Chapter 1974: They Made Their Move!

Sentu Castle.

This is a remote town in Europe, where a thousand-strong unit of the Bright Church is stationed under the leadership of a devout follower named Baki. Their main responsibility is to support the main army and eliminate small Blood Clan forces.

In the days following the outbreak of war, this thousand-strong unit hadn’t encountered any mishaps.

Therefore, compared to the tension and gravity of the main battlefield, the atmosphere around Sentu Castle was peaceful and harmonious. Apart from Sentu Castle, the situation at other border battlegrounds was much the same.

After night fell, the thousand-strong unit prepared to rest.

This was their last night stationed at Sentu Castle, and at dawn, they would set off for their next target location.

As midnight approached, Baki returned from his patrol and told his adjutant, "It’s about time now; everyone can go rest."

"How many should we assign for night watch tonight?" the adjutant inquired.

In response, Baki dismissively said, "We’re so safe here, there’s no need to assign any night watch."

Hearing this, the adjutant expressed concern, "But if we don’t assign a night watch, what if the Blood Clan launches a sneak attack? Our main force suffered heavy losses before because of a sneak attack by the Blood Clan."

"Sir, shouldn’t we take strict precautions?"

Being confronted like this, Baki was somewhat displeased and said, "Eugene, are you being overly cautious? The Blood Clan is terrified of us now; they’re too busy fleeing for their lives to dare attack us."

"Don’t overthink it. Have the soldiers go to rest."

Sensing his determination, the adjutant had no choice but to relay his orders after a sigh.

Very soon, the entire camp quieted down.

However, what no one noticed was that in a dense forest five hundred meters away from the camp, a guerrilla squad from the Blood Clan was hiding. This squad came from the Gage Family, whose head, Kurt Gage, was a mid-stage Martial Saint master of the Blood Clan.

At this moment, he was leading all the Gage Family experts, hidden in the forest, waiting for orders.

As soon as midnight struck, Kurt would immediately attack the thousand-strong unit before him.

"What time is it now?"

Kurt asked his nearby compatriot.

They communicated using ultrasound like bats. This was their Blood Clan racial talent, making it impossible for their conversation to be detected, even with Martial Saint masters in the opponent’s camp.

Promptly, an underling excitedly replied, "Clan Leader, there’s one minute left until midnight! That’s when we agreed with the other families to launch the attack!"

"One minute left? Very well, everyone prepare!" Kurt’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he spoke icily, "Once the time comes, we strike immediately!"

"Remember, don’t get caught up in the fight. We’re here for a quick, unexpected strike. If they start organizing a counterattack, we will withdraw immediately, understood?"

"Understood!" the crowd responded in unison.

Soon!

Midnight finally arrived!

A cold wind blew through the forest, filling the air with a chilling murderous intent!

Kurt’s gaze sharpened, and he motioned for everyone to begin the attack!

The Gage Family experts immediately crept towards the thousand-strong unit’s camp! The camp, as Baki ordered, had no patrols!

The camp was wide open, allowing the Gage Family experts to infiltrate freely!

"Now!"

Kurt suddenly shouted, initiating the battle.

The Gage Family experts sprang into action, catching the soldiers in the camp completely off guard! Cries of agony echoed through the vast camp, and a dense smell of blood quickly permeated the air!

Not only at Sentu Castle, but many other Bright Church border units were also attacked by the Blood Clan at the same time!

These units, responsible for border support, evidently didn’t expect the Blood Clan to dare orchestrate a sneak attack, and were caught off guard in their sleep!

The camp was in complete chaos.

The Blood Clan’s ambush tactics reaped great results, releasing their pent-up frustration in that moment. Everyone fought without mercy and avoided prolonged engagement, fighting with the goal of a swift kill.

On the Sentu Castle battlefield alone, in just thirty seconds, the Bright Church suffered two hundred casualties!

However, the Bright Church members were clearly no amateurs.

Baki quickly gathered his wits and, upon witnessing the Blood Clan experts rampaging in the camp, felt a mix of embarrassment and overwhelming anger: "Everyone, stay calm! They’re only a few dozen; we have overwhelming numbers!"

"Start regrouping, and wipe out these reckless bats!"

With the commander’s order, the previously panicked soldiers gradually regained their composure. Realizing the situation, they swiftly began counterattacking, aiming to capture the Gage Family members.

But what Baki and the others didn’t anticipate was that as soon as they regrouped and prepared to counterattack, the Gage Family immediately chose to retreat. Without the slightest hesitation, in an instant, the entire Gage Family vanished into the night, leaving no traces behind!

"Damn it!"

"They got away!"

Baki, clutching a long spear, cried out in frustration.

Especially when the casualty numbers were tallied, he was so infuriated he nearly bit off his back teeth.

In this attack, the Bright Church suffered a total of two hundred and thirty-two casualties! Meanwhile, the Gage Family had zero casualties, essentially gifting them with two hundred and thirty-two lives!

"Damn Gage Family!"

"I hadn’t even sought trouble with you, and yet you attack us first, going too far!"

Looking at the pile of corpses before him, Baki was filled with boundless anger and regret.

If he had heeded the adjutant’s advice to station soldiers for night patrol, tonight’s tragedy could have been avoided. But it was too late to say anything now, with such heavy losses, he could already foresee his grim fate.

Baki’s face turned ashen, eyes full of despair.

The adjutant glanced at him, couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, then said, "Sir, please accept my condolences. It’s not something anyone wished for. I believe with your previous achievements, the Church will not punish you."

Hearing this, Baki’s face turned even more somber.
