Chapter 74: Deciding Fate in the Depths of the Alley_1

"As I said before, one cannot sleep soundly with an enemy beside them."

This applies to us as well as to the local powers."

With a faint smile, Taylor was led into a quiet alley.

Leaning against the wall, Leo Ray asked, "Taylor, how do you think the City Lord would react when he discovers that a force like us exists just a few kilometers away in The Demonic Shadow Forest?"

"My Lord, based on his ruthless temperament, I fear he would unite all the forces in the city to attack us at any cost to eliminate the imminent threat." Taylor responded with a fist-and-palm salute after some thought.

"That's right; if that happens, it would be a big trouble."

With a slight nod, Leo Ray continued, "After resolving the crisis of the Half-Elves and Half-Orcs in the Barrier, the biggest threat we are facing now is undoubtedly Cyan Town itself.

So, what we need to do is to strike first to avoid the worst-case scenario."
