Chapter 1164

(Unedited)

…

As the mists began to spread, the soldiers from the Glysko kingdom became wary of the situation. But after seeing that the enemy is not doing anything and might have left the area, they all became relaxed. Well, who would think that a single person would be stupid enough to fight against more than ten thousand soldiers?

Although their commander is not in the town right now and has returned to the forward command base, their number alone is enough to deter any forces from the Jimal kingdom.

And so time has passed and it has already been an hour since then. The mist has already thickened and has almost reached the walls of the town.

"What is this mist? Why does it feel ominous?" said one of the soldiers while looking at the mist in front of him.

"You're just being paranoid… What could a mist do to us? Hahaha…"

"I am not afraid of the mist… I'm more afraid of what is inside of the mist…"

"Ohh… Scary… Hahaha…"

The rest of the soldiers began chuckling while they observe the mist which is now slowly coming closer. At this time, a strong gust of wind suddenly appears. Feeling the wind blowing the soldiers look at the horizon and close their eyes.

It has been a little hot these days and the fighting has already taken a toll on their minds. When they ransacked and destroyed this town, they became drunk in the fierceness of war that they abused the women and even children in the town.

And on their defeat in the hands of the enemy in the next town, they became fiercer and almost killed half of the total remaining kingdom of Jimal's citizens in the town.

And now, the town is filled with dead bodies crying and weeping all over the place.

Many soldiers have not stopped their atrocities and the officers did not bother with them.

But the current situation where an enemy appears made them high on their toes. They did not know if the enemy is now planning to attack them.

Hence the soldiers are ready for battle.

The wind picks up and it made them feel cool. This is the normal wind they would feel every now and then coming from the north. Almost all of the soldiers from the Glysko kingdom who are on the wall close their eyes as they savor the cool feeling coming from the blowing wind. It was as if it also blew away their anxiety and sins.

Along with the wind comes the mist as it blew towards the town. It did not take long before the entire town is now covered in mist which has slowly penetrated every nook and corner of the town.

"Yawwwnnn… This is making me sleepy… my body feels relaxed…" a soldier commented as a smile crept onto his face.

His eyelid became a bit heavy and a satisfied smile could be seen on his face.

The same thing is happening all over the town. Where everyone is feeling sleepy and it made them feel relaxed and comfortable.

No one knew that they are already being drugged as their wariness faded away into their sleep.

…

"What is happening? I can't see anything because of this mist…" said a scout from the Jimal kingdom.

"Damn it… What did that kid do? What, is he planning?" said the leader of the squad.

"Sir… should we try to enter? I mean… the mist can cover our tracks…"

"Hmm… You and you… Go and scout. Quickly escape if you are discovered…" the leader said while pointing at two people.

The two nodded and jumps down from the tree where they are hiding.

They soon began to run really fast as they approach the mist. The two stopped just outside and slowly walks towards the mist.

They were able to take a few steps inside and stopped as they could not see what is in front of them. Their speed is a bit slow so their companions can still see their silhouettes.

Suddenly, the scouts noticed their two companions walking sluggishly while turning around and wanting to return. But before they could exit the mist, they suddenly fall to the ground unconscious.

"What? What is happening now? Why did they fall? Are they dead?" one of the scouts asked while observing the situation.

"Go and check… but do not enter the mist… I have a bad feeling about this…" the leader said.

But before they could move, they noticed a figure walking towards the two fallen soldiers.

That person is wearing a weird thing on his face as he walks towards them.

"That… that's Xin Ja, right? He is that kid…" said a soldier who knows and has seen Xin Ja before.

"What is he going to do?"

Everyone is now worried, but they did not reveal themselves and just prepare to attack if ever they see him attacking their comrades.

Then they saw the kid grabbing the collar of the two soldiers and dragging them out of the mist.

Then they saw the kid looking in their direction. The kid seems to have taken out several weird objects that look like the same thing that he is wearing.

They then saw the kid entering deeper into the mist towards the town.

"What does he mean by that leader?" a scout asked while looking at his leader.

The rest of the squad members also look at the guy who squinted his eyes as he did not know how to answer them.

"Let's go and check things out…" the leader said as he jumps down and then check the two unconscious fellows.

As they approach, they soon noticed the two slowly becoming conscious.

It took them a whole two minutes before they became fully awake.

"Ugh… Leader, do not enter the mist… it… it would cause you to fall asleep." said one of the scouts who have fully woken up.

"So this is his plan…" the leader said as if he could already tell what is about to happen in the town.

"Bring this to the base… ask the relative masters to craft as many as they can…" he commanded another one of his subordinates.

There are ten people in his scouting squad, and he has already sent one to report to the town and now he is going to send another one back with another message.

"For the rest of us, we will wear this and try to scout the town… if we could we should help out a bit…" the leader said as if determination filled his eyes.

The remaining eight of them wore the mask that Xin Ja has provided them. The mask is not that complicated to wear. One has to just put it over one's head to cover their face. They have seen how Xin Ja looks like while wearing the mask, so they just imagined how it is worn.

As they breathe, they feel a bit weird because of the noise the mask is making.

The mask is a combination of a filtration rune and a regular mask that is able to cover one's whole face. It is a crude replica of the gas mask that Xin Ja has seen in the records of his unique vision, but it is already enough to be used in this situation.

As the group wore the mask, they all began to enter the mist cautiously. They soon were able to reach the town's wall and noticed an entry point.

"Sir… the town… and the enemy soldiers…" a scout soldier said as he noticed something.

"Someone has killed them in their sleep…" the leader said with a frown.

He knew that this is what that kid has done. They too wanted to do such a thing to their enemy as they too witnessed the suffering of their people.

"Sir…"

"Alright… kill these bastards! But… we should do this quietly… I do not know what is happening, but this is our chance to avenge our people…" the leader said with a glint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

The eight of them immediately began working… one slice one kill.

No one wanted to look back as they knew that today they are going to take the many lives of their enemy.

Atop the wall of the town, a figure watches the group enter and just nodded his head at their action.

"Sigh… These people deserve a more cruel death than what they deserve… But… if I do that, it would cause me nightmares… I think this is for the best…" Xin Ja muttered as he continue with executing the unconscious enemies around him.

30 minutes later…

Xin Ja stopped as he and a tall man saw each other in front of a large building which us the main base of the enemy camp.

The tall man nodded his head at Xin Ja.

"Ba careful… I think the mist has not penetrated this building yet…" Xin Ja said to the soldier.

It did not take long before the rest of the scouts appear behind the man.

"Are… are you Xin Ja?" asked one of the scouts to confirm.

"Yes… Why? Are you going to capture me?" Xin Ja asked.

"Umm… No, but I advise you to return to the stronghold. The command to capture you have been lifted. But going back to the stronghold is the safest route for you." said the soldier.

The tall man nodded to confirm what his companion said.

Xin Ja nodded his head in response.
