Hearing Fang Hao’s agreement, a smile appeared on Lyss’ elderly face.
“Good, tomorrow will work.” Miriam said.
Fang Hao stood up and glanced around, then continued to ask, “Is there a back door here? When we come tomorrow, there will be more of us and we will bring some weapons. I’m afraid coming in through the front door will cause chaos.”
Lyss thought about it and agreed. Even the guards brought by Fang Hao had already caused quite a stir on their way there.
If more people were to come tomorrow, carrying a large amount of weaponry, there could indeed be chaos.
Miriam guided Fang Hao and his companions towards the right.
“There is a back door. It is rarely opened and is always guarded. Mr. Fang Hao, when you come with your people, you can go straight through this door, just let the guard know.”
On the right, there was a single iron gate with an assistant priest on guard.
Miriam walked forward to converse briefly with the assistant priest. The latter glanced at Fang Hao’s group and gave a nod of approval.
Soon, Miriam returned.
With Fang Hao and the others, the group exited from the main door. “I have explained everything. When the time comes, you can come directly through the back door, she will open it for you.”
“Okay.”
The group made their way back the way they came. Fang Hao and others didn’t linger and directly left the temple.
They climbed into the carriage and returned to their own dwellings.
…
Lyss City, the north city gate.
Including Ren Jun, three transmigrators, had packed their belongings, and were quietly waiting at the gate.
All three were dressed as ordinary farmers.
Squatting by the roadside, they looked like laborers waiting for work.
By midday, a troupe of cavalry arrived, raising a cloud of dust in their wake.
Ren Jun and the others were rather taken aback.
All of them were eighth-rank cavalrymen, and there were close to a thousand of them.
Compared with the troops in Belisis City, their momentum was much greater.
The person at the forefront removed his helmet, revealing a young transmigrator’s appearance.
The newcomer was Fu Lei, who had come specially to fetch them.
“Which one of you is Ren Jun?” Fu Lei glanced at the trio, their heads wrapped tightly, only their eyes visible.
“I-I am Ren Jun,” Ren Jun quickly stood up.
Fu Lei nodded, and continued to ask: “Where are your villagers? Aren’t you taking them with you this time?”
Ren Jun promptly replied, “We thought about transporting all of them, but we were afraid it would attract the attention of the Faceless. Therefore, we didn’t bring them along. But rest assured, there are fields in the city, so there’s plenty of food.”
Fu Lei nodded without saying much.
This was a matter he was handling at Fang Hao’s request. Whether or not they brought their villagers was not within the scope of his duties.
He ordered some people to bring up three horses.
“All right, then, follow me. Live with us for a while, and once it’s safe again, you can return.”
The three of them got on the horses.
With a wave of Fu Lei’s hand, the cavalry turned around and headed towards the fishing village.
…
On the other side.
Lyss City, the city lord’s mansion.
Inside the room of City Lord Aubrey.
Aubrey sat at the edge of his bed, drinking fruit wine to quench his thirst, while on the bed, a woman with white skin and golden hair lied, smiling seductively.
Seeing Aubrey, who was sweating profusely, the woman laughed and teased: “Aubrey, is that all you got?”
The woman shamelessly lay bare on the bed, her face still covered by a veil made of gold thread, adding a unique allure.
“Lady Adeline, I’m just a normal man, it’s quite normal for me not to have your stamina.” Aubrey, while wiping his sweat, said.
Adeline, the new leader of the Faceless, commanding all the Faceless inside the city, seizing the political power of Lyss City.
“Hmph, useless man.” Adeline climbed off the bed and walked gracefully to the table, picked up a wine glass and took a sip.
Continuing to ask: “Is everything ready for tomorrow’s plan?”
Aubrey, greedily staring at the attractive body before him, said: “Everything is ready. Tomorrow, the City Defense Army will be lured out of the city by a false report. The guards at the city lord’s mansion will also be those I have arranged for. Not only will Rebecca die in an ‘accident’, but that kid named Fang Hao will also be gone. Then, whatever we say will stand.”
