Chapter 491: Chapter 371: Unexpected Guests in Empty Green Town_1
At this moment, looking at the respectfully standing subordinates below, Leo Ray couldn’t help but reveal a contemplative expression again.
“According to the defense army battalion commander Kara from Mystara City, my next target for submission is Holy Light General Joshua, who is by Ariel’s side.”
He was born in Redarrow City, which is about three days’ carriage ride from Milan Town and located between the Territory and Cyan Town, on the downstream bank of the river.”
Five years ago, it was just an ordinary fishing town, run by a declining count family.
As an orphan, Joshua came from the monastery in this town and was eventually adopted by the City Lord’s family, receiving a formal education and laying a solid foundation for his later fame in the Coldflame Company.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray took the white porcelain cup handed over by a maid, gazing at the steaming hot black tea inside.
Continuing to ponder, he said, “However, after Joshua came of age and joined the Coldflame Royal Army, Redarrow City experienced an extremely professional bandit raid.”
This led to the complete annihilation of the Redarrow City Lord’s Mansion and its defense army, including Joshua’s adoptive parents, turning Redarrow City into a land without a master overnight.”
Even the monastery that had taken in many orphans, where Joshua had been as a child, did not escape the disaster and was directly engulfed in flames.”
After taking a sip of the steaming tea, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown and fall into deep thought again, “In the end, after a series of investigations, the culprit behind all this was found to be Marquis Rocky, the City Lord of Pinehaven City in the surrounding area.”
The so-called bandits were merely the elite soldiers under his command in disguise.”
As for his purpose, it was quite simple – to annex Redarrow City and develop Magic Pearl Monster cultivation, turning Redarrow City into his own money tree.
This move also resulted in numerous casualties among the local residents of Redarrow City.”
After all, the Magic Pearl Monster is an extremely ferocious and difficult to manage magical beast.
Of course, the lives of these lower-class people were of little concern to the aloof Marquis Rocky.”
Taking another sip of the steaming hot black tea, Leo Ray’s frown grew tighter as he continued to ponder, “According to Kara’s further description, I learned that all these things were eventually admitted by Marquis Rocky himself.”
However, since he had the most powerful Great Prince of the Coldflame Royal Family behind him, even Joshua, who knew the whole truth, could do nothing to him and had to let his enemy wreak havoc in his hometown with impunity.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray drank more than half of the black tea in his cup and couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
He thought to himself, “Thus, the matter is undoubtedly very clear and simple.”

To win over Holy Light General Joshua, I naturally have to start with Marquis Rocky.”
What others fear, the Great Prince behind him, poses no major threat to me, an Otherworldly Lord currently hiding in the shadows.”
However, a direct conflict with this Great Prince is just a matter of time.”
After all, according to Ariel’s personal maid Celeste and the Imperial Guard Vice Team Leader Gregg, this Great Prince was also involved in many attempts to assassinate Ariel, with extremely ruthless means.”
Once they become aware of my existence, I’m afraid Marquis Rocky, who is not far from the Territory and Cyan Town, will inevitably become their pawn and pose a considerable threat to us.”
Therefore, cutting off this person’s wings in advance is only a matter of advantage.”
Just as Leo Ray was pondering this, his Mind Talk alert suddenly rang without warning.”
Connecting, Serena Clark’s full of energy voice came through immediately, “Reporting to Lord, an emergency situation has just occurred!”
My subordinate Stella Clark and I have just spotted a suspicious Tier 3 Pinnacle powerhouse near the Cyan Town Lord’s Mansion, who was captured successfully by us.”
Afterwards, we discovered that before being captured, this person had silently killed two patrolling squads of the Cyan Town Defense Army.”
It seems they were looking for an opportunity to sneak into the City Lord Mansion!”
“He even killed two of my squads. This guy has issued himself a death warrant.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray’s face suddenly showed a trace of sternness, and then he asked, “Where is he now?”
“Replying to Lord, this person has been imprisoned by Stella Clark and me in the secret dungeon within the City Lord Mansion.”
Moreover, Linda and Rhizoma Drynariae have already strengthened the vigilance around the mansion and completely sealed off the news. Please rest assured, Lord.”
Following that, Stella Clark’s crisp and neat voice once again entered Leo Ray’s ear.”
“You’ve done very well. This matter is not a trivial one. The top priority is to figure out the other party’s background. Wait for my arrival in the Lord’s Mansion.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray drank the remaining tea in his cup.
Then he looked at the main force powerhouses such as Taylor, Gideon Black, and Scarlett who were below and said, “Prepare to set off. Let’s go to Cyan Town first!”
“Yes, Lord!” The subordinates bowed immediately, all ready to spring into action.
