Eastward! Eastward! (5)

After hearing Yelibell's plan, Hadessta suddenly threw his head back and burst into wild laughter.

"Ha ha!"

"Great minds think alike!" (Hadessta)

"Great minds think alike! (Gilkunis, Wattster, Woodman, Radel)"

Looking at the five people speaking in unison, Yelibell and Hadessta were both dumbfounded.

"How did you know I was going to say that?" (Hadessta)

After Hadessta finished speaking, Yelibell looked at Gilkunis and the other three with a puzzled expression, hoping to learn the truth from them.

Feeling the gazes of the two men, Gilkunis and the other three exchanged glances, then shouted in unison again, "When have you ever heard a good suggestion? You always say it like this!"

Upon hearing this, Yelibell realized that someone had a criminal record! However, the situation was urgent, and this wasn't the time to discuss such matters. They could deal with things here first, and then address the person's past issues. Therefore, Yelibell had no choice but to speak up for the expert, clearing him of trouble and ensuring the plan could be implemented as soon as possible.

"Alright! Uncle, Aunt, we can discuss Uncle Hadessta's lesson plan after this crisis is over. Let's get on with the plan now!"

Since the parties whose ideas were being used had forgiven him, what could Gilkunis and the others say? Therefore, after nodding to Yelibell, they all went down to carry out the plan.

Philiers, the eastern suburbs of the city

"Buzz"

A sudden tremor ran through the silent woods, followed by countless silver rays shooting out from the ground, illuminating the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

A moment later, the Silver-White Light disappeared, and a group of people dressed in moon-white robes and holding long staffs appeared in the jungle.

Looking up at the moon in the sky and then at the giant city not far away, an old man in a gray robe standing at the front of the group said, "This should be the eastern suburbs of Philiers, and the giant city ahead should be Philiers."

"Lord Ogg, in that case, I will lead the Third Restraint Force into the city and capture that lawless King Erus!"

Seeing his subordinate turn and head toward Philiers, Ogg quickly stopped him.

"Robert, you stop right there!"

Upon hearing Ogg's words, the captain of the Third Restraint Force, who was walking briskly, immediately stopped.

"Lord Ogg, our purpose in coming to Philiers is to capture King Erus, so why are you stopping me?"

Hearing his subordinate's mindless questioning, Ogg really wanted to crack his skull open and drain all the water out. However, in order to execute the mission safely and quickly, Ogg had no choice but to explain the risks and consequences to his oblivious and impulsive captain, letting him understand what to do next. (Ogg! Thank goodness you didn't crack his skull open, otherwise this chapter would have had to be changed to "Flooding Philiers"!)

"Robert, do you know what we're supposed to do now?" (Ogg)

"Of course I know that! We have come to Philiers to arrest the heinous King Erus!" (Robert)

"Then you should know which faction Philiers belongs to, right? (Ogg)"

Robert was a little confused by Ogg's question, unsure of what he was trying to say. However, instinctively, he answered the seemingly idiotic question.

"Reporting to Lord Ogg, Philiers is the capital of the Erus Kingdom and is subordinate to the King Erus. (Robert)"

"You do know this is the capital of the Erus Kingdom? Do you really think you can capture King Erus by just barging in like this? (Ogg)"

At this point, Captain Robert finally understood what Ogg meant.

"Then, Lord Ogg, what do you suggest we do?" (Robert)

Seeing that his subordinates had finally grasped the point, Ogg smiled with satisfaction and said, "You go and select some agile men to come with me and infiltrate the city to seize King Erus. The rest of you will stay outside the city to provide support and ensure a safe retreat after the mission is completed."

After Ogg finished speaking, Robert nodded and said, "Alright! I'll take care of it right away!"

Philiers, Royal Palace, Council Hall

Sordil, who had been sitting on the throne, suddenly opened his eyes and revealed a cunning smile.

"You rascal, what's on your mind now that makes you smile so sinisterly?"

Upon hearing Her Highness the Queen's words, the smile on Old Suo's lips became even more pronounced.

"Hehe! What I've thought of is naturally a good thing. So, Your Her Highness the Queen, would you like to have a deeper conversation with me?"

Looking at the three sinister, three playful, three lewd, and one lewd look on the big pig's face, Queen Irene lightly raised her right hand and rewarded him with ten Maruko.

"Knock knock"

After completing the conversion of the big pig's trotter, Her Majesty Irene smiled and said, "Your His Majesty the King, would you like to have a deeper conversation with me now?"

Upon hearing Her Majesty the Queen's question, Shakyamuni Sordil shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Now can you tell me what just happened?" (Irene)

"Uh-huh!"

Seeing Sordil nodding repeatedly, Her Majesty the Queen nodded as well, then rudely commanded, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and speak!"

Under the Queen's imposing presence, the criminal So hurriedly revealed the unusual activity he had just discovered in the east of the city, the secret conversation in the jungle, and his own countermeasures.

"Oh! I see! Then what are you doing here chatting with me? Get back to work!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After nodding repeatedly in agreement, the defeated soldier scurried off to work for Her Majesty the Queen.

Philiers East Gate

"Hey! Those guys from the Magic Council are really annoying. They actually took advantage of our weakened state to launch a sneak attack on Philiers!"

Hearing his comrade's complaint, another gatekeeper laughed and said, "Hehe! Buddy, you should be secretly happy. If these guys didn't come and cause trouble, where would we two brothers get our credit?"

"Heh! Brother, do you think they're stupid, standing there letting you grab them? You're afraid they won't get any credit and will lose their lives instead!"

"Hey buddy, do you really think I'm going to rush up and arrest someone? I just want to see if I can pick up a scrap of goodwill, or get some credit from some big shot."

"Heh! You're quite the schemer, buddy, I'm impressed!"

"Hehe! Same here!"

Looking at the gatekeepers chatting idly in the distance, Ogg made a gesture behind him. Immediately afterwards, two Restraining Force quietly crept up behind them and knocked them unconscious.

After confirming that it was safe, the two people in front of the city gate made a hand gesture to Ogg and the others, and then Ogg and the others rushed to the city gate at an extremely fast speed.

"You two immediately change into the uniforms of these two soldiers and guard this spot to ensure the evacuation route remains clear. (Ogg)"

"Yes!"

After giving his instructions to the two men, Ogg prepared to lead his men into the city. Just then, a group of people appeared on the street and marched straight toward the city gate.

"You two don't panic, handle this carefully. The rest of you, take cover immediately!" (Ogg)

"Yes!"

After Ogg finished speaking, everyone hurriedly began to act.

A moment later, the group of people stopped not far from the city gate. At this moment, one of the officers came out and shouted towards the city gate, "Sig, Zat, are you alright over there?"

"Fine!"

"Huh? Sig, why does your voice sound different?"

"Sir, I caught a bad cold today, so my voice is a little different!"

"Oh! Is that so? Okay then! You guys keep watch, we'll go check somewhere else!"

"Respectfully seeing off the commander!"

"No! You mustn't move! His Majesty is at the Training Brigade not far away, reforming those three dangerous elements we just captured. If the enemy sneaks in because we're sending them here and gets hurt, neither of us can bear the consequences!"

"Yes, sir! Then we won't see you off, sir!"

"It's best if you don't see me off! I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"

With that, the officer led his men away and disappeared into the dark streets.

After everyone had gone far away, Ogg and the others who had been hiding all around came out of their hiding place.

"Heh! This is truly effortless, Lord Ogg. Let's head to that Training Brigade immediately!" (Robert)

Although Ogg felt something was amiss, he didn't believe the other party had discovered them, much less set such a trap for them. Therefore, he suppressed his unease and nodded, agreeing to his captain's suggestion.

"Alright! Head to the Training Brigade immediately!"

After speaking, the group passed through the city gate and made their way towards the Training Brigade.

Not long after Ogg and the others left, a dozen or so figures dressed in black bodysuits emerged from the shadows of the street, and the leader was the officer from before.

"Hmph! These useless trash dare to challenge His Majesty? They're truly overestimating themselves!"

Upon hearing the officer's words, one of the Black-clothed person said, "Boss, should we take action now and take those two guys at the door...?"

As he spoke, the Black-clothed person made a throat-slitting gesture.

Seeing his subordinate's actions, the officer shook his head and said, "No rush! Wait a little longer!"

"Boss, what are we waiting for? There are only two of them. We can take them down in no time!"

Hearing his subordinate's words, the officer said coldly, "What do you know, kid! These two guys are on edge right now, extremely vigilant. If we act rashly, they're very likely to discover us. If they make any noise, those people will definitely notice, and then they'll realize this is a trap."

"Realizing the danger, they'll surely abandon their mission and flee outside the city. When His Majesty blames them, will you take responsibility?" (Officer)

After the officer finished speaking, everyone realized the importance of the matter, so they all shut their mouths and obediently waited for the order to take action.
