"Did that old guy from Cumberland lead the cavalry out of the city?" The look on Earl Narr's face was half thankful and half pity: "Without that troublesome guy, the success rate of our plan will be greatly improved! However, we cannot
He caught them all in one fell swoop, which made me feel a little..."
Bo Ansi knocked on the floor with his cane and coughed loudly out of anxiety: "Cough! Cough cough! Stop talking nonsense! As the primary executor of the plan, there are only three of us in this meeting, and we must make a final plan as soon as possible.
, we don’t have much time!”
Rutledge tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly: "Earl Narr, I think the Minister of the Interior is right. The most important thing right now is to seize the time and start the plan as soon as possible."
Boans touched his chest hard, and while breathing slowly, he motioned for Rutledge to continue speaking.
Rutledge nodded slightly to the old man and continued: "Cumberland took away all the alien cavalry of the Knights this time. This group of people went to Silver Ring City and back. Taking into account the travel and combat time, the ideal situation is
Come on, we only have four days..."
Earl Nar, who looked confused, questioned: "Four days? There are six thousand of our troops in Silver Ring City! They have city walls, how could they lose to a group of cavalry!"
Rutledge shrugged helplessly, as if he had heard the most ridiculous statement in the world.
"In these four days, we have a lot to do." Rutledge said with his fingers crossed: "First, we must control the military camp. This is the most critical step."
"There are a total of four military camps in Muxi City, namely Muxi Knights, North Island Knights, City Security Team, and Kingdom Navy."
"Cumberland took away all the cronies in the Muxi Knights. The remaining army already has many people we bribed in advance. Before the plan is implemented, we only need to replace the barracks gate, armory, and those in the duty team.
Soldiers on duty will have no trouble controlling the military camp. Therefore, the Muxi Knights are not a problem."
"As for the city security team and the kingdom's navy, these two military camps 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 more difficult..."
Count Nar asked again: "The North Island Knights 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 trash?"
Rutledge unconsciously made a cross on the table with his finger: "That group of pirates from the North Island, their leader is a woman called Valkyrie, and their 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 their number is small, so it should not be a problem."
Rutledge continued: "After solving the four military camps, the next thing to do is to block the roads, namely the sea route and the land route."
"On the sea route, after taking control of the Royal Navy's military camp, the coalition composed of eleven pirate organizations will pass through the rapids, directly break into the port, and completely block the entire sea area. As for the land route, the mercenary groups of the mountain tribes will enter the city.
Me in Qiaozhuang
Army soldiers, the city garrison who have taken refuge with us, as well as the private soldiers and guards of the Yinhuan old minister family and business group, will block the routes out of the city in different directions. Regarding the relevant division of labor, Mr. Bo Ansi has already provided detailed information
I won’t talk about the plan for now.”
At this point, Rutledge let out a sigh of relief: "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 take control of most important buildings in the city."
"The last and most difficult part." Rutledge paused for a while, looked at Boans and Nall and said softly: "Attack the royal city."
"As the palace where the Holy King resides, Muxi Royal City is the center of power of this kingdom and the spiritual pillar of all citizens. Only by capturing the Royal City and killing the Holy King can we say we have won, otherwise everything will be empty talk.
"
Rutledge frowned and said seriously: "Muxi Palace is built at the highest point of Muxi City. The castle design and city defense structure were originally designed by Master Terrence and hundreds of scholars. The royal city is divided into two parts.
It consists of three parts: the outer city wall, the middle area and the inner palace, moat, arrow tower, military paths, traps... As long as you can think of defensive means, Muxi King City has it all."
Seeing the other two people having headaches, 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. They are completely made of alien guards.
The legion not only swore 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 Nar 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 royal city, we just need to kill the king."
Earl Nar sneered: "If you don't capture the royal city, how can you see the king?"
Rutledge looked at Boans, who nodded slightly to him.
Rutledge said in a deep voice: "The Dolson family has been funding scholars at Muxi University over the years, helping them build laboratories, purchase equipment, pay assistants' salaries, and print books for free. The biggest reason is not charity, but
It is these scholars who have what we want most—the architectural structural drawings of the royal city."
"When Terrence was designing the royal city, in order to keep it secret, he deliberately split the design into hundreds of unrelated fragments 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 Dolson family obtained fragments of the royal city's structural map through various methods, and rebuilt the royal city by stacking blocks. They found that many places in the inner palace were empty "grey spaces." Through
Restore these unknown rooms and passages, and we find that these places are exactly the secret rooms and passages designed by Terrence for the Holy King!"
Earl Nar somewhat understood what the other party was thinking: "You mean, we can enter the inner palace through the secret passage and directly reach the king's palace."
"Not only that, after further exploration of the royal city, the Dolson family discovered that there are some mechanisms and secret doors in the secret passage. Using them, they can not only prevent people from outside from coming in, but also prevent people from the inner palace from leaving." Larter
Leach smiled and said: "So, using these designs, we can in turn block the guards on the outer edge and central area of the royal city from outside the inner palace gate, cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the royal city, and buy time for us to defeat the Holy King.
"
Count Nar clapped his hands and said, "This is great!"
Bo Ansi rolled his eyes: "There is another question, who will be responsible for killing the Holy King through the secret passage?"
Count Nar touched his chin and fell into silence.
Rutledge sighed: "It's better for me to go. I have led troops and fought in battles before, and I am also familiar with the structure of the royal city."
Bo Ansi nodded happily and said: "If this surprise attack is successful, the Dolson family's contribution will be at the top of the list. I hereby promise that when the flag of the Silver Ring Kingdom flies over Duixi City, I will, on behalf of His Majesty, award the Dao
The title of the hereditary prince of the Ersen family!"
Rutledge nodded slightly and thanked in a low voice.
Being stimulated by the word hereditary prince, Earl Nar suddenly said loudly: "For the sake of the Silver Ring Kingdom, I am willing to go to the palace with Rutledge Dolson!"
Rutledge glanced at Count Nar with some surprise, then lowered his head and smiled.
