Adult Fairy Tale: Starting With Social Security Black Stockings Little Red Riding Hood! Chapter 444

Rhode trotted all the way to the City Lord’s Mansion and found Sephiroth, Arina, and Emilia already waiting for him in the meeting room.

“Rhode, you’re finally back!”

Arina was the first to stand up, her voice urgent.

“What did you find? Why are you only coming back now?”

“Don’t rush!”

Rhode waved his hand, pulled out a chair, and sat down, taking two breaths.

“Let me have some water first!”

Emilia pushed over a glass of water. Rhode took it and drank most of it in one go before looking up at them.

“The situation is far more complicated than we thought.

Those orcs are indeed not ordinary troops; they have the support of high-ranking tribes, and their actions are very organized.

More importantly—”

He paused, his gaze becoming serious.

“They have a strange box with runes carved on its surface, clearly not an ordinary item.

I suspect that thing might be related to their action plan!”

“A box?”

Emilia frowned.

“What kind of box is it? Could it be some kind of weapon inside?”

“Possibly!”

Rhode nodded.

“But I couldn’t confirm it because I couldn’t get close.

I can only be sure that it’s very important to them!”

Sephiroth pondered for a moment before speaking.

“So, this time the orcs aren’t just trying to occupy Border City; they might have other intentions!”

“Exactly!”

Rhode stood up, spread a map on the table, and pointed at several locations with his finger.

“They previously set up a temporary camp here, then moved to here. Their direction is very clear: gradually approaching our city walls.

Adding that box to the mix, I suspect their ultimate goal might not be Border City itself, but something inside the city!”

Emilia’s eyes narrowed.

“Something inside the city? Could it be… the Magic Tower?”

“That’s possible!”

Rhode looked at her.

“To the orcs, the Magic Tower is the core of human defense.

If they can destroy the Magic Tower, the city’s defensive power will drop by more than half!”

Sephiroth pinched his chin, his brows furrowing deeper.

“If that’s the case, then we must prepare for the worst!”

Arina slapped the table. (For exhilarating novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s just go out and kill them! Aren’t they just a bunch of orcs? Is there a need to make it so complicated?”

“Don’t be impulsive!”

Rhode stared at her.

“The enemy’s actions this time are clearly well-planned. If we act rashly with just a few of us, we’ll only disrupt our rhythm, and might even fall into a trap!”

“Then what do we do?” []

Arina wrinkled her nose, looking impatient.

“We can’t just wait for them to come knocking, can we?”

“Of course not!”

Rhode sat back down, hands clasped on the table.

“First, immediately strengthen the city wall’s defenses, especially the western defensive line.

I suspect they will launch a probing attack from that direction.

Second, we need to send people to keep a close eye on their movements, especially that box. We must find out what’s inside!”

“For reconnaissance, I can go!”

Emilia volunteered.

“My magic can disguise my aura; they shouldn’t discover me!”

“I’ll go too!”

Arina immediately followed. (Rhode’s)

“You all like to keep me in the city; this time, I must go out!”

“It’s not impossible for you to go!”

Rhode glanced at her.

“But this mission is very dangerous; you can’t mess around, understand?”

“Understood, understood!”

Arina waved her hand with a smile.

“Don’t worry, I’m not a child anymore!”

Sephiroth tapped the table, bringing everyone’s attention back.

“Then leave the defense line to me. I will arrange for people to strengthen the deployment.”
