Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Secret Raid
"Alright, we're also going to get ready to go," Selena, the head of the female knights, who was in charge of the surprise attack plan, had already drawn the knight's sword at her waist, "Wait a minute, my church knights will follow my side and walk in front, while Deputy Head Marven will lead his men in the back, and the four of you will be in the middle." After Selena finished speaking, she took the map in one hand and the knight's sword in the other, and led more than forty knights to the mountainside of the Split Mountain Range.
Marven looked away from the moon shield around Fed's waist, and then returned to the dozens of hired knights, ready to go.
"Let's go too. After Fidel had finished speaking to the other three, he followed the Church Knight and began to set off for the entrance indicated on the map.
After half an hour's walk, the surprise attack force of a little more than 100 people came to a cliff side in the mountains. From this vantage point, you can't see the nearby Rivercastle, but snow has already begun to accumulate in this location, making some people feel so cold that they can't help but rub their hands incessantly.
"That entrance is ahead, you follow closely," Selena had already had some of her men light the torches that had been prepared, "I'll send a few men to guard this hole." ”
"Rashad has mentioned that when we evacuate, we will destroy this secret passage. Fed said.
Selena pointed at Marven with her finger, "That Marven will take care of this, don't worry! ”
Fed'd didn't know how Marven would use to close the secret passage, perhaps it had something to do with the lilac plate armor on his body, which looked like an enchanted weapon no matter how it looked. Before leaving the blacksmith shop in his hometown, Master Gimon mentioned to Fidel that there are many types of enchanted weapons in this world, and some of them can have incredible powers, so you must be cautious of your opponents with enchanted weapons. This reminder kept Fidel on guard against all kinds of strange-looking weapons, and he himself used "silence" to remove the enchantment from the golden shield that Cheddy used to save his life, so the unknown and uncertainty of the enchantment became a key factor in the battle between the strong.
After following Selena's men into the secret passage, the body temperature of the four began to rise. In the secret passages in the mountains, the air is getting a little damp, and some steam is seeping out from the wet walls, making Avi, who has become a little nervous, sweat profusely. Feder unslashed his sword from his hands behind his back, recalling the only meeting the butler Giggets had before he died. The other party didn't seem to be very loyal to Hollis, and in the end he did leave this secret passage for the Church Alliance. It stands to reason that Hollis should have known that his butler had been caught, so would he be aware that we had been informed of the whereabouts of this secret passage?
Thinking of this, Fidel began to think about another question, this secret passage is really only known to Giggies, and if it is, then it is really a deadly secret passage. This direct passage to the castle tower will surprise Hollis or the commander of the reinforcements in the tower.
While Fidel was thinking, he and Avi had already reached the end of the passage. Selena, who was walking in front, had already turned around, "At the end of the passage in front is a cabinet that can be opened from the inside, my subordinates will go in first and take a look, wait a minute." ”
Not long after, one of the knights returned to the aisle, holding a torch, and said to Selena, "Outside is the middle floor of the tower, which looks like a kitchen, but the kitchen is not large enough, and our brothers are almost full. ”
Selena asked some of the church knights to return to the passage, and then led Fede and the others through the large cabinet to the tower kitchen.
There are still some ingredients in this kitchen that are placed next to the stove, and it seems that the chef here will have to get food for the lords in the evening. Other than that, there wasn't much furnishings in the room, and even though the kitchen looked empty, there were already more than twenty church knights standing here with Field, and it was already quite crowded.
"It's going to be more crowded inside the castle than it is here, isn't it?" said a chuckle of a church knight.
"It's a good thing they didn't squeeze into this kitchen. Another church knight echoed the other's quips.
Selena suggested that her subordinates take a look outside, as she didn't know the inner workings of the tower, but judging from the tower, the kitchen was about one-sixth the size of the first floor of the tower, which meant that there would be other rooms on this floor.
Fide nodded in agreement, and he began to touch the Moon Shield, the life weapon, with his hand. The reason why he did this was because he wanted to see if he would feel like he had last time, and he would be able to perceive the existence of another life weapon. If you feel the other party because you are wearing a moon shield, will the other party also perceive you?
Selena sent six knights out through the kitchen door, and within a minute, the two church knights pressed the two servants back. Seeing this, the other church knights immediately walked out of the kitchen of their own accord and stood guard on this floor.
"Don't kill us!" said one of the maids, who saw the heavily armed knight, fell to her knees in fright, and could not say anything but that. The manservant who was arrested with him was even more frightened and immediately incontinent, wetting the ground with urine, which made the female knight can't help frowning.
"Tell me where this tower lives?" Selena placed the knight's sword around the maid's neck, demanding that the other raise her head to answer the question.
"It's the tower where Lord Juan lives" The maid raised her head, not daring to look at the knight chief in front of her, but set her eyes on Ayana, and only Ayana and Avi looked relatively kind.
Selena glanced back at the food piled up on the stove, she had already heard from Rashad that Juan, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements of the East Oguna Empire, was a very fat nobleman, and it seemed that the maid was not lying, "Then let me ask you, where is he now? Is Viscount Hollis in another tower?" she pressed hard, and cut a bloody mark on the knight's shoulder with the knight's sword.
The maid immediately fell to the ground again, not daring to raise her head, "Is it that Viscount Hollis is in this tower now?"
"Here?!"
"Yes, yes"
Selena and Fid exchanged a look, and Deputy Head Marvin, who had entered the kitchen at the same time, also heard the maid's words. This is great news!Two targets appeared in this lord's tower at the same time, so needless to say, these two people must be discussing important matters in the middle of the night, if they were not mistaken, the two of them would never have thought that the surprise team sent by the Church Alliance was here right now.
"Are they upstairs?" Selena wanted to make sure of the last point.
"That's right," the maid's words fell, and Selena's sword swung at the opponent's neck, separating the opponent's throat with a sword. The other manservant was also killed by a knight of the Church behind him with a sword piercing his chest.
Avi looked at Selena in surprise, wondering why she was attacking the defenseless.
"Let's attack it immediately, Marven, you go to the bottom of the tower and defend!"
"No, I'll go up too. There was a hint of weirdness in Marvin's eyes.
