Chapter 43 - Part42:Assassination at Lumiose Harbor

Heroes of the Three Kingdoms Invade Fontaine: Surprise Attack on Lumiose Harbor

 

Night fell over Lumiose Harbor in Fontaine. Waves crashed against the shore, letting out low, muffled sounds. He Ji, an elite assassin under Yuan Shao, dressed in black night garments, slipped silently into this foreign port. He carried a vital mission — to open a path for Yuan Shao's army to march into Fontaine.

 

Agile and swift, He Ji moved like a ghost through the shadows of the harbor. His sharp eyes scanned every corner, alert to any potential threat. As a major trading port of Fontaine, Lumiose Harbor was usually bustling with merchant ships. But now, shrouded in the gloom of war, it lay unusually quiet. Guards patrolled cautiously through the night, their footsteps echoing on the stone pavement, breaking the silence of the dark.

 

Hiding behind a pile of cargo, He Ji studied the patrol pattern. He noticed that a squad of soldiers passed by one side of the harbor at regular intervals before vanishing into the dark. He waited patiently, calculating the perfect moment to strike.

 

As the patrol passed again, He Ji shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow. His sharp blade glinted coldly, drawing deadly arcs through the night. Before the guards could sound an alarm, they fell one by one into pools of blood. His movements were clean and decisive, as if he had been born for killing.

 

After eliminating the patrol, He Ji remained vigilant. He knew more enemies lurked within the port. Continuing forward carefully, he used buildings and cargo as cover. Whenever he encountered isolated guards, he struck quickly and fiercely, taking them down one by one. His figure vanished into darkness, then reappeared like lightning, leaving his enemies helpless.

 

Deeper into the port, resistance grew fiercer. Yet with superb combat skills and a calm mind, He Ji escaped danger time and again. At last, he reached the harbor command center, brightly lit, where several officers were anxiously discussing their response. They had clearly sensed something was wrong, but had no idea where the enemy would strike.

 

He Ji gave them no time to think. He kicked open the door and stormed inside. The officers panicked and grabbed their weapons, but He Ji was far too fast. He weaved through the room, slashing with his blade, until blood covered every surface. Moments later, all enemies in the command center were dead.

 

He Ji stood by the window, overlooking all of Lumiose Harbor. The guards inside were already thrown into chaos. He knew his mission was mostly complete.

 

He quickly lit a prepared signal flare. A red light burst into the night sky, bright and striking. Seeing the signal, Yuan Shao's army flooded toward Lumiose Harbor. He Ji opened the main gates, welcoming his allies inside.

 

Yuan Shao's forces passed smoothly through Lumiose Harbor and advanced into the heart of Fontaine. He Ji's surprise attack had won them a precious advantage. In the days ahead, Yuan Shao's army would fight a fierce battle against the forces of Fontaine on this unfamiliar land.

 

And He Ji would continue to play a crucial role in this war, writing his own legend.
