Chapter 208
Three days later, Jibei Fortress, inside a stone house.
Outside, wind and snow filled the sky, but inside the stone house, it was as warm as spring. From the window, one could see a female general saying something, and behind the female general was a map.
"The eastern front and southern front must attack at the same time. Kaili, Hadi, these two places are left to you."
Esdeath was laying out tomorrow's strategy, and her wounds had roughly recovered.
"Yes."
The two leaders took the order, their faces full of confidence.
"Tomorrow, use 'Dongdongta Fortress' as the main attack point. At that time, I will lead people to attack the main gate. Bai Ye, you sneak into the enemy fortress tonight and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Numa Seka."
Su Xiao nodded, and Esdeath continued to lay out the strategy.
Su Xiao pondered inwardly. This war would not last long. Esdeath's Imperial Arm 'Demon's Extract' was very strong in war; the army was just cover, and the main force was Esdeath alone.
After this battle ended, Esdeath would definitely return to the Imperial Capital. As Esdeath's adjutant now, he had an eighty percent or higher chance of returning together.
There was more than one adjutant in the army, and he hadn't shown any commanding ability, so it was unlikely Esdeath would keep him in the army.
Ending the war as soon as possible and returning to the Imperial Capital was the real business. With the intrusion of contractors, the Imperial Capital should be a mess now.
The combat meeting ended quickly, and Su Xiao was left behind by Esdeath alone.
"This is Numa Seka's information. This person is not easy to deal with. He doesn't like women, his living habits are simple, but he has one weakness: he likes to drink."
There were no men in the Jibei who didn't like to drink; this was caused by the cold climate.
"Generally, he only drinks after ten o'clock at night, but the difficulty of a night raid is not low. You act according to the situation."
"Can do."
Esdeath's meaning was very clear: find a way to finish off Numa Seka.
Thump, a leather bag was thrown onto the conference table.
"Inside this are a map, cold-resistant clothing, high-calorie food, some small tools needed for infiltration, and two signal flares. Red represents failure and the need for rescue, green represents success but being trapped in the enemy camp."
Esdeath's arrangements were very thoughtful. Su Xiao was now one of her own, so Esdeath's S-type personality had disappeared.
"Hmm."
Su Xiao just nodded.
"Really cold. Go quickly and return quickly. Remember, you are now a member of the dark department in the army, not a death squad member."
"Good."
Su Xiao took out the winter clothes from the leather bag and put them on. The winter clothes fit well and should be made of the fur of some danger beast, with excellent cold resistance, not looking bulky and convenient for movement.
"Go quickly and return quickly."
Esdeath was very caring toward her subordinates.
"Hmm."
Su Xiao left the conference room. After he left, Esdeath found a signal flare on the conference table, the red signal flare representing mission failure.
"Only success is allowed, no failure? I really picked up a treasure this time. Extremely strong strength, cold personality, not caring about anything other than orders. Which country exactly trained such an excellent talent?"
Esdeath sat in front of the conference table, supporting her chin with one hand, and playing with the red signal flare with the other.
"Take him back to the Imperial Capital after the war ends. This kind of person is not suitable for the army."
Dong.
Esdeath stood the red signal flare upright on the table. If someone were to take the signal flare apart, they would find that this signal flare was empty!
A dark department mission failure meant death, how could there be rescue?
In the whistling wind and snow, Su Xiao held a map and walked in the snow.
At this time, there was no one else nearby. Su Xiao moved his somewhat stiff cheeks; pretending to be paralyzed was not easy, he felt he wouldn't even know how to smile anymore.
"Damn dark department."
Su Xiao cursed in a low voice. This three-day 'high-intensity' acting cool was physically and mentally exhausting. Next time, he would definitely not disguise himself as a dark department member.
"Numa Seka of 'Dongdongta Fortress', huh."
Looking closely at a portrait in his hand, the portrait was of a young man.
On the low city wall of Dongdongta Fortress.
"Have you heard? They've mobilized military force again over there, this time as many as fifty thousand."
The Jibei Army soldiers standing guard on the city wall said, their expressions somewhat worried.
"Pfft, it's useless no matter how many come. What could they do even when two hundred thousand came before?"
"Coming here is just feeding the wolves. Those imperial scumbags all deserve to die."
A burst of sneers came; the Jibei Army seemed to have great disdain for the Imperial Army.
"Time is almost up, why haven't the replacements come yet?"
A soldier began to get impatient.
"Who says it isn't? Recently, those guys from the 'Kalibat Tribe' have become more and more arrogant. After a few victories, their tails are almost pointing to the sky."
"I'll go urge them."
"I'll go too."
Several soldiers left one after another. An older soldier shook his head; he didn't want to offend anyone.
"Young people... Hmph!"
With a muffled grunt, the older soldier fell softly. Su Xiao flipped onto the city wall, threw the older soldier into a snow pile outside the city wall, and he disappeared into this fortress town.
Night shrouded, the wild wind of the Jibei stopped rarely, but the falling snowflakes did not stop.
There was no electricity in the fortress town, and every household rested very early after finishing their procreation activities. The town was exceptionally quiet.
Su Xiao walked through the buildings, trying his best to find remote locations.
"Twenty-third from the left, seventy-third from the right."
Su Xiao was confirming where Numa Seka lived, and he quickly locked onto a stone house.
The stone house was not tall, but compared to other buildings in the fortress town, the stone house could at least block the bone-piercing cold wind.
There were no guards in front of the door. Numa Seka himself was the strongest combat power in the Jibei; he didn't need guards.
Su Xiao approached the stone house softly, sensing the situation inside the house. A young man was drinking alone in the room; the man in the room was precisely Numa Seka.
"Masha, I will avenge you, very soon."
Numa Seka in the room was clearly drinking his sorrows away. From his expression, these strong spirits didn't count for much to him.
Su Xiao waited outside the house. The timing was not good now, and he didn't plan to assassinate with brute force. If he alerted too many people, he might be left here today.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was around one o'clock in the morning. The temperature outside the Jibei houses was even colder.
Numa Seka had already gone to sleep. After Su Xiao retracted his aura, even super danger beasts couldn't discover him, let alone Numa Seka.
Walking slowly to the door, Su Xiao had an extra test tube in his hand, the test tube filled with a grayish-white liquid.
Pouring the liquid into the gap under the door, the liquid vaporized rapidly, and a kind of odorless smoke drifted away.
Su Xiao took out a gas mask and put it on his face; he wouldn't feel good after inhaling this thing either.
Waiting at the door for ten minutes, Su Xiao pushed the door and walked into the stone house.
A heat wave rushed toward him. Numa Seka, this alien prince, was lying flat on the bed, his body trembling slightly.
"How could this be?"
At this time, this alien prince couldn't even speak clearly, and wanting to get up to fight was even more of a delusion.
"Nothing is impossible."
Holding Zhan Long Shan horizontally against Numa Seka's neck, the blade cut down.
Puchi.
A head was cut off, and this alien prince, who was famous in the Jibei, was killed so easily.
