Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 197 Decision and Discovery

"Unless your secret passage can allow many people to sneak into the castle, it will be useless. The emperor's guards and court mages are not vegetarians," Baron said.

"We can bring some soldiers in," Rhodes said.

"Then let's see which lord is willing to lend you his family's soldiers and let you take this risk. It's better to sneak in alone with dozens of ordinary soldiers. There are so many people and it's easy to be discovered. I can't help you, maybe a certain court mage can kill everyone with a single spell." Baron said again.

Rhode hesitated, whether he should take this risk or not.If you sneak into the castle through secret passages, helping the Nords break the castle from the inside will definitely be a great reward.

Castles, like fortresses, are military structures that are difficult to breach from the outside.And now although the Nords have broken through the fortress, if they don't break through the castle inside the fortress, everything they have done will be in vain.

It won't be long before countless nobles from the Roman Empire will come to the rescue with their troops. When they attack the fortress, the people in the castle can serve as internal support to help them attack the city. With internal support and external cooperation, the fortress cannot be defended at all.

There are at least a thousand soldiers in the castle. Except for some escaped lords who took away some soldiers and some soldiers who fled, all the remaining imperial soldiers in the fortress stayed inside, and there were countless defense equipment in the castle.On the Nord Kingdom, siege equipment such as catapults and siege towers are useless at all, and can only be filled with human lives.

Rhodes felt that it was still necessary for him to give it a try. If the plan was successful this time, he would definitely be able to "retire" with peace of mind in the future.

Even if he didn't succeed, he would be very difficult to kill. It would be very difficult for ordinary warriors and knights to injure him, as long as he slipped away when he saw the mage.Most of the mages are very weak, and Rhodes felt that if he wanted to escape, they would definitely not be able to catch up with him.

"I think I'd better give it a try and keep an eye on these captives for me." After finishing speaking, Rhodes walked towards the south of the fortress.

Most of the houses and other buildings in the fortress were destroyed. According to the houses, it should be smashed by Nords' catapults.

Countless injured ordinary civilians groaned in pain in the ruined walls beside the street, and many people hugged their dead relatives and wept.

Some were crushed to death by stones or collapsing houses, while others were hacked to death with swords.

Those who were hacked to death should have been killed by mercenaries and imperial soldiers who fled from the battlefield. Some of them were to rob property, and some of them should be to vent their twisted desires in their hearts.

Rhodes quickened his pace and walked along the street towards the south side of the fortress. He passed by Gilbert's house and found that Gilbert was lucky that the house was not hit by the catapult.

But when he got closer, he found that his shop had been smashed.

It may be that others saw that only his shop and a very few other shops were intact, so they decided to rob him.

Rhodes decided to go in and have a look, maybe he could get something from him to help him in his next move.

The most important thing is that he hasn't had a meal after fighting for a long time, and he feels that he should wash himself off. He must be particularly easy to be found with blood all over his body.

Rhodes pushed open the half-open door and walked in.

"If you're not dead, come out and squeak." Rhodes said loudly after entering.

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Gilbert, whose nose was bruised and swollen from the beating, poked his head out from behind the smashed counter.

Rhodes couldn't help laughing, but because the black circles around the eyes on Gilbert's face were too symmetrical, it looked a little happy.

"Prepare me some food and bath water first." Rhodes said again.

"I'm already like this, and you still have the nerve to order me around and laugh at me?" Gilbert said unhappily.

"It's good that you can survive. Those rebels just beat you up and didn't kill you. Now your store is gone, just come with me after the war is over, and I will pay you to do what you want Experiment, finish what I just told you before." Rhodes forcibly held back a smile.

"Oh." Gilbert sighed and started to act.

"It's best to get me some medicine that can remove the smell on my body." Rhodes added.

After that, he closed the door of the grocery store, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to actively run the Shenzhao Gong, repairing the hidden wounds on his body and restoring his internal strength.

It may be that the upgrade of the iron cloth shirt with the golden bell cover has caused some changes in his skin, muscles, and bones. Itchy but comfortable.

Just as he was indulging in the joy of practicing, the door of the grocery store behind him was kicked open.

Rhodes opened his eyes, and he felt the energy and blood all over his body rushing to the top of his head. The sound just now was too loud, which shocked him who was poured into his whole body, and he almost might have lost his temper.

Three Nord soldiers came in, looking like they were a***.

"Hand over all the money, I know you must have hidden some, you'd better be honest, lest we kill you by hand, and then find it yourself." One of the soldiers pointed at Rhodes arrogantly with a one-handed sword. said.

Rhodes couldn't restrain his current violent temper at all. He was suddenly awakened by a sand sculpture while he was having a good dream, and said some particularly arrogant and sand sculpture words.

He rushed forward and kicked the soldier who spoke hard. His strength seemed to have increased a bit, and the steel greaves on his feet never took off.

This kick directly dented the soldier's chest completely, and the whole person flew backwards and hit the wall of the grocery store. After a muffled grunt, there was no more movement.

The two soldiers next to him hurriedly stabbed Rhodes with their swords. Rhodes didn't dodge at all. One hand clenched into a fist and hit him hard on the head.

The soldier wanted to resist at first, but stopped struggling after a few punches.

Rhodes threw him on the ground and walked towards the soldier who had just been kicked away by him. He was lying on the ground trying to get up, but Rhodes kicked his head hard towards his head.

The soldier died in agony without a chance to cry out.

There are good people and scum in every country, and killing them is a reasonable disaster, although Rhodes feels that he is no longer a good person.

Rhodes walked to the gate and locked it, walked up the stairs to the attic of the grocery store, and continued to run the magic power...
