Chapter 496. Hideaway outside Lionheart

Near Lionheart, in a quiet tributary of the Rythniston River.

A triremit approached another triremittal.

Then, a thick plank more than ten meters long and one meter wide stretched out from the side of a three-lined warship and landed on the side of another three-column warship.

With a slight tap on the side of a trirex, Besture turned over and stepped onto the plank, heading for the other trirem.

Two three-column warships swayed with the waves, driving the planks to sway.

However, Bestur's pace was steady, and the bumps did not affect him in the slightest.

Bestur is the elite of the people on horseback - the Kugit Khanate.

As a nomadic thug, Besture had been begging for a living on horseback on the continent of Calradia, and the bumps on horseback were much stronger than the shaking of the planks.

This time, for the surprise attack on Lionheart, Baron Kant gave Baystur carte blanche to Bestul.

Bestur's reputation in Calradia, though not a good one, is no weaker than that of the wandering knight Fatis and the villain aristocratic Rolf.

He also had outstanding military talents.

This nomadic thug is a troublesome but helpless existence wandering in Calradia.

Bestur is particularly adept at harassment tactics, being able to spy around his target like a ghost, delivering a fatal blow from the weakest position of the target when they least expect it.

Besture is good at taking risks.

Similar to Rolf.

But the difference is that Rohr was born into an aristocracy, and he tends to act in the interests of others, and likes to harm others and benefit himself.

Born in the steppe tribes of the Kugit Khanate, Bestur has seen the contention and annexation of the steppe tribes, and deeply understands that the victor gains everything, and the loser loses everything.

Therefore, Bestur's war plan was not based on temporary interests, but was planned and arranged with the ultimate program of obtaining a final victory, and Bestur could do whatever it took to win.

He is not as concerned with the preservation of his own strength in the war as Rolf, as long as he can achieve victory, the appropriate sacrifice is understandable in the eyes of Bestur.

In the war between the tribes of the steppe, there are no immortals.

In the continent of Calradia, Besture has always been known for his irascible and cunning, adventurous image.

Besture easily jumped from the plank onto the deck of another three-column warship.

The trireme he jumped on was Baron Kant's ship.

Besture came to submit a war plan to Baron Kant, a surprise attack on Lionheart.

The Resneston River is a bustling river with many bustling towns on both sides of the river, and a large number of merchant ships passing through the river.

However, the section of the Resneston River between the South and East Counties is relatively scarce due to the isolation of political barriers, and the merchant ships of the fleet led by Besture have been encountered in the past few days, and they are all quietly sinking to the bottom of the deep Resneston River at this time.

Surprise attack, can't leak the news.

When it was necessary to pass through the bustling towns on both sides of the river, Bestur arranged for the fleet to travel day and night, so as not to be detected by the garrison soldiers in the towns.

At this time, the fleet had been lurking for two days in a hidden branch channel near Lionheart.

Besture loves war, but does not fight unprepared wars, and if he is facing an opponent who knows nothing, even if he looks weak, Besture would rather flee far away first.

This is the code of conduct of Bestur, on the continent of Calradia, there are quite a few hunters like Bestul, but many more die.

Bestur's ability to live without death and his great fame has nothing to do with his code of conduct.

Lionheart is the largest city in the Lion Principality, and it is also a bustling trading city, and there is no extremely strict screening of people entering and leaving.

In the past two days, Bestur sent soldiers to easily infiltrate Lionheart City, and investigated the strength of Lionheart City and the garrison.

After two days of probing the strength of Lionheart, Besture has a relatively specific understanding of the types of troops in Lionheart, their strength, arrangement, and garrison rotation.

Judging from the arrangement and rotation of the garrison soldiers, Bestur deduced that the four top nobles of the Southern County Lords who controlled the garrison of Lionheart City did not notice their surprise fleet. Because of Lionheart, there has not been any major troop movements and deployments to prevent them.

The docks of Lionheart City are still as prosperous as ever, and although the garrison force is not weak, it is still only the usual number.

After understanding this information, Besture formulated a war plan based on this, and he formulated as many as three sets of war plans.

The surprise attack plan in the war plan is the same, the difference is the second half of the plan.

There are follow-up plans for the success, thwart, and failure of the surprise attack, and there are detailed countermeasures in the face of any situation that may be encountered.

The cunning and changeable style is often based on adequate preparation.

Conyan sat in the room, which was used as an office in the cabin, poring through ancient texts about gods, demons, and the wars between gods and demons.

In front of the desk made of fine wood, there is a shiny silver table on the left and right, and on each silver table is burned three fine beeswax purchased from the Silver Plate Empire, illuminating the whole room very brightly. With thick velvet carpets on the floors and extravagant ornaments on the wooden walls, the room looks luxurious.

Kant has absolute confidence in whether Lionheart City can be captured, which is not blind confidence, but self-confidence that comes from knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

Therefore, instead of putting too much of his mind on it, he gradually extended his gaze to the more distant future.

Status always comes from strength.

The highest power in this world is none other than gods and demons, who were once the masters of this world, and now they are showing signs of returning.

Kant had been at war with the forces of the gods or demons for many rounds.

But whether it is an undead army led by a death knight who is subordinate to the power of the gods,

Or Amentik, the self-proclaimed supreme lord of hell, lord of evil, ruler of flames,

Or the supreme lord of hell, the lord of evil, the flaming flaker.

None of them can represent the real gods and demons.

Not to mention the undead troops led by the death knights who claim to be gods, they are not gods and demons at all.

Let's just say that those two demons, no matter how great and powerful they boast about, are actually only small characters among the demons.

The supreme lord of the Hell Demon, what a ridiculous title, this is probably the most worthy of the title of the two demons.

Because, the devil comes from the abyss, and the devil comes from hell.
