Chapter 342

These soldiers were all holding baskets, and different wild fruits were placed in each basket.

"Put the wild fruits here; I will send them in later." The guard said.

"This..." The centurion hesitated and then said: "It's not that I don't trust you, but delivering wild fruits is my task; if there is a mistake, I will be beheaded!"

"Then you wait outside." The guard said.

The centurion showed a difficult expression and then looked toward the direction of the tent.

"You can't stand here, move back quickly!" The guard shouted in a low voice.

"Alright."

The centurion moved back helplessly.

After retreating to the side of those few soldiers, the centurion continued to move back with these soldiers.

After waiting for a good while, the guard outside the tent walked over.

"Bring the wild fruits over; after the lord has seen them, you can go." The guard said.

"Then I'll trouble you." The centurion said hurriedly.

Letting the soldiers hand the baskets to the guards, the centurion waited patiently.

After a while, the guard walked out of the tent and told the centurion that the lord had received them and they could go.

The centurion then left with several soldiers.

After walking a long way, one of the soldiers whispered: "Lord Wei is so busy, yet he still personally inspects the wild fruits; he is really careful!"

"The guards won't let us in; are they doing something important?" Another person said.

"Could it be related to the kites that appeared during this period?" Someone said.

"Don't discuss the lord, be careful of bringing trouble upon yourselves!" The centurion shouted in a low voice.

Hearing this, the crowd closed their mouths and said nothing.

Not long after returning to their residence, the centurion walked out again.

After looking around and finding no one paying attention to him, he walked toward a small bush, looking as if he were going to relieve himself.

After entering the bush, he immediately lowered his body and walked forward.

He walked very carefully, fearing being discovered.

When delivering wild fruits earlier, he was relatively close to the main tent, and because his hearing was particularly sensitive, he could hear when the people in the tent spoke loudly.

Although he didn't hear much, he heard the most important part.

Lord Wei and the others were going to seize the power of the generals!

This must include the centurion's former superior!

The centurion was Wang Lun's subordinate not long ago, and because he was good at finding wild fruits, he was transferred to the headquarters.

As a low-level officer, originally serving anyone was about the same.

But when both sides had a conflict, he had to choose which side to stand on.

Now, he chose to stand on the side of his old superior Wang Lun.

On one hand, Wang Lun treated these low-level officers well, and on the other hand, he also felt that the doomsday of Wei Pao and the others was coming soon.

Carefully traveling through the jungle, just as he was about to leave the sphere of influence of the headquarters, he saw two soldiers jump out from behind a large rock in front.

"Stop!" One of the soldiers shouted.

"Are you blind? Don't you recognize this uniform?" The centurion cursed.

"You are in charge of logistics at the headquarters, why appear here?" A soldier asked.

"Ha, is that any of your business?" The centurion laughed: "You don't salute when you see an officer, but instead ask about my whereabouts; are you tired of living?"

"We are Special Guards, only accepting orders from the Special Guard officer. As for people outside the Special Guard, no matter the rank, we have the right to ask!" A soldier said.

The centurion frowned; he only then discovered that these two people's clothes were a little different from ordinary soldiers.

He hadn't looked carefully before, so he hadn't noticed; now that the other party reminded him, he saw it clearly.

Thinking that the opposite side was the Special Guard, the centurion became nervous.

The Special Guard was a troop directly under Wei Pao, with immense power.

And all the Special Guards were stronger than ordinary soldiers.

"Even the Special Guard has ranks; you are just the lowest-level ordinary special agents, not higher than me, a centurion, right?"

"As for what you said about having the right to ask regardless of rank, I express serious doubt!"

"First, I haven't received such an order, and second, I don't believe you would dare to say this when you see a chiliarch or even a general!"

The centurion said loudly.

"Saying more is useless; if you have doubts about our power, then come with us and ask our captain!" A Special Guard shouted.

The centurion was anxious in his heart.

He had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

These Special Guards usually didn't check passing personnel.

They were doing this now, definitely related to Wei Pao and the others wanting to seize the power of generals at all levels.

"Where is your captain?" The centurion frowned: "If he is nearby, I will go, otherwise I will finish my business first and then go."

"What business do you have?" A Special Guard asked.

"Can't say, this is discipline!" The centurion said.

"Then tell our captain." The Special Guard on the left said.

".Our captain is nearby, you come with us." The other Special Guard said.

"It seems I have to go." The centurion sighed: "But I want to warn you first; after seeing your captain, I must ask clearly, because you delayed my mission, who will pay for this responsibility!"

He intentionally made a fierce-looking appearance, wanting the other party to believe he was going to see the captain.

He walked forward a few steps and followed behind one of the Special Guards.

The other Special Guard followed behind him.

The two Special Guards sandwiched him, each two or three meters apart.

After walking for a while, the centurion felt the opportunity had come.

There was a vine on the ground in front of him, and the Special Guard in front stepped over it directly.

And when he reached the vine, he intentionally tripped over it.

This body lost its balance and lunged forward.

The Special Guard behind him saw it and thought he hadn't paid attention to his feet and tripped.

But when the centurion's body tilted forward, he took out a short knife from his bosom and stabbed it toward the Special Guard in front.

This move was fast and accurate, and the short knife stabbed into the Special Guard's back.

With a pfft, the blade went in completely, and blood splashed out.

Only then did the Special Guard walking behind discover that the situation was wrong, and then drew his sword to prepare for battle.

But at this time, the centurion had already dealt with the Special Guard in front and took the sword from the Special Guard's waist.

"You really have a problem!" The Special Guard roared and rushed over.

The centurion dodged, and took the sword to counterattack.

The Special Guard's martial arts were much stronger than ordinary soldiers, but the centurion's martial arts were not weak either.

Before becoming a soldier, the centurion was a hunter, accumulating a lot of combat experience through battles with wild beasts.

After a dozen moves, the centurion found a flaw in the opponent and slashed over with a sword.

The Special Guard couldn't dodge in time and could only raise his sword to block.

But the centurion's sword was just a feint; after touching the opponent's sword, he took advantage of the momentum to bounce up and stab toward the opponent's eye.

195. The Power Seizure Operation

Pfft...

The sword tip entered the special guard's left eye.

The special guard let out a miserable shriek, his sword frantically slashing toward the Centurion.

The Centurion stepped back to dodge the sword, then swung his own sword to attack again.

Having lost an eye, the special guard’s judgment of spatial positioning was far worse than when he had both eyes, making it very difficult to accurately determine the position of the Centurion’s longsword.

After a few exchanges, the special guard was struck in the chest by a sword.

With this blow, he no longer had the strength to resist, and he couldn't even hold onto the sword in his hand.

His body swayed for a moment before he collapsed to the ground.
