Of course, if things go well, just this surprise attack can decide the outcome of the battle, which is really a great "good thing".

In addition, even if there are some flaws in this plan, the 3,000 soldiers sent out are just "cannon fodder" to be frank. Even if we take a step back, even if the entire plan fails, as long as the main force is still there, Wu Ganming will definitely not lose!

The timing was perfect, as if it was carefully calculated. The thousand Tianwu soldiers who had been hiding for a long time moved quietly, and they quickly pulled out a small and exquisite dagger from their waists.

The dagger flashed with cold light, and the blade had smooth and natural lines, like a sharp work of art. Holding the dagger, they approached the Tai'an military camp cautiously, each step as light as a feather, for fear of making any sound.

However, everything seemed to be going very smoothly, as if the soldiers in the entire camp had fallen into a deep sleep due to drunkenness, and there was no sound. Except for a few weak campfires scattered on the wide land in front that were still burning silently, there was a dead silence all around.

The night breeze blew gently, bringing with it the coolness of summer, but also a faint aroma of meat. This tempting smell followed the wind into the noses of the Tianwu soldiers, causing them to swallow their saliva secretly. Despite their mission, facing the aroma of such delicious food, they still felt hungry. However, they knew that they could not relax at all at this moment and had to remain highly vigilant.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

In the endless darkness, a slight voice came from a corner. The speaker was the Tianwu soldier Mei Wenhua. At this moment, he turned his head and stared at Du Shuren beside him, his eyes full of vigilance and doubt.

Du Shuren was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Well...something seems to be wrong. But no matter what, the task assigned to us by the general is to investigate the details here. Wait and see what the 'trust stone' in my hand tells us. In short, we must first avoid mistakes...If it really comes to a last resort, we can set fire to these military tents before leaving. As long as we can destroy some of their supplies and materials, even if it causes even a little loss to the enemy, it will be a great achievement for the general!"

As if he had foreseen what might happen, Du Shuren lowered his voice and muttered in response. However, in contrast, beneath his seemingly calm appearance, there was a faint glimmer of wisdom in his eyes.

This "reliquary" is also known as "mother and child stone", which is a very rare and unique ore. Among them, the so-called "mother stone" is just the core part of this ore; and those "child stones" are carefully polished from the "stone skin". These child stones are usually used to transmit specific "signals".

Its usage is very simple and easy: just inject the fighting spirit gained from one's own cultivation into the 'mother stone', and then the 'child stone' will emit a faint but bright light together with the 'mother stone'. However, regarding the specific meaning of this 'flash', each family or organization has its own unique way of 'identifying' and 'understanding'. In short, its principle is actually quite similar to the code sent by the 'telegraph'.

As soon as Du Shuren finished speaking, the "stone" hanging on his wrist emitted two short flashes of light, and then returned to calm.

"Hands on..."

Following a low command, Du Shuren leaned down without hesitation. At the same time, Mei Wenhua also responded quickly. The two of them moved forward lightly and swiftly like well-trained cats.

Behind them followed a group of soldiers, who did not need too many instructions, but just followed their companions in front or beside them. After all, they were all brothers who had fought together before...well, they were brothers who had fought swords together, and they had established a tacit understanding between them that did not need to be expressed in words.

This tacit understanding comes from long-term fighting side by side and mutual trust. In countless life-and-death battles, they have learned how to rely on each other and cooperate seamlessly. Everyone knows their position and responsibilities, and knows when to advance and when to defend, and can even convey information through eye contact and small movements.

However, at this moment, although they are facing unknown dangers, this "tacit understanding" makes them full of confidence. They believe that as long as they unite, they can overcome any difficulties and complete the general's mission.

Therefore, under the leadership of Du Shuren and Mei Wenhua, this team of one thousand people was like a silent torrent, still approaching the target.

However, as they expected, the camp of Tai'an was completely silent, as if there was no one here. The campfire was empty, with only some charcoal that had not yet burned out; the military tent was also empty, with bedding and other daily necessities neatly laid out, but no one was seen; the haystacks were the same, where soldiers were supposed to rest, but now they were unusually quiet; even more surprising was that there was not a single warhorse, and the only smell in the camp was the aroma of meat wafting from the pot, and this aroma seemed to be getting stronger and stronger... This strange scene made everyone feel panic, a kind of uneasiness that came from the "unknown", and at this moment they had no idea what was going on here.
