With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

On the city walls, torches flickered faintly.

It sways in the night wind, casting mottled shadows.

Night Owl led the special forces, shuttling under the shadow of the city walls.

They wore black night clothes and had black paint on their faces, blending in with the night.

Each of them was agile, moved quickly and lightly, and landed silently.

He quietly avoided the guards patrolling the city walls and sneaked into the city.

According to the plan, they split into three groups and headed for the city gate control agency, granary and armory respectively.

The team led by Night Owl is responsible for seizing the city gate control mechanism.

They crept along the shadows along the inner side of the city wall, avoiding the sight of patrolling soldiers.

Finally, we arrived at the bottom of the tower where the city gate control mechanism was located.

The tower rises high into the clouds and is heavily guarded.

At the entrance of the tower, two guards held spears and watched the surrounding movements vigilantly.

Night Owl made a gesture, signaling the team members to hide.

He carefully observed the surrounding environment and found a drainage outlet on the back of the tower.

There was a small window above the drain, which was not closed tightly, leaving a gap.

Ye Xiao's mind moved and a plan came to his mind.

He motioned for two team members to come forward, one to keep watch.

One of them took out a thin rope from his body.

Fix one end of the rope to the drain outlet and throw the other end into the gap of the small window.

The rope fell accurately into the small window, and Night Owl pulled it gently to confirm that the rope was securely fixed.

He took a deep breath, climbed up the rope, and quietly climbed in through the small window.

After entering the tower, Night Owl found that there was only one guard inside who was taking a nap.

He quickly stepped forward, covered the guard's mouth, and subdued him neatly.

Then, Night Owl opened the tower door and let the team members waiting outside in.

At the city gate control mechanism, Ye Xiao and others encountered a team of patrolling guards.

"who?"

The captain of the defending army shouted sternly, and at the same time raised the torch in his hand and shone it on Ye Xiao and others.

In the light of the fire, the black figures of Ye Xiao and others appeared particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

"Kill your people!"

Night Owl snorted coldly and took the first step.

Members of the special forces also drew their weapons and engaged in fierce battles with the defenders.

The flashes of swords and the cold light gleam.

Night Owl shuttled through the enemy camp, the dagger in his hand flying, bringing up streaks of blood.

He was agile and his moves were fierce, and each of his blows went straight to the enemy's vital points.

A defender swung a spear and attacked, but Night Owl dodged to the side and slashed his throat with a backhanded knife.

Blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

Another guard swung his knife at Night Owl's head. Night Owl raised his dagger to block, sparks flying.

The huge force made his arms numb, but he did not retreat and kicked hard with his feet.

He suddenly jumped up and kicked the defender in the chest, sending him flying.

Members of the special forces also showed their skills and fought a desperate battle with the defenders.

They cooperated well and were unstoppable in both offense and defense.

One team member held two knives, slashing left and right, the knife light was like snow.

The two defenders were forced to retreat again and again.

Another team member used a long sword, with exquisite sword skills and deadly moves, and each sword pierced the enemy's heart.

There is another team member who is good at using hidden weapons. He keeps shooting darts from his sleeves.

Every dart hits the target accurately, making the enemy defenseless.

Although the defenders were large in number, they were vulnerable in the face of well-trained special forces.

They suffered defeat after defeat, their morale dropped, and they were soon defeated.

Night Owl seized the opportunity and led the special forces members to break through the defenders' defense line and head straight for the city gate control mechanism.

The control mechanism was a complex contraption of brass gears, steel levers, and pulleys, all stained with rust and oil.

Night Owl observed carefully and with his rich experience

They soon found the mechanism that controlled the city gate - a handle engraved with complex runes.

He turned the handle hard, and with a harsh friction sound, the city gate slowly opened.

At the same time, the other two teams also completed their mission and captured the granary and armory.

The three teams met at an agreed location in the city and prepared to evacuate.

At this moment, a sharp alarm pierced the night sky and fire broke out in the city.

A large number of defenders rushed in from all directions, shouting and surrounding them.

"No, we are surrounded!"

One team member exclaimed.

"Don't panic, maintain formation, and break out!"

Night Owl gave orders calmly, his eyes piercing the surrounding enemies.

The special forces members quickly formed a combat formation, back to back, with their guns facing outward, ready to fight.

Night Owl took the lead, the dagger in his hand turned into cold light, constantly reaping the lives of the enemies.

Each flash was accompanied by a scream.

Members of the special forces followed closely behind and fought bravely.

They were unstoppable, their weapons spewing flames as they knocked down their enemies one by one.

On the other side, the city gate made a dull "boom" sound.

The heavy door slowly opened, revealing Night Owl and his special forces members covered in blood.

Before they could catch their breath, deafening shouts of killing came from outside the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, a huge black army poured into the city like a tide.

The leader was Lu Yan.

He was wearing armor and holding a long sword, with the enemy's blood still on the blade.

"Go ahead, brothers! For that hot bite tonight!"

Lu Yan let out an "Awooo" and the soldiers behind him went crazy.

They rushed down the mountain, howling like hundreds of huskies having fun.

Can't stop it!

The defenders in the city were already in chaos due to the surprise attack by Ye Xiao and others.

At this moment, the camp was in chaos.

The broken war drum was discarded in the corner, the drumhead torn.

The flags were tilted to one side, the flagpoles were broken, and the flags were fluttering weakly in the night wind.

The soldiers' armor was askew, stained with dirt and blood.

Some soldiers even lost their helmets, revealing terrified faces.

Weapons were scattered all over the ground, swords were broken, and bows and arrows were damaged.

The soldiers ran around like headless flies, some crying and shouting for their companions.

Some of them ran away in panic, trying to avoid being hunted by the enemy.

Others simply knelt down and begged for mercy, begging the enemy to spare their lives.

Now they are facing a fierce attack from Lu Yan's army, which is even worse.

They organized their resistance in a panic, and the shield soldiers had no time to form a shield wall.

They were knocked to the ground by Lu Yan's army, which was as fierce as wolves and tigers.

The shield fell to the ground with a dull thud.

The shield soldier was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground groaning in pain.
