King Ember's Journey to Tevat

Chapter 413 Sneak Attack

Late at night, Feimu Village fell into silence.

Although the light of the golden tree is eternal, it cannot illuminate every part of Feimu Village.

Not to mention that the golden tree ran from the center of the village to the entrance of the village at dusk today. This made the already poor lighting conditions in Feimu Village even worse.

Due to lack of fuel, the villagers stopped their activities soon after the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the sky and the earth.

Except for the newly moved golden tree at the entrance of the village that was still emitting golden light, only the sentry tower built outside the village still had some firelight.

And these are also the few places in Feimu Village equipped with high beams.

The high-beam lamp bought from the pirates emitted bright light, forming several intertwined beams of light in the darkness, which was extremely eye-catching.

"How's it going? Did you find out?" On the hillside outside Feimu Village, dense shadows were crawling on the ground, seeming to blend into the darkness.

A figure quickly came from a distance and merged silently with the shadow.

"The kid who escaped should be here."

The shadow squirmed, and the figure who had just come over came to the front of the leader and responded.

"Is this so..."

Nojima Kazunari closed his eyes slightly. As long as that guy died quietly, no one in the world would know that the seal of the evil spirit was destroyed by them.

But I didn't expect that the guy ran away so fast, throwing a group of them far away in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, they are a small team of like-minded companions in the resistance.

There are sergeants from various divisions, and naturally many of them are good at tracking.

Although the escaping shogunate soldier ran fast, he was seriously injured. He neither treated his wounds nor concealed his steps.

He was so negligent that not even the endless rain on Ba Ling Island could save his name.

Nojima Kazunari moved his body, looked down at Feimu Village in the distance, which was surrounded by sentry towers, and asked in a deep voice:

"How is the protection of this village?"

"Protection? It's very rudimentary. At most it can only protect against mountain bandits. Not to mention us, not even the shogunate army can protect them."

The shadow spoke again and told the information obtained from his investigation.

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and said with some hesitation in his tone: "Captain Nojima, you don't want to..."

"That's right, there's no one around, you know that too, don't you?" Nojima showed a fierce look on his face, a hint of madness on his face shrouded in darkness.

"No! This village is not a small village! With us, it is impossible to leave no one behind. Someone will definitely escape!"

The shadow trembled for a few moments, and then spoke in fluent words.

"Are you hesitating? Anayama Nobuyoshi!" Nojima's voice was a little louder.

"No, I didn't." Nobuyoshi Anayama lowered his head.

"I just mentioned the shortcomings of the plan." Nobuyoshi Anayama said again as if to defend himself.

"Haha, don't doubt the abilities of your squad mates." Nojima Kazunari turned around and looked at the dozens of shadows lying behind him. These are all fellow squad members who cherish the ideal of "reviving the dignity of the Great God".

It is because of them that the plan to destroy the evil spirit can be carried out. Although there is also a lot of information about the coward named "Nathan".

"What's more..., we still have this!" Nojima Kazunari revealed a glass bead on his waist.

It was a glass bead that looked like an eye, but the color was much darker.

The Evil Eye was originally a piece of equipment equipped by the elites of the Fools, but now it appeared in the hands of the resistance.

"Evil Eye, if you use it again, Captain Nojima..."

"Cough cough cough!" Before Nobuyoshi Anayama finished speaking, he heard Nojima Kazunari coughing violently.

After several tremblings, Nojima Kazunari spread his palms. Even though it was in the dark at the moment, Nobuyoshi Anayama could vaguely see the bright red on his palms.

"I don't have much time left. Before I die, I can experience the joy of being able to control the elements as if they were the owners of the God's Eye. It would not be considered a wasted life." Nojima Kazunari took the blood from his palm. After pinching it, his eyes were not filled with the sadness of a dying person, but instead were filled with eagerness to try.

"Remember, die for the Great God!"

Nojima Kazunari raised his arms and shouted.

"Death for the Great God!!!"

Seeing this, the shadows behind Nojima Kazunari also waved their arms. When they looked at Feimi Village again, they were no different from looking at the roadblocks.

……

"Ha..., Mori Masaru, what on earth is that big tree in the village? It started running today. Is it still a tree?"

Okubo looked at the golden tree not far in front of the sentry tower, yawned and asked his partner Mori Masa Kenji.

The front of the sentry tower was still empty yesterday, but today there was a big tree, and this tree came here on its own.

When Okubo saw this scene, his eyes were almost shocked.

"Shh..., don't talk!" Mori Masa Kenji's ears moved and he hissed to his sturdy partner.

Then he walked towards the fence of the sentry tower, lowered his head and carefully explored the place below.

Mori Masaru Kenji rubbed his eyes, his pupils quickly dilated, and Okubo beside him could even see his slightly glowing eyes.

"Did someone come out to use the toilet?" Okubo saw Morimasa Kenji looking so alert and couldn't help but comfort him.

They explored the area around Feimu Village and found that there were almost no people around.

Apart from villagers who have urgent matters, who would wander around the village at night?

"I hope it's too much to worry about, but let's cheer up. I can only hear voices but can't see people, which is a bit strange."

Mori Masa Kenji looked around and could only hear sounds, but did not find any figures, which made him a little unsure.

Maybe he was hallucinating again? Or maybe the person coming out happened to be in the blind spot of his sight?

After all, Mori Masa Kenji's body has also undergone some changes like other villagers, the most obvious one is his powerful hearing that has affected his daily life.

Sometimes in the dead of night, there would be faint sounds in his ears, making him unable to tell whether it was tinnitus or something happening late at night.

To this extent, his hearing was actually weakened. However, Mori Masaru Kenji didn't have too many worries. The price required to get rid of evil spirits should be more or less.

If he could be cured of the legendary evil spirit that could kill people without paying anything and was more terrifying than the great plague, he would actually have doubts.

Below the sentry tower, in the blind spot of the two men's sight, several resistance soldiers dressed as pirates were lying steadily in the shadow of the ground, not even taking a few breaths.

The firelight on the sentry tower in the corner of his eye stopped shaking, and the rebels below began to communicate.

[Who made a bad move just now! Do you want to have a taste of military law? 】

One of the leading team leaders changed his gestures rapidly and asked the team members behind him.

The defense of this village is only at the level of an ordinary village. The setting of guard towers, the concealment of traps...etc., were full of loopholes in the eyes of these elite rebels.

But for such a simple sneak assassination mission, he was almost discovered by the villagers on this simple sentry tower.

How can this not make the rebel squad leader angry?

If he hadn't been on a mission now, he would have found out the stupid guy behind him and dealt with him on the spot as a warning to others.

Seeing that the prostrate figure behind him didn't make any movement, the captain's anger gradually weakened.

The top priority now is to blind the "eyes" of this village, and everything else must be done later.

【Prepare! 】

The squad leader's prostrate posture changed to a half-crouch, and his palms were slightly raised, making him stand out among the low figures.

【Go to the tower! 】

With a change of gesture, the half-crouching team leader climbed up the guard tower quickly and quietly like a dexterous cheetah.
