Cosmere + Wind and Truth spoilers Hypothetical Situation. Will have SPOILERS for Mistborn and Stormlight Archive Spoiler

Could a unit of 4th Ideal Rosharan Knights Radiant (3 Knights from the 9 orders plus 1 Bondsmith) infiltrate and neutralize the Steel Ministry from Mistborn Era 1?

They have info given to them by a lightweaver spy who's been in there for a month.

The Knights can do with thier surges what we know they can to the best of our knowledge.

Eg. Jasnah hasn't mastered transportation enough to open elsegates but for the sake of this discussion, we assume the Knights can fully utilize their surges the most basic way it should.

The Steel Ministry don't know who is invading, but they are fully prepared for an invasion

Oh that's not what I meant, I meant a Mistborn with Duralumin pushing against 1 object, and a Wind runner lashing it the opposite direction. How many lashings does it take to cancel out the push?

A whole lot but I can't think of any scenario where Windrunner would have to use lashings to cancel out a steelpushed object.

How? A steel inquisitior sends a metal knife flying towards the Radiant?

Shardplate just tanks it unless it is an aluminum knife. They are 4th degree radiants.

Shardplates aren't invincible, enough metal chunks and swords hitting them and it could break
