"...The Enterprise expedition had appeared in the northern suburbs?"
Boulder Military Industries Building, chairman's office.
Seated behind his desk, Ibers's face was filled with surprise after listening to his subordinate's report.
Unlike Melvin, Dulong, and the others, he certainly did not need to obtain information about the northern suburbs through something like the "Survivor Daily." As early as late yesterday, spies disguised as mercenaries and caravan guards had informed him that a group of merchants suspected of coming from Utopia City had appeared in the northern suburbs.
After a night of investigation, he could finally confirm that those people were Enterprise professional soldiers.

Standing beside him, the old secretary seemed to have reached the same conclusion. He spoke slowly.

He had his own intelligence network, and the wise and mighty city lord naturally had one as well.
However, as that man's most loyal servant, he should report the news the moment he learned
