Chapter 147 - 140: Cardu City
After Lu Hong and the old Hank conducted some reconnaissance, they finally understood Yuanhua’s current situation.
It could be said that the situation for the empire was very poor, being beaten back continuously by the Golden Family.
At that moment, they were considering how they could involve themselves in the military conflict to slow down the Golden Family’s advance.
"It’s still the same old tactic, hit their supply line, that’s all we need to do." Old Hank pointed to the nearest official road to them, "Isn’t this the Silver Family’s supply route? Just attack it."
"The Silver Family is subordinated to the Golden Family. If we can cause internal strife within the Silver Family, it would definitely alleviate the front line’s situation." Old Hank was spot on.
Lu Hong nodded in agreement, then said, "Not only that, I also found out that the Silver Family’s eldest son is currently handling the logistics and military supplies in Cardu City. Why don’t we take him out too?"
"That’d be great, but the risk is quite high. If they find out and seal off the city gates in time, then our chances of escape would be slim." Old Hank was concerned about his clansmen and didn’t want to take too big of a risk.
"You don’t need to go," Lu Hong shook his head, "I can do it alone. You lead people to set an ambush along the supply line, while I sneak into Cardu City and try to assassinate this eldest son of the Silver Family. We’ll proceed on two fronts."
"Are you sure?" Old Hank didn’t doubt Lu Hong’s abilities but knew that without understanding the enemy’s strength and deployment, the chance of surviving such an assassination, even if successful, would be very low.
"Of course, I will not only kill but also set up measures to sow discord," Lu Hong confirmed once more, "Rest assured, I won’t act rashly. Besides, such a big city can’t hide one person like me, can it?"
