“On the way to the Mountain Fortress, we will pass through the territory of the Great Prince in this area. I might as well go and check it in person.”
Having decided, Leo Ray promptly used Mind Talk to inform the others around him of his decision.
At the moment, those surrounding Leo Ray were Taylor, Holly, Leah, Burt, Joshua, Gideon Black, Ariel Watson, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Bianca White, who all respectfully accepted his order after receiving it.
In the blink of an eye, the group, wearing Invisibility Cloaks, finally stopped at a secluded spot in the outskirts of a strange city.
Under the brilliant sunlight, Leo Ray, standing on a slope, noticed that the several villages in the city’s outskirts were no different than what he had seen in Iron Fort and Greyrock City. Everything was dilapidated and foul-smelling, and the surrounding fields were lush and fertile.
Compared to the magnificent city not far away, the villages were even more miserable, like two different worlds.
“My Lord, it seems that the dreadful situation of the Free Farmers under the rule of these traditional nobles is no different than the new nobles, undoubtedly in complete violation of the kingdom’s laws.”
Ariel Watson frowned, crossing her arms and said, “Their ancestors were once meritorious contributors to the kingdom, fighting alongside the great Hero King. They had never thought that their descendants would completely disregard the teachings of their ancestors.”
Ariel sighed helplessly and added, “It’s important to note that most of their ancestors were just a group of peasants who were being oppressed by the old nobles.”
“In my hometown, a sage once said that the grace of a gentleman would be cut off in five generations. These people have been entrenched here for many years, and it’s time for them to pay the price for their actions.”

Leo Ray’s expression was calm, and he said without any fluctuation, “Let us bring down the hammer of purification and shatter everything these self-righteous nobles have.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Upon hearing Leo Ray’s words, the subordinates around him couldn’t help but be invigorated.
Speaking of which, Leo Ray had heard about this strange city already.
It was called Vilun City, one of the larger cities in this area controlled by the Great Prince’s faction, besides Pinehaven City. It was located to the west of Redarrow City and southwest of the Ancient Battlefield Ruins.
At the same time, it was also the closest frontier city to Cyan Town among the Great Prince’s faction, mainly relying on the textile and agriculture industries.
Its specific strength was between Mystara City and Viennas City, with a defense army of about 7,000.
“My Lord, the gates of Vilun City are tightly closed, the city walls have many guards, and the surrounding villages are all deserted, indicating that they are on the highest alert.”
Seeing the older, white-bearded Burt stepping forward and bowing, he asked, “What should we do next?”
After hearing Burt’s question, Leo Ray frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, “General Bert, what would you do if you were the City Lord of Vilun City?”
“My Lord, the first thing I would need to do is to protect myself and my family from being caught or assassinated by potential powerful enemies.”
Burt lightly stroked his white beard without hesitation and said, “Currently, our adversaries are still unaware of our specific actions, so intelligence is crucial.”
“Only by grasping our attack targets can the enemy make timely preparations and responses. As the highest commander of a city, the City Lord would naturally have the most information, or be the only one holding key intelligence.”
“As for family members, they could become targets for the enemy to threaten us.”
Bowing respectfully to Leo Ray, Burt concluded, “That is why it’s essential to protect ourselves and our family members first, so as not to be coveted by the enemy and suffer a great failure.”
“Is that so?”
Having received this expected response, Leo Ray frowned and asked further, “General Bert, how exactly would you protect yourself and your family?”
“My Lord, the best way to protect oneself is to remain hidden from the enemy. As for family members, it’s easy, just secretly hide them in a corner of the city.”
Still bowed, Burt responded, “As for myself, I would disguise myself and hide in any position within the army, secretly giving orders, or simply pretend to be an inconspicuous guard or servant to confuse the enemy’s sight and then seize the opportunity to take action.”
“It seems that forcibly capturing the enemy’s important commanders for intelligence is indeed an unrealistic task.”
Leo Ray shrugged his shoulders while looking helplessly at the heavily guarded city in the distance.
“My Lord, that’s exactly right.”
With a solemn voice, Burt said, “Moreover, these nobles who are fanatically loyal to the Great Prince or the Second Prince would undoubtedly want to make a good impression, so they are even less likely to make mistakes in such basic matters.”
“Therefore, I can be sure that these City Lords will keep the crucial information firmly in their hands, and even their most trusted confidants might not know it.”
Pausing for a moment, Burt gently stroked his white beard and added, “My Lord, on the other hand, in some ways, this might also be a good thing for us.”
