Chapter 436: Is That Really the Way?
"Here's my plan"
On the wall of the council chamber hangs a huge map, which is the floor plan of the Rock Castle.
This drawing was drawn by Golia, at the request of Zhao Xi, and asked the builders in the original castle to draw it, and it was precisely the preparation that was completed in advance in order to recapture the Giant Rock Castle.
Zhao Xi stood in front of the map, pointed to the location of the military camp marked on the map and said: "I led the assault team out of here, responsible for seizing the city gate, and when the time comes, the inside and the outside should be combined, which is enough to catch the demons off guard!" ”
In order to complete the task of the fourth ring, Zhao Xi also made a lot of efforts, and a frontal attack was definitely the next step, and he didn't want to drag the Yangmei team into a battle that was difficult to win.
So if you want to retake the Great Rock Castle, you must win by surprise.
And beside Zhao Xi, there is a guy who can help him implement his sneak attack plan - Goblin Grum!
Although the goblins are weak, they are good at digging, so Zhao Xi asked Grum to contact his tribe early on, and through Guò, the patriarch who had been rescued by him, dug a tunnel leading to the inside of the boulder castle.
This task is actually very simple for the goblin clan, with the help of the existing sewer system under the castle, Zhao Xi chose the old barracks area of the castle for the exit location.
Because this location is very close to the city gate, even if the action is discovered by the demons, the reaction time left for the latter is very short, which greatly increases the probability of the success of the plan.
Zhao Xi explained his plan carefully.
As part of the most important part of this plan, he will personally lead the Raised Eyebrows team to infiltrate the castle. Open the gates and defend the walls, and welcome the Clarence army back to their hometown!
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
When Zhao Xi finished speaking, the conference hall suddenly burst into warm applause, even Golia, who applauded for this plan and for Zhao Xi's bravery.
In the chamber, most of them were knights of the Clarence family, as well as two of Russell's retinue, and the berserker who had been defeated by Zhao Xi did not choose to attend this important meeting, seemingly giving up the battle for command by default.
With no objection from anyone, Zhao's plan was unanimously approved.
The recapture of the Rock Castle begins.
The Clarence Army launched an operation against Boulder Castle. Just a small part of the battle of the entire Terran Alliance counterattack. Armies of heavily armed troops marched out of Locke's fortress in different directions.
This is an important part of the Plane of Destiny story, and there are many players involved in it, all of whom will face battles with rival factions. It is not yet known who killed the deer.
At noon. Zhao Xi took the Raised Eyebrows team along with the Clarence Army. Set off for Boulder Castle!
In front were hundreds of horsemen galloping on horseback, followed by wagons carrying soldiers, and long processions marched quickly across the plain. Like a sinuous dragon.
"Boss, do you think our plan will succeed this time?"
Fang Xu, who rode forward with Zhao Xi, was excited with a hint of worry: "There should be players from the imperial camp in the Giant Rock Castle, right?" ”
If you are just facing a group of NPCs, players often have a psychological advantage, because this is a game, and the existence of NPCs is ultimately for the player.
But when the opponent becomes the same player, the situation is completely different!
Since "Radiance" is divided into two camps, and the two camps belong to two different main planes, there is no direct contact between the main plane and the main plane, and at most there can only be occasional collisions and confrontations through the guò independent plane.
Therefore, the mutual understanding between players on both sides comes more from the forum than from the actual combat experience, and it is inevitable that there will be a sense of mystery.
The special nature of the plane of fate makes the large-scale confrontation between the players of the two camps a reality, this time the Terran Alliance relies on the Rock Fortress to launch a counterattack against the demons, and players on both sides will inevitably have a conflict and battle.
Therefore, Fang Xu's guess is very reasonable, it is very likely that there are players from the imperial camp in the Giant Rock Castle, maybe their task is to be responsible for guarding the castle.
If this is the case, then this sneak attack plan is very dangerous, after all, players and NPCs are different, and it is difficult to ensure that they are not adequately prepared.
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Whether you succeed or not, you have to fight hard, and if you can't fight it, you will quit." ”
Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, he pulled the entire team into the plane of destiny and invested it at any cost, it was for today's task that there was no reason to retreat.
If this is a gamble, then Zhao Xi has pressed all his bets, and once he loses, he will simply give up the big plot task and withdraw from the plane of fate - anyway, he has earned enough benefits here.
The team headed northwest, and after a half-day trek, when it was getting dark, it was not far from the Giant Rock Castle, and the rolling mountains could be faintly seen in the distance.
"Lady Goliath, let's go first!"
Zhao Xi drove his mount and stepped forward, and after greeting Golia, he then led the Raising Eyebrows team to change direction and part ways with the large army.
Soon, they saw the boulder castle shrouded in the setting sun.
This kind of castle seems to be no different from when Zhao Xi left, except that the battle flag planted on the city wall has turned into a black skeleton horseman, and the half-orcs patrolling the city wall can be seen from a long distance.
In order to avoid alarming the enemy, Zhao Xi led the team far around the rear of the castle.
The Giant Rock Castle was built on the mountain, it was backed by a mountain, surrounded by a moat in front, if it wasn't for the strength of the legion sent by the demons at that time, and the Clarence army was isolated, otherwise it would be absolutely no problem to hold on for a while.
Now that it has fallen into the hands of the demons, it is undoubtedly very difficult to regain it.
"My lord, the entrance to my digging is here!"
Under the guidance of the goblin Grum, Zhao Xi easily found the tunnel excavated in advance, which was hundreds of meters away from the castle and in a small forest, so it was quite hidden.
The entrance to the tunnel was covered with tree branches, and when it was opened, a black crater was immediately revealed.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Xi was the first to jump down, and the lighting stone lit up in his hand, evenly illuminating the dark tunnel.
Fang Xu, the prodigal son of the border city, and Ouyang Duan, the six members of the Raising Eyebrows team, followed closely behind.
"Wait for me, sir!"
Groom was the last to jump into the tunnel, as if he was afraid that Zhao Xi would drop him, and his movements were so agile that he didn't look like a goblin at all.
Less than 10 minutes after Grum had slipped into the tunnel, a team quietly appeared in the grove.
The team numbered more than forty people, knights, warriors, mages, archers, priests, and thieves in a neat class, and there were clearly five squads.
The nine members of one of the teams are all beautiful women, either charming and sexy or pure and sexy, especially the female knight in the lead, who is even more beautiful and heroic.
And beside this female knight, there was also a masked female mage, who was wearing a black robe with a staff in her hand, and her bare eyes had a gloomy color.
An archer quickly walked to the entrance of the tunnel, looked cautiously inside, and whispered, "That's it! BOSS, are we going to follow? ”
The female mage shook her head and said, "No, we'll stay at the entrance of the cave and wait for them to come out on their own!" ”
The female knight hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sister Hua, how do you know that they will come back, in case they break through the Giant Rock Castle, this set of tunnels will be useless!" ”
The female mage's eyes showed a hint of pride, and she said slowly: "I haven't sued you yet, they have no chance to win, maybe the people inside can clean them up without us taking action." ”
"But that guy is too difficult, we can't be prepared without a back hand, the front and back were blocked before, this time unless he plugs in his wings, it will be a catastrophe!"
"Is that really the case?"
As soon as her words fell, a voice rang out! ――
