Rise of the Empire Total War

In the Winster Camp outside Timothy Castle, even though it was night, the inside of the camp was still brightly lit. A large number of fires illuminated the camp as bright as daytime. Compared with the darkness outside the camp, the contrast was really great.

Walking in such a bright camp, the soldiers of the first patrol team relaxed a lot. What they fear most is patrolling in the dark. Leaving aside the fear of darkness in the bones of animals, what they have heard since childhood is that there will be The story of the beast dragging a man away in the dark is enough to give them goosebumps at the darkness around them.

The camp is surrounded by a two-meter-high wooden wall, which can accommodate two people walking at the same time. Therefore, the patrol team must not only train in the camp, but also walk on the wooden wall. The deep ditch as high as a person is filled with dense spikes, so they don't worry about night raiders.

They have not been attacked by the enemy, and the soldiers in the camp somewhat lost some of the necessary vigilance, as did the patrols patrolling the wooden walls and the soldiers standing guard. They couldn't bear to look at the extremely dark outside world. I just yawned. Although I didn't think there would be a night attack, due to military discipline, they didn't dare to openly sleep during guard time. Just like the gendarmerie, if they dared to sleep while standing guard, they would definitely To be hung up and whipped.

"When will it be the next shift?"

A sentry standing on the tower on the side of the gate complained in a low voice. He turned around and glanced at the brightly lit camp, and sighed inwardly. Just as he turned his head, he saw a black figure getting closer in front of him. Before he could react, , the black shadow directly passed through his widened left eye, smashed his brain, and then pierced out from the back of his head. The distracted sentinel couldn't even scream, so he fell straight backwards. His dereliction of duty paid the price.

The moment he fell, there was a slight sound of heavy objects falling to the ground from the opposite tower. Then, several figures jumped over the gate like monkeys and jumped to the inside of the gate. They looked around to confirm that no one was there. After discovering it, they spread out and ran towards the camp. However, at this moment, a patrol team came towards them. Both sides spotted each other immediately. The dagger in his hand pierced deeply into the chest of the captain, who fell to the ground.

After someone fell down, the soldiers realized that they quickly raised their loaded muskets and pointed them at the figure who turned around and fled, and pulled the triggers at the same time. The figure was unable to dodge, was shot twice in the back and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood , He still wanted to struggle, but was stepped on by the soldiers chasing up from behind, and stabbed to death one by one with a bayonet.

The sudden gunshots were like a warning signal. After the gunshots, the soldiers in each tent were awakened from sleep. Their eyes were red (they will be bloodshot after waking up, so they look like red eyes). While muttering something, he got up from the bed, hurriedly put on his military uniform, picked up the musket beside the bed and rushed out.

Richard in the main tent was also awakened at the first moment. He just got up when he saw his adjutant barge in through the curtain. He didn't need to ask, but he replied directly: "Sir, we have been attacked, and the number is unknown." The men in black sneaked into the camp and were just discovered by the patrol team, and now the search has begun."

"How about the casualties?" Richard asked in a deep voice.

"Two sentries and a patrol captain died."

"Contain their corpses and intensify the search. We must find out the man in black who sneaked in." Richard said with a headache while pinching his temple with one hand. He could see the slackness of the soldiers. It's just that I haven't found the right time to say that the current night attack can just hit them and make them more vigilant.

Outside, dozens of men in black who sneaked in were chased and intercepted by Winster's army. Their black clothes, which could almost blend into the darkness, were particularly dazzling in the brightly lit camp. No matter where they went, They could all be spotted by the Winsters holding muskets, which made them secretly complain, but there was nothing they could do, they could only run forward desperately.

"Don't run! Stop!"

"Stop it now!"

Hearing the yelling of the soldiers behind, several running men in black cried out incessantly, but when they were even more desperate, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared in the direction in front of them. They stood in place and pointed their guns at The men in black who were running saw the flames explode before the latter wanted to surrender, and the men in black were shot and fell to the ground immediately.

In just over ten minutes, all the men in black in the camp were shot and killed, leaving only one man who was shot in the leg and could not escape and was arrested. In order to prevent him from playing tricks, the whole person was tied up like a dirt The dog was thrown in front of Richard.

Looking at the ashen-faced prisoner, Richard sneered, squatted in front of him, and asked aloud, "Where did you come from?"

"..."

"What is your purpose?"

"..."

"Are you from the Kingdom of Obonia?"

"..."

Still no answer.

Seeing the prisoner who gritted his teeth and refused to say a word, Richard frowned, sneered again, stood up, and said casually: "Don't say yes, that's fine."

"Break one of his legs." He said in a cold tone.

"As ordered."

A few soldiers agreed, took a step forward, raised the butt of their guns and smashed it down on one of his legs. The prisoner only heard a slight cracking sound from the leg bone, and the piercing pain soon spread to his whole body, and he was sweating profusely. Big drops fell down.

"I'll ask you again, where did you come from." Richard asked coldly, there was no emotion in his eyes, as if looking at a dead dog.

"..."

"Heh~" Seeing that the prisoner still refused to cooperate, Richard chuckled, and let out a voice that sounded like a devil in the prisoner's ear: "Break one more."

Without the slightest hesitation, several soldiers raised their guns again and smashed one of his legs, and two of his legs were broken. The prisoner's face was pale, and he looked like he was about to fall, as if he would be unconscious in a second.

"You still have two hands left, you still have two chances, let me ask you again, where are you from?"

"I... I... I was sent by General Argo Walker."

Richard frowned slightly. Although he didn't say where he was from, he obediently told the instigator. He continued to ask, "What is your purpose?"

"It's... it's setting fire to your camp..."

The prisoner spoke intermittently, and it could be seen from his face that it was almost as white as paper, that he was suffering from inhuman pain at this time.

"Heh~" Richard sneered, fire attack, good strategy, if they didn't happen to be hit by a patrol, then wouldn't they have succeeded? He was terrified at the thought that the flames might ignite the large amount of gunpowder stored in the camp and cause a violent explosion.

"Where is your army? How many are there?"

"In...in..." Before the prisoner could finish his sentence, he suddenly lost his support, and his whole body went limp, no matter how hard the soldiers beside him were struggling.
