211: Chapter 209 Get to the pit quickly!Lately, strange rumors have been circulating in Gur City.

It was said that the City Lord had dismissed most of the city’s army, leaving only the Guards to maintain basic order, while secretly forming a new army elsewhere.

Oh, right—this wasn’t just ”gossip.”

After all, many of Gur City’s Soldiers had returned home, which the citizens and certain observant individuals had seen for themselves.

As for the latter part, some had indeed discovered that a convoy belonging to the City Lord’s Mansion would hurriedly leave the city every morning and only return as the sun set behind the mountains.

Judging by the deep ruts carved into the dirt road before the city gates, the wagons could not possibly be empty.

As for what the convoy was actually transporting, it was related to the ”gossip” of recent days.

”Years ago, the City Lord unexpectedly obtained a treasure within a certain labyrinth that can greatly enhance a legion’s combat capabilities.”

The source of the rumor could no longer be traced, but everyone from the Vice City Lord down to the street vendors had heard of it.

To the ordinary citizens, this was nothing more than idle chatter for their leisure time; however, Joey took it very seriously.

Ever since his brother’s mysterious and tragic death in the family’s secret room, Joey, fearing his identity might be exposed, had begun to live in seclusion.

He had rarely gone out in the past, and now, even that ”rarely” was gone.

But that did not mean he had lost his ability to gather intelligence.

Having operated in Gur City for many years, he still had a few trusted subordinates.

”What is that impostor planning?”

In the bedroom, Joey sat by the bed, deep in thought.

He wanted to investigate the convoy’s destination, but since his brother’s death was definitely linked to the impostor, he didn’t dare act recklessly.

”Who on earth is he? To think he could hide it from the Church and murder that idiot in my secret room.”

After thinking for a long time to no avail, Joey cursed irritably.

Although there was no evidence pointing to the City Lord, Joey’s sixth sense told him there was no other possibility.

He had been in Gur City for over forty years and everything had been peaceful, yet the very day his brother showed his face to the impostor, he was gone by the afternoon.

Joey wouldn’t believe it wasn’t his doing even if he were beaten to death.

”Knock, knock—”

There was a sudden knock on the door, followed immediately by a voice: ”Lord Joey, I have intelligence.”

It was his private secretary, brought over from the Kingdom and very trustworthy.

”Come in and speak.”

A man pushed the door open and entered, standing respectfully before him. ”Our people have found that the City Lord’s convoy is transporting a shipment of weapons to Moza Village outside the city.”

”Moza Village?”

Repeating the name of the village, Joey felt it sounded vaguely familiar.

He soon remembered that the village’s location was originally wasteland. It was only after the ”City Lord” returned from the Silent Forest that it was designated as a village for refugees who didn’t want to work on the construction projects and preferred to farm.

Joey hadn’t thought anything was amiss at the time.

The pay for working at the construction site was not low, but it was normal for some refugees to prefer farming.

Looking at it now, however, Moza Village was likely not so simple.

Folding his arms and thinking for a moment, Joey asked, ”How are the village’s defenses?”

”The subordinate who investigated was afraid of being discovered, so he didn’t conduct a close-range reconnaissance.

He watched from a distant hillside and only knows that the village is quite large—it could even be called a small town.”

I see...

This unknown development made Joey feel restless.

There were only five months left until summer; all unexpected factors had to be eliminated before then!

Deciding to take a risk, he instructed the secretary, ”Go see where the City Lord is.”

”Understood.”

The secretary also held a position in Gur City, so he could use the excuse of ”reporting official business” to find the City Lord. Joey wasn’t afraid of being detected.

About an hour later, the secretary returned.

”What is he doing?”

”Uh, the City Lord is wandering the streets of Gur City with his wife and a demi-human.”

Wandering?

What is there in Gur City worth wandering around for?

It’s one thing to be with his wife, but he’s also bringing a demi-human?
