While gaining the support of His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Regiment, Rashad also proposed a more definite goal of the surprise attack - to find Hollis or the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements of the East Oguna Empire, and then take him hostage out of the secret passage and bring him back to Crafeld City. Rashad took out the map left by the butler, and said that he had sent some spies to the entrance of the secret passage, which was located just halfway up the Split Snowy Mountain, and would not be detected by the Rivercastle. According to the map, this secret passage leads to the location of the castle's tower.

Normally, the castle's towers are not connected to the adjacent hills, but this riverbank castle was built just like that. Generally speaking, the location of the tower is where the castle leader lives, and according to the scouts' reports, there are only two towers in the castle, one of which is built on a mountain, and it is estimated that this tower is the one that connects to the secret passage.

The map also revealed another piece of information, which was that the tower had only one entrance at the bottom for its defense, and that the secret passage was another entrance that no one knew about. In this way, a plan was established - controlling the entrance at the bottom from inside the tower would control the entire tower. Since there are two towers in the castle, it is highly likely that the Viscount Hollis and the commander-in-chief of the East Oguna Empire will live in separate towers.

The total length of this secret passage is about 300 meters, and the passage can only allow two people to walk side by side at most, and the width of the entire passage is basically the same, so Rashad has already planned to close this passage after the surprise attack is successful, so that the enemy will not catch up with them.

"If you can catch the leader of a castle, what is next?" Fidel asked.

"The next step is negotiation, if we capture Hollis, the other side will definitely consider signing a surrender agreement directly, if we capture the reinforcement command, then those Imperial soldiers in the castle will also have unpredictable actions. ”

Rassad's words are full of flaws, and both the target of the surprise attack and the plan after success are very weak. The only thing that makes sense is that the real target of the other party is only to target the weapon of life, and no one is sure if Rashad will have a private plan with others such as General Guillermo of the Kingdom of Salins. So in the face of such a situation, Fei De had already rejected the other party in his heart, and there was nothing to continue to understand about this secret raid plan.

"No, I'm not going to let my men get involved," Fidel stood up, preparing to leave the room where there were only two people now, "I wish you success." ”

When Rashad saw that Fide was about to leave, he immediately whispered, "If you are willing to help me, I can tell you about that girl." ”

Fett was stunned, he didn't look back, just stood still.

"Girl?"

"It's your warden Koth, and her brother... Oh, no, it's a personal guard. ”

When Lashad said this, it obviously showed that he had learned the identity of the daughter of Duke Cose, could it be the Pope's hand? Fide hesitated in his heart, although he had said to himself many times in his heart that what happened to Coss in the future had nothing to do with him, but why now...

"I think you're still curious to know, and I'll tell you everything I know if you're willing to take part in this surprise attack," Rashad also stood up and looked at Field's back, "I swear in the name of my Heavenly Father that if I tell a lie, I will die with a thousand swords and pain." His tone was firm, and Fidel could already feel the breath behind him - the other man was holding his breath, and it seemed that Rashad really wanted to help.

"Give me a moment to think about it. ”

"All right," said Lashad as he walked in front of Fidd, and whispered, "tonight is the time for our action, and if you and your men go to the west of the city of Crafi by twelve o'clock, you will be deemed to have agreed to participate." ”

Fid closed his eyes and waited until Rashad left. The moment he closed his eyes, the voice and smile of Kesi appeared in his mind again, and the other party called him "potato". The girl who once said that she would always be by her side is far away, could it be that she is now in a situation where she needs herself very much?

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the deputy head of the Church Order, Rassad, had arrived along the river, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that Fide had indeed arrived, and that Fide had brought a few men with him.

"Very well, I knew that the Chief would stand up and be loyal to the Papal States and the Pope. Rashad praised a mercenary as if he were a loyal knight, and he didn't know whether to find it ridiculous or lamentable.

In addition to Avi and Patrick, who are bent on coming, there is also Ayana. Fei De originally planned to wait for his subordinates to fall asleep before bringing the two of them here, but he didn't expect that Ayana was already standing in front of the door of the residence, almost scaring Avi to death. Ayana didn't say a word, she just brought all the arrows in the quiver on her back, and from her expression, she was not afraid of this night attack at all.

Standing alone by the river, Rashad looked behind Fed, made sure there was no one else, and continued, "You four continue in that direction for a while," he said, gesturing to the foot of the Split Mountains to the southwest. Marvin and Selena, along with their best warriors, have arrived, and will be heading for the entrance to the secret passage on the mountain at one o'clock, and I have given the map to Selena, and I have ambushed five thousand men near the foot of the mountain, even if the soldiers of those castles rush out and try to intercept you, it will not be possible. ”

Fei De and the others all nodded, and Avi didn't come out on horseback this time, so the four of them traveled lightly and moved in the direction of the southwest.

"Why didn't the deputy head of the regiment, Rashad, go himself?" asked Avi casually.

Patrick thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he has other things to do, after all, we have become someone else's pawn now, but we can't see the opponent and the other chess pieces around us." The metaphor made Avi feel a little hairy, and as he continued to make his way to the base of the Split Mountains, the weather got worse, and Avi shivered in the cold nights.

"Why don't you come with that big-nosed buddy?" asked Patrick.

"He's afraid of the cold. Avi then replied. In fact, before coming, Fei De had already told Avi and Patrick that the apparent and actual goals of this mission - Selena, the female knight leader, and Marvin, the deputy head of the royal knight mercenary group, were very likely to come for the life weapon shown on the intelligence. So before leaving the residence, Avi quietly told Big-Nose Fan about it, after all, they were sent to the Moon Shield Mercenary Regiment by Miss Delia in order to track the whereabouts of the life weapon Moon Shield, and now another possible life weapon is in front of him, so Big-Nosed Fan allowed Avi to go, and he also gave Avi the ejection iron gun he was carrying, telling him that he must come back alive and give him the iron gun back.

Before arriving at the meeting place, Fidel told the three that the most important task this time was to save their lives and not recklessly enter the encirclement. You must know that the number of people in this operation was only a few hundred at best, while there were tens of thousands of soldiers inside the rivercastle. Even if it is the elite of the elite, it is impossible to fight against such a large number of enemies, so in order to obtain the information about Kosi in Rashad's mouth, Fielder only wants to work but not work, and just watch the fire from the other side.

The other three, of course, agreed that they were not interested in the fruits of the Church Alliance's victory or any weapon of life, and most importantly to protect themselves.

"Is it Avi?!!, and the chief leader?" the female knight captain Selena saw the four of them first and shouted loudly, but her voice was covered by the gradual wind and snow, and became very quiet.

Avi saw this partner who had been fighting side by side with him some time ago, and felt very cordial. This female knight, who has a habit of combing her long blonde hair into multiple braids and curling them together, is very gentle, not only does she care for her subordinates, but she also treats mercenaries very well, and Avi treats her like a brother protected by the other party. During the period of heading towards the castle between the rivers, Selena also told Avi, an eighteen-year-old boy, a lot about the customs of the Papal States, and also taught some knightly things to the other party, which made Avi full of gratitude to Selena in his heart. Therefore, Avi especially wanted to remind Selena in his heart that she must be careful in this mission.

And the man in pure purple plate armor standing next to Selena was Marven of the Mercenary Guild. Malvern has the temperament of a noble knight, and in addition to the ornate plate armor, the two well-groomed brown mustaches on his mouth also highlight this temperament. The two slender swords at Malvin's waist did not have scabbards, and it seemed that the deputy commander, who was accustomed to dual-wielding weapons, was a very warlike and nimble warrior.

In addition to these two, there were some mercenaries and knights not far behind them who planned this surprise attack. Fei De roughly counted in his heart, there should only be a little more than a hundred people, then these guys are definitely people who can be ten with one. Although His Majesty's Knight Mercenary Group is a mercenary group, but they are all knight-born guys, so all the subordinates who participated in the plan this time are knights, and they don't know if there will be any particularly eye-catching performance tonight without war horses?

"I'm Fiddle, the chief head of the Church Union. Fett walked up to Marvin and Selena and introduced himself.

Marvin had seen Feder at the last meeting of the Church Alliance, and he didn't pay much attention to Feder at the time, except for a few glances at the black armor on the other party's body, but this time Marvin stared at the notched shield on Fed's waist, as if he was surprised by seeing a meteor appear in the sky.
