DEFEND! NOW!

Anna nodded and said, "However, I think you shouldn't take too many people with you, and you don't need to be the one to fight."

Caleb was puzzled. "Why?"

"Caleb…" Anna gently explained, "I'm afraid this might be a trap. What if it's all fake?"

Caleb frowned. "Impossible! Would they dare to deceive me? And what would be the purpose of that?"

"Of course, to lure you out of your territory. Then, they would work together to kill you."

Hearing Anna's words, Caleb suddenly shuddered. He began piecing the events together and realized she might not be wrong.

He knew that while he was strong, not every Lord feared him.

On the contrary, he knew that many Lords had secretly allied, forming small factions to eliminate him.

However, he possessed a Rank D+ hero and a Rank D hero, so he never paid much attention to those weaker Lords.

But what if this was a trap?

What if one of his subordinates was planning to betray him?
