Angus's plan was radical. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but each part is well planned and reasonable enough, and after careful study, everyone thinks that this plan seems to be feasible. It's just that the risk is a little too great.

In the face of a sufficiently large benefit, a huge risk could not be an obstacle to his execution, and after a long enough period of deliberation, he decided to carry out this plan. In addition to his own personal soldiers, there was also Matthew who led his own team, and at the same time, there was a small group of people from the Holy See in both of them.

Of course, the Holy See team of thirty or forty people did not carry the banner of the Holy See, but all the equipment was changed and looked new, as if it was mixed in with the tone of Angus and Matthew's team, from the armor to their special weapons, there was no trace of the style of the Holy See in it, and on the surface, it had no relationship with the Holy See. Of course, secretly it is still the Holy See's own people, but it is just that it is not explicitly said.

These people together formed the force to carry out this assault, Angus naturally became the supreme commander of everyone, and under him was Matthew with his own mercenary group, this team that was only loyal to Carlile was only temporarily under the leadership of Angus, they only cooperated at this time because they had a common goal and Carlil agreed, otherwise Matthew could completely ignore Angus and go their own way.

But now it is enough to cooperate, this group of mercenaries who have been baptized by years of bloody battles are no worse than the regular army of Scaloa in terms of ability, and even much better than some younger troops. But there is one fatal problem that directly restricts Matthew's team, and that is the unstable supply of personnel.

They are not the regular army of Scarloa, they have the support of the state, and these elite soldiers and strong generals are not forged overnight, so they have always been Matthew's treasures, and many of them have directly fought with Matthew himself for many years, and they have long been comrades in arms who have been born and died. A slight loss is enough for Matthew to feel distressed for half a day, almost one less to go, there is no way at all.

If it was before, because of the mixing with Scalloa's troops, Matthew's men also had a lot of Scalloa's miscellaneous fish to consume, but of course this raid was not likely to make such a big splash, so almost all of them were veterans in Matthew's own hands, and it was enough for Matthew to suffer for a while.

However, Matthew himself also understands that if they retreat in the face of the enemy in this kind of scene, it is to cut off their own retreat, and to be able to solve all the enemies at least sacrifice as quickly as possible, which is what they should do. Once you have concerns about yourself, you will be soft, you will hesitate, you will hesitate, and any hesitation towards the enemy is cruel to yourself, no one will recognize their momentary hesitation, only they will pay with their lives.

Everybody knows what they're supposed to do, and that's a good thing.

On the day Angus launched the attack as planned, it was probably the day that the heavens were also on their side, and after a few days of sunny days, it became cloudy today, and there was no moonlight at night. Of course, the city has its own lighting, but in the forest, it's a very different situation.

It was a good night for a sneak attack, and everyone felt like they were wasting the weather if they didn't do something on a dark night like this. And that's exactly what happened.

Matthew and his men spent three days successively passing through the southern Kotritsy Line, going around to the rear and hiding in the forest, preparing to directly attack the stronghold behind Cortridge, and pull out this stronghold at night as quickly as possible to block communications from the front line, creating an opportunity for the troops in front.

Of course, the army in front of them was the group led by Angus, and at this time they were completely prepared, hiding far enough away from Cottridge, waiting for the night time to launch a surprise attack on it as soon as the time came.

And both sides must quickly river and break through the next city overnight along the forest after the attack is successful, so that this stage of the plan can be regarded as successful, so that Angus's troops can gain a firm foothold in the Sunderland Line, and only then will they have the capital for the next battle.

The entire defense line is a huge bubble, and this attack site carefully selected by Angus is the most suitable place to poke this bubble, which can be occupied unconsciously with the fastest speed, and can not be detected by the surrounding city-states in a short time, and use this as a springboard to quickly go inward.

And along the way, it was all this kind of battle that had to be won by timing, and Angus planned to use various methods to get the maximum offensive gain and quickly break into the heart of Sunderland.

At least...... Now there is still a way out, we must give the whole plan a good start, if you have already caught a head here, the future plan can be directly abandoned, there is no possibility of success.

Matthew's men had been lying in ambush around the stronghold for a whole day.

The center of the colony is a simple place that looks like a manor, of course, it does not leave a large open space like a real manor, but only a place in the middle of the forest, erects some temporary buildings, and then sets up a sentry post in the forest to serve as a transit point between Kotledge in front and the town in the rear. It is protected by Cottridge directly behind and is used as a transit and resting place in the front and rear.

Before the middle of the night, Matthew was in charge of pulling out this stronghold unknowingly, this small stronghold was not a problem for Matthew's people at all, and what really bothered Matthew was that the attack had to be quick and effective, to ensure that everyone in it stayed on the spot, and that no one could escape, and once an enemy escaped into the forest, it would be difficult to capture him.

And once the news leaks out, the result is not much to say.

Throughout the day, each of Matthew's men was hidden in the forest, divided into different parts, starting with the enemy on the sentry, staring at everyone from the outside to the inside, repeatedly confirming the plan of the attack in his mind, and then patiently waiting for the time to come.

And this hand-to-hand mark, it was this crisp bird's call, a somewhat abrupt nightingale call, that pierced out from the direction where Matthew was hiding. Every mercenary understands that the time has come to get their hands dirty.

The sentry scattered in the forest were the first to be attacked, and they didn't even have time to warn their own sentry before they were brought down by the figures that came out almost at the same time. A group of strong mercenaries in cloth armor rushed to each sentry at the same time as the nightingale sounded, instantly put down the sentry above them with sharp daggers, and then quickly supported the sentry's fallen body and slowly placed it on the ground to ensure that the light armor of the sentry would not make a little unnecessary sound.

At this time, the other mercenaries had already touched in, like wolves entering a flock, quietly rushing out of the forest, taking advantage of the moment when the guards in the stronghold turned their backs to them, they touched them from behind, wiped the guards' necks with daggers, and put them on the ground. And his companions after him had already bypassed him and reached for their inner target.

The methods of this group of mercenaries seem to be no worse than those professional assassins of the Assassin Alliance. In such a relatively open and tidy environment, it is not a problem to take out the enemy silently, but if you change the scene to a forest or a castle or something, the methods of a professional assassin will be reflected again.

At least for now, it has been successful before.

After successfully killing the guards outside, it is already half the success, and the other parts of the enemies who are temporarily in the wooden house, as long as they see the opportunity to rush in and kill them by surprise, and the autumn wind sweeps away the leaves, they can quickly clear this stronghold, and let this relay station of the herald fall under the control of Matthew's side.

Matthew himself hid in the heights, watching every move in the stronghold with a cold eye, and he himself had a night vision potion from his channel, enough for him to distinguish everyone in the dark. Although he had already laid an eyeliner in the forest on the outskirts of the stronghold, he still personally saw and confirmed it until the entire attack ended silently and ensured that no enemy had escaped, then he withdrew his men and horses, quickly sorted out the scene, and re-concealed himself.

His first task for the night has been completed, and the remaining hours will depend on Angus's actions in front of him.

Very good, everything is fine, unnoticed, silent, swift and effective in one action. An attack that satisfies Matthew, although he never worries that the bastards under his command will not be able to complete the task perfectly, but when the task is successfully completed, he can't help but be happy for himself and them.

This is also a satisfactory beginning, from now on, all the news coming back from the front will be blocked here, there will be no news to pass out, no one will know in time that the front has been raided, and there will be no reinforcements to trouble Matthew and Angus.

And this is only the first half of Matthew's work tonight, there is the other half of the work to be done by themselves, and they still need to merge and attack the other city on the southern route, and attack it before dawn, so as to buy themselves enough time.

For this reason, Matthew doesn't mind leading the team to prepare first.

He reorganized part of his army behind the stronghold, leaving some men to guard the stronghold, ordered them to kill all the heralds who passed by, and then personally led the rest of the men and horses to quickly continue the march south. Just like when they arrived, the ghosts quickly disappeared into the dense forest

This is only the first prologue before the series of blows, and this prologue did not leave a single living spectator...... (To be continued.) )
