone, the other backbones picked up weapons but were unable to cause any damage to the [Reckless Shield Axeman] who was wearing armor and holding a shield. Some backbones with weak beliefs had already begun to flee.

The [ordinary Yulin Army] that Su Ze had arranged at the back door of the monastery, upon seeing the backbone members of the Mahayana sect rushing out of the monastery, rushed up with swords in hand and chopped down a fleeing backbone member with one sword.

Several other key members heard the shouting and screaming behind them, and rushed out of the back door of the monastery. The [ordinary Yulin Army] stopped one of them, but the other one escaped.

Just as Su Ze was about to draw his bow and prepare to shoot, an arrow flew from a large cypress tree and hit the fleeing backbone member right in the back.

It turned out that it was the [Blood-frightened Archer] who took the initiative to attack. As expected of a Sound Archer, the [Blood-frightened Archer] hiding on a cypress tree could accurately kill the enemy with only the faint light of a torch. In the darkness of night, the negative effect of his "Blood-frightened" term was blocked, and he shot several arrows in a row at the fleeing Mahayana backbones.

Su Ze also drew his longbow and aimed at a Mahayana sect backbone who was fleeing in panic. As the sound of arrows rang out, the backbone who was shot fell to the ground instantly.

After putting away the longbow, Su Ze did not feel the discomfort he had imagined. Perhaps it was because he had used a bow and arrow to kill people in the dark, or maybe it was because he lived in a turbulent time and his moral concepts had long since declined.

Su Ze did not have time to think about it. The noise caused by [Reckless Shield Axeman] was so loud that it had aroused the vigilance of Longhua Temple. The bells in the palace kept ringing, and fire was lit in the warehouse yard separated by a wall.

Longhua Temple is a temple dedicated to the Yulin Huben, and there are monk soldiers in the temple. The warehouse yard is an important place for the court to store taxes, and it is also guarded by Cao soldiers.

Su Ze continued to concentrate and shot the backbone members of the Mahayana sect who were fleeing from the front and back courtyards. At that moment, a head was thrown out from the room of the leader Hui Hui. In the light of the fire, the Mahayana sect believers saw the bloody head of their leader, and the will to resist in their hearts finally collapsed.

Killing people cannot make one become a Buddha, and the so-called blessing of the future Buddha cannot make one invulnerable to swords and guns. When this bit of courage disappeared, the core members who were still fighting with Su Ze's followers began to flee.

When they started to flee, the [Reckless Shield Axemen] who rushed into the courtyard were unstoppable and began a frenzied attack. Yulin Knight Sulin was completely out of cover, and at this point he didn't need any cover. He shot and killed several key members who wanted to escape with his bow and arrows.

Just as the monks from Longhua Temple arrived with sticks, the battle was already over.

In the darkness of night, a big "dog" jumped out of the monastery, scaring the monk soldiers so much that they clenched their long sticks.

When they walked into the monastery, they were also frightened by the bloody scene.

Huihui, a monk who was staying at Longhua Temple, had his head cut off, and ten other monks who were staying with Huihui were also killed.

However, in their monasteries, Longhua Temple discovered a lot of weapons, and finally found a book called "The Secret Meaning of the Mahayana Teachings".

Mahayana Buddhism was a cult that was explicitly banned and suppressed by the Northern Wei court, and Longhua Temple certainly knew this.

The evil Mahayana sect members had been staying at Longhua Temple, and now they have been completely destroyed. This matter has exceeded the scope of what Longhua Temple can handle, so the temple supervisor immediately reported it to the governor of Henan.

At daybreak, Henan Yin's prosecutors and city inspectors finally entered the Longhua Temple, but Su Ze had already led everyone back home.

He introduced the newly recruited followers to Su Yuyao. Fortunately, the house left by his father was big enough, so they could squeeze into one room if necessary. He told Su Yuyao to stay at home safely for the next few days. Su Ze yawned and walked towards the palace gate where he was on duty.

Thinking about the raid on Longhua Temple last night, the system's [Auto-Commissioned Operation] has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that as long as it is arranged properly, automatic combat can also achieve good results. You don’t need to do everything yourself. You can remotely control your followers to perform combat missions.

The disadvantage is that the battle is rigid and completely dependent on the followers' own performance, and the followers' own disadvantages will also be exposed.

The only two twists and turns last night were that at the end of the battle, the [Reckless Shield Axeman] was so bloodthirsty that he was beaten up badly by Su Lin before he retreated.

Second, when the [Blood-Frightened Archer] was retreating, he was splashed with blood from the [Reckless Shield Axeman]. He thought he was injured and bleeding and almost fainted.

It can be seen from this that attributes with negative effects will indeed reduce the quality of followers and bring unnecessary variables to the battle.

As for those orange followers without negative attributes, both Su Bai and Su Lin performed perfectly.

If we destroy the Mahayana sect's hideout in Luoyang, Wang Hui should not continue with the assassination plan, right?
Time passed quickly during the daily guard duty. Su Ze won the hearts of the grassroots Han Yulin and asked his sister Su Yuyao to build good relationships with the neighbors. Every now and then, he would send some food and cloth to Uncle Fan, the neighborhood chief.

The case of Longhua Temple made the entry and exit checks in Jianyangli much stricter. Relying on his relationship with the old wardens, Su Ze quickly obtained a pass for the new follower.

Su Ze also asked his sister Su Yuyao to buy medicinal materials and let the "blind pharmacist" treat the neighbors and colleagues in the army at home, which also won a lot of praise.

Seeing that the silk and satin in the storeroom at home were getting less and less, four days later, March 1st finally arrived, which happened to be the first month of the lunar year, and was a good time to sell the stolen goods.
