Ronin had considered many scenarios on the road to Mountain Forest Town, but no plan is ever perfect.
Without sufficient intelligence, there were some things Ronin simply couldn't have anticipated.
Now that he thought about it, since Baron Reisen had decided to take such a risk to eliminate him, he would naturally want to ensure it was foolproof.
Perhaps in Baron Reisen's eyes, Princest and his men were enough to deal with Ronin and his Guards.
But to prevent any accidents, Baron Reisen had sent Knight Philton and his men to attack from the rear, forming a pincer that would ensure Ronin had no escape.
Just imagine: if Ronin had been no match for Princest and had chosen to flee, he would have run straight into a pincer attack. He'd have been trapped, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.
This, then, was Baron Reisen's entire plan to kill Ronin.
Ronin's mind was in turmoil. Mountain Forest Town was just ahead, yet he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.
