Volume 2 Wild Ambition Chapter 66 Three Small Cities (Part II)

"Supplementary plan?" Quirรณ frowned, his handsome features instantly filled with boredom, as if he had heard someone ask him to do more and better.

Fidel nodded, "Allocate me three thousand mercenaries, and I plan to take them to the rear of Crafi City, which is next to the river." As he spoke, he pointed to the map in the tent, a river that separated the river castle from the three cities. The river is a few kilometres behind the city of Crafeld, but it is quite a bit away from the castle between the rivers.

Jennifer, the female leader of the Shepherd Dog Mercenary Regiment, looked up and asked, "Are you trying to catch the noble lords who want to escape?"

"If someone is going to support Craveth City, then this is the most likely location for the River Crossing Soldiers," Fielder said, shaking his head at Jennifer, "Based on the current information, we have no way of knowing why the Road City and Hana City ahead did not react on alert, but I believe that Viscount Hollis of Riverland Castle already knew about our movements." โ€

In a battle, both sides have a crucial grasp of each other's movements and the acquisition of information. So after hearing such an analysis from Fidel, both Kiro and Jennifer had to revisit the night's raid. However, Arturas, the leader of the servant mercenary group, immediately stood up and said in disagreement: "What do you know about a boy in your twenties? We first sent an overwhelming army to take Lutu City and Hana City, and then lined up outside Crafeld City, and the lord of that small city was not so frightened that he fled immediately? There is no need to attack it at all!"

It is also possible that the situation mentioned by Arturas is also possible, and it is certainly best to not spend a single soldier. In order to avoid more quarrels between the two, the knight chief Kiro said: "The chief commander's suggestion can be considered, but it is really a bit dangerous to send 3,000 people to the enemy's rear rashly," in Kiro's heart, he preferred to follow the strategy set by the commander of Satnam, and this group of mercenaries responsible for "opening the way" only needed to be obediently executed," In this case, we will divide the sixteen mercenary groups of the Einsatzgruppen into two parts, led by me and Fidel, respectively, and surround the city of Craefi from both sides of the two small cities in front. In this way, it was possible to cover the main forces of the vanguard regiment. Second, it is also more mobile, and can react quickly even when it encounters the Imperial cavalry. โ€

Fidel thought for a moment and agreed to Kiro's proposal. And because of the discussion of the five people, it was already dark outside, and the planned night attack was about to be executed. However, as Fed prepares to return to his mercenary group, Arturas finds him from behind.

"You're trying to kill us, aren't you?" Arturus tried to push Fed, but Feder sensed the approaching man and immediately turned to look at Arturas.

"Nope. โ€

Arturas immediately became angry when he saw Fidel's understated reaction and expressionless face, he grabbed the "Black Flash" neck guard, and said viciously: "You guy, I have long seen that you are not pleasing to the eye, you must be a spy sent by the Pope!"

The head of the regiment in front of him did not shy away from the contradictory relationship between the pope and the archbishop, and directly pointed it out, which made Fei De feel a little surprised, "As the head of a large regiment, you should know how to respect." Fed's gloved fingers opened and closed, and he was still patient.

At this moment, an arrow without an iron arrow flew over Arturus's head, and if the bald regiment had any hair, he might have been shot by the arrow.

"Let go of our deputy commander!" Ayana and Nur stood at a distance, while the one shouting was Noor, who just stared at Arturas like a prey.

The bald head snorted and then turned to leave, and he looked back at Fidel from time to time, presumably the same way he had when he offended the Pope.

In addition to Nur and Ayana, Marcus and the others also came over.

"Deputy Head Fidel, are you alright?"

"That guy is really arrogant, if it weren't for the mercenaries with thousands of people behind him, I would have gone up and done him just now!"

Feder didn't say anything about Arturas, he just said to his men, "Tonight is a night attack on those three small cities, you get ready." โ€

Marcus asked, "Aren't we sitting in the rear, what do we need to prepare?"

Nur also said: "Yes, the mercenaries sent tens of thousands of people on each side can't take the first two small cities, and the inhabitants of those cities are probably not even comparable to the number of our mercenaries." โ€

"It looks like this, but there is something strange about the city of Crafeld in the back, and no one can be sure that there will not be a large ambush there. After hearing the decision of the other leaders, Fidel wanted to send scouts to investigate whether there were ambushes hiding near the river, but his subordinates did not even have a horse rider, so he had to put this plan on hold.

After about half an hour, "Sharp Paw" and Arturus left with their troops, and ran directly to the unguarded cities of Lutu and Hana. Before leaving, Arturas also boasted about Haikou, saying that he would take the city of Hana and the city of Krefeld at the same time tonight with his own troops, and the other regimental commanders only needed to sit in the tent and quietly watch him make meritorious contributions.

Kiro headed south with his hundreds of knights and the general Einsatzgruppen, and before he set out, he specially assigned fifty knights to be on Fidel's side. Nominally, it was to coordinate the two armies, but in fact it was to protect and monitor Kesi. Jennifer and Feder headed north, serving as backup for JourneyCity.

"In my opinion, it's good that we're all on the same page, why do we have to leave so much combat power behind?" Although Jennifer is a woman, her combat style is very brave, just like the fierce and vicious sheepdog beside her, which is rare in the circle of mercenaries and sheepdogs.

"This will prevent you from being caught in an ambush. Fidel explained lightly.

"Hmph, if the strength is not as good as the people, even if there are more special groups, they will still be wiped out!" Jennifer raised her whip and threw it on the ground, and the dust that was raised blew into the face of Cos, who was standing behind, "I said, you guy looks quite strong, why are you always timid, not manly at all?

Feder didn't answer, just walked silently forward in the night.

"I don't understand, why the Pope wants to appoint you as the chief leader, I don't see anything outstanding about you and your mercenary group! It's a pity that I wasn't in the Heads of Mission meeting that day," Jennifer poked the "black flash" on Fed's body with her finger, "Although your proposal is debatable, Satnam's leadership talent has always been recognized in the Papal States, and you will have to wait a little longer if you want to be in the limelight." โ€

Fyld ignored her, and the scout who came running from a distance shouted at Fylde and Jennifer, "We've stormed Pathway! The guards there are vulnerable! Lord 'Sharpclaw' has captured the lord there!"

Jennifer laughed, she took a gold coin from her clothes, threw it to the messenger, and asked her subordinates to spread the good news to the back. When the mercenaries of the eight mercenary groups behind them heard this good news, they all raised their torches, laughed or shouted loudly. Unexpectedly, this had just stepped into the territory of the East Oguna Empire, and so easily took the city on the front line, they had left the buffer zone less than three hours ago, and the moon had not yet risen in mid-air, and "Sharp Claw" tore the prelude to victory with his sharp steel claws.

"Yes, although this guy is rude and insidious, I didn't expect him to be the first to complete the task," Jennifer flicked her whip and kicked up some dust, "I knew it would be so easy, and I would have followed, and the archbishop would definitely look at me differently at that time!"

At this moment, Avi and the others had already made a detour to the outskirts of the rivercastle, and the female knight chief Selena was dismounting to check the traces of dirt on the ground.

"It seems that a large cavalry has passed here, and from the direction of the horse's hooves, it must have moved in the direction of the three cities between the rivers. Avi also checked, his torch in one hand and the other gently sweeping the sand across the ground.

"The cavalry was dispatched. Selena and Avi exchanged glances, then said in unison.
