"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."
