Vampires' Night Visit
The wind was high and the moon was dark; the sky was gloomy.
The north wind is still howling.
On the tall, thick city walls, soldiers were patrolling nervously, but they could not see anything hidden in the darkness.
From the shadows beneath the city wall, rustling sounds arose, and then pairs of blood-red eyes, gleaming with an eerie light, appeared.
Their skin was pale and bloodless, they wore pure black tailcoats, and their chests were adorned with blood-red emblems of crossed daggers and violins—this was the shadowy unit "Nocturne".
However, the Vampire present were all players.
The player nicknamed "Dark Night Wolf" touched the city wall and asked nervously, "Brother Lang, this is a city, with tens of thousands of people living inside. With our small force, can we really take it down?"
"Who told you we were going to launch a frontal assault on the city?"
"Lang Li Bai Tiao" said disdainfully, and then slapped the young man who had just been lured in hard on the head.
Ouch!
Lang Li Bai Tiao shook his head, looking at him with a disappointed expression. "Don't you even know what assassination is? We're Vampire, elegant assassins in the night. Sneaking into the city and killing a few nobles is a piece of cake."
"Also, don't call me Brother Lang, call me Boss. You have no manners. You're already in Nocturne, how can you still be so ignorant of the rules?"
Dark Night Wolf covered his head and asked, "Then, Brother Lang, no... Boss, if someone discovers us, is it still considered an assassination?"
"Are you stupid? Of course not! There were witnesses, how can it be called an assassination?" Lang Li Bai Tiao laughed and said.
"According to the principles of our Nocturne, if we are discovered during a mission, we must immediately cease all operations."
The Dark Night Wolf pointed to the top of the city wall and whispered, "Then it seems we didn't really assassinate anyone. We made a bit too much noise just now, and someone noticed."
The smile on Lang Li Bai Tiao's face froze instantly. He quickly turned his head and looked up at the top of the city wall.
A soldier was looking down when he met those scarlet eyes.
The soldier trembled violently, his face filled with terror, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Yes, yes!"
"Whoosh—"
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp black arrow pierced his throat, tearing his vocal cords and rendering him unable to utter a sound.
Lang Li Bai Tiao Hand Crossbow, turned around, and revealed a chilling smile, "Alright, now it's still assassination."
He patted the Dark Night Wolf on the back and said earnestly:
"Little Wolf, you still lack mission experience. How can you make noise during an assassination?"
"It wasn't the boss, it was clearly you." "Okay."
Just as Dark Night Wolf was about to retort, he saw Lang Li Bai Tiao ' smiling face and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.
"Lang Li Bai Tiao" glanced around at the twenty-odd Vampire players he had brought, and deliberately lowered his voice to say:
"I killed the soldier on guard duty. The patrol will find out soon, so we must sneak into the city quickly."
"Yes, boss."
The Vampire players used their [Spider Climb] racial ability to quickly climb the city walls.
However, their posture was not very elegant; the way they clung to the wall with their buttocks sticking out did indeed resemble a group of human-shaped spiders.
Soon, the players climbed to the top of the city wall and were about to climb over as planned.
But then something unexpected happened.
"George, wake up!"
"If the captain of the guard comes, he'll slap you twice across the face. He's not in a good mood lately."
"George?"
A patrolling soldier carrying a lantern spotted the person lying on the ground and was walking towards him.
However, at this moment he did not realize that it was a corpse, and only thought that it was a soldier on guard duty slacking off.
The Dark Night Wolf clung to the wall and whispered, "Boss, what do we do?"
"He was also a witness."
However, as the patrolling soldiers approached, they smelled the pervasive stench of blood and finally realized that something was wrong.
"This is George, what happened to you?"
Are you injured?
"Kill him."
The sound of "Lang Li Bai Tiao" almost came from its throat.
"Okay."
A Vampire player next to me scaled the city wall, silently sneaked behind a patrolling soldier, and swiftly slit his throat.
"Click".
The soldier also collapsed, falling right next to the soldier on guard duty, and the two bodies lay side by side.
However, the patrolling soldiers' exclamations were quite noticeable in the quiet night, naturally attracting the attention of the other soldiers on guard duty in the city towers.
"David, did you hear that?"
"It sounds like Stephen's voice."
"Could it be that enemies have arrived?"
"Is there anything unusual there? We need to go check it out."
A cacophony of voices arose as dozens of soldiers nearby approached the players' hiding place.
As a novice, the Dark Night Wolf was immediately flustered.
He turned to look at the Lang Li Bai Tiao beside him and asked anxiously, "Boss, it seems like there are more and more witnesses. What should we do?"
"If the assassination is discovered, should the mission be canceled?"
"No, who told you we'd been discovered?"
"If we kill them all, there won't be any witnesses left?"
"Lang Li Bai Tiao" stared at the approaching soldiers and said through gritted teeth.
The Dark Night Wolf suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly. "Boss, you're right. How come I didn't think of that?"
"Eliminate all witnesses."
At Lang Li Bai Tiao's command, the Vampire players swarmed out and charged towards the soldiers.
They moved swiftly in the shadows, firing arrows from their exquisite Hand Crossbow, killing the soldiers silently before they could even see them.
"David?"
"Oh no, it's an arrow! There are enemies!"
The soldiers finally realized the presence of the enemy.
But it was too late. The Vampire had already silently approached them, hiding in the shadows.
"Huff, huff"
The Dark Night Wolf took a deep breath, his hand gripping the dagger trembling slightly.
"Whoosh—"
The Dark Night Wolf closed its eyes and suddenly exerted its strength, stabbing a soldier in the right chest from behind, causing him to let out a howl of pain.
But he was still alive.
The next moment, an arrow pierced the soldier's throat.
The Lang Li Bai Tiao skillfully hid in the shadows, casually slit the throat of the soldier in front of him, and reminded him with a hint of helplessness, "Damn it, a human's heart is on the left side."
Dark Night Wolf smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Sorry, boss, this is my first time killing someone, I'm not very skilled."
Vampire players, taking advantage of their race and using the cover of darkness, constantly roamed among the crowd, easily killing one soldier after another.
"Monster! There's a monster in the darkness!"
"What is that?"
"Help me!"
"Oh my God, they're all dead!"
Vampire roamed the shadows, slaughtering their way through the darkness, while soldiers were thrown into chaos in the dark.
They cried out and prayed in panic, but all to no avail, only bringing greater fear and nightmares.
Soon after, the air was thick with the stench of blood, and hundreds of corpses were piled up on the city walls. There was no longer a single soldier standing there.
"Damn, at least there are no witnesses now. You guys were so nosy."
"Infiltration mission successfully completed."
Standing amidst the pile of corpses, Lang Li Bai Tiao wiped the blood that had accidentally splattered on his head and said resentfully.
"Yeah, boss..."
"That was a perfect infiltration."
The Dark Night Wolf chimed in from the side.
He felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he could only nod repeatedly.
However, the commotion from the massacre on the city wall also attracted the attention of the soldiers inside the city, and a squad of soldiers was already preparing to climb up to see what was going on.
"Damn it, another job is coming up."
"It's all sand."
Lang Li Bai Tiao looked down at the soldiers below and sighed deeply.
