Ilkand City.

The estate of the Wasteland Guild.

Zunong paced anxiously in the hall, his face filled with worry, glancing at the hall’s entrance from tto time.

His clenched fists revealed his inner tension.

When one of his trusted subordinates rushed into the hall, Zunong hurriedly approached and asked eagerly.

“How is it?”

Gasping for breath, his subordinate showed a letter covered in writing. “This is a reply from Lady Monica. She promises that everything she said before is effective!”

As Zunong took the letter, a system prompt sounded.

“Ding- You have accepted the quest: ‘Overthrow the Kingdom of Bass.”‘

“Quest Provider: Monica, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Lienhardt.”

“Minimum Requirement for the Quest: Open the east gate of Ilkand City at midnight today and complete the mission of inside-outside collaboration.” “Good, good, good!”

Zunong repeated “good” three times in a row, his face showing excitement that was hard to conceal.

With the promise of such a high-ranking native, they no longer had to worry about retribution after the war and could ascend to a higher level!

He quickly calmed down and gave orders in a low voice.

“Have our brothers prepare tonight. Once we open the east gate from inside, they will immediately launch an attack on the city, heading straight for the central Lord Manor at all costs, and capture the nobles of Ilkand City.

This is our declaration and the key to determining our future status in the Grand Duchy of Lienhardt!”

Tpassed slowly, and night fell.

Zunong quietly left the estate, traversing the streets under curfew and evading the patrols of the Kingdom of Bass soldiers, eventually arriving at an abandoned and desolate drill ground not far from the east gate of the city.

Looking at the silver moon hanging in the sky, a thought crossed his mind.

“The tis almost here; it’s tto begin.”

Zunong took out a Space Storage Sphere scroll from his backpack. It was a rare item he obtained from a high-level treasure chest a long tago. When used, it could create a short-lived spatial gate connecting two locations.

At this moment, this Space Storage Sphere scroll was their key to breaking through the heavily guarded city gate and capturing Ilkand City!

Without hesitation, Zunong tore it open, and with a rippie of spatial fluctuations, a pale blue spatial gate, ten meters high and fifty meters wide, slowly formed in front of him. Due to the obstructing buildings around, no soldiers noticed the appearance of the spatial gate.

After it stabilized, a unit of heavily armored cavalry that had been prepared in a hidden place outside the city began to enter.

The spatial gate vanished only when two squads of one thousand elite heavy cavalry, each at the fifth-tier four-star ranking, had assembled on the deserted training field.

People held their breath, horses gripped their bits, and hooves muffled in cloth.

Under the leadership of the hero units, they advanced towards the eastern city gate.

But the noise of so many cavalrymen running within the city quickly drew the attention of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Bass.

Rapidly, flames lit up, and curses were heard.

But it was too late. When the two units of heavily armored cavalry, a total of two thousand men, sof them leading, were exposed, they no longer concealed themselves and quickly charged toward the east gate.

Ssoldiers of the Kingdom of Bass rushed out from the side streets wanting to block their way, but when they saw heavily armored cavalry charging at them in the darkness, they were instantly frightened out of their wits. They had no desire to block infantry against heavily armored cavalry—what were they thinking?

However, there were also sbrave soldiers who rushed forward, but under the iron hooves of the cavalry, they were as fragile as dolls and could not offer any resistance.

When they saw the brightly lit east gate at the end of the street, the leading hero unit’s eyes filled with madness. He raised his weapon and shouted loudly.

“For our lord’s loyalty, seize the city gate!”

Roar!

The heavily armored cavalry began to accelerate, and in the frightened eyes of the soldiers guarding the gate, they violently collided.

In a wooded area outside the east gate, five units of Lienhardt’s thousand-strong troops lay hidden, carefully peering into the distant Ilkand City.

The towering and formidable city walls of Ilkand City, resembling hills, completely concealed the situation inside. Despite watching the city gate closely, there was still no sign of movement. The officer looked at the sky and whispered.

“So far, there’s been no activity. Are those lords of glory feeling timid or have they abandoned the cause?”

“Let’s wait a bit longer.” The officer furrowed his brow, feeling a sense of unease as well. For those Lords of Glory, breaking promises and flip-flopping were all too common occurrences. No one could guarantee if this was for real.

But they received orders from Lady Monica, and all they could do was wait.

As tticked away, it quickly approached midnight.

Seeing that there was still no sign of the city gate opening, the officer shook his head in disappointment and was about to leave with his subordinates.Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt

Then, the excited voice of his subordinate rang out. “The city gate is opening!”

The officer fixed his gaze and saw that among the nine gates on the eastern city wall, a ten-meter-high gate was slowly opening from the inside, and there were people holding torches swaying.

This was the signal that the city gate had been successfully controlled!

Could it be that those Lords of Glory actually succeeded?

Without tto dwell on his astonishment, the officer immediately shouted loudly.

“All attack! Charge into the city and secure the gate!”

Over a thousand cavalrymen quickly mounted their horses and galloped forward, leading the way into the fully opened city gate.

The rest of the soldiers followed suit, passing through the gate, which was several tens of meters thick. They set up defensive lines at the gate alongside the cavalry and opened even more city gates on the eastern city wall..
