“It seems that the enemy has already noticed the psychic attack that Gideon Black launched at the city gate earlier.”

In the bustling market, signaling Taylor to relax, Leo Ray pondered for a moment before continuing, “Tell me in detail about their changes in aura and movement paths.”

“Yes, sir.”

Next, with the superb perception of a Tier 5 Powerhouse, Taylor’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he carefully described the outline of the net spread by the City Lord’s side.

“So they hide their aura while dividing into three groups, with calm in motion and action in stillness, huh? It seems they’re trying to deploy a dreamlike combination maneuver against us.”

At this point, Leo Ray raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a thoughtful expression, “I hadn’t expected the City Lord himself to join in.”

“Lord, what should we do now?” On the other side, Taylor couldn’t help but ask while surveying the surrounding passers-by discreetly.

“Proceed as planned. Let’s collect the goods from the warehouse first.”

With a slight smile, Leo Ray replied, “In a way, their actions might actually be a good thing for us.”

“Lord, you think this is a good thing?” Hearing this, Taylor raised his eyebrows, showing a puzzled expression

“That’s right. From the enemy’s current actions, we can deduce two clues.”

Signaling Taylor to turn into a less crowded alley, Leo Ray began explaining while no passerby was around, “First, they didn’t declare martial law and close the city gates to avoid arousing our suspicion.”

Secondly, their choice to divide into three groups shows that they believe any of these groups is capable of putting us in a desperate situation.”

From these two points, it’s evident that they have underestimated our strength.”

Perhaps they think that Gideon Black, who unleashed the psychic attack, is just an ordinary Tier 3 Powerhouse.”

“I see. Lord, you are wise! Our low-key approach has indeed paid off!”

On the other side, Taylor’s thick eyebrows relaxed as he suddenly understood, “With the help of the Illusion Cloaks, it’s indeed difficult for them to detect our tracks.”

“However, just in case the enemy can break through the illusion cloaks, it’s best not to have close contact with them. Report any new movements from tnem to me at any time.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray smiled faintly, guiding Taylor out of the alley and returning to the bustling market.

Before long, they arrived at the temporarily rented warehouse they had visited previously.

Upon opening the warehouse door, Leo Ray found that Serena, Stella, and Gideon had been waiting there for some time.

Beside them were neatly arranged sacks and wooden boxes of various sizes. At a glance, it looked like they were in a storage supermarket.

“Well, my Space Bracelet is now like a real portable convenience store,” Leo Ray said, looking at the dozens of bags of goods in front of him. He randomly opened some and saw a variety of clothing, spices, fragrances, decorations, and daily necessities, just about everything one could think of.

He even found a bag that seemed to contain a lace-bordered fabric.

However, it was immediately and tightly sealed by the blushing twin sisters who explained that it was for Scarlett.”

With a helpless smile, Leo Ray gestured for everyone to move aside, and with a wave of his hand, all the purchased goods were absorbed into his Space Bracelet.

“Lord, I regret to inform you that the food and weapons you specifically instructed us to acquire are under control due to the war, and are basically not available on the market,” Gideon reported after taking a step forward and bowing to Leo Ray.

I’m aware of this already. You’ve all worked hard.”

With a slight nod, Leo Ray gestured for everyone to come forward and continued, “I suppose you’ve noticed the current situation? The enemy is clearly aware of our presence, so let’s leave it at that for today. I’ll make arrangements for our next move after we return to our territory.”

“Yes, sir!” In response, the four subordinates in front of him saluted in unison.

Afterward, since the five of them were concealed by the Illusion Cloaks, they decided not to take a detour and boldly walked straight out through the nearest main entrance of the city.

It was now dusk.

Under the intertwined orange and crimson sky, the two suns, one large and one small, shed their final rays of light.

With the dual sunset casting long shadows upon everything, an exquisite sense of beauty was born amidst the play of light and shadow.

Standing on the vast plains, feeling the refreshing evening breeze on his face, Leo Ray looked back at the city enveloped in deep red, along with his four subordinates, and began walking towards the direction of the river.

Thus, after confirming that no one was following them, the group followed the same route at full speed, rushing back to their territory.

Before long, the five of them appeared in front of the small west gate in their territory.

Immediately after, under the observant gaze of two handsome male and female Half-elves in the left and right watchtowers, as well as the three Earth Guardians at the gate, Leo Ray led his party back into the territory.

Under the last rays of the setting sun, it became apparent that the wooden wall surrounding the camp had already been fully reinforced, and on the other side, the noise from digging trenches could be faintly heard from the main gate, led by Gavin Sullivan and others.

Alright, Serena and Stella, go notify Belinda Wright, the Half-elves, Gavin, and the farmers to rest. Afterward, let’s hurry and prepare dinner, and then have a meeting tonight to plan our next move.”

Patting Serena and Stella’s shoulders, Leo Ray ordered, “Time is critical now. Once the enemy realizes that we’re not in the city, they’ll likely think of our location in the forest. Then, we’ll be in trouble. That’s why we have to get rid of the threat of Cyan Town as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Lord!”

On the other side, Serena and Stella saluted and disappeared in the blink of an

eye.

Using the time it took for his subordinates to prepare dinner, Leo Ray also found time to build a regular house for Gideon Black. The latter’s loyalty increased even further, jumping to 81 points.

As night fell and dinner was served, a hundred Half-elves and eighty Tier-I Hunters and farmers immediately returned to their duties. Leo Ray called all high-ranking subordinates and the four team leaders, including Gavin

Sullivan, to the guest hall of the Lord’s Mansion to plan their next move..
