Chapter 684 – Assassination Plan

Sir Powan nodded his head and changed the topic. "What about your progress? How close are you to the Primordial Rank?" When Sir Powan brought this up, a smile formed on Julius's face. "I am halfway to Primordial Rank. The war against the Lionax Kingdom brings me closer to Primordial."

"I have an unrealistic idea to speed up your progress. Do you want to try it?" Sir Powan suddenly smiled as his eyes gleamed. "The fastest way for us to level up is to kill the people in the same rank. This is the reason why we agree to help you to fight the Lionax Kingdom. What about if we assassinate the King of the Lionax Kingdom?"

It was a surprise that this crazy idea came from Sir Powan. Julius did not expect this side of Sir Powan, and he had known this man for like five years. Sir Powan was known for his calm composure in every situation, but not this time. The King of the Lionax Kingdom must be guarded tightly, especially, they were in the war. There was no way they could assassinate the King.

"I don't think we can do that, Sir Powan. King Emerson should be guarded tightly, and it's almost impossible to assassinate him." Julius shook his head. It was a lie if he was not tempted by the plan, but he had to be realistic.

"What if we purposely spread the information about Braum City? We told them that your Master has come out from the forest for revenge?" Sir Powan smiled. "You told me that your Master has a deep grudge against the Lionax Kingdom? So what will the Lionax Kingdom do when they hear this?"

"First, they will tighten their frontline. The Lionax Kingdom will try to starve us because we lose Braum City. Second, they will try to split their force to face your Master. They do not want to get sandwiched by two hostile forces for sure. If that happens, the guard around King Emerson will be loosened. There's even a chance that King Emerson will lead an army, and that's our chance!" A crazed gleam flashed in Sir Powan's eyes.

"That…" Julius could not refute that as it was indeed a golden chance for him. Him, reaching the Primordial Rank was another variable for the Revolution Army to win the war against the Lionax Kingdom.

"Of course, we will only make our move if those conditions are fulfilled. If they don't get the bait, we have no choice but to wait for the reinforcement." The crazed gleam in his eyes disappeared, and Sir Rowan smiled calmly.

Julius' eyes shone, and Sir Powan convinced him to assassinate King Emerson. "Let's wait until my men return from Braum. If it's really My Master, then we will do that, Sir Powan."

Sir Powan shook his head and waved his hand at Julius. "Unless you send Epic Ranks, don't expect them to return alive. You are just throwing away your men's lives, Sir Julius."

Tang Shaoyang found a new toy to play with, the Skeleton. He wanted to try many things with the skeleton, so he decided to fly around, looking for prey to level up his skeleton.

After an hour of searching, he found a group of people heading toward Braum City. They came from the west side, Astium City, and it was another city under the Revolution Army's control.

"Those people wear all black. They must be the people sent by the Revolution Army to investigate Braum." Tang Shaoyang muttered as a smile formed on his lips. "Good prey for my skeleton."

He dove from the sky and landed right in front of the group. The group comprised seven people and had their faces covered with black clothes.

Boom!

Tang Shaoyang welcomed them with a grand entrance. The dust rose, covering his figure from the group. He then came out of the dust and waved his hand at the group. "Yello, who are you, sirs?"

The seven people immediately drew their swords and got into a fighting stance. The seven people were exchanging glances, but all of them shook their heads afterward. They tried to identify Tang Shaoyang, but none of them knew the man in front of them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The seven people immediately spread out and surrounded Tang Shaoyang. They did not waste their time and tried to end the fight as soon as possible. However, by the time they surrounded Tang Shaoyang, the latter had split into eight figures, creating confusion between the seven people.

Arghhhh!!

In the next second, they heard a scream. The six people looked at the cry and found their friend to be limbless already. He was crying as he lost all his limbs. The bizarre thing was they did not see who did that to their friend.

Arghhhh!!!

Another scream echoed through the air, and their subconscious action was to look in the direction of the scream. Their second comrade had fallen too, in the same fashion by losing all four limbs.

Arghhhh!!!

By the third scream, the other four did not look in the scream direction anymore. The four people turned around and ran for their lives. Another scream resounded, but the remaining three kept running in different directions.

The three thought one could escape from this man and reported the situation to the main camp. However, none of them made it as the three consecutive screams one after another.

Tang Shaoyang dragged seven people into one spot. Even though they suffered blood loss, none of them were dying. This was the wonder of the attributes. As long as they had high Vitality, they would not die from mere blood loss.

"Who are you!?" One of the men questioned Tang Shaoyang while enduring the pain. Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at the man. "It should be my question, and do you know that you are not in the position to question me?"

It was funny enough that the man refuted him with an absurd claim. "Do you know who we are? We are the scout team from the Revolution Army! The Revolution Army will not forgive you for doing this to us!"

Tang Shaoyang grinned as he squatted down and held the man by the cheek. "Oh no, what should I do? I wiped out the Ambrose Family a few weeks ago, and now I take down the Revolution Army's scout team? Should I hide and spare your lives? Was that the response you expected?"

The man's eyes bulged out in shock. He knew about the Ambrose Family that suddenly lost contact with the Revolution Army. The other scout teams were sent to look for the Ambrose Family, but they gained nothing. What they knew was that the Ambrose Family's force was last seen near Biaska Town.

Tang Shaoyang shook away the man and stood up again. He then summoned the Skeleton, and it immediately looked toward the limbless people on the ground as soon as it appeared. However, the Skeleton did not attack the wounded immediately as it looked toward Tang Shaoyang as if the Skeleton was asking for his permission.

"Go ahead, and you can kill this guy first." Tang Shaoyang pointed at the man who talked with him.

The Skeleton immediately made its move as soon as it received permission from its Master. He lunged over and started to bash the man's head. However, the skeleton's hand cracked after hitting the man's head.

The man's level was a lot higher than the Skeleton, meaning higher in attributes as well. It paused for a moment before looking around. The Skeleton found what it was looking for and dragged the man with him.

Tang Shaoyang wanted to lend a sword or spear to the skeleton, but he was curious what the Skeleton wanted to do. He wanted to test out if the Skeleton was smart enough to find a solution. Asking a weapon from him was a smart choice, but the Skeleton had its own way of killing the man.

The Skeleton dragged the man toward a boulder, and there, it grasped the man's head and started to bang the man's head against the boulder. It was also smart enough to aim the head toward the pointy side of the boulder.

ARGHHHHHH!!!

The man screamed on top of his lung, but the Skeleton just showed him no mercy by banging the head non-stop. It lasted for two minutes before the man finally died. After killing the man, the Skeleton turned around and looked at him before glancing at the remaining six people.

Clack! Clack! Clack! Clack!

The Skeleton was grinning, asking for more prey from its Master.
