On this night, there was no moonlight, only dense clouds and occasional flashes of lightning, heralding the arrival of rain.
Liu Feng stood by the window in his study, gazing into the pitch-black darkness, lost in thought. Behind him stood Nicole, Mina, and Anli.
Mina turned to look at Nicole, her eyes filled with inquiry. The Young Master had been like this for half an hour now, and she was worried that the kind-hearted Young Master might be feeling guilty.
Nicole shook her head silently. She knew many of the Young Master's plans and understood that he wasn't feeling guilty. He was pondering something or perhaps laying out a strategy.
Anli had a lollipop in her mouth, which she had snatched from under Mina's pillow. She tilted her head to look at Nicole, then at Liu Feng's back, sensing that their relationship was not simple.
Time passed slowly, and no one spoke. They were all waiting.
"Bang, bang..."
A knock on the door broke the silence of the study. Upon receiving permission to enter, Noah Ben strode in.
"Clang, clang..."
The sound of armor clashing echoed as Noah Ben put on his knight's armor. Tonight was the first time the City Lord's Mansion would mobilize its troops. Even though he didn't have to personally fight, he had to be prepared for battle.
In this era, knight's armor was mainly chain mail, made of small iron rings linked together.
However, Noah Ben wore a different type of armor, an advanced version of chain mail—a full suit of knight's armor made of thin iron plates formed into cylinders and assembled together.
Only knights from powerful noble families could afford to wear such armor, which was extremely expensive and took a skilled blacksmith half a year to craft.
Its disadvantage was that its protective capability was average. A single slash with a blade could break through its defense, and it wasn't very flexible for movement.
Its advantage was that the knight's armor provided all-around protection and wasn't very heavy, weighing only about 15 kilograms.
But for the martial capabilities of this era, knight's armor was the top-tier equipment, capable of perfectly blocking arrows.
Of course, this was on the condition that they didn't encounter Liu Feng's army, equipped with recurve bows, military crossbows, and special arrows, which would make knights wearing such armor doubt their existence.
In this era, there was no concept of heavy armor. Chain mail and knight armor were considered light armor. However, Liu Feng had already instructed people to produce plate armor, which was based on ancient Earth armors such as Ming Guang armor (brigandine armor), Wu Chui armor (lamellar armor), and infantry armor, and further improved upon.
"Young Master, the Wolf Warriors are ready and can attack at any time," Noah Ben said in a solemn voice.
"What about the whereabouts of those people? Has any information leaked?" Liu Feng's calm voice sounded.
"No, they haven't noticed anything," Noah Ben replied in a deep voice, his eyes flashing with killing intent.
"Then let them make their move. It's time to clean out some of the pests," Liu Feng waved his hand.
"Yes!" Noah Ben saluted and then strode away. He needed to keep an eye on things. Those novices couldn't make any mistakes and disappoint the Young Master. He would kill them if they did.
"Young Master, do you need me to take action?" Mina, influenced by the atmosphere, asked in a low voice.
Liu Feng shook his head and chuckled, "Those are just foot soldiers. They're for the Wolf Warriors to practice on. It would be overestimating them if I let you take action."
"Mmm!" Mina actually didn't want to go either. The Young Master's safety was the most important thing.
............
In the military camp, the Wolf Warriors Special Forces was fully armed and ready. They were now just waiting for the order to attack.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The distant sound of armor clashing put Sinkler and the others on high alert.
Noah Ben came before the eight of them. His sharp eyes scanned over them as he said coldly, "You know what to do for tonight's mission without me saying much. I hope you won't disappoint the Young Master."
The eight remained silent, but the killing intent from their years of hunting inadvertently emanated, representing their determination.
"The intelligence on the targets is here. You have ten minutes to prepare."
Noah Ben handed a file to Sinkler, which contained information on the mission targets and how to handle them. Giving them the intelligence at the last minute was also a test.
Sinkler took the file silently and immediately began to read it. A few of them, who had attended night culture classes for a few days, didn't recognize some of the words and immediately asked Noah Ben for clarification.
Ten minutes quickly passed. Sinkler and the other seven burned the file, once again checked their equipment, and then left the military camp.
Noah Ben carefully took out a watch from his pocket, glanced at the time, and then carefully put it back, gently patting his pocket.
This divine artifact called a watch was given to him by the Young Master. It could accurately tell the time. Even if someone offered him a thousand gold coins, he wouldn't trade it.
His entire life, and even the lives of his family, belonged to the Young Master.
"People! Why are you never satisfied? The Young Master is such a good noble, yet you dare to covet him. You really have too much time on your hands."
Noah Ben looked into the pitch-black night and waved his hand. Several figures silently disappeared into the darkness.
Double insurance was something he had learned from the Young Master. If the Wolf Warriors Special Forces failed, this group of people will be the ultimate killer.
