Chapter 102 Calculation

In short, before Ash Rufate returned, there was a lot of noise in this house (a few unburned buildings in the village) that were used as the venue, but in the end, the departure of the school had the upper hand. It took a long time for everyone to come to the final conclusion. It was to wait for Lord Ash Rufate here for half a day... If Lord Ash Rufate had not returned in half a day, then the main force would return first, leaving twenty volunteers waiting for him.

They made the decision, but as they discussed the details—such as how to gather volunteers, how to retreat, who takes the lead, who stays behind, etc., there was a commotion among the soldiers beside them.

At this moment, the officers were very sensitive to this situation - there was no way to be insensitive. They went deep into the army alone and had no support. Although they won a victory, they were a kind of victory that had little significance (as long as the Immortal Lord is still alive, the war is not over yet). After this victory, the situation of this raiding force was still dangerous. As long as one step was not careful, it was possible that it would never be able to leave the swamp again.

"What happened?" someone asked. For a moment, everyone looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to see what happened. This is the difference between a leader and no leader - when there is a leader, he can ask anyone to see the situation at will, even if he doesn't ask for it, someone will volunteer to see it (because this will undoubtedly increase the impression of the leader). But once the leader is not there, the situation will turn around. So many people here, and the person who takes the initiative to see it is undoubtedly a manifestation of open weakness and implying that he has the lowest status.

However, judging from the momentum, it was not an enemy army that launched a counterattack. Of course, although this was a swamp and many enemies fled, they could never have launched a counterattack so quickly. Something unusual happened.

A soldier suddenly came in from outside the door without wearing a helmet, and his face was full of excitement.

"Lord Ash Rufate... is back..." the soldier said loudly.

All disputes and problems were completely resolved here. Everyone rushed out the door. Then, they immediately discovered why there was such a big commotion.

The soldiers gathered together and were cheering. As the Chaos Lord Ash Rufate stood in the square in the center of the village, holding something high in his hand.

That was the helmet of the Immortal Lord. It took Astiana, the Chaos Lord, who spent twenty years to get something. This thing is in his hand, so you can imagine what the Immortal Lord Jacks will end up.

...

Three days later, in the camp outside the swamp, Asthurfate received congratulations from the ruler of the Dangerous Peak City, the Chaos Lord Astianna.

Astiana might have not expected Ashrufate to kill the Immortal Lord Jacks in such a short time. But after confirming the news, he immediately realized that the future of this junior is infinitely bright. Therefore, his letter was very humble. Rather than a Chaos Lord congratulating another Chaos Lord as an ally, it was a subordinate who was complimenting the achievements made by the monarch.

Ashu Rufate read the letter once, and after confirming that there was no suspicious hint, he placed it on the candle and lit it.

Then he sat down and began to think about what to do next. Hey, he shouldn't have had too many expectations. It would be great to be able to kill the Immortal Lord - at least now, the tribes in the swamp have lost their recognized leaders. What will happen next? Or what will happen to his forces when a powerful leader dies unexpectedly? This is simply no guess. Such situations have already happened countless times in chaos and will continue to happen in the future.

But for him, killing the Immortal Lord is not the ultimate goal. This can only be considered as starting a head, as if he has found the starting position, but it still takes a lot of time and energy to complete this road.

He now has to consider various situations, carefully think about whether he has done something wrong, and then carefully think about what he should do next - how to achieve the greatest results in the shortest time...

When he wanted to calm down, he heard the sound outside. It was the rapid footsteps of humans during the battle and the dull breathing that was deliberately lowered. Finally, he heard a scream - actually half of it. Because the sound was completely suppressed at the beginning - someone blocked the victim's mouth in time.

Here comes again. Assassination was cursed with a voice that could only be heard by himself. This is also a characteristic of Tsengchi. Assassination may not be so popular in chaos, but it is also a tradition that has never been cut off, especially the believers of Tsengchi. Assassination began to doubt whether he had made a wrong choice, because serving Tsengchi was really a laborious thing - in addition to the scam tasks assigned by Tsengchi, there was also a group of subordinates who were planning to take action behind the scenes at any time. Even worse, sometimes, this assassination was not really intended to assassinate, but just a means of frame-up.

A man lives in a small tent with only a limited guard outside - this unsuspecting posture is simply a natural target of the assassin. The assassin is considered a coward in chaos, and for a coward, an unsuspecting image is really an irresistible temptation.

Asu Ruffatt initially played. Well, to be honest, it is always better to be prepared to lead the black hand than to be unprepared. But now he regrets that Tsengchi's secret is not an assassin, but to use all available conditions—including a role in order to lead the assassin.

He stood up and walked out. The melee outside had just ended, and two guards on guard fell to the ground. Three assassins fell down with them - but even so, there were three more assassins.

After seeing Ash Rufate come out, one of the assassins quickly took out something. Ash Rufate immediately understood that it was a magic-breaking scroll - magic energy was activated, and the scroll instantly turned into a ball of ashes.

He was really prepared... Ash Rufat watched the assassins finish this matter with an indifferent expression. Then the three assassins carefully surrounded him.

"Do you think you can deal with me like this?" Ashu Rufate asked. "I am a Chaos Lord."

"I don't dare to do it at ordinary times." The leading assassin actually answered. "But now you can neither use magic nor summon weapons, so we dare." That being said, his movements were still very cautious. Because Ash Rufate was always a Chaos Lord, it's okay to be careful when fighting with a Chaos Lord.

The assassin on the right was the first to attack and made three consecutive rushes at Ash Rufat, but they were all avoided.

"It's unfair to use a sword to target unarmed people, isn't it? At least give me a dagger." Asu Ruffat said, looking at the other two. One is the main attacker, the other is the restraining, and the other is the one to charge up the power to launch a fatal blow. It's perfectly coordinated. Without the suitable weapon and armor, this combination may really kill a Chaos Lord. Of course, this is just a possibility.

"Of course it's impossible. How dare we let a Chaos Lord pick up a weapon?"

"Okay," Ash Rufate replied, and the next moment, the Sword of Wither appeared in his hands. "Then I will use my own weapon."

The leading assassin blinked, realizing that Ash Rufate's ability to summon magic weapons was not affected by the magic-breaking scroll. This was not a normal magic. But he woke up too late. In just one moment, two subordinates had already killed him. He turned around and wanted to run away, but Ash Rufate picked up a dagger from the ground and threw it out. The dagger stumbled into his thighs.

The next battle was a game. His injured leg was half kneeling on the ground, unable to attack or escape. The reason why he lived for a few more minutes was not because he was good at defense, but because Ashu Rufate didn't want to kill him with one sword. Just as a Slaanesian believer would do, facing an opponent who could no longer resist, Ashu Rufate left enough wounds on the assassin. When he got tired of it, he went around behind the assassin and ended his life.

And then—like all such situations—the guard arrives after everything is over.

Ashrufate pulled the dagger back from the corpse and looked at it carefully - Chaos is different from the south. He could not find out the other party's origin from the craft of the weapon alone. He did this just a habit. Then he looked at the guard who had nothing to do, "Take these things," he pointed at the corpse on the ground. "Dispose it for me."

He returned to his tent, and then unexpectedly found that he felt less bored. Killing a few people just now seemed to be a good way to relax - especially the last one. He was able to cut flesh and blood off the person like a sword and a sword, watching the other person's eyes that became dull due to pain and fear, and those dull and useless resistance. This is a condescending and enjoyment of the strong.

He did not ask someone to search for the origin of the assassin - to be honest, there are only a few suspects. It is hard to say whether these assassins are really here to assassinate him or frame someone, or both, but as long as these suspects are useful, they cannot be cleaned up all at once. Ashu Rufate thought that perhaps the next thing to conquer the swamps one by one would be a place to be available. He should take advantage of all available conditions...

Then he suddenly realized that his thoughts were becoming more and more like a true believer in chaos—Tsengchi and Slaanes. But the next moment, he threw this thought away because he was living in chaos now. If he wanted to live and fulfill his plan, he had to follow the local customs, or act in chaos.

But no matter what, if you don’t respond to such an assassination, you may give your subordinates a wrong impression. It has not been a long time since several Chaos champions from Xianfeng City joined his subordinates. They also need a direct and clear impression to understand Ashrufate’s way of acting—the way of acting besides military command.

The next day, Ashu Rufate called a guard.

"Call Oba here," said Asu Ruffat. Oba was one of the subordinates whom Astiana transferred to him, and was the most difficult Chaos champion to control. He was a person who looked muscular and simple-minded. However, he was Tsengchi's Chaos champion, so those with a little brain understood that he just "looked" muscular and simple-minded. According to Astiana, this Oba was the most restless and had the largest number of direct subordinates. "Tell him that I have some topics to talk to him about the way I rule the future swamp area."

Obama followed Ashu Rufate to participate in the previous raid battle to kill the Immortal Lord, and performed well. Ashu Rufate was a little emotional, and he would regret Obama's death.
