Chapter 260 - Volume 3
Chapter 39 – Town Schafflund
============ Carglise’s POV ==========
“Prepare to retreat!” Carglise’s voice was raised.
“What?” Lord Macsen could hardly believe what his ears were hearing. The brat actually ordered his men to retreat in front of him: “You damn brat, this old man isn’t dead yet, so don’t think you can order my men!”
Even if his son was cautious, retreating out of the forest was a little too much. Furthermore, how was he going to deal with the loss of his pride?
“My lord, I’m afraid the young master is right.” But one of the knights also chose to speak up with a solemn expression: “It’s best that we retreat, at least a little—”
“What’s happening? What are y—” Lord Macsen’s mind was going blank. His subordinates would not joke with him, and this time he was starting to panic a little.
Before he could finish his words, there was a visible signal made from a magic spell that rose up to the sky, followed by frightening bestial screams!
“My lord, the mining area is approximately two miles to Schafflund’s eastern-north. Every morning, the workers would pass through a dedicated path to enter the silver mines and work. The path is guarded by several watchtowers, and there is light cavalry patrolling as well. We won’t be able to enter the area without concealing ourselves.”
“Is there only a single path? What are the chances of sneaking in from the sides with our men’s skills?”
“It’s not impossible,” Jana thought for a while, “but I heard the commander of the guards is a Gold-ranked swordsman.”
Brendel nodded. It would be strange without that this place did not have one. He knew the strongest defender of a silver mine in the game was a Sword Saint who had completely mastered his Element Power.
“Very well. Entering the town shouldn’t be a difficult problem. Since we have quite the number of men, we need to divide ourselves into small groups to avoid suspicion. Everyone needs to make sure to bring keep your funds with you at all times and stay in different inns,” He glanced at the sky as he spoke, “we will gather in the evening. Have all of you memorized your signs?”
Everyone nodded.
“Then move out.”
TL: Just in case anyone is wondering, that’s the end of Carglise and Macsen’s POV. Both are captured and house arrest.
