The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Aarons didn't know what the people on the White Bird were worried about, because he had just received some unexpected information on the ground.

[Boss, we saw a piece of news that will be published soon. According to reliable sources, in half a month, the forces of the eldest prince will launch a full-scale attack on the imperial capital to fight a decisive battle with the second prince who is entrenched there.]

"A decisive battle? So hasty?"

[During this period, information transmission within the empire has not been smooth, so we specifically observed the trade situation here. We can judge that the two princes have stabilized their sphere of influence and have stored up sufficient resources. ]

Even though the country was in a state of war, private trade between the various powers was not completely cut off - the empire's resources were unevenly distributed, and it was difficult to achieve self-sufficiency by relying on just one territory.

Moreover, the eldest prince and the second prince actually represent the nobility and the army, and have nothing to do with the common people.

[One more thing, we got the statistics of the "goods", confirming that Duke Oufei has mined and stored a huge amount of burning crystals. This information has been sent back to Bai Niao before, and Madam Jiangyue is currently analyzing it.]

"Thank you for your hard work, this information is very useful."

Duke Ophelia is constantly digging dangerous fuel from the earth veins, and Aarons still hasn't guessed what he wants to do in this war.

The best way to gather intelligence is to confront the Duke in person.

"Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion, Qianyun. I'll ask you to protect me on the way."

After indeed deepening their relationship the night before, Mo Qianyun's spiritual side had grown significantly.

After completely abandoning her previous shyness and inferiority, this heroic and pretty female swordsman was completely reborn - now she is like a sharp blade returned to its sheath, although she does not look sharp at all, but she can make people feel as if a knife is being placed on their neck.

Maybe this is what she should look like.

"Before that, let's stop by the place we were at yesterday... to see how the city reacts to the attack."

……

Aarons is not doing this in vain.

Even if it was just a bait, there should have been some reaction after the Duke's capital was attacked by the enemy.

But judging from the situation last night, this city has not only become accustomed to this kind of situation, but it doesn't even have any prepared countermeasures - after the guards guarding the warehouse were suddenly killed, no one noticed it in time.

If that monster entered the urban area... the consequences would be disastrous.

“…You’re the only one who can clean up after this?”

When Aarons brought Mo Qianyun quietly back to the scene, he only saw a few people cleaning up the scene and counting supplies.

Those soldiers guarding the warehouse were like they had never existed... no one cared at all.

"Something's wrong... Dark Wing, are there any changes in the city's security and soldier movements?"

[It seems there are some personnel changes. Do you need to investigate these matters? ]

"Not for now, but keep an eye on it for me."

This situation doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it. Even if this world is not very kind to combat professionals who live on the edge of a knife, life is not so worthless.

Why are people in this city so indifferent to life?

"... Let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion."

It is actually very simple to get the answer, and Aarons does not intend to waste any more time.

In fact, Bai Niao had urged him many times to return as soon as possible - after all, there were many dangers on the ground, and Mo Qianyun was alone and might not be able to take care of all the problems.

But no matter what, Duke Oufei is definitely not someone who can be trusted.

……

"Who would believe such nonsense? Arrest them!"

However, Aarons' journey to solve the mystery was not very smooth.

He first arrived at the City Lord's Mansion according to standard procedures, and after actively reporting his name, he directly made the request to "contact Duke Oufei."

But for some reason, the other party rudely rejected this request and sent a large number of guards to arrest him directly.

"Alas... there will always be situations where we can't communicate."

Under such circumstances, Aarons began to feel physically and mentally tired.

Ordinary warriors and magicians could never be Mo Qianyun's opponents, but these people seemed to have no fear of fighting - following an order from someone who looked like the captain, they picked up their weapons and rushed towards Aarons.

Perhaps this is the norm in this world? Was I living too comfortably before?

While thinking about such an insignificant question, Aarons used his mental power to give instructions to Mo Qianyun. The black-haired female guard drew out her long sword without hesitation, attaching the extremely sharp triple attributes of wind, thunder and ice to the blade.

"Don't even think about being rude to the Lord!"

Because he was used to seeing powers far beyond common sense, Aarons didn't even realize that this was a very strange scene.

Mo Qianyun casually swung his sword, and the sword energy alone was enough to cut through the armor on the guards - and the magic of ice and lightning would freeze and paralyze their bodies, making them lose the ability to move in an instant.

But even if these people fell to the ground, they were still struggling desperately to stand up and continue fighting.

“…Are these guys crazy?”

But even so, these soldiers with strength of only level three or four could not withstand Mo Qianyun's attack. After a few breaths, all the guards of the City Lord's Mansion were knocked down.

At this moment, Aarons suddenly realized that the captain who gave the order to attack seemed to have secretly eaten something while others were not paying attention.

"Woo - I swear to protect the Duke until my death!"

Before Aarons could start thinking, an extremely strong fighting spirit erupted from the captain of the guards.

Even though Aarons couldn't quite distinguish the levels of the warriors, he could see that the opponent's strength was far beyond what those soldiers could match.

"An Yi, come to the City Lord's Mansion immediately. We may have discovered important information."

【Understood, please wait. 】

Even though the enemy's strength was indeed somewhat unexpected, Aarons did not feel any fear in his heart.

Because just now, the small flying weapon specially made by Shiratori has been dropped... and is already hovering over the city.

"Qianyun, just delay the time."

"As ordered."

The opponent was obviously a little strange, so Aarons planned to take the opportunity to investigate - and the official who had just rejected Aarons' request had already hidden in the building and had no intention of coming out again.

In this case, there is of course only one way to solve the problem.

"Since there is such an opportunity, let's finish all the work."
