Chapter 168
Naturally, if Michelle wanted to take care of the knights first, she would need to scout the situation and then think up a plan. She was no longer in the Land of Exile where she was at the threshold of the power reachable there.
In the lower realm, she was just a small brat with cultivation below the Spirit rank. Even young children who had just started cultivating were more powerful than her.
So to take on the city guards, she needed to know the situation first.
And for that, it was best to ask Noctis. Michelle was certain he already had a good view of how many knights were around and where they were stationed.
Just like she guessed, when she asked into the air, Noctis appeared in front of her and started speaking. "Two knights are stationed by every window and door, which makes up to twenty knights. Then, there are three houses where twenty knights are hiding in each. And then there are twenty knights disguised as civilians walking around the tavern."
Michelle nodded a bit. So she was up against a hundred knights and she didn’t know their intentions. Did they want to capture her? Kill her? Or just observe her? And was all that just because of the way she entered the city?
"How powerful are they?" she asked.
Noctis shrugged. In his eyes, anyone in the lower realm was considered an ant. But when he compared the powers of the knights with Michelle, the situation was completely different. "In a place like this, even the city lord is barely a Spirit Master. The knights range from Spirit Apprentices to Spirit Knights."
Hearing Noctis speak about the city lord, Michelle raised a brow. "The city lord is present?" She was clearly surprised.
