Chapter 7776 The Mastermind Behind The Scenes
After the leader of the men of sacrifice confirmed that all his men were dead, his head tilted to the side and he fell to the ground, dead!
Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
Although he knew that the other party was a death warrior, he didn't expect him to commit suicide so easily!
Logically speaking, the other party should have put up a last-ditch struggle.
Since he was going to die anyway, wasn't it better to drag a few people down with him?
"These men of sacrifice would rather die than be captured ... It seems like the person behind this is not simple!"
Sima Yun frowned and looked at su lingyue.""Their target ..."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore!"
Su lingyue quickly interrupted Sima Yunqi,""Since they're all dead, there's no need for us to guess blindly! Zhong da, you've really made your mother see you in a new light! It's actually so powerful!"
Lin Yi didn't make a move, or rather, su lingyue couldn't tell if he did, but his ability to command the battle was undeniably strong!
These men of sacrifice in black were much stronger than Sima You Yun's men of sacrifice.
But under Lin Yi's command, he killed half of them and forced them to commit suicide!
"Mother, you flatter me. It's just some minor battle formations. It's not worth mentioning!"
Lin Yi smiled humbly,"there were no survivors this time. Even if there's a follow-up assassination, it'll probably have to wait until tomorrow!" I should be able to sleep well tonight!"
"None of these people escaped, and no one will be waiting at their stronghold. They'll probably guess what happened! We can't relax on Monday. We still have to be on high alert!"
Sima Yunqi would not be careless. If another wave of assassins came tonight, their strength would only be stronger!
Although the possibility of this was very low, if there really was such an expert, they should come together this time!
Zhou Yi bowed and immediately ordered everyone to return to their positions.
"Also, for the brothers who died or were injured tonight, you must compensate them well. As for the money and food, excluding the garrison, I will personally give three extra portions to each of you! The rest of the brothers have also worked hard today, so all of you will be rewarded!"
Zhou Yi was extremely grateful and immediately thanked Ma Weiqi on behalf of the dead and injured!
Soldiers like them lived a life of licking blood from the edge of the blade. They lived in constant danger and could die at any time.
Therefore, it was more important than anything to have a generous pension for the family after death.
Lin Yi nodded-Sima Yun's intentions made him a qualified commander.
If this person's martial arts and culture weren't weak, he could be called a famous general.
Hongshang Commandery was not a stable country. There would be friction with neighboring countries and there would be military conflicts. As the legitimate son of the family who controlled Hongshang Commandery, Sima Yunqi had the responsibility of leading the Army.
Lin Yi thought, and Si MA thought the same.
Lin Yi's ability to command a battle formation was something he was ashamed of. He had already decided that this son of his would become a commander whose name would shake the world!
On the other hand, just as si Ma Yun had expected, the men of sacrifice in black had been completely annihilated. The people who had been waiting for the news quickly confirmed this fact and immediately sent the news back to the person behind it.
Early in the morning, in the imperial capital of Hongshang Commandery, Sima Yunqi's eldest brother, Sima mafei's residence!
A beautiful woman in luxurious clothes was dressing up in front of the mirror.
One of her trusted maidservants came to her side with small and hurried steps. She quickly saluted and then lowered her voice to report.
"Madam, I've received news! Both assassinations have failed!"
The beautiful woman was currently choosing a hairpin and had just picked up a white jade hairpin. When she heard these words, her hand tightened and the White jade hairpin let out a slight crisp sound. It directly broke between her fingers that were comparable to white jade.
"What's going on? With such a formation, why did they fail?"
The beautiful woman's eyes narrowed slightly, her expression cold.
The maidservant who was dressing her up subconsciously slowed down the speed of her hands, afraid that she would make the beautiful woman unhappy.
"I haven't gotten the details of the battle yet, but I have a rough understanding of the situation!"
The reporting maidservant lowered her head and continued to speak in a low voice,""The second branch's couple's strength was within our expectations. There were no accidents. The one who was surprised was Sima Zhongda. We don't know how strong he is, but he seems to be a tactical genius!"
"In the two ambushes, Sima Zhongda seemed to have been in the middle of the command. In the second one, our people were watching from a distance. Although we couldn't see clearly, the other side should have used some unknown battle formation,"
"Of all of them, only Sima Zhongda did not make a move. If I'm not wrong, it's because he's commanding the battle! He even used the trash troops of fallen leaves town to deal with our death Warriors!"
"Our men of sacrifice were stronger, but they couldn't get rid of the enemy. They couldn't break out of the encirclement, and they couldn't be captured alive. In the end, they could only commit suicide, which led to the complete annihilation of the Army!"
The servant girl said no more.
The beautiful woman listened with a cold face. Looking at her exquisite makeup in the mirror, she suddenly smiled.
"I've really underestimated that little bastard! They actually caused us to suffer such a great loss! It's not easy to train up a xuansheng stage death warrior ..."
Her smiling face was as beautiful as a flower, but her white jade-like palm grabbed the teacup beside her and suddenly threw it, making a crisp shattering sound.
Whether it was the dressing maidservant or the reporting maidservant, all of them instantly knelt down and lowered their heads, not daring to look at her.
The beautiful woman's face was still smiling, but her voice was as sharp and cold as the icicles of winter,"Who was the one who said that such a lineup is absolutely foolproof? Who was the one who said that the little bastard had died back then? Who said that second brother and his wife would definitely not come back this time?"
"Who is it? Who is it?"
The maidservants knelt on the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly. Of course, no one would answer her.
In fact, most of these decisions were made by her, but the maidservants were already used to it. Their master had a habit of venting his anger on others after his failure.
Whoever replied at this time might become a punching bag.
The beautiful woman was still smiling. Just looking at her smile in the mirror, she was as gentle as water and as beautiful as a flower.
But in fact, she had smashed a lot of things.
"You're all trash! Two surprise attacks! He couldn't even kill a single target! I've really raised them for so many years in vain!"
After venting her anger, the beautiful woman seemed to have calmed down a little. At least, she no longer smashed things.
Of course, there was nothing beside her that she could throw.
"The regional King is already old. Right now, he's busy preparing for the appointment of a Crown Prince. At such a critical time, such a thing happened ..."
"The first Lord and the second Lord have always been on par, and the old Junwang has not chosen a Crown Prince because of this. He wants to see who is more outstanding in the end!"
The beautiful woman stood up and paced back and forth, her mouth constantly talking. It was unknown whether she was talking to the servant girls or talking to herself.
