"No.7, No.8, you two take up advantageous positions immediately. Your primary task is to eliminate the four people at the entrance, and then you may freely use your bows to provide supporting shots," Sinkler whispered as he began to issue commands.
"Understood!"
Immediately, two people stepped forward. No.7 and No.8 were the best long-distance archers, second only to Sinkler. Each of them carried a recurve bow and a quiver of arrows. Under the disguise of their black night clothes, relying on instincts honed from years of hunting, they silently climbed up a tree in the yard.
In the entire Wolf Warriors Special Forces team, no one was allowed to use their real names during missions; they had to use numbers instead.
Sinkler soon heard the croak of a frog, understanding that both were ready. He then continued to assign tasks.
"No.5, No.6, you two sneak in and cooperate with No.7 and No.8 to eliminate the four people at the entrance."
"Understood."
No.5 and No.6 stepped forward, quietly drawing their military knives from their thighs and biting them with their teeth. Then, they cautiously climbed over the wall and crept towards the guards at the entrance.
"The rest of you, follow me and rush in later. Leave no survivors except for the target," Sinkler said coldly, then drew his broadsword from his back.
"Understood!"
No.2 also drew his broadsword, but he also took out a circular shield as big as a water jar, made of refined steel. He was the defender in this team.
No.3 and No.4 each took out two small military crossbows from their backs, one in each hand, and a military knife in their mouths.
Sinkler tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, his eyes fixed on No.5 and No.6. His heart tightened as he watched them sneak behind two of the guards.
No.5 and No.6, one hand gripping their military knives, suddenly stretched out their other hands to cover the guards' mouths. The military knives instantly pierced through the guards' hearts from behind, with a forceful twist.
Before the other two guards could react...
"Swish! Swish!"
Two long arrows flew out from the tree, piercing the necks of the two guards and killing them instantly.
No.5 and No.6 quickly caught the falling bodies, gently placed them on the ground, and then signaled to Sinkler's position.
"Action!"
Sinkler whispered, and he was the first to dart out, quickly entering the yard and meeting up with No.5 and No.6. Then, the six of them sneaked further into the yard.
They had only taken a dozen steps forward when they saw eight guards chatting. Sinkler gave a signal, and the group immediately dispersed.
"They're gathering again, leaving us here in the cold without even giving us some hot soup," one guard said.
"Yeah, they earn so much money, but they don't give us more pay. They always ask me to help them beat people up," another complained.
"Ugh, those money-grubbing merchants. I've killed several people for them, and they only give me a few copper coins each time," a third guard said.
"I heard we have to kill that noble... ugh..."
The voice suddenly stopped as a short arrow pierced the guard's neck.
"Wh... ugh..."
"Swish... swish..."
Before the other guards could react, three of them were hit in the neck by arrows shot by No.3 and No.4's military crossbows.
At close range, the two quickly fired four crossbow arrows, killing four guards. The remaining four guards were throat-slit by Sinkler, No.5, and No.6, who had already sneaked up close.
Sinkler shook off the blood on his broadsword. He had just killed two people in an instant, one with his head chopped off and the other with his throat slit.
The whole process took only two seconds. Sinkler led his teammates to continue forward, silently assassinating the guards in the yard.
"Who's there?"
"Swish!"
Suddenly, a frightened shout sounded, and then a long arrow flew out from the tree, killing the guard who had spoken.
"We've been exposed. Let's attack forcefully," Sinkler shouted coldly, waving his hand. His broadsword led the charge.
They didn't expect that a lazy guard was hiding in the grass, and they had accidentally exposed themselves.
In fact, it was thanks to the carrots brought by Liu Feng that they were able to avoid exposure until now. They had cured Sinkler and his team's night blindness.
In this era, more than 90% of people had night blindness, including the guards. Sinkler and his team did not have night blindness, which gave them an advantage and allowed them to easily assassinate many guards.
Immediately, more than ten guards rushed out from the inner yard. Sinkler knew that these were the last of the guards. As long as they killed them all, only the target would remain.
Without Sinkler needing to say anything, two long arrows flew from a distance, easily killing two guards.
"Kill!" Sinkler rushed into the guards, his broadsword flashing, immediately creating a string of blood droplets.
"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Four short crossbow arrows flew out. Before the guards fell, No.3 and No.4 stuffed their small military crossbows behind their backs, gripped the military knives in their mouths, and threw them with a flick of their wrists. Their flying knife techniques also killed two guards.
"Swish! Swish!"
Just as No.5 and No.6 switched their military knives to broadswords, the battle ended. More than ten guards were dead, most of them killed by military crossbow arrows and long arrows.
"Really, are they too weak?" No.2 shook off the blood on his broadsword with a hint of reluctance. He had only killed two people all night.
"Shut up. The target is inside," Sinkler said in a low voice, shaking off the blood on his broadsword.
"Okay!"
No.2 held up his shield and led the way, entering the inner yard first. Sinkler followed closely behind. No.3 and No.4 had already loaded their small crossbows, and No.5 and No.6 held their broadswords, guarding the two of them.
No.7 and No.8 also came down from the tree, their eyes alertly scanning the surroundings. They were the final fire support.
These were all tactics they had learned in the military, known as special tactical advancement methods.
