Chapter 435 The Nightmare Begins
The rainforest was shrouded in darkness, so quiet that not even the chirping of insects could be heard. The hungry soldiers waited eagerly for the arrival of supplies.
The guards scattered in a corner of the rainforest were patrolling with great anticipation, when suddenly the aroma of food filled their noses.
One of the guards at the end of the team felt his nose twitch. He suspected that he was hallucinating because of hunger. He couldn't help but ask his companions: "Hey, do you smell the aroma of roasted chicken?"
——"I smell it, it smells so good!"
——"I don't know which team caught the pheasant, and now they are eating it all by themselves!"
The sergeant of the team slammed the red tasseled spear in his hand to the ground and said: "I can't stand it anymore, let's go over and see if we can get a share!"
The aroma of the roasted chicken was so fragrant that everyone was drooling. The fatigue and hunger after the battle made them relax. Without hesitation, a group of people headed towards the direction of the aroma: "Let's go and take a look. If he doesn't give us a bite, we will report it to the eldest prince. Now the eldest prince can only eat fried insects!"
The soldier at the end suddenly realized that they were getting further and further away from the main group and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be the enemy?"
Others disagreed: "Our people have set so many traps in the rain forest, and we have a large number of people, 4,000 of them."
"If they want to kill us, they have to send more people in. With so many enemies who are not familiar with the rain forest coming in, they must fall into a trap, right? Now none of the traps we set up have gone wrong, doesn't that mean no one is coming?"
The soldier who had raised the question just now stopped talking because they had already seen a middle-aged rough man in coarse clothes and unkempt appearance sprinkling salt on a roasted chicken on tree branches.
Beside him were a rough wooden bow and an iron spear. Judging from his clothes, this rough man looked like a hunter who came to the rainforest to hunt.
The rough man sensed someone approaching and turned around to find five tall and strong soldiers standing behind him.
He was so scared that he sat down on the ground with a terrified look in his eyes: "My dear friends, I just came to the rain forest to hunt."
The sergeant became even happier when he heard this. Didn't this mean that the roast chicken belonged to someone in their team?
"Oh, it turns out they are not our people. I was wondering why this location is far away from our main force."
Seeing that he was just a poor man, the sergeant's expression suddenly became arrogant: "This is the temporary camp of the eldest prince. You, a hunter, appearing here rashly, must be a problem! Someone, arrest him for me!"
However, after he said this, the guards following him did not respond.
He looked back and saw that the four people he had brought were lying on the ground in a mess.
Before the sergeant had time to look back at the rough man, his neck was wiped.
The rough man was one of the captains of the 100 teams brought by Wen Qiaojiang and Li Li. He squatted down and wiped the blood off the knife with the dead man's clothes.
The second team member of the navy led by him also gathered around and quickly searched the dead body on the ground.
The team members all had satisfaction and excitement on their faces.
"We have too much of an advantage in this battle. It's a completely one-sided massacre. The other side has no way to resist."
"I told you that it's right to follow Boss Wen Qiao. Boss has so many powerful friends. I can't imagine where we will end up in the future."
"Yes, ever since we met the Crown Princess and her friends, every battle we fought has been easy. If we still use our old fighting methods, tonight will surely be a dangerous night."
The rough man listened to the team members' sighs and shared their feelings. They thought that after being framed and exiled, they would have to live a life of exile, but they didn't expect that they are now doing well. "Maybe it's because the prince led our Xin family army to fight for the people and accumulated blessings, so we can meet such a group of noble people."
After getting along together for almost a year, the Xin family soldiers have genuine respect and admiration for Jiang Lili, Wen Qiaosheng, Zhixing and others.
"You newcomers should work harder and live up to Governor Wen's cultivation of you!"
He glanced at the roasted chicken on the tree branch and said, "Let's go, take the bait and continue to trap other enemies!"
--"yes!"
Similar crushing massacres took place in every corner of the rainforest.
As time goes by, the number of troops available to the eldest prince is decreasing rapidly.
In the temporary command camp, Wen Qiao saw one of the team leaders coming to report the situation and asked hurriedly: "What is the situation now?"
The man replied, "The eldest prince has discovered that his soldiers have been killed one after another. They have become chaotic. The eldest prince is now mobilizing his existing troops to form a protective circle and evacuate to an open area."
Jiang Lili fiddled with the loudspeaker in her hand, and then looked at Sheng Zhixing who was taking a nap. She blinked her eyes and suddenly had an idea, "How about using some tricks to make them even more chaotic?"
Wen Qiao likes Jiang Lili's various clever ideas the most. Her train of thought is strange but effective: "Tell me about them!"
*
The people under the eldest prince found the bodies of their own people in the rain forest one after another, and now they are in a panic. The eldest prince's deputy general has gathered all the people together, but some people have died on the way to receive the order.
The soldiers who have gathered around the eldest prince have now protected him tightly.
Sheng Wei was originally very confident in his control of the rainforest and had already regarded it as his own territory. However, after hearing that the net they had laid did not catch a single person and his men were assassinated one after another, Sheng Wei began to question his life.
The deputy general analyzed: "Prince, judging from the current situation, it seems that a group of assassins with excellent division of labor and coordination are lying in ambush in the rain forest."
After hearing this, Sheng Wei questioned, "There is an assassin. What are all of you doing here? If everyone punches the assassin, he should be dead, right? Find the assassin!"
The deputy general lowered his head even lower. "The enemy is elusive and always manages to escape flexibly. He also led our people into the trap we set. Now more than 20 soldiers have fallen into the trap while chasing the assassin hiding in the dark."
After hearing this, Sheng Wei became even more furious. The net they had painstakingly set up did not catch a single enemy, but instead, it was their own people who fell into the trap.
After the eldest prince calmed down, the deputy general asked weakly, "So, should we stay here and wait for reinforcements to deliver supplies, or should we send someone out to catch the assassin?"
"What do you want to do with your brain?"
Sheng Wei kicked the deputy general hard and said, "There are more than 3000 people left now. 500 of them will protect me, and the remaining 2500 people will be divided into groups of 50. They will take turns to rest and patrol to catch assassins. Is that more than enough?"
