"Alright, everyone remember this. From now until eight o'clock tomorrow night, this period is for everyone to gather information. The action will start after eleven o'clock, and all operations must conclude by one o'clock in the morning, regardless of success or failure. Everyone must gather in the courtyard by one o'clock; we have another mission to undertake."
"Understood," the six people replied in unison.
"Go prepare," the six people turned and left the room.
After a few of them had left, Liu Guanfeng also stepped out of the room. He needed to check on the situation at the General's residence. The General of Autumn City was named Jiao Sheng, an Advanced Knight. There were always two Advanced Knights by his side for protection, and most of the Guardians in his residence were Intermediate Knights. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng decided to take on the mission to assassinate the General himself.
The General's residence was not far from the Lord's residence, and its area was comparable to that of the Lord's residence. However, in terms of defense, the General's residence was far superior.
The Lord was an Official with limited personal strength, making him relatively easier to assassinate. The perception and abilities of an Advanced Knight were not something an Intermediate Knight could compare to.
Although Liu Guanfeng was not afraid of being surrounded by enemies, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. He couldn't let his own lack of fear affect the overall situation, so he meticulously cleared out all potential threats around the General's residence. That night, he quietly infiltrated the General's residence to observe Jiao Sheng's activities. Fortunately, his spiritual sense was strong enough to evade detection from Jiao Sheng and his two accompanying Advanced Knights.
Through careful observation, Liu Guanfeng noted that Jiao Sheng had a strong sense of vigilance; their spiritual sense swept through every half hour, which added some difficulty to the assassination. However, this posed little trouble for Liu Guanfeng. He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't sent Wang Ying and the others over; otherwise, they might have been discovered before even attempting the assassination.
After gathering all necessary information, Liu Guanfeng returned to his inn. After resting for a night, he settled his bill and prepared to leave that evening.
After wandering around the streets for a day, Liu Guanfeng returned to the assembly point where fifty-one Special Forces Members were already prepared in the courtyard.
"Have you all gathered your points?"
"Yes."
"Good. After dinner, go rest up and prepare for the assassination time. You don't need to report back to me when you leave."
Liu Guanfeng returned to his room to rest. Just as he entered, a voice echoed in his mind from In the Sea. Little Black had been sent out early in the morning with a mission to find those who had come to Autumn City. Having Little Black by his side also allowed for effective practice in communication.
"Xiaofeng, I have found people from the New World."
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother. Who is leading this army? How many people have arrived?"
"The person leading the team is someone you know, it's the Pei Langhai father and son. Originally, they brought along ten thousand people, but many more have come along the way, and now the number is around twenty-five thousand."
"Brother, how much longer until you reach Autumn City?"
"We should arrive around one in the morning. It's just getting dark now, and they're preparing to set out."
"Brother, just practice directly regarding any situation over there."
"Don't worry, you need to pay attention on your side as well."
The connection between one person and one beast was cut off. Liu Guanfeng nodded with satisfaction: it's great to have a divine beast by his side. No matter how far apart they are, they can still communicate. Although he has already reached the Ninth Tier, the communication distance between them is still short, unlike Little Black, which can maintain contact even from several kilometers or even over ten kilometers away.
Time passed slowly, and it was already the time Liu Guanfeng had set for everyone to carry out their assassination. Sitting in his room, he could hear footsteps in the courtyard; however, this was only something Liu Guanfeng's keen hearing could pick up—others likely couldn't hear a thing.
In less than ten minutes, the entire courtyard was empty. Assassination relies heavily on timing, so everyone wanted to quickly hide in ambush to find a better opportunity.
Although Liu Guanfeng's target today was just General Jiao Yang, the two Advanced Knights under him also had to be eliminated. Having two Advanced Knights in this city was too dangerous. If he wasn't in Autumn City, those two Advanced Knights could very well jeopardize the entire city. Moreover, the lord's guards were also two Advanced Knights. Therefore, Liu Guanfeng needed to deal with Jiao Yang and his two guards first before helping Wang Ying with the lord's two guards.
Easily avoiding all the Patrol Soldiers, Liu Guanfeng arrived at the back door of the general's residence. He crouched down against the wall and looked around to ensure no one was present before preparing to act when he suddenly heard a noise at the back door.
Quickly moving away from his position at the back door, Liu Guanfeng hid under an eave of a house across the street. Just as he concealed himself, he saw the back door of the general's residence open. A head peeked out first; after looking around cautiously, a person quietly stepped outside. This person waved their hand back inside, and then a middle-aged man emerged from within—Liu Guanfeng recognized him as one of his targets.
This man was one of Jiao Yang's two Advanced Knight guards and was a lower-tier Advanced Knight. The first person who came out bowed respectfully to this Advanced Knight and said, "Master Diao, there's no one here. You can go enjoy yourself without worry."
The Advanced Knight pulled out a few gold coins from his pocket and handed them to that person: "You're still the best; take this small amount for now. Please wait for me at the door; I'll be back shortly."
"I understand, Master Diao; just hurry up. I'm afraid if you take too long, my lord will come looking for you."
"Don't worry; I'll be quick about it. What is this? It wasn't such a hassle when I went out for fun before."
"Who says otherwise? It's all because of that new world causing trouble; otherwise, the general wouldn't have to make such demands."
"I know that too. Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Phoenix Jade is still waiting for me. Remember to wait for me here; I'll be back soon."
"Have fun, Master Diao." The servant-like person turned and walked back into the courtyard, closing the back door behind him. The Advanced Knight carefully left along the street.
Liu Guanfeng jumped down from the eaves and smiled as he watched the direction the Advanced Knight was heading, thinking: I'm coming to kill you all, and you still have the mood to enjoy yourself.
At the same time, Liu Guanfeng admired Jiao Yang for his foresight. As soon as Winter City fell, he proactively instructed his subordinates not to leave the residence recklessly, showing that he was quite capable. Thus, Liu Guanfeng developed a sense of admiration for him. However, after a moment's thought, Liu Guanfeng abandoned that idea because time was tight; if he couldn't persuade Jiao Yang to surrender today, the entire plan would fail. Although he wasn't afraid, there were still fifty brothers with him; he couldn't risk their lives.
Liu Guanfeng used his spiritual sense to scan the area and found that the servant had not gone far. He carefully climbed over the wall, using a rockery for cover so that he was hidden from view while clearly knowing the servant's location through his spiritual sense.
Liu Guanfeng lightly jumped down from the courtyard wall and arrived at the other side of the rockery. He saw that the earlier servant was intently counting the few gold coins he had just received, a happy smile on his face. That smile quickly froze when a sword tip emerged from his throat.
Liu Guanfeng withdrew his sword, and the servant's corpse fell to the ground. After wiping the blood off his sword, Liu Guanfeng headed straight for Jiao Yang's small courtyard.
Soon, Liu Guanfeng arrived outside the campus. At the entrance of the small courtyard, there was a small room that resembled a communication room typical of every unit nowadays. Liu Guanfeng knew that another Advanced Knight resided there. This was Jiao Yang's habit; both of his Advanced Knights took turns keeping watch outside his courtyard at night.
What Liu Guanfeng needed to do now was kill this person and then go in to kill Jiao Yang, finally waiting for the Advanced Knight who had gone out to have fun.
Liu Guanfeng swiftly jumped onto the roof of this small building and found an eave to hang his feet over while keeping his entire body suspended beneath it. Once he secured himself, Liu Guanfeng tossed a small stone downward; directly below him was the door.
The small stone bounced once before hitting the door. The Advanced Knight resting inside heard the noise and opened the door, holding a Great Axe in hand. "Who? Who's there?"
Standing at the door, the Advanced Knight looked around cautiously. After observing for a while without noticing anything unusual, he took a couple of steps toward Jiao Yang's small courtyard but saw nothing out of place. He then turned around and returned to his post.
Just as he stood on the threshold with one foot in and one foot out, Liu Guanfeng began to act. He moved from his position on the eaves and swung down like a pendulum towards the Advanced Knight.
The Advanced Knight heard a rush of wind behind him and turned around suddenly while still standing on the threshold. The door frame was narrow, leaving him no chance to dodge or even shout for help.
As soon as he saw Liu Guanfeng's figure, he instinctively opened his mouth to scream, but Liu Guanfeng's sword pierced through just as he began to yell.
Using inertia, Liu Guanfeng pushed forward with his body, causing the Advanced Knight's corpse to fall into the room. Liu Guanfeng flipped into the room as well, dealt with the body quickly, then turned and left while shutting the door behind him.
Liu Guanfeng easily arrived at the courtyard, and Jiao Yang was very secretive about his own affairs. Therefore, aside from his courtyard, other areas of the general's residence were guarded by Sentinels, so Liu Guanfeng did not need to be overly cautious when entering the courtyard.
At this moment, sounds of playful banter came from a small house in the courtyard:
"General, you are really bad."
"General, who do you want to accompany you tonight?"
"You’re not always thinking about Sister, are you?"
"I won’t agree, General. You haven’t asked me to accompany you for several days. You have to let me accompany you tonight."
"Alright, tonight I’ll let you accompany me. Come here and let me clean you up first."
Hearing this voice, Liu Guanfeng understood what was happening inside and cursed inwardly: "Even at a time like this, they still have the mood for a romantic bath?"
At this moment, several bedroom doors were left open. Liu Guanfeng already knew where Jiao Yang's bedroom was when he arrived, so he swiftly moved into Jiao Yang's bedroom. The entire room was resplendent; although it couldn't compare to a palace, the furnishings were definitely not ordinary.
Seeing this decor, Liu Guanfeng completely abandoned the idea of persuading Jiao Yang to submit. After observing the situation in the room, he crouched down and slipped under the bed.
Liu Guanfeng knew that there would definitely be an earth-shattering battle on this bed soon, and he didn’t want to spy on it; he had no such hobby.
Lying flat under the bed, Liu Guanfeng took out a spring sword designed by Xuanwu from his Cosmic Bag. This sword usually only had a hilt, with the blade concealed within it. By pressing a hidden button on the hilt, the blade would spring out.
