Chapter 521 - Making Their Move The city in the northern borderland of the Lionax Kingdom, Aram City. The City was bordered by another kingdom in the north, the Kingdom of Malecia. The Kingdom of Lionax was in a bad position, getting pincered by the two kingdoms from the north and another kingdom from the south, the Kingdom of Warmir. Even so, the Kingdom of Lionax could keep the balance of power against the two kingdoms despite being pincered from the south and the north. Of course, the reason was that the resources in the Lionax Kingdom's territory were abundant, and the land was more fertile than the north and the south. The border city usually became the least destination for people to stay permanently because of the imminent war that could break anytime between the kingdoms. However, in the last three days, Aram City suddenly became crowded with people. The flow of the people who kept coming to Aram City was unusual. Even though the relationship between the Kingdom of Malecia and the Kingdom of Lionax was relatively peaceful, the threat of war was imminent. The sudden influx of people that entered the city was certainly suspicious. It was for sure unusual, but this was actually good news for the City Lord of Aram City. He was happy to receive more people into his city. Many people migrated to the city, which meant his city prospered. They had the manpower to make the city even more prosperous. In the City Lord's Mansion, at the center of Aram City, Lord Robin's office. A man in his mid-forties was leaning his back against the chair while sucking the tobacco. The man could not stop smiling each time he puffed out the smoke. While the city was happy, there was someone that looked concerned in front of the city lord. "Lord Robin, the influx of people that come to our city is not normal. We have to investigate the cause, My Lord," People of Aram called him the manager of Aram since he was the one who managed the city. In fact, he was a noble affiliated with Viscount Robin of the Rosikh Family, working directly under the City Lord of the Aram City, Yoman. "Why would you worry about this, Yoman? This is a good thing for Aram, there is no need for us to investigate the influx of our people. We should talk about the city development instead, why would you worry about this?" Lord Robin shook his head as he looked at the concerned Yoman. Yoman was his trusted man, his right-hand man that had been managing the city.
Robin could not get angry at Yoman because his right hand was doing this for the city. He could not be angry when his right hand man was concerned with his city's security. Just Yoman said, no harm was done by investigating the issue.
Yoman was relieved when Lord Robin relented, "Then I will leave now. I have something to take care of," "Alright, you can go," Lord Robin nodded his head. *** *** In a dim room, Julius Brent was sitting on the chair while he crossed his feet, hearing the report from his man, "Yoman the right hand of Robin Rosikh is suspecting our movement. From our spies, the City Lord will hold an investigation tomorrow." Julius Brent nodded his head as he heard the report, "What about our army that had gathered in the city? How many Generals have arrived in the city?" "Fifty thousand armies have gathered in the city and eight Generals have arrived in the city as well. The remaining armies will arrive within three days," The man in black reported. "I see, then let's not wait. We should make our move soon before the City Lord starts their investigation. We will make our move tonight, tell everyone to get ready!" Julius Brent gave his order. "Yes, My Lord!" The man in black replied.
