---- Chapter 3373 Cormac turned to Andrew. "Andrew, about your earlier proposal tounch a surprise attack on the Three Empires'' allied forces... Asher and Atticus just finished exining everything to me in detail. So the way you''ve got it mapped out, we split up and hit them from two directions. I think it''s got real potential. The question is, when do we move?" Andrew replied calmly, "We move tonight, after dark. We don''t need a big crew for this. You take 500 of your best guys and circle around to the back of their camp. On my end, I only need 50 people.
We push in from the side, just enough to stir things up and make some noise. "Under the cover of night, we must make it look like we''reunching a full-scale assault. Set fires and cause as much destruction as possible. That way, the Three Empires'' allied forces will panic and assume a massive army is attacking them When they scramble to respond and focus on surrounding my side, welll already be prepared to retreat. "With only 50 men on my side, we can retreat at any time.
And when that momentes, that''s your cue to charge in from the rear andpletely destroy their main camp." Andrew''s n was airtight. With every sentence he spoke, Cormac and the others nodded in agreement. ---- By the time he finished outlining the final details, Cormac''s eyes were shining He praised, "No wonder you''re the leader of Holtrien''s legendary Iron Cavalry. You really know what you''re doing. Guillermo losing to you? Honestly, that makesplete sense now. Not even a little surprising!" Andrew simply smiled at the praise. Then he said, "Let''s each go prepare.
When night falls, we move out." Cormac replied eagerly, "Alright. Take this time to get some rest too." Andrew immediately returned to his residence with Shiloh and Nyx. As soon as he left, Jakob could not hold back. "Mr. Cormac, Ms. Greene is no saint. Her reputation in Holtrien''s martial world is terrible. And yet she''s Andrew''s woman? Are you sure about that? Cormac smiled. "We''re sure. But that''s Andrew''s private matter, and it''s not our ce to interfere." Jakob snorted. "Andrew is really something else. He just collects trouble like it''s a hobby, doesn''t he?
He''s already got that knockout foreigner on his arm, and now he''s pulled in Shiloh. That woman''s basically a walking disaster. Isn''t he ---- scared she''ll knock him off in his sleep?" Cormac and Asher exchanged nces and said nothing, just smiled. Everyone in that room could see right through Jakob. He was putting on a whole performance of moral outrage, but his eyes told apletely different story. The envy was written all over his face, in as day. The Greene family''s Saintess was dangerous, and not just anyone could handle a woman like her.
Shiloh''s strength at the peak of martial god level crushed Jakobpletely. And on top of that, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Jakob was not the only one who felt jealous. Even Cormac and Asher felt a little envious. They could not help thinking that if they had managed to win a woman like her, their status in Holtrien and among the great families would have skyrocketed. Unfortunately, Andrew had taken the prize again Clearing his throat, Cormac said, "Mr. Miller, Asher, let''s start assigning the men for the raid. This is serious business.
We can''t afford any mistakes." ---- Jakob let out a hum. "You two go ahead. I need to head into town to take care of something. I''ll be back in half an hour. Excuse me." With that, he stood up and walked out. Asher looked puzzled. "Cormac, what do you think Jakob meant by that?" Cormac thought for a moment, then gave a sly smile. "Seems like he''s feeling restless and needs to blow off some steam. He sees Andrew living it up with a beauty in his arms.
Jakob''s out here with nothing, so he''s going to find the next best option he can." Asher, famously slow-witted within the Cavendish royal family, frowned. "What do you mean, the next best option?" Cormac raised an eyebrow. "You know... Easy, no strings attached, doesn''t cost much, and scratches the itch. Asher, I''m serious. Outside of training and fighting, you really need to wake up alittle. Some conversations I genuinely can''t have with you." Asher pouted. "If you don''t exin it, I don''t want to know." Then he paused, something catching his attention. "Half an hour, he said. That''s...
kind of a short window, don''t you think?" Cormac pped his thigh andughed. "Right? I was just ---- thinking that. The round trip alone is what, 20-something minutes? Add in everything else... Asher, I hate to say it, but Jakob might have a problem in that department." Asher gave him a genuinely puzzled look. "How would you even know that?" Cormac justughed. "Don''t worry about how I know. I just know. Anyway... Enough about Jakob. Let''s get moving and pick out our raid team."
