Twilight gradually rose.
At the foot of the hill, a candle lit up.
"Have you heard? Young Master said that if we don't exterminate the bandits of Mound Hill Mountain, we won't leave.”
"Yeah! We've used all kinds of methods, but we haven't been able to eliminate them. Unless we fight a protracted war, this is enough to fight.”
"Young Master is in Xianyang, so it is understandable that you don't know how difficult it is to deal with the local raiders.”
……
In the camp, the Wu County soldiers whispered.
A veteran shook his head and said," This is a good thing for the people of Wu County. However, I'm afraid that Young Master is just here for fun. If he can't take it down after a long time, he will be tired and withdraw his troops. He won't stay for long."”
"That's true! This group of bandits was extremely cunning and savage, so how could they be easily exterminated? After Young Master was defeated, he could only leave it at that.”
……
In the tent.
Ying Ziqin sat upright.
Zhang Han stood at the side.
Xing Ke, Sang Jie, Wu Cheng and the others all waited respectfully for the order.
They still didn't understand the intentions of this young master of the empire.
Especially Xing Ke.
From the moment he received the decree, he was confused.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that these thousand cavalry were here to accompany Young Master.
"All of you, leave."
Ying Ziqin suddenly said.
The few of them looked like they wanted to say something but hesitated as they left the tent.
"Young Master, why don't you let this general investigate the situation in the Qiu Mountains?”
Zhang Han asked.
With his Zongshi Realm strength, if he entered the hill and worked with Great Qin's cavalry outside, he could completely destroy it.
There was no need to waste time here.
Ying Ziqin waved his hand and said," There's no need. There's no need to mobilize so many people for such a small matter. You can leave first."”
Small matter?
This was not an ordinary bandit.
They wouldn't be able to take it down even if they didn't mobilize a large number of people.
Zhang Han wanted to suggest something, but the words 'retreat' stuck in his throat.
Just as Zhang Han was about to step out of the tent, Ying Ziqin reminded him,"Oh right, prepare to set off tomorrow for the next destination.”
Zhang Han was stunned.
Didn't they say that they had to deal with the raiders at Mound Hill Mountain first?
Why was he preparing to go to the next destination?
What was Young Master doing?
After he left with doubts, Xu Xuan and the others walked out of the darkness.
Ying Ziqin glanced at the five of them and ordered,"Now is the time to test your combat strength. Don't disappoint this young master. There's no need to show mercy when dealing with these remnants of Chu.”
"Yes, sir."
Xu Xuan and the others cupped their hands and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Ying Ziqin's eyes were burning.
Five against three hundred.
This was the first battle of the Shadow Legion!
He was also looking forward to it.
……
Inside the hill.
"Milord, there are many Great Qin Cavalry outside, and there are even more of them than before. What should we do?”
A brawny man with a large saber on his shoulder reported.
The leader of the raiders was a burly man in black armor. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his entire body was covered with a terrifying baleful aura.
He had killed countless people to cultivate this skill.
Ordinary people would definitely be scared to death.
"Tell our brothers to be vigilant and prevent anyone from sneaking into the mountains at night.”
"This time, Great Qin's elite cavalry has come. They are different from the border guards of Wu County, and there are quite a few of them.”
When the leader of the Qiu Mountains was a general of the Chu Country, he had fought with the Great Qin army countless times, so he could naturally tell.
"A big shot?"
When the others heard this, their eyes turned sharp and they immediately sneered,"Who cares what kind of big shot he is. Since he has arrived at the foot of Qiu Mountain, why don't we kill him?”
"Don't be anxious. We'll investigate the situation tomorrow.”
The leader of Mound Hill Mountain stopped him.
However, there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes as he looked at Huo Zhu.
The Chu Country had fallen.
But they did not die.
One day, they would definitely overthrow the violent Qin and reform the Chu Country.
Phew…!
Suddenly, the candlelight seemed to have sensed his coldness and swayed a few times.
The shadow in the wooden house also swayed a few times.
Puchi!
In the next moment, a bloody sword tip suddenly drilled out from the throat of the burly man carrying the large saber!
The burly man's pupils constricted.
He quickly covered his neck with his hands. His eyes were filled with doubt, disbelief, and fear.
Puchi! Puchi!
Almost at the same time, the other people in the wooden house were also killed.
"Not good, there's…an assassin!"
The leader's pupils constricted and just as he was about to react.
He felt a pain in his heart as he looked down in disbelief.
A sword pierced through his chest.
"How…how is this possible!"
His reaction was fast enough.
But he didn't even see anyone.
In this room, he was sure that no one could escape his sight.
He was a first-class expert in the martial arts world, and his six senses were extremely high. He could catch the slightest movement of the wind. However, he did not understand why such a strange situation would occur.
But soon, his doubts were answered.
In the shadows of the dead people, figures appeared strangely like ghosts.
At the same time, a black shadow appeared behind him.
"Shadow!"
As the last two words left his mouth, the leader's pupils quickly lost their luster.
Xu Xuan and the four guards stood in the room.
Looking at the dead raiders and the sword in his hand, he was shocked.
These raiders were all very strong.
The leader of Mound Hill was a first-rate expert.
However, he was instantly killed by them without a sound.
This kind of shadow attribute was too terrifying.
"Milord, are we considered to have grasped the Divine Power?”
A guard looked at Xu Xuan.
"Cut the crap! This is Young Master's power. Now that you've given it to us, we'll be Young Master's shadows.”
Xu Xuan walked out with a sword stained with blood.
He was also shocked and terrified by this mysterious power.
Even he was afraid.
Hiding in the shadow and fusing with the shadow, if he was a martial grandmaster or a Xiantian grandmaster, who in the world could escape his assassination?
Divine Power?
Could Young Master be the reincarnation of a god?
Xu Xuan understood the shock in their hearts, but he said coldly,""Hurry up and settle Qiu Shan's matter.”
The other four nodded and quickly hid themselves as they headed to various parts of the village.
A terrifying massacre was also quietly carried out under the night sky.
When the raiders noticed, the village was filled with corpses.
Looking at the flickering shadow, the surviving raiders were scared out of their wits. They fled frantically, fleeing out of the hill or hiding in the dark, shivering.
Until dawn.
The Great Qin Cavalrymen guarding the various mountain passes and the raiders rushed out in fear, alerting the army camp.
"General, something happened."
"County Lieutenant, something happened!"
Xing Ke, Sang Jie, and Wu Cheng woke up from their tents and walked out with their clothes on.
"What happened?"
Xing Ke frowned.
"General, the raiders from the hill have charged out.”
the soldier reported.
"It's good that you've rushed out. Prepare for battle.”
Xing Ke headed straight for the mountain pass.
More than forty raiders were escorted and kneeling on the ground. Their faces were pale, and their lips were trembling as they mumbled," Ghost, there's a ghost!"
"General Xing, what happened here?”
Wu Cheng and the others walked over, feeling extremely puzzled.
"These raiders rushed out early in the morning. We thought they were preparing to fight, but they actually surrendered and kept saying that there were ghosts.”
the soldier reported.
Xing Ke walked up to a bandit and asked coldly,""Speak, what happened in the Mound Hill Mountains?”
"They're all dead! There are ghosts killing people!"
The raider's lips trembled as he recounted what he had seen on the hill.
Ghosts?
The few of them were shocked.
Hearing that the situation in the hill was not right, Xing Ke and the others rushed straight to Ying Ziqin's tent.
Ying Ziqin stretched and walked out of the tent.
"Young Master, something has happened at Qiu Mountain."
Xing Ke said solemnly.
"Got it."
Ying Ziqin's expression was calm, and he wasn't surprised at all.
What the hell!
Did he know?
Xing Ke, Sang Jie, and Wu Cheng were stunned.
"General Zhang, the matter at Qiu Shan has been resolved.”
Ying Ziqin didn't explain, but instead, he said to Sang Jie, Wu Cheng, and the others,"You guys will handle the aftermath. As for those who surrendered, Qin Fa will deal with them as he should.”
Xing Ke and the others were stunned. They looked at each other.
Immediately, they led the cavalry into the hills without any obstruction.
All he could see were corpses.
Even the bandit leader died in the wooden house.
Half of the 300 or so people had died overnight, and the remaining 100 or so people were either hiding in trees or behind rocks. When Great Qin's Cavalry arrived, they rushed out and surrendered.
