Chapter 66 Divided Forces Attack

Upon seeing the border guard approach, Rod dismounted and went forward to greet them.

During this process, a woman jumped off the snow steed at the very front of the opposite side and landed gracefully.

The female knight, clad in pure white armor, moved with agility and grace, exuding a heroic and dashing air. Her long, brown hair fluttered in the cold wind.

Rhodes noticed her pale gold eyes and realized that she was Viscount Marcia.

She is also my cousin.

She looked to be around 27 or 28 years old, and her appearance wasn't particularly refined.

But the light steel armor she wore perfectly outlined her front and back lines, and her thighs beneath the skirt armor were long and powerful.

Her healthy, wheat-colored skin exudes a unique, wild charm, befitting a mature woman from the North.

Most importantly, Rhodes could sense the powerful energy within her that belonged to the Extreme Knight.

While Rhodes was sizing up the other man, Marcia was also observing this knight with whom she had a special relationship.

But a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Just as Elena said, she is indeed very cute.

With his fair and delicate face and dazzling golden hair, few men in the principality could rival him.

But she considered herself different from that pervert Elena and had no interest in raising such a child in bed.

The focus should be on strength!

Marcia couldn't sense any powerful knightly aura emanating from the other party, which made her feel terrible.

It's clearly a conflict between a duchy and a kingdom, yet they insist on dragging such a fragile child into it.

Elena, when you were sixteen, even if I cut off someone's head, you'd hide behind me and cry for ages!

Moreover, this was Elena's child. Marcia recalled the scene when Elena visited the duchy and gently held her when she was a child.

Now she had to use this child, which filled her with resentment towards Elena.

Marcia muttered to herself, but stared coldly at Rhodes.

She noticed Rhodes's cavalry armor and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ha, has the Kingdom of Sword Mausoleum become so poor that it can't even afford a pair of white steel armor?"

Um, you're so sarcastic from the moment you meet me, are you that fierce?

But why didn't he sense any malice? Rhodes looked at her strangely.

Rod paused for a moment, then tentatively replied, "Yes, Sister Marcia, I'm very poor right now."

Since the person on the other end was his cousin, Rod didn't care whether he lost face or not.

He was more curious about the other party's attitude.

Upon hearing his words, Marcia glanced at her armor without realizing it was the wrong size.

She shook her head, quickly composed herself, and walked to Rhodes' side, gesturing for him to enter the camp together.

"My time is limited. After finishing the cleanup of Mole Town, I need to go back immediately to discuss important matters."

Her tone remained indifferent, but Rhodes couldn't help but chuckle.

He noticed that the other person seemed to care about him quite a bit.

"There are still quite a few good people among my relatives," Rod thought to himself as he followed her to the center of the camp.

A map of Mole Town was placed in the center, and the two discussed the upcoming cleanup operation.

"Mole Town is currently divided into two areas. One is the western side of the town, which is controlled by the Golden Lantern, who has sided with the Mole Tribe, and the town's army."

Marcia explained to him, "The other area is on the east side of the town, where the mining area is located, and it's now occupied by the Mole Tribe."

Rhodes nodded and said, "I understand the situation. We will split into two teams. One hour before sunrise tomorrow, my men will attack the west side, and you will attack the east side to prevent the enemy from escaping in the chaos."

With the help of the border guards, the enemies in Mole Town are no match for them; they can simply launch a direct assault and crush them.

But Marcia frowned and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"The west side is the core of the town, protected by high internal walls. The combined number of the Golden Lanterns and the town's army exceeds four hundred."

"In contrast, the eastern mining area is not protected by city walls, and the mole tribe, which is deep in the duchy, has no more than three hundred soldiers, making it much easier to deal with than the western area."

Marcia decided to give the child another chance to clarify the contrast between the two sides' strengths and weaknesses.

Hopefully, Rhodes will choose the weaker side on the east.

After a while, seeing that Rhodes did not change his mind, Marcia snorted and turned to walk outside.

The governor's summons for this purge operation was clearly stated in Elena's order.

Rhodes will be in charge, with Marcia only providing assistance.

Therefore, she did not refute the other party's plan, but felt even more disappointed.

View it as a childish attempt by the other person to prove themselves and express their ego.

Rhodes didn't seem to care much.

From the perspective of a strong attack, the western side, protected by high walls, is indeed more difficult to attack than the eastern mining area.

However, the army there is a mixed force, a composite unit pieced together from multiple factions, with low individual soldier quality.

According to his plan, he only needed to infiltrate them and lead his elite troops to kill their respective leaders.

The western army would immediately be thrown into chaos.

When the time comes, we can open the gate and easily conquer it.

On the east side of the town, however, the mole tribe had fewer soldiers, but many of them were elite and united.

Even if they lose command temporarily, these barbarian soldiers with no way out are not to be trifled with, and a fierce battle will still break out.

Marcia's border guards didn't care, but Rhodes' soldiers were likely to suffer heavy casualties.

After confirming their targets, the two armies separated from their temporary camps and headed to their respective target areas in Mole Town.

The attack was scheduled for one hour before sunrise.

At that time, the sky was just before dawn, and although the light was dim, it was enough for the soldiers to see the road clearly so that they would not stray from the ranks and run away.

That's also the time when the enemy's outposts are most relaxed, making it ideal for a rapid attack by a fast-moving force.

It was midnight, with several hours to go before the war began.

Rhodes stood on a high slope, gazing into the distance as the cold wind blew.

That is the core area on the west side of Mole Town.

The surrounding high wall is five meters high, enough to withstand an attack from ordinary soldiers.

As the dark clouds continued to move, the moonlight was completely blocked, and Mole Town was plunged into darkness.

"It's about time, let's go."

"Rhodes said softly, and then leaped down the slope," Rod said.

Behind him, Noah, Holmes, and twelve knights bowed their heads in obedience.

They all jumped down the slope to follow in his footsteps.

The mist-covered raven descended from the sky and perched on the group's shoulders.

A murky gray mist enveloped the surface, and with the help of the Feather of Hidden Mist, the group slipped into the shadows and disappeared into the darkness.

After crossing the outer wall of Mole Town, I walked silently down the street.

Compared to the chaotic attack of a large army under the cover of night.

Elite troops launching surprise attacks and decapitation strikes are clearly more suited to the night raid model of this world.

After seeing Holmes raise his crossbow and shoot a soldier in the neck at the watchtower ahead, Rhodes nodded and continued on his way.

The level of the Mist Raven is not high enough. To pass through walls, it must maintain a sufficiently slow speed and cannot be too large.

Exposing yourself to the enemy is more like suicide.

After all, you can't make too much of a movement when going through a wall.

However, as a stealth skill used by an assassin lurking in the shadows, it is more than perfect.
