Reborn Dragon Vein Warlock, Genius Beauty Mage
Chapter 63 Raid on the Stronghold
There are countless various organizations on this continent, such as the Mage Guild, the Warrior Guild, the Druid Guild, the Thieves Guild, etc., which not only cover the entire continent, but also have the support of the True God Church behind them. Slightly weaker ones include the Mercenary Guild, the Bard Guild, etc. Although the members' beliefs are very mixed and not controlled by any one church, they are still continent-wide organizations.
There are even more organizations at various countries and even county levels. In Brittany County alone, there are dozens of gray organizations called XX Brotherhood. We are still aware of this, but we don't know much more.
So when the two infiltrators revealed that the name of the organization they belonged to was the XX Brotherhood, although no one had heard of it, no one found it strange.
Knight Eric Bernard has now led the guards to a villa not far away.
After a while, the thief Tam who was in charge of the reconnaissance came back: "Knight Eric, I have confirmed that this is the place where they confessed. The house has a back door, and I don't know the exact number of people inside. I didn't get too close."
"Eco, the five of you block the back door." Eric Knight said to a fourth-level warrior.
"As ordered."
"Floy, you are responsible for the security." Eric said to another fourth-level archer.
"As ordered."
"Fight in with me!" Knight Eric put on his helmet and drew his sword and shouted.
With a click, the door was opened by Eric Knight's sword, and he rushed in first. The two guards in the gatehouse heard the commotion and came out with their swords to check, but were immediately chopped down to the ground by the incoming soldiers.
Guard soldiers use different equipment according to different tasks. This time they wear chain jackets and half plate armor, with armor protection on their shoulders and arms, iron gloves on their hands, and fully enclosed knight helmets on their heads. The lower body plate armor protected the chest and abdomen, and the chain armor hung down to the knees. For the convenience of indoor activities, he only wore cowhide boots.
The ten people in the front row hold short-handled battle axes in their right hands and small bucklers in their left hands, while the five people in the back row hold two-and-a-half-meter spears.
In the picture of the soldier I found online, the book says that he wears mail and the weapon is a short-handled battle axe.
As soon as the people in the villa came downstairs, they were blocked by soldiers who rushed in. How could several professionals wearing leather armor and holding long swords or even daggers be the opponent of fully armed soldiers? Moreover, there was Eric, a seventh-level soldier. The knights were all cut down in one glance.
Although Eric deliberately showed mercy in order to survive, the other party actually committed suicide when he saw that he was about to be captured, which was unexpected.
"Search!"
Following Eric Knight's order, the soldiers conducted a demolition-style search of the villa, but nothing came of it.
A total of nine people were killed in this battle. If we include the two people who were caught after sneaking in last night, a stronghold with more than ten people plus a spellcaster bard is pretty good.
Just when Eric Knight led people to attack the opponent's stronghold, a group of people also gathered not far from Christine's manor.
Most of them were dressed as sailors, some were dressed as mercenaries, and a few were dressed as ordinary people. They held various weapons in their hands, and half of them wore leather armor.
In fact, the two people who infiltrated belonged to an organization called the Priory of Sion, but they didn't know it. The so-called XX Brotherhood was just a vest for a peripheral organization.
The people of the Priory of Sion have been thinking of a way after learning that the treasure map was in the hands of Baron Stewart, but since Christine is always guarded by guards and lives in the Mage Tower, there is nothing they can do.
At this time, they had gathered dozens of people to obtain the treasure map, until Christine took a boat north to Roskilde Island in the Principality of Wende, and the person responsible for the treasure map also rented a boat to follow.
Although they didn't know the other party's destination and the ship couldn't keep up with the other party's speed, because Christine stopped when she encountered the port, the people from the Priory of Sion knew which direction she was going when they went to the port to inquire. So he followed them all the way to the port of Aarhus in the Principality of Wende.
It is impossible to attack the nobles in the military port. Although they have found out that Christine is recruiting a guide to go to Roskilde Island, the island is so big that I don't know how to find the other party's destination.
There is definitely nothing you can do here, but you have to go back anyway. There is a 90% chance that you will have to stop in the port city of Rotterdam in the Principality of Belgium. Then you can do it there.
So the mage responsible for this operation of the Priory of Sion came up with a plan. On one side, he sent people disguised as servants to lurk in the manor to steal the treasure map in advance. On the other side, he sent a message back to the headquarters asking them to mobilize manpower. If the theft failed, Achieve a strong attack.
As a result, Christine stayed in the ruins laboratory for more than two months, giving the people of the Priory of Sion plenty of time to prepare. There are more than a hundred people in total, some of whom are secretly controlled mercenary groups, some are secretly controlled pirates, and people from the Rotterdam Port City branch.
Not to mention these secret organizations, even ordinary bandits and pirates often kill nobles and steal money when they encounter opportunities, but they are not as bold as the Priory of Sion and dare to do it in the city.
In other words, the Principality of Belgium has many ships and sailors, and there are many mercenary groups hired by maritime merchants. Otherwise, the Priory of Sion would not be able to recruit so many people to sneak into the city.
When Christine came back from Roskilde Island, the people of the Sion Priory knew the process of the treasure hunt because the "Strait Wind" mercenary team did not deliberately hide it.
I thought that after getting the treasure map, I would still have to work hard to decipher it, but now not only has Baron Stewart deciphered it, but I also have an additional metal token that comes in and out, which is even better. So they immediately sent people to the port city of Rotterdam in the Principality of Belgium to inform their own people to prepare.
When Christine came to Rotterdam again after resting in the Port of Aarhus in the Principality of Wende, this arrangement was waiting for her.
The mage responsible for this operation of the Priory of Sion knew that if the two infiltrators succeeded, everything would be easy. If they failed and were captured, they would have to confess in front of Baron Stewart, who was also a mage. Therefore, not only did the two men not know about the storm plan, but they also specifically told them that he and several important figures would be waiting at the stronghold, in order to induce the other party to disperse their forces.
The result was just as he expected. Knight Eric took seven fourth-level professionals and twenty guard soldiers to the stronghold, leaving only ten soldiers and one first-level druid in the manor.
The person in charge of the mage did not dare to say whether the other party would be deceived and split his troops, so he summoned more than a hundred people. He himself is a fifth-level mage, and there is also a fifth-level warrior, a fifth-level thief, and a dozen fourth-level physics professionals. When the time comes, there will be no problem in entangling the other knights to steal the treasure map and metal tokens. .
Now that he saw that the opponent had been tricked and divided his forces, the person in charge was overjoyed and immediately arranged for several professionals to lead people to attack from all sides, making sure not to let the target escape. Because it was too dangerous to operate in the city, he ordered that no one be left alive and that everything found should be evacuated immediately.
