Chapter 950: A Big Show
Tactics are in the service of strategy - Rhodes' purpose is to deter Noxus, so that Noxus would rather suffer a loss than dare to go to war with Demacia.
In this case, Rhodes had to show enough momentum to make the Noxians think that "we can't take the frontal group".
Therefore, the support that can be rushed from the other side is not as little as possible, but ...... The more the merrier.
Only by defeating the Noxians' brigade in front of the Noxians can they understand that they cannot afford to provoke them - and then they will be able to force Svein to make a decision to terminate Demacia's military operations.
It was for this reason that when it was confirmed that an overt assassination would be met with widespread resistance, Rhodes chose to happily begin the assignment.
"First of all, the target itself, Vladimir, Mr. Vladimir, who is suspected of inheriting the Darkspawn legacy - Vega, I'm sure you can kill that guy named Vladimir, right?"
"Of course!" Although he didn't even know what the Darkspawn was, Vega's sharp tone could not hide his excitement, "I will let everyone know that I am the most powerful and evil mage!" ”
During his time in Noxus, Vega had heard of Vladimir's name a lot - for him, killing Vladimir had become an obsession, and now that Rhodes was asking for the assassination to be turned into a matchless, he was clearly the most excited.
As for not being able to beat......
Rhodes had considered this situation, but Vega himself obviously didn't think about it - I'm the most powerful mage Vega, how could I not beat a blood-playing sissy?
"Next...... Mr. Jax, I don't think the Hand of Noxus or the Glorious Executioner or Undead Warrior of Noxus will be your opponent - these mortals wouldn't be able to break through your defenses compared to the Celestial Warriors who have ascended, right? ”
With a series of names of the most powerful warriors Noxus currently has, Rhodes looked directly at Jax, who had been silent all along—and that's what he brought Jax for.
"Leave it to me." Jax naturally accepted Rod's assignment, without even the slightest doubt in his tone, "These people won't have a chance to hinder you until the target falls. ”
Jax, who was more active in fighting against the Void than Rhodes, naturally would not refuse.
"Look, we're more than half done." Rhode's tone was full of lightness, "Next up are those bloody minions of Vladimir, I think the two 'demons' should be happy to talk to them, right?" ”
Neither Evelyn nor Tam cared about Rod's particular pronunciation of the word "demon" - they didn't know that in Rod's mind, he had been labeled a "demon's shame".
Evelyn and Tamm wouldn't have accepted the task if it were some other hard stubble, but what Rhodes handed over to them was indeed a bunch of soft persimmons - those minions had obtained Vladimir's blood, but they were ...... in combat effectiveness That's it.
You can't expect a group of noble N generations to still be brave and good at fighting, these minions are fine against ordinary people, if the opponent is these two demons...... They are almost given for nothing.
This is not the most satisfying for Evelyn and Tam - the most satisfying thing for them is that they are the penultimate ring of the battle, if the battle of Rhodes and the others was unfavorable before, they can slip away at any time, and they can even turn around and become two or five boys!
So, the not-so-reliable demon duo also accepted their mission.
"Look, everyone's enthusiasm is high." Rhodes looked at a nervous Trist, "Next, we're going to think about the Guards. ”
"The number of the garrison is more than three thousand." Trist had an ominous premonition in his mind, "It's hard to stop them with me and Graves alone - and the other two giants of Svein and LeBlan......"
"LeBlanc and Svein can be handed over to me." Rod waved his hand disapprehantly, "They're not your target, and I don't need you to stop that guard completely. ”
"What do you mean?"
"Prepare some traps and explosions beforehand, and I'll work with you to design the space warp in their path first, I guess the ubiquitous shattered space will make them careful, right? All you have to do is use the trap to drag them down, and in half an hour, Vladimir will be finished. ”
“……”
At this moment, Trist wanted to scold his mother.
Two people, blocking the most elite troops of 3,000 Noxus for half an hour - you really look up to me?
I didn't even know I was so hung up!
Trist was willing to refuse, but in front of Rhodes, he was obviously not qualified to refuse—under heavy pressure, for a moment Trist even wanted to stand on the side of Noxus.
But unexpectedly, Graves took the task first.
"Don't overthink it, Trist." Graves' hand rested on Trist's shoulder, "It's useless to think so much, I think what he said is good, this task is okay...... Three thousand, not a lot, the tide of flames, the pirates of Bilgewater are much more than that! ”
“……”
The smell of alcohol made Trist not know how to explain to his old partner for a moment what the concept of the elite of Three Thousand Noxus was—he suddenly realized at this moment why this guy Rhodes had brought a bottle of Demacia to Graves......
Trist, who wanted to cry without tears, could only stiffly accept his task, he understood that there was a bad fate between himself and Graves, if it weren't for this idiot who only knew how to drink, Rod would have no way to pull himself into this kind of game!
"So, the only thing we need to face next is the mage of Black Rose and the mage group under Svein." Nodding to Trist with satisfaction, Rhodes finally spoke again, "I have a good relationship with LeBlanc, she can still sell me face, and Svein's mage group ...... We're old friends too! ”
The implication is that Rhodes has plenty of certainty on his side, and may even have spare strength!
In this way, a meeting ended, and a Musou assassination operation against Noxus, against Vladimir, was completed.
The action was set for the night - when darkness fell and the noisy immortal fortress gradually fell silent, no one could have imagined what kind of changes would come to Noxus tonight.
In the darkness of the night, Tamm swallowed Evelyn in one gulp, and then quietly dived into a river that was invisible to the naked eye.
The curtain is on, and the show is on!
