I really didn't want to burn it.

Because a military officer had just entered the tent to report intelligence, the messenger dared not go in, fearing he might overhear something he shouldn't.

"Fool!"

Guo Tong's voice came from inside the military tent.

"Of course I heard the explosion! You should be figuring out why the explosion happened, not coming here to tell me there was one!"

"Yes."

The messenger quickly bowed his head and said yes, then jogged away from the military tent.

"That really surprised me."

Inside the military tent, Wang Xun tilted his head, looking at Guo Tong in his hand.

"I thought you would call him in to rescue you."

"Fool! If he comes in, he'll alert the entire camp. How am I supposed to question you then?"

Guo Tong, a member of the Imperial Guard, was suddenly grabbed by the neck with great force, but he did not panic. His face, which was contorted with difficulty breathing, showed only anger and mockery.

Guo Tong clearly felt that Wang Xun controlling him meant he had something to say to him. In his view, this risky situation was an excellent opportunity to learn about the other party's intelligence.

"Besides, what do you think you can do after you've taken me hostage? Give orders to this unit?"

Guo Tong said coldly, "Although I am the commander of this unit, I only have the authority to command in battle. When it comes to choosing between that official's orders and my safety, those soldiers will not hesitate at all."

“I have no interest in gaining command of this unit by threatening you, former general.” Wang Xun raised his eyebrows. “I just need you to create chaos. There are plenty of ways to do that.”

"What did you say?"

Guo Tong's face was full of astonishment and surprise.

"Well..."

A glint flashed across Wang Xun's face, and his appearance changed.

"After all, you are the leader of this unit..."

Wang Xun transformed into a young man with short black hair.

"Surely your orders should have some effect?"

Then, the black-haired man's face transformed into Guo Tong's.

"you you……"

Guo Tong's eyes widened in disbelief; he simply couldn't believe that someone could disguise themselves to look exactly like him.

"See, I don't need to threaten you at all."

Guo Tong shrugged twice, then gripped Guo Tong's hand and began to tighten his grip.

"Wait!" Guo Tong shouted anxiously, sensing his life slipping away. "I think we can still talk..."

Click.

Guo Tong mercilessly snapped the neck of the person in his hand.

thump.

Guo Tong's body lay lifeless on the ground, his eyes still holding the resentment he felt before his death.

"Sorry, but when you don't take those people seriously, we have nothing to talk about."

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, "Guo Tong" said in a calm tone.

As the explosion occurred, the seriously wounded soldier in the emergency tent on the other side suddenly opened his eyes and punched the person next to his bed.

"Ignore the explosion outside, saving lives is the priority! This person has lost a lot of blood and needs to have the bleeding stopped quickly!"

The military doctor, unaware of what was happening behind the scenes, anxiously spoke to his assistant.

However, no one answered him.

"how?"

The medic turned around curiously, only to see a dark object rapidly approaching him.

thump.

The medic, who had been hit in the head, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"I'm sorry, doctor."

The attacker sighed slightly. She put away her shield and quickly set up the first aid room to avoid arousing suspicion from those outside.

When the curtain of the emergency room tent was lifted again, Mash, who had changed into clean armor and was wearing goggles, came out.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

In the quiet alleys of Bianliang, several figures were moving at an extremely fast pace.

"I didn't expect to get in so easily."

Ritsuka muttered to himself.

She originally thought it would take a lot of effort to enter the already sealed-off Bianliang city, but unexpectedly, there were people on the city wall who directly met them.

They entered Bianliang, which was supposedly completely sealed off, with very little effort.

"Kirshtalia has only been in control of the Royal Guard for a short time," the Empress said with a smirk. "Although he successfully turned my Royal Guard against us, he doesn't know that there are many spies I planted in the Royal Guard in the past."

"Really... Sister Yang, you're really amazing."

Ritsuka didn't know what to say, so she could only smile wryly and agree.

Although Ritsuka herself had some reservations about Her Majesty the Empress's actions, she also knew that arranging spies was something that politicians had to do.

"Alright, we've entered Bianliang City." Da Vinci looked around at the dimly lit, deserted alleyway and said with some difficulty, "So, where should we go next?"

Ritsuka pointed north: "Based on my contract with Mash, she should be in that direction. But..."

Before entering Bianliang City, Ritsuka had already heard that Kirshtalia would be clearing out the "mob" in the city.

Given Ritsuka's sense of justice, she would definitely want to save those people, but she was also really worried about Mashu.

"That direction leads to the Imperial Guard's command post in the north of the city."

Based on the information given to her by her inside contact, Her Majesty the Empress immediately confirmed the location indicated by Ritsuka.

“It’s in the opposite direction from where the crowd is gathering,” Leonardo da Vinci said, perplexed.

"Alright then, I'll send my servant to check on the situation among the people. We'll go find Miss Mash first," Her Majesty the Empress made the arrangement. "Assasn, thank you for your help."

"Yes, Master."

A woman with a beautiful figure, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and wearing a black veil, suddenly appeared behind Her Majesty the Queen.

After nodding to Her Majesty the Queen, the other party disappeared at an extremely fast speed.

"I never expected Sister Yang to summon an Assassin. I thought it would be a powerful Saber or something. And—"

Ritsuka recalled the Assasn she had just seen and said with a hint of confusion, "I feel like I've seen that Assasn somewhere before."

"Who knows?" Her Majesty the Queen smiled knowingly. "It might be someone you know very well."

"Is it?"

Ritsuka tilted her head, making a big question mark.

In ancient China, the term "Assasn" likely referred to the assassin.

"Could it be another form of Jing Ke? But it doesn't quite seem like it. Ah, no, no. What am I thinking!"

Ritsuka shook her head, trying to clear her mind of things that were irrelevant to the mission.

However, Ritsuka had only taken the first step—

boom!

A deafening explosion came from the direction Ritsuka and the others were heading.

The sound of the explosion rang out in the already silent city of Bianliang, amplified many times over.

"It seems that our Miss Mashu is also a woman who can't stand being alone."

As she watched the billowing smoke from the explosion, the Queen narrowed her eyes slightly.

Chapter 342 Captain: I will save humanity!

Bianliang Command Post.

Two black, bipedal dragons swept across the sky and attacked the soldiers on the ground.

At this moment, the command post was completely thrown into chaos by the attack of these two-legged wyverns. These guards never dreamed that they would have to fight these winged monsters, and for a moment they were all in disarray.

"Oh dear~ It's all messed up, it's all messed up."

Standing high in the camp, Jeanne Alter manipulated the black dragon while revealing a contemptuous smile.

A sudden explosion, followed by an attack from an unknown creature, would make it impossible for even the most well-trained soldiers to remain completely calm.

"Master, I have completed my mission. How are things on your end?"

"no problem."

Li Ang's voice came through the communication.

"I've already taken care of that former general, and everything is proceeding according to plan."

Li Ang's plan was very simple and brutal. To put it bluntly, it was to create a disturbance at the command post to provide a breakthrough for the protesters and allow them to break out from there.

Therefore, after entering Bianliang, Li Ang contacted his people who were already infiltrating Bianliang and had them contact the leaders of the people to finalize the evacuation plan.

If possible, Li Ang would prefer to transfer these people directly from the settlement to Bianliang in the Qin Dynasty.

Unfortunately, although the two singularities have been completely merged, the passage nodes are not everywhere. The connection point between Junyi (the name of Bianliang during the Qin and Han dynasties) of the Great Qin and Bianliang of the Great Tang is located just north of the city, which happens to be within the jurisdiction of the Imperial Guard.

"That's a fucking mess."

Li Ang grumbled unhappily as he adjusted his armor.

When the tent of Guo Tong, the former general of the Imperial Guard, was opened again, Guo Tong walked out with an icy expression.

The general was still holding a sword in his hand, the sword stained with blood.

The armor Guo Tong was wearing was covered in bloodstains.

It felt like we had just gone through a major battle.

The guards were startled upon seeing this and quickly stepped forward, saying, "General, you've finally come out. What happened?"

As the guard spoke, he kept glancing into the military tent, trying to see where the military commissioner was.

The blood on the sword seemed to be telling him a truth...

Guo Tong ignored him and said in a deep voice, "This riot was caused by that Military Commissioner! He's a spy sent by that witch emperor! He deliberately infiltrated the chaos to attack us!"

Upon hearing this, the guards quickly lifted the tent flap and looked inside.

A man dressed in the uniform of a military magistrate lay in a pool of blood. His face was covered in blood and his features were unrecognizable, but based on his build, one could vaguely make out the outline of the military magistrate.

The guard smirked. His superior was ruthless; what deep-seated grudge could this be?

"Stop looking! Immediately give the order to gather all the soldiers!" The general kicked his personal guard in the backside and ordered in a deep voice, "Those rioters dared to launch a sneak attack here, which means they're about to make a big move!"

"Yes!"

The guards dared not delay and immediately ran to announce the order.

"you!"

Guo Tong then called over another messenger: "Go and summon all officers of general rank and above. I need to discuss our next strategy with them."

"……Yes."

The soldier was clearly not happy, but he had to obey his superior's orders.

Guo Tong ignored the terrified soldiers and instead took out a bow and arrow, drew the bowstring, and fired two arrows into the sky.

"Aww!" *2

The two bipedal dragons flying in the sky plummeted to the ground of the command post.

Some of the braver soldiers went forward to check and found that the two dragons had already died.
