Chapter 555: Chapter 403: Abnormal Illusionary Realm _1
At this moment, facing the biting gale, Leo Ray, who was riding the gigantic white wolf, noticed.
The Firsdale City, situated on a plain, was almost of the same scale as Mystara City. However, it appeared much more regular.
Outside the towering city walls were vast green wheat fields, looking like shallow patches of color on the vast green plain.
A gurgling blue river ran through the wheat fields, meandering all the way into the Protective City River surrounding the city walls.
Under the brilliant sunlight, the shimmering water surface intertwined with the green of the wheat fields, looking strikingly eye-catching.
“Is this Firsdale City? I’ve heard Joshua Bingaman describe it before. Different from the tourist city, Mystara City, Firsdale City is involved in agriculture, handicraft industry, and commerce, belonging to a comprehensive medium-sized city.”
At this time, as they kept moving forward and looked at the increasingly larger city walls in the distance, Leo Ray shifted his gaze, continuing to observe.
Not far from Firsdale City, one could still clearly see the large peaks of the Pine Sound Range soaring into the clouds, looking extremely spectacular.
Observing this, Leo Ray lowered his body and buried his profile in the dense white wolf fur while revealing a thoughtful expression.
He murmured to himself, “Firsdale City and Mystara City are both located at the edge of the Coldflame Kingdom’s eastern region, where the Territory lies.
From here, troops can be dispatched to strike directly into the Coldflame hinterland, as well as relying on the Pine Sound Range to cut off the connection between the Coldflame Eastern Region and other regions. The geographical location is extremely important.”
In a flash, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, continuing to ponder, “According to my current plan, after successful subduing Ariel Watson, helping her ascend to the throne and become the Queen of Coldflame City is the first step.
Naturally, it is to completely control the entire Coldflame Eastern Region, using it as the foundation to form a standoff with the other regions, where the three Princes each hold their own.”
Looking at the receding scenery around him, Leo Ray’s eyes blazed, and he pondered, “With Ariel Watson’s status as the Coldflame Fifth Princess and my increasingly powerful energy, as long as we are well-prepared, completing this first step won’t be difficult.”
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and Leo Ray fell into deep thought again, secretly considering, “Of course, this is just a rough framework.
There are many things that still need to be done in between, such as mobilizing the army to attack cities and seize territories, paralyzing the mysterious organizations hidden in the shadows, and utilizing their border standoffs.”
In short, at least for now, everything seems to be progressing smoothly.”
Just as Leo Ray thought up to this point, his group of ten, clad in Invisibility Cloaks, could clearly see the armed and armored city guards atop the towering city walls of Firsdale City, as well as the bustling traffic of carriages and people at the City Gate.
“From this peaceful and ordinary picture, it’s hard to imagine that there’s a Red Dragon sealed underground, one that could easily destroy a city,” whispered Leo Ray, observing the lively scene not far away.
“Lord, it seems the three Tier 5 Red Dragons haven’t arrived yet!”
On the other side, a smile appeared on Joshua Bingaman’s delicate face, excitedly saying, “According to Lord’s plan, we truly made it in time!”
“Next, as long as we suppress the Red Dragon underground, our primary mission will be completed.”
Leo Ray nodded slightly and then turned to his subordinates, “Alright, there’s no time to lose. Joshua Bingaman, lead the way at the front, and let’s head directly to the sealed Giant Dragon underground.”
“Yes, my Lord!”
As he spoke, the pale blue Magic Wings behind Joshua Bingaman fluttered, bringing him to the front of the group.
A moment later, accompanied by their swift movement across the rooftops in the bustling downtown area,
a large castle at the city center came into the sight of the group.
“Reporting to Lord, that’s the City Lord Mansion of our Firsdale City.”
At this moment, Joshua Bingaman’s clear voice reached Leo Ray’s ears again, “And the entrance to the underground Firsdale Territory is right within the City Lord Mansion!”
“Understood, you can handle the coordination.” Leo Ray slightly nodded, his eyes narrowed, and responded immediately.
“Please be assured, my Lord. My father will be overjoyed to meet you!”
On the other side, Joshua Bingaman’s slightly excited, crisp voice came over again.
However, just then, Taylor’s rough voice rang out unexpectedly, “Reporting to my Lord, there seems to be something odd about the City Lord Mansion ahead.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded slightly, gesturing for Taylor to continue.
“My Lord, besides the soldiers guarding the outermost perimeter, the other personnel in the castle have very weak auras, as if they are all in a comatose state.”
Following that, Taylor’s slightly solemn voice came through once more, “Originally, I thought it was due to interference from the hidden underground prohibitions.
But at this distance, I can clearly sense that there is indeed an unknown anomaly occurring within the City Lord Mansion.”
