Chapter 452 Canyon Fortress
Rhodes sat in his tent and thought for a while, and finally felt that Duke Elvis' reinforcements should have arrived.

His army had been stationed on the prairie before, fighting against the prairie people. The food they ate should be mainly beef and mutton. Therefore, unlike the soldiers in the canyon fortress, most of them suffered from night blindness.

What troubled Rhodes was why Al sent so many cavalry tonight.

If it is for investigation, it should not require so many people, and it is better to have fewer people.

The night attack would not attack so early. It was just dark, and the Nord soldiers hadn't rested yet, and most of them hadn't even removed their armor.

A surprise attack at this time will not have any results.

Rhodes recalled the contents of the "Chronicle of the Roman Empire" written by Al, and felt that Al should have made such a meaningless move on purpose to let them guess what his purpose was.

By doing this, he distracted the nobles of Nord and prepared for his next plan.

As for what he is going to do next, Rhodes doesn't know. Maybe Al is not going to do anything next, just to let the nobles of Nord guess what he is going to do next.

This is also the reason why many smart people will be defeated by reckless people. Reckless people don't think so much at all, just go there and let it go.

Rhodes decided not to waste time thinking about these questions. After hesitating for a while, he put on the night clothes suit, left a note, and left the camp quietly.

He decided to sneak into the canyon fortress tonight, and he was a little worried that there might be imperial spies among the nobles present at that time.

As long as it is not exposed, there should still be many nobles who will do this kind of thing after collecting money and then providing information to the empire.

In the eyes of many nobles.The interests of the family are more important than the interests of the country.

The history book written by Al records a very similar thing. Many years ago, a counselor of the Nord king came up with a very ingenious plan. If this plan can be successful, the empire will suffered a great loss.

As a result, a Nord nobleman leaked this plan to the nobles of the empire, and then the imperial people continued to plan, which caused serious losses to the Nord side.

But that nobleman did not do this for money, he did it for revenge. Because his father was the first to escape on the battlefield, he was directly ordered to be executed by King Nord who had just lost a battle at that time.

At that time, the Nord king did not deprive him of his title, but let the descendants of the nobleman inherit it. As a result, this happened in the end.

If he sneaked into the canyon fortress today, Rhodes wouldn't have to worry about such a thing happening.

Rhodes, who was wearing a night suit, walked in the dark without being spotted by any Nord soldiers in the barracks.

After leaving the barracks, he slowly approached the canyon fortress.

The imperial cavalry retreated to the fort long ago, and did not fight the young nobleman.

It didn't take long for Rhodes to arrive directly below the city wall of the canyon fortress.

Torches were lit on the city wall, and many imperial soldiers held torches and patrolled back and forth.

Rhodes performed light work and climbed up the vertical city wall.

Hanging from the battlements, he waited for an imperial soldier to walk past before rolling over to the city wall.

Then he jumped directly from the city wall tens of meters high and entered the interior of the canyon fortress.

There were far fewer soldiers patrolling inside the city wall. After avoiding a group of patrolling knights, Rhode left the city wall and disappeared into the dark night.

Rhodes stopped in a dark alley, and he felt that he was really getting more and more proficient in doing this kind of thing.

Apart from the patrolling soldiers, there was no one else on the street. There must be a curfew in the canyon fortress.

Rhodes decided to find something to do, otherwise he could only stay outside all night tonight, and he slowly walked towards the castle in the middle of the fortress.

There should still be a lot of strong people in this castle, but even if they are discovered by the people in the castle, Rhodes is sure to evacuate safely.

Some time ago, Rhodes learned from the Marquis of Foss that most powerhouses would not participate in secular wars.

Unless a certain country is about to be destroyed, they will appear in the eyes of most people, otherwise they will be busy with their own affairs.

Rhodes felt that those strong human beings should pay more attention to the world of consciousness, where they have the key to becoming demigods.

And even if a human being who has become a demigod wants to improve his own strength, he cannot do without the world of consciousness.

If demigods want to increase believers, most of them also need to influence humans in the real world through the world of consciousness.

It is much easier to confuse ordinary humans through the conscious world than in the real world.

Rhodes walked directly through the heavily guarded castle gate, and the soldiers standing guard on both sides didn't notice his passing at all.

Standing in the courtyard of the castle, Rhodes could feel that the castle was surrounded by a layer of magic power. If he walked in like this, he would definitely be perceived by the owner of the magic power.

Rhodes stood still thinking about how to do something, and he suddenly had an idea.

He brought a lot of explosives made by Gilbert for mining, but he had never used them, and today he just took them out to try their power.

It should be impossible to blow up the castle directly, but it is still possible to use it to create some riots.

I believe that the nobles living in this castle, if they are suddenly awakened by a violent explosion, they will probably not be able to sleep well tonight.

When the general offensive is launched tomorrow, they will definitely make many mistakes due to their poor mental state.

Rhodes walked to a corner next to the castle, took out a dozen packs of explosives and piled them together, and then retreated into the distance.

After the distance was far enough, he used the Yang finger in the air against the pile of explosives, and then walked out without looking back.

Real men never look back at the explosion.

boom!
A loud bang sounded.

Rhodes felt the air waves from the explosion in the rear, and he resisted not turning his head. The sky-like flames from the rear illuminated his front, and he quickly left here.

After hearing the explosion, the imperial soldiers on the street were rushing towards the castle.

Rhodes stood outside the castle and looked back. The castle was shrouded in smoke and dust, and he couldn't see the situation inside clearly. He could only vaguely see some flames.

He felt a wave of cold killing intent spread to the surroundings.

It was discovered!

Rhodes didn't run away, he felt that he had been locked and couldn't leave even if he wanted to, so he took off his night clothes and stood quietly waiting for his murderous master.
