After entering through a hole in the wall, the group quietly made their way through the camp.
By a campfire lay or sat several men and women who had fallen asleep after drinking too much ale by the fire, surveying their surroundings the group covered their mouths with the palm of their hands.
One of the peoples eyes opened upon feeling someone touching their body but before they could get a sense of their surroundings a dagger entered the back of their head.
The other three people died very quickly and quietly, Ki nodded upon seeing the sight. 'Although it wasn't a perfect assassination I believe with more practice they will improve.'
The people who killed the bandits activated their mystical arts draining the bodies and then placed the bodies on the ground out of the sight of others in case someone came out and saw them like that.
After scouting the area Ki returned before the group who were looking out for anyone appearing.
Ki signalled them to follow, she picked up some wood and placed it into the fire before handing it to one of the masked people and moved her hand to grasp her sword.
She signalled them again to draw their weapons as they reached a large wooden barn which held many people inside.
Ki took a sip of her wine and then sprayed it on the blade, then she took a small cloth and placed it inside the flask with some part of it hanging outside.
Opening the door to the barn she lit the end of the cloth on fire in the flask and threw it through the gap in the door before closing it again.
She then secured the wooden latch on the door locking it, she then turned to the group. "Your job is to kill all those that escape from the barn, there may one or two third rate martial artists mixed in with the group of people but they won't be in a good enough condition to be able to do anything."
Ki began to take out some thin threads made from her skill worm Gu and began to connect them to certain parts of the gate so that when the door is opened then the silk threads would tighten.
After completing her work she then handed the masked group an antidote which they swallowed immediately.
Ki then headed to the place that the leader seemed to be staying in followed by Rashida.
Within the barn the noise woke up most of the people inside and they noticed an odd light coming from a flask.
The flame burned until it reached inside then the flask shattered, the liquid burned at a fast speed and turned into a gas which quickly spread within the confined space.
Lucky for them the fire and wine was not thrown into a place which the fire could spread but the gas was another problem.
Some of the people closest began to breathe in the gas and some got into their nose and eyes. "What is this.. it's.. so.. aaaah."
Some of the people began to clutch their throat is pain as if several small bugs were crawling down their throat or nose while others began to scratch at their eyes.
More people noticed the problem and began to panic and wake up the others in a deep sleep and made an effort to grab their weapons.
The dark night which stopped their vision from being perfect, the smoke which was spreading and the panic after just waking up lead them to be too slow to reach the gate of the barn.
Many began to bang their hands on the door in a panic. "It's locked, quick knock it down so we can escape!"
Sounds from behind kept appearing as their screams began to become louder and more people began to join in with the screams. "Ahh!" "Gah!" "What the fu** is this!?"
"Idiots! Use your weapons and attack the middle of the door, it must be blocked from the outside. Hurry!" Finally someone took charge and started attacking the door then many others joined in.
"Just a bit more!" The weapons finally managed to cut the wooden latch and several people pushed the door open and began to rush out.
The moment they came into sight several arrows pierced into their bodies, then another set of arrows flew through the air after a short time.
The bandits at the front collapsed on the ground after being pushed back by the impact of the arrows.
Those who pushed through either fell back along with them, climbed over their bodies or tripped as they tried to walk over their bodies during the panic.
Since the door was open the poison began to flow towards the direction of the door and began to cause more problems.
Those that made it past the door finally felt that they were safe and could not wait to get revenge on their enemies but something strange began to take place…
As they began to pass through the doors someone turned around at the front with a thin line of blood on their neck and their eyes full of fear before falling back and dying.
Several men in front were being pushed forwards by their allies who were eager to escape, they either got pierces by arrows or cut by the thin silk threads.
Those at the back were being harmed by poison and the others were being wounded by sharp and thin threads they could not see in the darkness.
Those not killed by the threads or driven mad by the poisons effects were filled with wounds from the arrows.
One or two people did manage to get through a gap in the threads by luck but were met with 7 masked people who were waiting for them, already wounded the bandits could not put up a fight against them.
A large blood mist descended upon the camp grounds by the barn when the remaining wounded and dead were drained of their blood by the masked people.
The night was filled with the hysterical screams of the bandits and the cries of dead, seven figures stood outside the barn as if slowly trying to get used to the bloody atmosphere and come to terms with what they had just done.
One of the men in the masked group spoke up with a trace of fear in his voice. "I will say this now so you all do not become arrogant after being capable of killing this many bandits… had it not been for the young misses preparations we would surely have all died if we faced the bandits head on. This whole success is thanks to the young misses contributions, we merely supported to make sure the plan was a success. Try and learn from this and if you ever get the chance to work with the young miss in the future do your best to watch her and learn from her actions if you want to live a long life. Try to adapt what you have learned today into your future missions and try to think how best to make use of what we have. Let's check the barn after removing the traps to make sure everyone is dead before we move to burn the bodies and search for weapons or anything useful."
