Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 224 Assassination
Underground fortress.

Honnil was currently reviewing reports about the rebels.

Over the course of several months, more than a dozen rebel forces of varying sizes emerged within the Kingdom of Kaya. However, the smaller of these forces consisted of only a few hundred people, and only two groups, led by General Dera and Commander Ili, could truly be considered a threat.

These two forces have a core strength of less than 3 people, but they have urgently recruited more than 10 people in the past few months, which seems to have given them some scale, but...

Of General Della's relatively strong force of 6 men, there were only 12 tanks and 30 armored vehicles, all of which were light tanks and armored vehicles, plus a little over 20 artillery pieces.

Its air power is so weak that it relies on only 8 helicopters to maintain appearances.

In contrast, their army has expanded from 8 a few months ago to 20, with more than 240 tanks and armored vehicles, plus more than 110 artillery pieces of various types, and in the air, there are not only 40 helicopters of various types, but also 12 fighter jets.

Although they are all old and outdated equipment, and more than half of them have problems, the quantity is much higher.
With this power so immense that it made the land tremble, he had essentially gained complete control of the domestic situation. It was only a matter of time before he utterly crushed the rebels and became the ruler of the Kingdom of Kaya.

However, upon seeing the intelligence report about the escaped members of the Kaya royal family, a cold smile appeared in the head of state's eyes.

"It's an inevitable trend. It seems these people have already figured out what is orthodox."

He said directly to his guard captain, "Summon the captain of our special operations brigade to see me. Also, prepare manpower to cooperate with the special operations brigade in raiding stronghold number 31. We've been holding this rebel stronghold for so long, we've finally caught a big fish."

"Yes!"

The guard captain acknowledged the order and quickly relayed it to others.

Soon after, three fully armed figures arrived quickly.

It was a captain and two deputy captains from the special operations brigade.

Without exception, all three of them were high-level martial artists and high-level mental energy users!
Captain Harry, in particular, is not only a high-level martial artist with a physique of over 25 points, but his mental strength has also crystallized and reached 22 points, making him the third strongest person on their side besides himself and Hera.

"The Führer."

Harry bowed.

"This is your mission."

Honil handed him a piece of intelligence: "Those traitors are still haunting us. Tuta, this fish that escaped the net, is even thinking of returning to Blade City to stir up trouble and disrupt the prosperity and peace of Blade City. We must stop them! You lead the team to take action. If you can capture them alive, do so. If you can't capture them alive, then don't leave any survivors."

He said directly, "Once this so-called eldest prince is dead, I want to see what excuse the people of Dela and Eli will use to resist us."

"Yes!"

Harry solemnly agreed.

However, just as he agreed to the matter, he suddenly sensed something.

An unparalleled sense of crisis instantly enveloped his entire body, causing him to feel a chill run down his spine as if his hair had been pricked up.

This sudden mental warning made Harry's expression change drastically: "Oh no!"

The next moment, his spirit erupted in full force...

Almost at the instant his mind erupted, he sensed a streak of light breaking through his mental perception at an incredible speed, rushing through a ventilation shaft less than ten centimeters in diameter!
The spiritual fluctuations emanating from it, along with the sword intent so sharp it could almost tear the mind apart, caused the special forces captain, a high-level martial artist and mental power user, to let out a shriek: "Flying sword! Commander, be careful!"

Almost the instant he cried out in surprise, a sharp streak of light shot out from the ventilation duct, carrying a chilling aura as it hurtled toward Honnil.

Upon being alerted, Honil roared angrily, drew the sword from the side of his desk, unleashed his power, and slashed at the sharp blade.

but……

The flying sword was too fast!

And the target is too small!
Using a sword to cut a flying sword is no different from using a sword to slice a bullet!
If Honir had developed divine sense, he might have had some hope of achieving precise control over his surroundings through that sense, but alas...

His mental strength score didn't even break through 20.

The slash he unleashed was incredibly fast, but he could only watch helplessly as the flying sword nimbly weaved through the flash of light, then rapidly magnified before his eyes…

"Do not……"

This master-level warrior, who had just become the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Kaya, didn't even have time to leave his last words before his vision was completely filled with the brilliance of the flying sword.

In a daze, he seemed to realize that his mind was empty, and all his thoughts and consciousness were collapsing into that emptiness.

It was as if a black hole had appeared in his mind, devouring all his thoughts and consciousness, until all his senses were plunged into darkness.

"Führer!"

An angry, resentful roar came from Harry's mouth.

Instead of turning and running away, the special operations brigade captain, who was at the highest rank, roared and drew his sword with all his might, charging straight toward the flying sword that had pierced through Honil's head.

However, before he could rush onto the flying sword, the sword, which had just delivered the fatal blow, spun around and became as agile as if it had a life of its own. Driven by mental power, it accelerated and charged straight at Harry.

Under the furious sword strike of the special operations team captain, the sword light accelerated and pierced through his head again at a speed beyond his body's reaction time.

roar……

Stopped abruptly.

"call out!"

The flying sword spun!
After killing two powerful figures in succession, he did not pause for a moment and continued to attack the other two vice captains.

Under the horrified gazes of the two men, he pierced their heads again, and then, with a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, continued to shoot and kill everyone else in the office.

After doing all this, the flying sword sped along the ventilation duct again, returning to Ji Fuyou's side in less than a breath.

"ended."

Ji Fuyou caught the Wuji Sword and put it into the scabbard on his body.

Rhodes, who was standing to the side, was slightly taken aback, seemingly not having reacted yet.

"Go to the front lines and have your General Della keep an eye on Hera. Don't let him hide."

Ji Fuyou spoke. At that moment, a commotion suddenly erupted inside the palace, accompanied by panicked shouts.

Something serious has obviously happened.

And combining this with what Ji Fuyou just said...

Rhodes snapped to attention and instantly realized, "Yes."

He quickly left the palace with Ji Fuyou and headed straight for Outpost No. 31.

The return trip was significantly faster.

Within minutes, Ji Fuyou and his companion arrived at the stronghold.

There were clearly still people loyal to Tuta in the palace.

Although I couldn't get into the inner circle, I could still sense the chaos within the palace.

As the two returned, Tuta excitedly went to greet them: "Master, you... succeeded?"

"Honnier is dead."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He then glanced around and said, "Your base has already been exposed. Take advantage of the current chaos and get out as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the room changed their expressions.

Tuta immediately used their native language to order the others to retreat.

He believed that Ji Fuyou would not deceive them on this matter.

"Go to the border now, kill Hera, and complete our deal as soon as possible, lest Hera, having received the news, hide away."

Ji Fuyou Road.

"Understood, I'll go with you right away."

Tuta quickly replied.

The group got back into the car and quickly drove out of Baoren City, heading straight for the main force of Honir's armed forces near the border.

Of Honil's 20 troops, 4 remained in Blade City, 8 were besieging Dela, 5 were confronting Commander Ely, and about 3 were stationed in major cities across the country.

The group continued their journey and soon arrived at the war-torn area.

By this time, news of Honnil's assassination had already spread.

Without their supreme leader, the rebel army was not exactly leaderless, but their morale was severely damaged.

Furthermore, Tuta immediately released the information through various channels, and some armed forces that were not loyal to Honir but had surrendered due to survival pressures began to have the intention to rebel.

Next, Tuta only needs a resounding victory to demonstrate his power, and then he can rally the people and bring the Kingdom of Kaya back under their royal rule.

And the key to this resounding victory...

This was clearly a battle between General Della and Hera, an army of up to 14 men.

“Master, I have informed General Della about the situation at the palace. He will launch a fierce attack at the front and draw fire for you.”

Tuta said, "However... the assassination attempt at the palace has alerted Hera. She has now left the command post and is probably in hiding. I'm afraid you'll have to put in some extra effort."

"It doesn't matter."

Ji Fuyou said, "As long as the information on the main officers you give me is up-to-date, that's fine."

"All of this is firsthand information."

Tuta immediately said.

Ji Fuyou nodded, then glanced at Luo De: "You don't need to follow anymore, lest you fall behind."

"Yes."

Rod responded respectfully.

Hearing the distant roar of artillery fire and the gradually emerging outline of the city, he said, "Let's park here."

Tuta immediately stopped the car.

After getting off the car, Ji Fuyou leaped away and quickly disappeared from the group's sight.

This scene filled Tuta and Rhodes with envy.

"Taking the head of a general from among ten thousand troops is as easy as taking something out of a bag; it is no more than that."

Rod sighed.

"Commander Luo, I believe you can achieve this soon too."

Tuta turned his gaze to him: "In the upcoming battle, we will have to rely on Commander Luo. The individual combat equipment purchased at great expense from Dragon Head Town is ready and can absolutely ensure your safety in the hail of bullets."

Upon hearing this, Rhodes nodded solemnly: "I will act as the vanguard, directly infiltrating the enemy's rear base to cause destruction and create panic, thereby demoralizing the rebels."

"I will lead the army forward alongside General Della! We will press on and crush Honir's 8-strong army! Then we will advance into Blade City and restore the Kingdom of Kaya! I will do everything in my power to completely rid our country of war, chaos, poverty, and hunger!"

Tuta's eyes shone.

Rod and the rest of the team looked at him with great interest.

They clearly had great faith in his abilities.
