Chapter 25 Raid Battalion

The night of November 4th.

In the shadows outside Ladysmith, walking on the potholed road, Karl felt uncomfortable now.

From the original plan to cross the border peacefully, to now sneaking into the enemy camp late at night, this change is too big!

In the staff office, after Herbert saw the contents of the intelligence, he immediately made suggestions, saying that they could help the army deal with the Boer generals besieging Ladysmith and relieve the dilemma faced by General George.

But General Redvers needs to give up the restraint on Herbert after they complete this task, so that they can continue to complete their journey to defeat the false gods.

After careful consideration, the old general finally agreed to Herbert's proposal.

After discussing various issues, they came to Ladysmith this morning.

Therefore, Karl and the others finally met the Lieutenant General George mentioned before.

Because of the defeat, the lieutenant general was very anxious. After learning the purpose of Karl and others coming here, he immediately described the current battle situation clearly, including the location of the main Boer troops and his guess.

The location of the enemy general.

So after nightfall, when the ether in the air recovered enough for them to fight normally, the three people left Ladysmith under Lieutenant General George's expectant eyes.

If Karl's plan tonight fails, it will probably be around mid-November when the expeditionary force actually sends reinforcements. Lieutenant General George does not want to see this happen.

At the same time, after the failure of the siege in the past few days, the Boers were not idle. They sent a large number of reconnaissance troops around the town to detect the movements of the British army and whether there was large-scale support. These people closely monitored Lai

The turbulence of Dissmith.

It is precisely for this reason that Karl and the others are now far away from the main road and hiding in the surrounding dark mountains to approach the Boer camp.

But even though they were so careful, Karl and the others encountered Boer scouts more than once. In order to ensure that they were not discovered, they spent a lot of effort to bypass these ordinary people.

By the time the three people arrived at the camp in the intelligence, nearly five hours had passed since they left Ladysmith.

Hiding in the shadow of the woods, they quietly observed the military camp in front of them.

There are at least thousands of people in this temporary camp. Within their sight, except for the soldiers standing guard, night patrol teams will pass by every minute or so. It can be said that the precautions are very tight.

Looking at the camp in front of him, Karl whispered to his companions: "With a camp of this size and level of defense, I think Lieutenant General George's estimate should be correct. The guy named Joubert is probably here."

After looking at Karl, Cyril also said:

"There will be patrols passing by here every minute. Even if we get rid of the guys at the fixed post, I'm afraid they will be discovered quickly. By then we won't have enough time to find the enemy in such a large military camp. It's best to think of someone who can

Sneak in without being noticed."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Herbert took off his wooden box from his back without saying a word, and then held the weapon in his hand.

"I will go to the other side to create chaos. You will find the right opportunity to go in and find the target, and then deal with him."

Pointing to the military camp in front and the shadow of the mountain behind, Herbert continued:

"After completing our respective goals, we will leave here in the fastest direction and leave this area directly. We will meet at the top of Nicholson Canyon before the sun sets tomorrow."

After telling the work in an understated manner, Herbert walked directly along the shadows to the other side without waiting for a reply. He seemed to be very confident in the abilities of Karl and the others.

As for the Nicholson Canyon he mentioned, it was the place where Lieutenant General George was defeated. Starting from here, it would only take them less than half a day to get there, so it could be said that they had plenty of time left.

So Carl and the two waited here quietly. As long as Herbert made a move, that would be the time for them to rush into the military camp.

About three minutes had passed when a wave of magic power suddenly erupted from the military camp far to their right, followed by fire that shot into the sky.

At the same time, someone could be heard shouting "Enemy attack!" "Fight the fire!" and other sounds.

This is what Herbert did!

Not only did he set fire to attract the attention of ordinary soldiers, but he also blatantly emitted magic fluctuations. In this way, even the Boer extraordinary people would be attracted. He was creating the best opportunity for Karl and the others to take action.

ah!

After Fen Yiguan did this, the military camp became chaotic.

In addition to the guards at fixed posts, even the patrols ran wherever they went. More than 80% of the people in the camp rushed to put out fires and defend against enemies.

Looking at the scene in front of them, both Karl and Ceryl knew that this was their best chance.

With two "swish" sounds, Karl's phantom knife shot out, knocking down the nearest guard to them in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that he had succeeded with one blow, Karl immediately dragged Ceryl and rushed over, preparing to find the enemy general in the camp.

Then when running to the edge of the camp, Cyril suddenly broke away from Karl's hand.

"What's wrong?" Carl asked doubtfully.

"Let me check their memories, otherwise it would not be so easy to find the target."

After briefly stating her purpose, Cyril's body lost color in an instant, softened and wrapped around the guard who fell on the ground, and completed devouring him in just a few seconds.

Then the black mud formed Cyril's form again. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at Karl and said:

"That's right, that Joubert is right here, follow me!"

It only took a few seconds for Ceryl to complete the analysis of the memory. As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Karl, and then pulled him forward on a familiar road in the camp.

When advancing in the camp, because Karl and Selil were not dressed like assassins or soldiers, the Boers around them who were eager to put out fires and defend the enemy even stopped them to question them, and the two of them were able to communicate smoothly.

Unimpeded access to the core of the camp.

Until they came to a tent, Cyril stopped.

This tent is obviously larger than the surrounding tents, and you can tell at a glance that it is not a place where ordinary soldiers live.

Looking at the tent in front of her, Cyril said: "This is it."

Nodding, Karl opened the tent and walked in.

There was actually someone inside at the moment. A middle-aged man had just put on his trousers with the help of two people around him, and had just held his shirt in his hands.
