Alien Knights

That old guy from Cumberland brought the cavalry out of town? The expression on Earl Gnar's face was half happy, half regretful: Without that guy who gets in the way, the success rate of our plan will be greatly improved! However, we cannot He caught everything and made me a little...

Bai Ansi knocked on the floor with his cane, and coughed loudly because he was anxious: Ahem! Ahem! Stop talking nonsense! As the chief implementer of the plan, there are only three of us in this meeting, and the final plan must be finalized as soon as possible , we are running out of time!

Rutledge tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and said calmly: Earl Gnar, I think the Minister of Internal Affairs is right. The most important thing right now is to seize the time and start the plan as soon as possible.

Bai Ansi rubbed his chest vigorously, while holding his breath, he signaled Rutledge to continue.

Rutledge nodded slightly at the old man, and continued: Cumberland took away all the heterogeneous cavalry of the Knights this time. This group of people will go to Silver Ring City and return. Counting the journey and combat time, the most ideal situation Now, we only have four days...

Earl Gnar, who looked worried, questioned: Four days? Silver Ring City has our 6,000 troops! They have a city wall, how could they lose to a group of cavalry!

Rutledge shrugged helplessly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous remarks in the world.

During these four days, we have a lot to do. Rutledge said, wringing his fingers. First, we must control the barracks. This is the most critical step.

In Muxi City, there are a total of four barracks, namely the Muxi Knights, the North Island Knights, the City Security Team, and the Royal Navy.

Cumberland took away all the cronies of the Muxi Knights, and there are already many people in the remaining army that we bought in advance. Before the plan is implemented, we only need to replace the gates of the barracks, the armory, and those in the duty team. Soldiers on duty will have no trouble controlling the barracks. Therefore, the Muxi Knights are not a problem.

As for the City Security Team and the Royal Navy, these two barracks are inferior to the Muxi Knights in terms of scale and defense, so they are easy to deal with.

Only the North Island Knights are a little trickier...

Earl Gnar asked again: The Knights of the North Island are just a group of pirates who only know how to drink and fight. How can it be difficult to deal with this bunch of waste?

Rutledge unconsciously drew a cross on the table with his finger: The group of pirates from the North Island, their leader is a woman called a Valkyrie, and the deputy leader is a berserker. They believe in the teachings of the gods, and their loyalty to the Holy King is beyond our imagination. However, they are weak and there are not many people, so it should not be a problem.

Rutledge went on to say: After the four barracks are settled, the next thing to do is to block the roads, namely the sea road and the land road.

On the sea route, after controlling the barracks of the Royal Navy, a coalition force composed of eleven pirate organizations will pass through the Torrent Strait and directly break into the port, completely blocking the entire sea area. As for the land route, the mercenary regiment of the mountain tribe, the The soldiers of our army in Qiaozhuang, the defenders in our city, as well as the private soldiers and guards of the Yinhuan old minister family and the merchant group, will each block the routes out of the city in different directions. Regarding the relevant division of labor, Mr. Bai Ansi There are already detailed plans, so I won’t talk about them here.”

Speaking of this, Rutledge took a long breath: If things go smoothly to this point, it means that our plan has been mostly successful.

The next step is to arrest all members of the current cabinet and their cronies, and control most of the important buildings in the city.

The last and most difficult part. Rutledge paused for a while, looked at Bai Ansi and Gnar and said softly: Attack the king's city.

As the palace where the Holy King resides—the Muxi King City is the center of power in this kingdom and the spiritual pillar of all citizens. Only by taking down the King City and killing the Holy King can we say that we have won, otherwise everything is empty talk.

Rutledge frowned, and said seriously: The Muxi Palace was built at the highest point of Muxi City. The design of the castle and the city defense structure were jointly designed by Master Terrence and hundreds of scholars. It consists of three parts: the outer city wall, the central area, and the inner palace, moats, arrow towers, military paths, traps... as long as you can think of defensive methods, Muxi King City has everything you need.

Seeing the headaches of the other two, Rutledge shook his head and said, Do you think this is the end? The most terrifying thing about attacking Muxi King City is not the city defense, but the defenders. It is completely made of alien guards. The legion not only swears allegiance to the king until death, but also is comparable to the Muxi Knights in terms of combat effectiveness. Even the most ordinary guard can easily defeat a regular army squad.

Earl Gnar was a little depressed: According to what you said, it is impossible for us to capture the royal city.

Rutledge laughed: We don't need to capture the king's city, we just need to kill the king.

Earl Gnar sneered: If you don't capture the king's city, how can you see the king?

Rutledge looked to Bonance, who gave him a slight nod.

Rutledge said in a deep voice: The Dawson family has been funding the scholars of Muxi University over the years, helping them build laboratories, purchase equipment, pay assistants, and print books for free. The biggest reason is not charity, but It is these scholars who have what we want most—the architectural structure diagram of the royal city.”

When Terrence designed the royal city back then, in order to keep it secret, he deliberately split the design into hundreds of irrelevant pieces and handed them over to different people for design. Logically speaking, this method is indeed very safe. However, he may have forgotten one thing.

The Dawson family obtained fragments of the royal city's structural diagram through various methods, and rebuilt the royal city by stacking blocks. They found that there were many empty grey spaces in the inner palace. Restoring these unknown rooms and passages, we found that these places are exactly the secret chambers and secret passages that Terrence designed for the Holy King!

Earl Gnar understood the other party's thoughts: You mean, we can enter the inner palace through the secret passage and directly reach the king's bedroom.

Not only that, after further exploration of the royal city, the Dawson family discovered that there are some traps and secret doors in the secret passage. Using them can not only prevent people from outside from entering, but also prevent people from the inner palace from going out. Rat Leach smiled and said: So, using these designs, we can in turn block the guards on the outer edge of the king's city and the central area from the gate of the inner palace, cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the king's city, and buy time for us to defeat the Holy King.

Earl Gnar clapped his hands and applauded: This is great!

Bai Ansi rolled his eyes: There is another question, who will be responsible for killing the Holy King through the secret passage?

Count Gnar touched his chin and fell silent.

Rutledge sighed: I'll go. I have led soldiers and fought in battles before, and I am familiar with the structure of the royal city.

Bai Ansi nodded gratifiedly and said: If this surprise attack is successful, the Dawson family's contribution will be the first. I hereby promise that when the flag of the Silver Ring Kingdom flies over Muxi City, I will represent Your Majesty and grant Daoist The title of the hereditary prince of the Ersen family!

Rutledge nodded slightly and murmured thanks.

Stirred by the word hereditary prince, Earl Gnar suddenly said loudly: For the Silver Ring Kingdom, I am willing to go to the palace with Rutledge Dawson!

Rutledge glanced at Earl Nall in surprise, then lowered his head and smiled.
