Chapter 1393: Night Infiltration

When the sky turned completely dark, searchlights shone from within the Shengli Gate Fortress, sweeping across the Greya Alliance positions.

Although the searchlight bulbs were often shot out, the Sun Kingdom side would immediately replace them with new high-power bulbs to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the fortress under the cover of night.

"Sir, is it really okay? I always feel a chill down my back."

A female voice came from a dirt pit 300 meters below the fortress.

"Shut up."

The dirt pit fell silent.

"Don't paint here too, it's so shameful..."

"..."

"Sir, you are using the mission as an excuse to harass a female subordinate. You'll be court-martialed. Woo~ I was wrong."

In the pitch-black dirt pit, the assistant, covered in mud with exceptionally bright eyes, stuck her head out and looked around.

"No enemies found. Sir, sir?"

The assistant tilted her head to look, but Su Xiao was nowhere to be found.

In a shell crater a dozen meters away from the assistant, Su Xiao held an enemy's neck and covered their mouth and nose with his hand. Between his legs was another corpse whose neck had already been broken.

"Woo~"

Crack!

After a crisp sound, the enemy Su Xiao was holding stopped struggling.

A black shadow pounced over. This black shadow held a dagger and stabbed the enemy between Su Xiao's legs repeatedly. A few stabs almost hit Su Xiao's legs.

Su Xiao kicked the assistant in the side of the waist. The assistant let out a choked sound, which was extremely similar to the sound Su Xiao made when kicking Ignoring Bubu Wang.

The assistant looked at Su Xiao with a bitter face.

"Already dead."

"Uh~ is that so."

The assistant grabbed the collar of the corpse and shook it. The enemy was indeed cold.

Not to mention the assistant's behavior of mistakenly stabbing the enemy corpse, her ferocity alone was something most women didn't possess.

Su Xiao took out night-vision goggles and tossed them to the assistant. The assistant put them on with a look of confusion. As if discovering a new world, she reached out and grabbed forward.

The night-vision goggles Su Xiao provided were naturally not of ordinary technological level. At this moment, in the assistant's field of vision, besides the world being all green, things in her sight actually had colors, although the colors were very faint.

The assistant looked at Su Xiao.

"Sir, you are green."

The assistant smiled cheekily and was almost kicked by Su Xiao again. When kicked, the assistant didn't feel angry because she could perceive some things from Su Xiao's actions. For example, in Su Xiao's cognition, she was not a weak woman, but a soldier. Soldiers on the battlefield had no distinction between men and women.

Su Xiao pointed to two shell craters ahead. Two enemies were ambushing there. These Sun Kingdom soldiers were guarding against enemies sneaking into the fortress at night.

After the sky turned completely dark, the battlefield became deathly silent. Only occasional gunshots could be heard. These were some unscrupulous recruits intimidating the enemy, which had little actual effect. Those veterans weren't afraid of these scattered gunshots at all, but if they heard the whistle of a shell, they would be startled from their sleep.

The assistant looked at the two shell craters Su Xiao pointed to. She understood Su Xiao's meaning. There were five people in one shell crater and two in the other.

Su Xiao cleared the crater with five people, while the assistant was responsible for the other two.

The assistant crawled on the ground, slowly crawling toward the crater with two people.

The searchlight swept over, and the assistant stopped immediately. She tilted her head to look at Su Xiao, but Su Xiao had disappeared again.

After a slight muffled groan, Su Xiao broke the throat of an enemy soldier. He pulled his left arm, and the blood-stained Jie Duan Xian tightened. The smooth wire flicked away the blood and was finally retracted into the wire wheel.

Under the cover of night, Su Xiao looked at another crater not far away.

"Woo..."

A whimpering sound came from the neighboring crater. The assistant had her legs wrapped around a soldier's neck. She covered the soldier's mouth and nose with one hand, her entire body riding on the other's shoulders.

The dagger flipped in the assistant's hand. Her arm swung down, and the sharp dagger pierced into the enemy's crown.

The enemy's corpse went limp, but the assistant still covered the enemy's mouth and nose tightly, which caused her to bump her head into the soft mud.

Behind the assistant was a soldier whose throat had been cut more than halfway through. The smell of blood permeated the air.

The assistant shook the mud off her head and looked toward Su Xiao's side. She felt that her speed in solving the enemies was fast, and perhaps she could support Su Xiao.

When the assistant crawled into the shell crater where Su Xiao was, her brows furrowed because she didn't smell blood. But when she saw the five corpses neatly arranged together, without even obvious wounds on their bodies, her self-esteem was somewhat hurt. She had come to support...

"Well done."

Su Xiao buttoned his clothes. He had already changed into a Sun Kingdom military uniform.

"10 seconds."

Su Xiao tossed a Sun Kingdom military uniform to the assistant. The assistant sighed. A rustling sound came from the darkness. A moment later, the assistant, wearing a steel helmet and enemy military uniform, was dressed neatly.

"Dagger."

Su Xiao looked at the assistant's weapon. This time, the assistant was conflicted. This dagger had some special significance.

"Damn it."

The assistant stabbed the dagger into the mud and grabbed a standard dagger from the enemy soldier.

"Sir, it's a deal."

"...?"

Su Xiao was slightly confused.

"If this mission is successful, give me a special Wenluo steel dagger. You just said so."

The assistant set a flag that could be considered fatal.

"Is that so? I know a cemetery with nice scenery."

"Ha, I was just joking. This dagger is quite good, excellent quality, the notch... the notch is very neat~"

Su Xiao and the assistant had to sneak forward. At this moment, the two were about 100 meters away from the enemy trench.

The most difficult hurdle in infiltrating the enemy fortress was an area 50 meters in front of the enemy trench. This area was illuminated by hundreds of searchlights, with no dead angles at all. Once entering here, they would enter the enemy's line of sight. Heaven knows how many snipers were staring at this place.

This area was at least 20 meters wide. It was impossible for Su Xiao to rush through by relying on speed. The dynamic vision of those snipers was amazing. They didn't need to see Su Xiao; as long as they felt suspicious, those snipers would sound the alarm, followed by artillery bombardment.

Once, a rabbit that crawled out of a hole ran across this area and was blown into pieces by shells. It took several minutes for the artillery and heavy machine-gun fire to stop.

"Sir, what should we do?"

The assistant looked at the illuminated area a dozen meters away. This place was like an isolation zone.

"Wait."

Su Xiao took out a timer. He was 3 minutes ahead of the scheduled time.

3 minutes passed quickly. In their own trench, a man with large-scale burns on his face stuck his head out of the trench.

"That ghost actually has a request for me. It's really satisfying."

The man sneered and raised his gun to aim.

Bang!

The gunshot pierced the night sky. A bullet hit the lightning rod on the top of the Shengli Gate Fortress. The bullet began to ricochet and finally hit a light bulb behind the fortress.

A piece of the light zone went out. At the same time, a figure flashed through the darkness. This figure seemed to be carrying something in its hand. ===== CHAPTER 1394 =====
