Chapter 66: Divided Attack
Seeing the border guards approaching, Rhodes dismounted and walked forward to greet them.

During this process, a woman jumped off the snowy horse in the front opposite and landed gracefully.

The female knight was wearing pure white armor. Her movements were agile and light, and she looked heroic. Her long brown hair fluttered in the cold wind.

Rhodes noticed her light golden eyes and realized that she was the Viscount Marcia.

She is also my cousin.

He looks to be around 27 or 28 years old, and his appearance is not delicate.

But the light white steel armor on her body perfectly outlined her front and back lines, and her thighs under the skirt armor were slender and strong.

With healthy wheat-colored skin, she exudes the unique wild charm of a mature northern woman.

The most important thing was that Rhodes could feel the powerful strength of an Extreme Knight in her body.

While Rhodes was sizing him up, Marcia was also observing this knight with whom he had a special relationship.

But there was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

It is indeed as Elena said, she is very cute.

With her fair and delicate face and dazzling blonde hair, few men in the principality can match her.

But she thought she was different from that pervert Elena and had no interest in raising such a child in her bed.

What we should focus on is strength!
Marcia felt bad because she couldn't feel the pressure from the powerful knight.

It's clearly a conflict between the principality and the kingdom, but they have to drag such a fragile child into it.

Elena, when you were sixteen, you had to hide behind me and cry for a long time when someone’s head was chopped off!

And this is Elena's child. Marcia recalled the scene when Elena returned to visit the Principality when she was a child and held her tenderly.

Now she had to use this child, which made her heart full of resentment towards Elena.

Marcia muttered to herself, but stared at Rhodes coldly.

She noticed the cavalry armor on Rhode and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Ha, is the Kingdom of Jianling so poor that it can't even afford a set of white steel armor?"

Um, you mock me as soon as we meet, are you that fierce?

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

Rhodes paused for a moment and tentatively replied, "Yes, Sister Marcia, I am so poor now."

Anyway, the person in front of him was his cousin, so Rhode didn't care whether he was embarrassed or not.

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

Hearing his words, Marcia unconsciously glanced at her armor, thinking that the size was not right.

She shook her head, quickly straightened her face, walked to Rhodes and motioned him to go into the camp with her.

"My time is limited. After I finish the cleansing of Mole Town, I need to go back immediately to discuss business."

Her tone was still cold, but Rhodes couldn't help but laugh.

He found that the other party seemed to care about him.

There are still many good people among the relatives, Rhodes thought, and followed her to the center of the camp.

The map of Mole Town was placed in the center, and the two discussed the next cleanup.

"Mole Town is currently divided into two areas. One is the west side of the town, which is controlled by the Golden Lanterns who have defected to the Mole Tribe and the town's army."

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

Rhode nodded and said, "I understand the situation. Next, we will split into two teams. One hour before sunrise tomorrow, my people 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 just storm in and crush them.

But Marcia's brow furrowed and she gave him a questioning look.

"The west side is the core of the town, which is protected by a high inner wall. The total number of the Golden Lanterns and the town's troops exceeds four hundred."

"On the contrary, the mining area on the east side has no wall protection. The mole tribe that has penetrated deep into the principality has no more than 300 troops, which is much easier to deal with than the west side."

Marcia decided to give the child another chance to clarify the strength comparison between the two sides, hoping that Rhode would take the initiative to choose the east side, the weaker side.

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

The details of this purge operation were clearly stated in Elena's Governor's conscription order.

Rod will be in charge, and Marcia will only help.

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 or express themselves.

Rhodes didn't care too much.

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

However, the composition of the army there is complex. It is a mixed force composed of multiple forces, and the quality of individual soldiers is low.

According to his plan, he just needed to sneak in and lead the elite troops to kill their leaders.

The army on the west side immediately fell into chaos.

When the time comes, open the gate and it will be easy to capture.

On the east side of the town, the situation is the opposite. Although the number of soldiers of the Mole Tribe is small, many of them are elite and they are united with each other.

Even if they lose their command for a while, these barbarian soldiers with no way to retreat are not pushovers and a tough battle will still break out.

The border guards led by Marcia didn't care, but the soldiers under Rhodes' command were afraid that they would suffer heavy casualties.

After confirming the target, the two armies separated from the temporary camp and headed to the target area in Mole Town.

The attack was scheduled for one hour before sunrise.

It was almost dawn at that time, and although the light was dim, it was enough for the soldiers to see the road clearly and avoid breaking away from the team and running around.

At the same time, that is also the time when the enemy outposts are most relaxed, which is suitable for rapid troop raids.

It was midnight, and there were still several hours before the battle began.

Rhodes stood on a high slope, looking into the distance in the cold wind.

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

The surrounding high wall is five meters high, enough to withstand the attack of ordinary soldiers.

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

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

Rhodes said softly, jumping down from the high slope.

Behind him, Noah, Holmes and twelve knights bowed their heads and received orders.

They jumped down the slope and followed in his footsteps.

The Mist Raven descended from the sky and landed on everyone's shoulders.

A turbid grey mist enveloped the surface, and under the influence of the Feather of Submerged Mist, the group slipped into the shadows and disappeared into the darkness.

After crossing the outer wall of Mole Town, he walked silently on the street.

Compared to the chaotic attack of a large-scale army in the night.

Elite troops' surprise attacks and beheadings are obviously more suitable for the night attack mode of this world.

After seeing Holmes raise his crossbow and shoot through the neck of the soldier in the sentry tower ahead, Rhodes nodded and continued to move forward.

The level of the Mist Raven is not high enough. If it wants to pass through the wall, it must maintain a slow enough speed and its body size cannot be too large.

If you are exposed to the enemy, it would be like committing suicide.

After all, you can't have too much movement when passing through a wall.

But as an assassin in the shadows, his stealth skills are perfect.
