In the hotel in Walker County, Xu Yue not only did not panic after hearing the shadow's return, but instead showed a hint of sneer.

"Tell Kailus the news and said that we have guests to go to him tonight and let him 'hospit' it."

After hearing his words, the human figure made of shadow bowed slightly and instantly entered the darkness under his feet. Looking at the strange scene when the shadow left, Xu Yue said to himself with a strange look: "The talent of the Shadow tribe is really terrifying, and he deserves to be the best candidate for scouts and assassins."

The human form composed of this shadow belongs to a special race on the Tarenmiya continent - the Shadow Clan. This race is actually a branch of humans, but because of its special nature, it is in a semi-seclusion state and it is difficult to see them on the continent.

The appearance of the Shadow tribe is no different from that of ordinary humans, but they have a very strange ability to transform themselves into shadows and move freely in any shadows and dark places. Because when they become shadows, their aura can almost completely merge with darkness, so if they don’t have too much strength, they will hardly realize the Shadow tribe who becomes shadows.

Thousands of years ago, the Shadow Clan was the best scout and the most terrifying assassin on the Tarenmia continent, because of their racial talent, and there were even examples of legendary strong men successfully assassined by the Shadow Clan level 9 assassin. Although the Shadow Clan assassin relied on toxins on weapons to reach the legendary strong men to death, this is enough to show how terrifying the Shadow Clan’s talent is.

However, the world is fair, giving Shadow Clan people a terrifying hidden talent, but it also makes them much lower in fertility than ordinary humans. Because while the body turns into shadows, it will also be invaded by rich shadow elements, which has caused the death rate of Shadow Clan babies to be as high as 60% during pregnancy, and the chances of Shadow Clan people to be pregnant are even lower. Therefore, in Tarenmiya's history, Shadow Clan people were just a flash in the pan, the short-lived glory of the strongest assassin race, and immediately disappeared in history.

The reason is that the fertility rate and baby survival rate of the Shadow Clan are the fertility rate and the survival rate of the baby. Even the most skillful assassin is, it may still fail. In addition, during the period of the Shadow Clan's active period, it provoked many enemies. In the end, several major forces even joined forces to try to destroy these elusive assassins. Although the Shadow Clan did not completely exterminate the Shadow Clan, it also greatly damaged the vitality of this race, which was already a small population, and had to completely withdraw from the stage of the Tarenmiya continent and hide.

The figure who reported the situation with Xu Yue was a shadow clan, and he was also a level 6 strongman. The name of this shadow clan was Gabriel, and he was just a level 5 strongman that Aiwo bought from the slave trader. He bought this guy who was originally just an ordinary level 5 thief from the hands of a slave trader. He planned to fill it in the guard team as a scout in the guard team.

But what Xu Yue and Aiwo didn't expect was that Gabriel, a level 5 thief, actually had the bloodline of the Shadow Clan, and it looked quite pure. After just one month of entering the Guard, Gabriel, who was already at the peak of the level 5, rose to level 6 after the various rich resources provided by the Guard. At the same time, the Shadow Clan bloodline in his body actually awakened at this time. After receiving this news, Xu Yue looked up a lot of information before confirming that he was the legendary Shadow Clan.

After learning about his identity, Gabriel was also surprised. You should know that he used to think that he was an ordinary human being. Since his parents died, he and his only sister depended on each other. Perhaps because of his shadow tribe blood, he was born with a good at hiding sneak attacks, so he finally joined a small thief organization.

Of course, this kind of small thief organization cannot be compared with an official organization like the Thief Guild. It is just a small organization formed by some thief professionals who do not obey the regulations of the Thief Guild. Most of the jobs they take are stealing and assassination. After seven or eight years of hard work, he was promoted from a rookie to level 5 and became a member of the senior management of that guild.

But unfortunately, their organization offended a powerful noble because of the next assassination business. After the noble mobilized his family's forces to encircle Gabriel's organization, the small organization disappeared under the attack of the powerful forces behind the noble.

Gabriel, a level 5 thief, was seriously injured and dying under the siege of several powerful men of the same level. He should have died in that battle of encirclement. But at the critical moment, he was going to take his sister who escaped with him and stood up to stand in front of him. Although the Shadow tribe has the flaws of having difficulties in giving birth, their genes are very excellent, and both men and women are very handsome.

The nobleman who wanted to get rid of Gabriel took a fancy to his sister's appearance. Under his sister's urge to die, he finally accepted the request to let Gabriel go for life, at the cost of his sister willingly leaving the nobleman. However, the trouble was that the trouble was caused by Gabriel's assassination of a relatively important person in the noble family. If Gabriel was just letting Gabriel go, the nobleman would not be able to argue with the family.

In the end, with compromise between the parties, Gabriel was left with his life, but was demoted to a slave and sold to the slave market.

After being promoted to level 6 and awakened his own bloodline abilities, Gabriel found Ivo. He proposed two conditions. One was that when he reached level 7, the Chamber of Commerce restored him to his identity as a free citizen. The other condition was to help him find his sister and give him shelter. At the most cost, Gabriel was willing to sign the most effective magic contract with Ivo. As a subordinate of Ivo, he served the Chamber of Commerce for life. No matter what level he achieved in the future, the contract will take effect.

After discussing with Avo, Xu Yue agreed to Gabriel's request. The one who took Gabriel's sister was a viscount from the Kingdom of Shia. Avo mobilized all his relationships, like the family of the Viscount to put pressure on him, and at the same time exchanged some of the interests held by the Chamber of Commerce, asking the viscount to return Gabriel's sister. At the same time, Xu Yue even negotiated with the viscount as the Marquis of the Kingdom of Shia.

Although the honorary marquis of the Kingdom of Shia is not an honorary title with an actual fief, the title itself has reached this level, and the rights it represents are already at a very amazing level. Even Xu Yue has not yet shown his muscles in the noble circle and has not been completely accepted by the nobles of the Kingdom of Shia. However, under the huge interests and the oppression of a marquis, a noble who is just a viscount can make not many choices. Even the viscount's family believes that offending a marquis for a pretty ordinary woman. Even the practice of honorary marquis is not in line with the interests of the family, and the other party has paid enough benefits to make the family attractive.

Fortunately, the viscount himself only coveted his beauty for Gabriel's sister and did not develop so-called obsession and other feelings. So after Xu Yue gave him enough face and the family behind him and the steps to step down, the viscount followed suit and agreed to return Gabriel's sister.

What made Gabriel happy was that the viscount might have been playing with gentlemanly demeanor, and did not forcibly possess her sister, but planned to use her extraordinary spirit and demeanor to make the beauty throw herself into her arms. However, it was obvious that the effect was not good. So until Xu Yue and Aivo came to him, he didn't even touch a finger of Gabriel's sister. At this time, it was only a month before Gabriel was sold as a slave.

What satisfied Xu Yue and Avo was that Gabriel was indeed a guy who knew how to repay kindness. He knew how great benefits Avo and Xu Yue had paid for their sister and how much of their relationship they had used. So after seeing his sister, he signed the highest magic contract with Xu Yue and Avo with great gratitude. Once the parties who signed this magic contract were willing to sign it, even if they reached the legendary level in the future, they would not be able to violate it. From this point, it can be seen how Gabriel cared for his sister.

In the following time, with the guarantee of contract, Xu Yue and Aiwo mobilized a large amount of resources to pour them into Gabriel. After the young thief who was just 23 years old awakened his bloodline, his strength also increased explosively. He actually broke through again in just two years, becoming one of the most important level seven combat forces under Xu Yue and Aiwo.

Originally, according to the opinions of Aiwo and Xu Yue, since Gabriel became a level seven strongman, the relationship between the two sides could be improved to the same level. Gabriel's identity should also be transformed into a master worshipped by the Chamber of Commerce. However, Gabriel himself insisted on believing in the following subordinates. After Xu Yue and Aiwo discussed, they could only follow his wishes.

Gabriel is one of the top strong men in the Chamber of Commerce who went to the army this time. He is also one of the killer weapons that the Chamber of Commerce is inquiring about information and restricting the top strong men in Walker County.

In the hotel in Walkershire, after seeing Gabriel leave, Xu Yue stood up and walked to the window. The dark night outside was completely enveloped by the towns of Walkershire. Under this night, the entire Walkershire was lying quietly like a resting beast.

"Is the dark side of Walker County? Interesting. I wonder if you can still be as calm as you are now when both sides' trump cards are turned on?" He smiled and whispered outside.

Time passed quickly, and there was a moon here, but the moon here was much larger than the earth, and the color was light blue. The moon was in the middle of the sky, and the time was already late at night. According to the time of the earth, it was about one o'clock in the night.

A secret but slight footsteps came from the streets of Walker County. After a while, a group of people gathered together and walked quickly from the side of Walker County Street.

The most important place where criminals and thieves gather. Nights in Walkershire are very dangerous. If you come out and wander around at night, you will probably be killed by guys from some unknown places, and then don't take away your wallets. So there is no one in the streets of Walkershire at night. You can only occasionally see hidden eyes from some hidden places.

After seeing these people flying from the main road, the guys hiding in the dark were slightly disturbed, and then some people recognized the face of the person walking in the front of these people, all the guys hiding in the dark seemed to be scared and dared not move.

The purpose of these people who were still rushing on the street at such a late time was very clear. After turning a few turns, they came directly outside the hotel where Xu Yue was staying. After a little searching around, the person in charge nodded and waved his hand. The dozen people behind him immediately broke through the hotel gate and entered inside.

Through the faint moonlight, we can see that the person in the black mage robe was Darnell, who had a meeting with the second in command of the other five major forces in Walker County. Behind him was the team of level 5 and level 6 strong men sent by major forces in Walker County.

It is obvious that although the six major forces in Walker County do not attach much importance to Xu Yue on the surface, they actually acted very quickly when dispatching personnel. They sent the masters hidden in their respective organizations in just one day. Darnell himself was just a level five magician. However, the level six strong men behind him did not resist his command at all, but rushed into the hotel like an obedient subordinate.

To Darnell and the others, after a long walk in the hotel, they found no trace of anyone in the hotel, just as if the people here suddenly evaporated from the hotel.

When the six major forces decided to take action, they had already sent enough people to keep the place in a tight position. Anyone or thing that went out from here would be carefully examined in secret. It is almost impossible to leave here by disguise or hide in something else.

After thinking for a while, Darnell sneered and said, "It seems that this little mouse has discovered something. There should be something like a dark room or a secret passage here, but this is not a problem."

After saying that, he waved the staff in his hand, and a magic model was constructed in two or three seconds. A wave spread from the top of the staff, and then spread towards the four walls and floor of the entire hotel. He closed his eyes and leaned against the magic cover and felt it carefully. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and quickly walked to the wine cellar under the hotel. After a look at a wall blocked by a wooden rack, he shot at the wooden rack with a fireball technique.

An explosion sounded, and the wooden frame was shattered by this fireball technique that deliberately controlled its power. After waving a wind element to dispel the dust in front of you, a deep hole appeared on the wall. Darnell signaled to a professional dressed in the thief in the team behind him. The thief nodded, and his figure flashed and had already entered the hole.

After they waited silently outside the cave entrance for about three or four minutes, the thief ran out of the cave entrance.

"Inside is a passage that leads directly to the outside of the town. There is no ambush in the passage and we are. Our goal should be to detect something wrong and run away from the passage. However, judging from the traces, they did not have a long time at once, so we could easily catch up."

Darnell sneered and said, "Catch up and take back the head of the Chatner, named Xu Yue. We must let those outside forces who want to fight Walker County be prepared to lose their lives if they want to grab meat from our bowls."

The other strong men also showed cruel sneers on their faces, and then these people accelerated and ran into the passage.

While the Walker County forces sent strong men to chase Xu Yue, a team of about 10,000 people was also surrounding the guards hiding in a forest outside Walker County. The personnel of these teams seemed to be wearing various armors, and seemed to be like a group of bandits in a mob.

But these people were in order in their actions, and the entire team was not at all confused during the marching. Moreover, judging from the eyes of these people and the momentum they emitted, they were definitely not comparable to those bandits gathered by the mobs. This is a well-trained army, and according to the marching actions prohibited by the orders, this army can even be regarded as a relatively elite unit.

The army was moving very fast, and there were even about 3,000 cavalry units among the thieves disguised as bandits. Those strong riding beasts did not move in the forest like horses on earth. These riding beasts, which looked like large leopards, had claws similar to leopards. They could flexibly avoid the branches of big trees on the road in the forest.

As they approached the escort, the actions of these troops became more and more careful. The firelight in the escort camp could be seen through the sparse woods in front. Because camping can only be in open areas, the escort camp was in a rocky area in the forest.

After a certain range near the camp, the people here could already see the patrol personnel of some guards guarding outside the camp. Just when the army commander wanted to carefully observe the situation in the camp before attacking, a member of the patrol suddenly shouted at the top of his throat: "Enemy attack!"

After shouting, the patrolman and his teammates ran quickly towards the camp like a frightened bird. Several other patrol teams also followed suit and ran into the camp by shouting the enemy.

The commander of the army was startled. He was discovered by the other party's patrol team who did not understand how his army was discovered by the other party's patrol team. Not to mention their deliberate hiding, even the two sides were still a distance. Did the members of the patrol team bring any magic items that could be warned from a distance?

Instinctively, things were a bit strange, but the situation in front of him no longer allowed the commander of the army to hesitate. The patrol team had issued an alarm, and the other party would soon react. If the other party had sorted out the team and rushed over, the meaning of the sneak attack would be lost.

So the commander of the army could only wave his hand and let the army behind him rush up. The cavalry troops rushed to the front, and the riders on them held torches in both hands and kept throwing the torches on the camp tents. Suddenly, the blazing flames burned on the camp tents.

Because of the temporary camp, no obstacles were set up around, and the sneak attacking army rushed into the camp smoothly. However, after the cavalry force threw out the torch in their hands and most of the camp tents were lit, no half of the members of the guards rushed out of the camp. Even the patrol personnel who had run into the camp before seemed to suddenly disappear. Apart from the shouts of killing made by the army during the attack, only the entire burning tent illuminated the entire camp.

‘No! There is an ambush, everyone continues to rush forward, don’t stop! Blast out of this open space.’ The commander of the army immediately woke up and gave a loud command. His reaction was not unpleasant, although he knew that his army had been ambushed. But according to common sense, the other party’s ambush was probably mainly in this camp, so he ordered his army to quickly rush out of the open space of this camp, and fortunately, the loss of the army was reduced in the maximum pair.

‘This commander’s response was good, but it was not decisive enough. If I were to find that the patrol personnel were not performing correctly, he would order the retreat as soon as possible, and after he hesitating, he still asked the army to launch an attack. It was obviously still in a lucky heart. This was the most unscrupulous in the war.’

On a nearby hill, Kailuth said as he looked at the incoming army.

At this time, Xu Yue, who was supposed to be hunted by the powerful men of the six major Walker County forces, appeared beside Kailus. He smiled and said, "Your arrangement does not give this commander time to think. Anyone will instinctively choose to continue attacking in that situation. After all, it is just a guess and suspicion. If you want a commander to give up a surprise attack that is about to succeed, most people will not choose to retreat."

Kailus shook his head and said, "Actually, the other party should have found something wrong when he touched the edge of the camp. In order to reduce casualties, we have already revealed too many flaws. The fact that the lack of sending secret whistles to guard the surroundings is enough to arouse suspicion. Moreover, in order to prevent the disguised patrol members from causing casualties, starting to warn when they are so far away from the other party is also a huge flaw. The acting skills of those kids are too bad. If it weren't for the night, even the blind man could see the flaws. He would have to teach them a lesson after looking back."

‘Speaking of this, this is also because the other party despises us too much. Although the count of the Kingdom of Shia claims that the army in his territory has been fought for a long time, his territory is not in the border war zone, so these troops are just elite trained by the bandits and bandits in his territory. I am afraid that in the eyes of the other party, we are just armed forces similar to those bandits, right? ‘Xu Yue looked at the soldiers who were rushing forward desperately and said with a smile.

Kailus looked at the army below and sneered, "This kind of elite cannon fodder in the wars I have participated in before. The real elite can not be trained with bandits or bandits."

Xu Yue smiled and nodded and said, "This is the first time I have seen Kailus, you can only fight in the guards. The first scene of this drama is also due to stage. I hope those forces staring at us will not be scared too much, otherwise it will be no fun in the future."
