Chapter 217: Raid on the Castle
Fang Dalei actually said very reasonably, as the saying goes, soldiers are expensive and fast, and now war is about speed, and what is important is rapid response.
"What Colonel Fang said makes sense, even we ourselves are not prepared, and the enemy is definitely not prepared, I think, the news of our coming to France should not be a secret, and the people of the Dark Council will not know about it, but they will never think that we have found their lair, let alone that we will raid their lair tonight!" John nodded, agreeing with the suggestion of the other party.
Since he said that there was no problem, James and the others naturally would not object to anything, after all, the identity of Cardinal John was there, which was second only to the Pope's high-level teachings.
"Then why don't we wait for the other knights to come together, and just rely on a few of us?" James asked worriedly, after all, listening to what Ma Yan said, the other party has dozens of people in the castle, and there are four people on his side plus Fang Dalei's side, and there are less than ten people in the full fight, and the difference in numbers is a bit big.
"I still say the same thing, the soldiers are not expensive, and no matter how many people there are, they are just stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs, and they can't be lifted on the table." Fang Dalei said confidently, the other party doesn't have any high-end combat power, but three masters who are quite infancy, pay attention, this is just equivalent to, it is divided according to the realm, and when it comes to really fighting, Fang Dalei, who has a lot of equipment and exercises to bless his combat power, does not have to be afraid of several masters of the other party at all, let alone worry about the low-level combat power below, those are all made up. No matter how many people there are, it is in vain, and the difference in strength levels is too large.
"That's right, what Colonel Fang said makes sense. The three of them are all masters of the Yuan Infant Stage, you are also a Golden Knight, and the rest are not weak in strength, there is no need to wait any longer, I am afraid that there will be problems if we wait any longer. John nodded, this time he came out with the Pope and the other cardinal archbishops, and vowed to take back the Dark Grail.
There was also a lot of factional fighting in the church. As fierce and brutal as the political struggles of the ancient Roman period, John's side was currently weak.
At present, the old pope is about to retire, and a new pope will be elected among the cardinal archbishops. The boss on John's side wanted to be the pope, and promised John that this time he would only do the business of the Dark Grail beautifully and give him the first archbishop.
That's why John was so concerned about this action, or else. A person of his stature would not leave the Vatican easily.
Now that the church and Fang Dali have reached a consensus. It was decided to go on a raid at night, then all that remains is to make a plan.
After discussion, because Fang Dalei and the others came to help, it was decided to let a few of them feint outside the castle to attract most of the enemy's troops, and James led the knights to rush into the castle and go to the basement to retrieve the lockbox containing the Dark Grail.
As for John and Luo Yuqi, because one is an old man. One was a woman, and everyone decided to let them be backup support in the rear. Although Luo Yuqi strongly objected, the protest was ineffective based on the leadership responsibility system and the principle that the minority obeys the majority. And John's side has to go to the front line, he can come to France in person is already very face-saving, and you still want him to work hard? This old thing is very life-saving.
To this end, Fang Dalei and the others had to prepare a series of props for James and them, including invisibility talismans, vajra talismans, swiftness talismans, giant power talismans, etc., to fully prepare for them.
Fang Dalei and the others didn't have any meaning to this, all he paid was some talismans, these talismans looked magical to John and the others, and they were rare, but for Fang Dalei, it was just a piece of yellow paper, some cinnabar, and a bit of true qi and spiritual power.
As for the feint, Fang Dalei has no opinion, isn't it just to attract some people to come over, and then fight guerrillas? Guerrilla fighting is the patent of the Chinese, it has been handed down from the time of Grandpa Mao, since the knights are willing to go in and attack the fortifications, then let them go.
When everything was settled, everyone went back to their rooms to recuperate, after all, there was still a fierce battle to be fought in the evening.
At midnight, Fang Dalei and the others took two rented off-road vehicles and drove towards the castle of Caster on the outskirts of Paris.
It stands to reason that raids are best between two and three o'clock in the middle of the night, because that is the most tired and sleepy time of the day, and it is also the time when people are least vigilant.
But there were either vampires or werewolves, or lichs, or any normal people.
And these strange creatures are nocturnal animals, and the more they reach the third watch in the middle of the night, the more energetic they are.
If it weren't for the fact that it was too obvious during the day, Fang Dalei and the others would have wanted to raid the castle in broad daylight, after all, sunlight was not so comfortable for vampires and werewolves.
The car was abandoned on the side of the road by Fang Dalei and others when it was more than ten kilometers away from the castle, and in the middle of the night, the movement of the car was too big, and the range close to ten kilometers might be discovered by the people in the castle.
John and Luo Yuqi were left in the car, ready to pick up Fang Dalei and the others.
When Fang Dalei and the others walked to only five kilometers away from the ancient castle, they stopped advancing, and at this time they were squatting in a small bush and hiding inside.
Further on, there was an unobstructed meadow, five kilometers long enough for the castle sentries to spot the people walking on the road, so they had to hide in the bushes and get ready.
"Here is the talisman you need, I will bless you now, after a while the blessing is good, you will quietly advance, when you get to the castle to send us a signal, we will rush over, we will rush over openly, and when most of the troops in the castle come out to support, you will go down to the basement of the castle and take out the box, this is a storage bag, but put the box in." Fang Dalei said, and also demonstrated the use of the storage bag, which made James and the others admire, and sighed at the wisdom of the Oriental Cultivation Technique.
You must know that in the West, although there is a legend of the space ring, I heard that only the Pope has one, and no one from other churches has ever talked about this magical thing, that is, the space ring on the Pope's hand, and I don't know whether it's true or not.
Looking at the shining eyes of James and the others, Fang Dalei hurriedly said: "This is just a loan to you, you have to return it to me when you run out, this thing is always rare!" ”
Although it was a little reluctant, but is the task important, James and the others still nodded obediently.
After arranging it, Fang Dalei put an invisibility talisman on James and the other four people, and at the same time slapped the other buff talismans on it, and then signaled to them, James and the others rushed out of the bushes and rushed towards the contract.
