Chapter 199 The ambition of the shadow leopard prince
Today is July 15th, the night of the full moon.
With the help of invisibility magic and shadow jumping, Chris can sneak into the White Tiger Kingdom's camp silently.
He did not assassinate without any target, but was selective and picked on older people.
Those who are around 40 or 50 years old will most likely have a higher knighthood than young knights.
Chris used Shadow Jump and entered a tent.
Eight knights slept here, closely packed together, making it very crowded.
There was a guy who put his thigh on his companion, smiling and talking unknown words in his sleep.
They were all sleeping soundly, unaware that the danger had come.
Two middle-aged men in their forties were easily wiped on the necks by Chris and died in their sleep.
But others didn't notice it at all.
Chris turned around and left, looking for his next target.
Just like that, an invisible figure and an invisible sword (possessed by Reimu), like a ghost in the dark night, took away dozens of lives in this quiet night.
"Ah! Killed!"
Finally, a piercing scream broke the silence of the night.
A knight ran out with his face covered in blood, shouting: "Oh no, Viscount Bobby has been killed!"
Everyone within a few hundred meters radius was awakened, and at this moment some people were horrified to find that their companions beside them were covered in blood.
"Count Yuri, wake up."
"Viscount Angelot, what's wrong with you?"
Sounds came one after another, and this scene was staged in dozens of tents.
Chris hid in a shadow and watched all this silently.
His purpose was not to kill people, but to bring panic to the camp.
If not a single person was left alive, it would probably be until dawn before anyone would notice anything unusual.
······
Eighty corpses were lined up in front of Jason and Aniya.
The faces of the two earls were ashen and they tried their best to suppress the anger in their hearts.
"That's so arrogant!" Jason roared, "That guy didn't just kill His Highness the Prince, but he actually attacked the nobles of our country. If I catch him, I will definitely peel off his skin and cramps, and cut him into pieces!"
The people who died were all high-ranking nobles above the rank of viscount, and there were even a few earls.
"Master Jason, let's go back, don't stay here anymore."
"Don't continue the development order, it's not worth it."
"Please, Master Jason, I want to go home."
There were pleading voices everywhere, especially those of Viscount and above.
Obviously, the opponent has a purpose and is targeting high-ranking nobles like them. Maybe it will be their turn next.
Therefore, in order to save their own lives, they tried to persuade the two adults to go back at any cost.
Jason took the trouble and shouted angrily: "That's enough!"
Countless people remained silent as they were unwilling to anger this sixth-level powerhouse at this juncture.
Aniya sighed and said: "Go and invite Prince Shadow Leopard over."
"Yes." A knight trotted away.
About half an hour later, Prince Shadow Leopard walked over surrounded by more than a dozen strong men.
Looking at the eighty corpses, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "What happened to these people? What happened?"
Earl Jason said: "It was the murderer who killed His Royal Highness. He obviously had no intention of letting us go so easily."
Prince Shadow Leopard said coldly: "So, you just want to tear up the contract between the two countries and leave right now, right?"
The whole place was silent, and no one from the White Tiger Kingdom dared to answer the question.
"I have found out who the murderer is." Prince Shadow Leopard paused for a moment, until he attracted the attention of everyone nearby, and then continued slowly, "It is the Blood Dragonman of the Eagle Kingdom, that is, the giant red dragon.
We have seen him use invisibility magic to kill people invisible."
In order to avoid responsibility and avoid causing greater panic, he did not tell the story about Ghost Walker and Shadow Jump.
Prince Shadow Leopard comforted him: "He is only one person after all. There are three sixth-level knights from our two countries who patrol in turns. He will not make any more bold moves, otherwise he will die without a burial place."
A knight said worriedly: "But we can't see him after he becomes invisible, so what can we do with him?"
"This gentleman has never dealt with a magician, has he?" Prince Shadow Leopard said to himself, "Invisibility magic can only be seen if it stays still. As long as he starts to move, it will distort the air.
He will be discovered. Being surrounded by tens of thousands of knights, he will not be able to escape even with his wings."
"But His Highness the Prince has passed away, so what's the point of us staying?"
"Don't you want to avenge him? There are also these friends who died tonight." Prince Shadow Leopard was persuasive, "We have three sixth-level knights and a sixth-level magician. What do they have? A sixth-level knight,
Plus a bloody dragon man whose combat power is comparable to the sixth level."
"In terms of high-end combat power, they can't match us. In terms of the overall number of knights, they still can't match us. The only city wall we can rely on will collapse when the earth magicians arrive."
"This is a completely crushing war. Here I can assure you that anyone who is willing to accompany us to the end and win can get a piece of dragon meat!"
"Think about it carefully. For most of you, this is the only opportunity in your life to eat dragon meat. It is also an excellent opportunity to gain military exploits and soar into the sky."
Prince Shadow Leopard's voice was very seductive, which moved the casual knights without titles.
Many people began to hesitate, and there was a war between heaven and man in their hearts.
"I won't force you to stay if you don't want to. I will allow you to return home with your troops and enough food and grass." Prince Shadow Leopard said, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Your Highness and I have
Spending a lot of money to hire famous assassins on the mainland to go to Taote City to assassinate the prince of the Eagle Kingdom has now achieved results. This is why the Eagle Prince did not appear on the battlefield to stabilize the morale of the army during the siege a few days ago.
"
After saying these words, Prince Shadow Leopard turned and left: "Give me an answer tomorrow morning. I will wait for your news."
"Dragon meat, I have never eaten it in my life."
"My life is gone, so what if I eat dragon meat?"
"Tch, who says I can't live to the end? Maybe I can still earn enough merit to be made a baron."
People present began to whisper, and the atmosphere became lively.
Aniya and Jason breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of the Shadow Leopard Prince, these few words eliminated the panic in the camp and turned their attention to other aspects, which was better than the death of their own prince.
