1627 Who was the Murderer? (1/2)
He didn't want to hurt Ye Xiao's feelings, but he didn't tell Ye Xiao what he really thought. 'You are making too many good friends, who are all different from each other. One day, when you can't give them anything good, you will lose many of them!'
However, he didn't say it. He didn't want to break the confidence and pride of this young man.
There was still a long life ahead of him!
Ye Xiao looked determined. He thought of Liu Changjun, Ning Biluo, Zhao Pingtian, Li Wuliang, Shangguan Zhuifeng, Lan Langlang, Zuo Wuji, Wan Zhenghao, and many others…
”My brothers will stay with me forever. They won't leave me!”
He believed it. ”There are ugly things in the world, but there are also good things.”
…
Something happened in the City of Chaos again.
One night.
Many people of the Great Ye Army were assassinated that night. The assassins must be good because there was no trace left behind as if they didn't exist. They always disappeared before people noticed them—whether they killed the target or failed to do so didn't matter.
The assassins weren't going after the leaders. They just killed those who were in charge of small groups, like the head of a squad. Among the men who were killed, there was a captain, and that was the highest position. Nobody at a high position got harmed.
That was the problem…
People who died were not powerful. They were all below level nine of the Divinity Origin Stage. That was all.
None of the assassins were normal. Some people were found dead a long time after the assassination…
Within one night, the Great Ye Army had lost over five hundred men!
It wasn't a lot. The Great Ye Army had a lot of people. However, these hundreds of men were all middle-level leaders. Without these men, the manpower system of the Great Ye Army couldn't run!
Ye Yunduan knew how serious it was, so he gathered people up for a meeting.
”Where did the assassins come from?” It was apparently the first thing they must find out.
If they knew where the assassins were from, they could make preparations to prevent further damages. They could even figure out the reason for the assassination. This must be the first step of an intrigue. They should do something in advance in order to face the possible dangers!
The meeting fell into silence. Nobody said anything.
The Great Ye Army had been expanding faster than people had expected. The three guards of Ye Yunduan became three great generals. The seven old masters were surely not satisfied with such an arrangement.
