Looking at the chaotic streets and fleeing civilians around them, Leo Ray’s subordinates immediately became vigilant.
They subconsciously began to move closer to Leo Ray.
“Don’t be so nervous; our current identity is just that of a group of insignificant foreign travelers.”
Leo Ray signaled his men to enter a secluded alley not far away, waving his hand to urge them.
“Lord, what’s going on?”
Entering an empty narrow passage, Linda listened carefully to her surroundings while asking Leo Ray.
Meanwhile, Serena and Stella, along with Abigail and Amelia, split into two groups guarding both ends of the alley.
Invisible Taylor and Gideon Black leaped onto the roofs of nearby houses to keep a watchful eye.
Surrounding Leo Ray were Scarlett, Bianca White, and Linda.
“No signs of enemy infiltration, yet the city gates are closed, and everyone in the city seems worried. Plus, there are five powerhouses from the City Lord Mansion in a state of battle…”
Leo Ray furrowed his brow thoughtfully, lifting his half-clenched right hand to touch his cheek with his thumb, his index finger gently rubbing his nose bridge in a habit of pondering.
After a moment, he relaxed his brow and smiled faintly, saying, “It seems that we have stumbled upon a great opportunity.”
“A great opportunity?”
Hearing this, Scarlett, who had transformed into a wide-eyed villager, blinked her eyes in confusion, tilting her head, asking, “Lord, what opportunity?”
“It’s simple. There’s no external threat, yet they’re in a state of war. With the in mind, the answer is clear.”
Seeing Scarlett’s puzzled expression, Leo Ray hinted.
“Lord, are you saying there’s a family feud happening here?”
Upon hearing this, Linda’s spirited face suddenly lit up in understanding.
Then, she paused for a moment, continuing thoughtfully, “This Milan Town has always been controlled by the Viscount family, the Waters Family, of Coldflame Kingdom. The current City Lord is also the head of the Waters Family.
Moreover, it’s said that the City Lord often has disputes with some of the family elders. It seems these elders are trying to seize the position of family head and control of the city, and we’ve arrived just in time for that!”
“So that’s it, no wonder Lord said this was a great opportunity!”
Upon hearing this, Scarlett couldn’t help but get excited, saying, “It looks like we can join in on the fun!”
At this point, Bianca White, who had been silent, showed a puzzled expression, asking, “Lord, there are two other Tier 3 powerhouses in the city; why haven’t they made any moves?”
Upon wearing the Illusion Cloaks,
Bianca’s fluffy ears and large tail had disappeared without a trace. In her confusion, her face also showed a bit of excitement.
Undoubtedly, for her who had never been in a Human Clan city, everything here seemed so fresh and interesting.
On the other side, hearing Bianca’s question, Leo Ray chuckled and explained, “From the current situation, although City Lord Mansion is tense, there’s no sign of massive mobilization of the Defense Army.
From this, it can be seen that those two powerhouses and the city’s defense army are in a neutral position, not directly involved in this conflict.”
“Lord’s analysis makes sense. After all, this is only a family dispute, and the owner of the city has not changed fundamentally.”
Hearing this, Linda nodded slightly, reflecting, “Without a doubt, the winning side will regain control of everything in the city.”
As Linda finished speaking, Taylor’s rough voice came through the Mind Talk, “Reporting to Lord, the auras of the five Tier 3 powerhouses in the city center have begun to become chaotic.
Among them, there are quite a few Tier 2 auras as well, showing that a small but not insignificant battle has taken place.””lt seems that the power struggle we stumbled upon has already begun.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s mouth curled up into a slight smile, “Since we’ve come across this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, we can’t just let it slip away. Suppress your auras to the lowest level and let’s get a little closer.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
On the other side, the subordinates lowered their voices and saluted in unison.
Following the cold, old alley, their group of ten continued forward.
Before long, a towering castle came into their sight.
Unquestionably, this was the Mansion of the City Lord, located at the heart of the city.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Leo Ray stood at a concealed corner in the alley, using one hand to shield his eyes from the sun as he observed carefully.
Compared to the three-story Mansion in Cyan Town.
The Mansion in Maron City was visibly much grander.
The entire silhouette resembled an elegant stone castle.
Whether it was the arrow towers, crenellations, or the heavy metal gates, they all exuded a majestic magnificence.
“Wow, the aristocratic family sure is different. Wouldn’t you get lost in there?”
At this scene, Leo Ray smirked and extended his senses to the maximum, continuing to watch.
From this position, they could clearly hear the intense clashes of weapons and battle cries coming from the castle, along with occasional magic explosion sounds.
Furthermore, at several spots inside the castle, thick smoke had already started billowing out. Even where Leo Ray stood, they could faintly smell burnt scents.
“It seems that the battle has entered a fierce stage right from the start.”
Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Leo Ray moved back into the alley, a contemplative look on his face.
As previously mentioned, for their side, this was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
Even supporting one side and taking over Maron City in the process was far from impossible.
If so, their own power would undoubtedly rise to a whole new level.
“Moreover, this is an agricultural city. In the future, our supply of food and provisions will be more abundant and easily managed!”
Realizing this, Leo Ray was excited and rubbed his hands together.
However, he soon furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Without a doubt, under unclear circumstances, how they could insert themselves into this dispute was a critical question.
Just as Leo Ray thought of this, Taylor’s deep and steady voice reached him through a mind message, “My Lord, just now, two groups of people left the castle in quick succession. The first group was notably weaker, while the second one pursued them relentlessly, murderous intent evident. It must be a life-and-death chase.”
“Oh?” Hearing this, a delighted expression appeared on Leo Ray’s face as he smiled, “It seems our opportunity has arrived..”
