Sneaking In

Viktor continued to explain. "I heard from the peddler by the city entrance that the entire city has been blocked off since two days ago. The reason was that Soraka Mountain has been chaotic recently and in order to maintain order in the city for parliament meeting, the entire city needs to be blocked off entirely. No one is allowed to roam freely. In order words, even if we manage to sneak into the city successfully, we are likely to be spotted by guards. This will expose our whereabouts entirely and everything will be done for."

Although there might be supporters of the Chairman among the guards, this would need to rely on their luck. At this point in time, they couldn't afford to gamble, but they had to enter the city first.
