"Your Excellency, I think we should take the initiative and attack!" Yang Bo went straight to the point when he found the City Lord.
"What good suggestions do you have?" The City Lord was now somewhat blindly trusting Handy.
"This morning, the thieves guild members were clearly less enthusiastic than yesterday, because they believe they have no ability to breach Green City!"
"I personally suspect that most of them are now thinking about running away."
"I observed carefully. They are very likely to use Incendiary Bombs or something similar today!"
"Once they use Incendiary Bombs, it will boost their morale!"
"Moreover, once they use Incendiary Bombs, they will distract our city's defenders and might even cause some uncontrollable developments."
"I intend to strike first, targeting the Silver-haired Middle-aged Man—the commander managing the catapults and their operators." Yang Bo then explained his plan in detail.
The City Lord of Green City was tempted after hearing Handy's suggestion. If the enemy used Incendiary Bombs or other weapons, it would have a huge impact on their side and might even harm the city's residents.
Everyone now believed Green City could not be breached, and that the people inside Green City would certainly not dare to risk coming out. This was precisely the time to catch them off guard.
"Good. I'll issue the order immediately!" The City Lord followed Handy's advice. He did not seek to capture both noble commanders; that was unrealistic.
Clearly, the noble private force controlling the catapults had more powerful backing.
That also meant the noble family behind them was enormous. The City Lord could roughly guess which family it was, but he had no evidence.
As long as he captured this man, his family would gain enormous benefits—whether by publicly striking at a rival family or by demanding compensation
