A few hours later, the Norman fleet arrived near the waters near Palermo. People on the deck could even see the port in the distance emerging from the white line where the sea and the sky met.
A large number of Northern Horn troops stationed in the military camp outside the palace have now been deployed on both sides of the port, the main roads and city gates in the city to maintain order. The triumphal ceremony will then begin.
The triumphal ceremony, as an important war ceremony of the ancient Solomon Republic, was also imitated by the continental countries later. However, the ancient Solomon people held the triumphal ceremony mainly for the purpose of publicity (after all, they had an election system and the generals liked to show their faces in public).
The Normans held a triumphal ceremony at this time mainly to establish their authority and deter the scoundrels. What they brought back were not only the captured weapons and prisoners, but also a large number of undead corpses. The carts of skeletons were scary to look at.
Some members of the Cangqing Sword also sneaked into the city at this time.
"I emphasize again that we are not in an advantageous position in a confrontation with the Otwell family in Palermo." Ask's voice rang out in the girls' mind channel, "So our first stage goal is to successfully rescue Sidlifa, not to fight them."
"Now that the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, the timing of action is very important. According to Mier's intelligence, after the ship arrives at the port, Xideli Fahui and the demigod William will get off the ship one after another."
"Before this, the heir named Roger, with his so-called marriage proposal, had reached a consensus with everyone at the family meeting and led his troops to Catania to quell the rebellion. The demigod Robert did not follow him, but stayed in Palermo and was responsible for welcoming William at the port."
"So if we go to rescue Sidlifa directly, we will have to face the huge pressure from two demigods and a large number of extraordinary troops. The risk of doing so is too great. Considering that the two demigods stayed close to Sidlifa throughout the triumphal ceremony, we need to create an opportunity to get one of them out of the way in the first stage."
"Understood." Eleanor, Nora and Medea said. They were the main force responsible for luring the tiger away from the mountain in this plan.
Especially Eleanor, only when she is in the holy sword state can she withstand the frontal attack of the demigod.
"After sending one of them away, the remaining demigod will definitely be on high alert. We can't give him too much time to think, so the second round of assassination must be carried out quickly to drag him into a tense rhythm where he has no time to think."
"I'll do it," Paige said immediately.
The vampire girl, who possessed explosive output power, was the executor of the subsequent assassination phase. Her mysterious death laws and invincible death-forbidden skills also ensured that she could pose a strong threat to the demigod that could not be ignored.
"After holding back this demigod, the most critical step is the rescue. As the battle situation changes rapidly, we cannot formulate a detailed action plan. It's up to you to improvise here. Is there any problem, Mia?" Ask asked.
"Don't worry!" Mia said confidently, "When it comes to the ability to seize opportunities, no one in the team can compare to me!"
"I will also provide support." Mi'er said seriously.
