Arknights is too real, right?

Chapter 1074 Assassination

Dongzhou, Eastern Mountains.

After the Victoria Army launched a general offensive, the "ghost troops" from Kjerag finally saved the day, and the Sakura Takeshi army that had been encircling them for several days retreated.

The snow in the mountains has not melted, the noise has faded away, and there is only tranquility in the air.

In front of the tent, looking at the gloomy black clouds on the horizon, his silver-gray eyes were so profound that it was impossible to understand.

"master."

After experiencing this thrilling and long guerrilla war, Kakufeng also lost weight.

Arriving in front of Yin Hui, he asked for the final instructions.

"Sir, all the enemy troops on the periphery have withdrawn, and Black Steel's helicopters have rushed to the main battlefield."

"kindness."

"According to the last intelligence from Penguin Logistics, Victoria's Central Army is launching a full-scale attack on Dongzhou. We are safe."

"I see."

Seeing Yin Hui's confused attitude, Jiao Feng continued to ask.

"Master, what are we going to do next? Collect some supplies along the way and cooperate with Victoria's army inside and outside?"

"No."

Yin Hui raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

"Follow the road back to Xichuan, and then we will return to Kjerag."

Jiao Feng was stunned.

"Go back to Kjerag? But the war is not over yet."

"No, it's over."

Silver Gray's deep voice revealed a complex meaning.

"The war was over from the moment the Victoria Army entered Dongzhou."

Withdrawing his gaze, Yin Hui tightened his black coat tightly.

"Next, the Victoria Army will successfully capture Dongzhou. Our mission has been completed. As for Xia Feng, this time his mission can only be solved by himself."

The military intervention of the world power Victoria in the name of crusade dealt a devastating blow to the Togoku Sakurabu family.

In more than half a month, under the high-intensity advancement of the army, the entire East Continent has been transformed into a hell filled with smoke.

Xia Feng had already expected this result, and in a sense, the current scene was all thanks to him.

However, when he really heard the cold and cruel battle reports one after another, he still felt complicated under his seemingly calm appearance.

Of course, he has no regrets. If he had not interfered out of selfish motives, these cruel things would have happened on the land of Xichuan.

This was inevitable, and at the same time he didn't want to excuse himself.

If this inevitable dispute must find an eternal sinner, no problem, he is willing to bear this crime.

He doesn't care about other people's definitions, and there's nothing great about what he does.

He is just an ordinary person who only protects the people he wants to protect. Is it really wrong?

In his heart, what was really wrong was not how to choose, but not to choose.

Xichuan, Xiye Mansion.

In the past half month since the war began, the Nishimiya family's residence as the rear area was not absolutely safe as predicted.

"boom!"

The door was pushed open, and Hong Dao's body exuded heavy Origin Stone fluctuations, and he walked in covered in blood.

"Xia Feng, a total of 32 people were killed."

Xia Feng held the Shenyue Sword in his mouth and said a vague "Yes" while wrapping a bandage on his wrist.

At this time, the courtyard outside was a bloody scene.

The 32 assassins lying in a pool of blood were shocking. At the same time, in every corner of the entire mansion, at least more than 200 guarding warriors died miserably.

Some people had their necks wiped with daggers, some were blown to pieces by explosives, and some were poisoned and turned purple all over, spitting out black blood.

Soon, noisy footsteps were heard, and a large number of warriors poured into the courtyard again.

These people skillfully began to clean up the corpses, and then, holding samurai swords and looking as if they were dead, the samurai took over the deceased's post again.

This is already the fourth assassination that the Nishimiya family has experienced since the outbreak of the Dongzhou War.

The first time there were 2 assassins, the second time there were 8 assassins, the third time there were 12 assassins, and this time, the number of assassins had increased to 32.

These 32 assassins are all proficient in assassination and are masters among masters. However, the number of assassins dispatched can no longer be called assassinations. This is simply a suicide attack.

Obviously, the Sakurawu family is already anxious.

The more violent the assassination, the more difficult the Sakurawu family's situation is. The successive defeats on the main battlefield have completely panicked Sakurawu Shanxiong.

Inside the house, after Xia Feng simply tied up the wounds on his hands, the assassination was over. The assassins were all killed by the red knife who came in later.

Putting the Shenyue Sword back into its sheath at his waist, Xia Feng exhaled heavily.

"It's okay, everyone come out."

The wooden board on the ground was opened, and Guigui was the first to crawl out in a daze, followed by Qiancai, Nishinomiya Ling, and some female members of the Nishinomiya family also climbed out one after another.

In response to the unscrupulous assassination, people who were easy targets hid in the basement at Xia Feng's request.

Although it looks timid and embarrassing, I have to say that the effect is amazing.

After climbing out, Qiancai leaned toward Xia Feng with some worry.

"Brother Xia Feng, you are injured!"

Xia Feng waved his newly bandaged hand.

"It's okay, it was just scratched by the dagger, and it's no longer bleeding."

Qiancai leaned down.

"You tied it too loosely like this. Let me help you put some medicine on it and then tie it again."

"Yeah, that's fine too."

There was no worry at all on Turtle's face, but he was mumbling very optimistically.

“It’s fun to hide in the basement with so many people, but it’s a bit boring if you stay there for a long time.”

On the contrary, as the head of the family, Xi Gong Ling's face turned red. Of course, he was not bored, but ashamed.

With a very embarrassed appearance, Nishimiya Ling said righteously.

"Your Excellency Xia Feng, this is the last time I hide in the basement. The warriors of the Nishimiya family are brave and good at fighting. As the head of the family, there is no reason for me to escape in embarrassment."

Xia Feng looked at him like an idiot.

"Have a rest. You have to live to be cool. The other party used extraordinary means to assassinate you. We will use extraordinary means to deal with it. There is no shame in it."

"But."

"It's nothing to worry about. I estimate that today's assassination is the last wave. According to the frontline battle report, the vanguard of the Central Army has been forced to a position less than 200 kilometers away from Dongzhou Prefecture. If this battle is won, the Yingwu Family will basically be gone. Let’s stop eating.”

It has to be said that the assassins trained by the Sakurawu family do have two skills, and their assassination methods are extremely tricky.

People like Nishigong Ling who hold their necks high and say, "As the head of the family, how can I hide in embarrassment?" It seems that the life before was too comfortable, or he was praised too highly by the servants, and he didn't eat at all. Big loss.

Although the samurai guarding the Nishinomiya family's main house are equally powerful, they still lack experience in dealing with such crazy assassinations.

If he hadn't pushed Nishimiya Ling into the basement by pressing his head in the early stage, this guy would have been cold.

the next day.

The latest intelligence came from the front line.

According to intelligence, according to rough statistics, the number of people killed in the Sakurabuki family army in this battle has exceeded 150,000.

The Central Army advancing from the plains to the east was unstoppable and had captured a large city closest to Dongzhou Prefecture overnight.

The other two teams advancing eastward from the coast and mountains have basically reached the central location.

According to this trend, as long as the three armies encircle each other from the west, north, and south, the Sakurawu family, which is struggling to support itself, will have only two options left.

First, give up resistance, fully surrender, and unconditionally accept any disposal by the Victoria military.

Second, abandon Dongzhou Prefecture, retreat to the eastern mountains before the encirclement is formed, and continue to survive.

However, if the Sakurawu family makes the second choice, their situation will become the same as that of half a month ago, retreating to the mountains and forests, losing supplies, and being isolated and helpless.

For the former overlord of one party, this slow death may be more uncomfortable than death directly.

Of course, the Sakurawu family has a third option.

That means neither surrendering nor running away, even if we use up every last soldier, we must fight to the end for the final words of honor.

To be honest, the only person who can make such an extreme choice from the bottom of his heart is the head of the family, Sakura Takeyama.

As for the generals and ordinary soldiers under their command, there is a high probability that they have lost their will to fight when their family has no hope of making a comeback. The only thing that is still supporting them to continue fighting at this moment is the deep-rooted samurai spirit.

If the head of the family is like a demon and still orders a fight to the end even though he knows that the entire army will be annihilated, there is a high probability that these generals will obey him with a stomp.

But if it really turns out to be like that, it will be the worst outcome for both parties.

Therefore, in order to resolve the worst outcome, the Central Army needs to complete a "murderous and heart-breaking" mission.

This mission is the same as the mission that Xia Feng completed at the end of the Dark Ages when the infected army and the last army of the empire were in a deadlock in the north.

That is, destroy the enemy's brain that gives orders.

When the enemy soldiers knew that there was no hope of a comeback, they were completely unable to receive the highest-level orders from the family leader.
