Although the number of Extraordinary Ones on the side of the reactionary forces was more than double that of the noble faction, most of them did not achieve their promotions through normal means.

These individuals were either gang leaders or merchants before, and some were even unknown before the riot broke out.

It's unclear if it's due to unfamiliarity with their suddenly acquired Extraordinary powers, but records show their strength is somewhat weaker than that of a normal Extraordinary One.

Some Extraordinary Ones on the noble side can even fight multiple opponents, and on top of that, the noble faction also has Earl of Glennbergen, a Great Knight.

The gap between a first-tier and second-tier Extraordinary One could be seen from his battle with the Divine Wind Adventurer Group; in that instance, he didn't exactly cut through them like butter, but he didn't exert much effort either.

Earl of Glennbergen, who according to the records had been a Great Knight for decades, couldn't possibly be weaker than his usual state, could he?

With this doubt, Liens asked Elsa, who was beside him.

"Since we weren't directly involved in the battles between the two sides, we're not very clear about this situation."

"However, before the day the riot broke out, the Earl seemed to have contracted a serious illness, and there were even rumors that he didn't have long to live."

"But when the reactionary forces were about to break into the Inner City, the Earl suddenly appeared and crushed their offensive. Since then, the two factions have been in a stalemate."

"And the Earl has rarely shown signs of fighting… Perhaps that serious illness is still affecting him, after all, he is already seventy or eighty years old."

"Both sides are probably waiting, waiting for the Earl to recover or to completely succumb to his illness."

Elsa replied.

"Seriously ill, huh."

Liens murmured softly.

"Never mind. Regardless, this should be a good thing for us. If the Earl cannot act, our evacuation should be much easier."

"Miss Elsa, are there any quiet, undisturbed rooms left in the Adventurers' Association right now?"

"I've been traveling for two days and want to rest. Once President Benjamin and the others return, we can continue discussing the evacuation plan."

Liens asked Elsa with a smile.

He wasn't tired; he just wanted to "personally" gather information. After all, it involved the Life of nearly ten thousand people, so he couldn't be careless.

"I'll go prepare a room for you right away."

Elsa responded, and then quickly turned and left the room to prepare a resting place for Liens.

"No need for a large room, just one where I won't be disturbed."

Liens added just before she left.

...

Quiet room.

A secluded, small room.

It's unclear if Elsa was being straightforward, or if the Adventurers' Association truly had no other rooms available.

Ultimately, to meet Liens's request for an undisturbed space, the Adventurers' Association quickly cleared out a secluded storage room and let Liens stay there.

The size of this storage room wasn't even much larger than the compartment the Divine Wind Adventurer Group had arranged for him in the Earth Dragon Beast carriage.

It was only because Liens didn't mind, and even used wind to blow the dust out of the room, otherwise, if it were another Great Knight, they might have been displeased.

Liens casually lay on the bedding provided by the Adventurers' Association, closed his eyes, and entered the Adventurer.

The scene shifted.

Liens's figure appeared on a desolate street.

At this moment, it was the time after he left the city gate and was heading towards the Adventurers' Association's headquarters.

However, this time, he wasn't going to the Adventurers' Association; instead, he planned to visit the areas currently occupied by the two opposing forces.

After the battle with the Divine Wind Adventurer Group, although his understanding of his own strength became clearer, he didn't dare to be careless.

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated.

Only by understanding the enemy's strength can he better ensure the smooth progress of the evacuation plan, reducing or even ensuring that all civilians sheltered by the Adventurers' Association can safely evacuate Kara City.

Thinking of this, a sense of mission inexplicably arose in Liens's heart.

Of course, he didn't feel that the emotion rising in his heart was a sense of mission; he merely thought he was excited about the upcoming battle.

As soon as he thought about fighting the old man who had once crushed him, he couldn't help but feel excited.

However, this surging emotion did not make him lose his composure; the profound fighting intent only made his spirit more concentrated and his eyes more indifferent.

With a thought in his mind, Liens swiftly headed towards the Inner City. Before long, he arrived at the Inner City gate.

Unlike the Outer City gate, which had virtually no defenses, the Inner City gate was heavily guarded.

Just from a quick glance, Liens saw dozens of guards, and their equipment was clearly much more sophisticated than those at the Outer City gate; every one of them wore armor.

The security levels of the two were completely incomparable.

Liens glanced at the guards on duty, confirmed that there was no elemental reaction on them, and then ignored them.

He increased his speed, flying over the Inner City wall at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, and entered the Inner City.

"Whoosh, whoosh…"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded the moment Liens stepped into the Inner City.

"Warning, warning, intruder detected, a powerful Extraordinary One has invaded the Inner City."

"Warning, warning…"

In an instant, the alarm blared throughout the Inner City.

"Huh, how did I get exposed? Are those guards' eyesight that good?"

Liens was a little surprised, then turned his gaze towards the Inner City gate. With just one look, he knew how he had been exposed.

"So it's a magic ritual, they're really rich."

With Liens's current knowledge of magic, he easily recognized what had exposed him.

He could even tell that this magic ritual, which enveloped the entire Inner City, not only had reconnaissance functions but also possessed very strong external defensive capabilities. This vеrsiоn wаs sоurсеd frоm

Of course, defensive capabilities require higher energy consumption, and even if Kara City's nobles were rich, they couldn't keep it activated constantly.

The activation and maintenance of a magic ritual require a large supply of energy from magic stones. Even the ritual developed by the Four Great Powers in Hughes Town, while maintained by surrounding elements, still required a certain amount of magic stones to activate.

And now, during wartime, magic stones, as reserve resources, would surely diminish with each use, making them difficult to replenish even with money.

"Thump, thump, thump…"

A large number of guards surrounded Liens's position.

Because he had stopped to observe the magic ritual, his figure was also exposed to the guards' eyes.

They tightly gripped their weapons, staring sternly at Liens, who was at the center of the encirclement, but they did not actively attack.

They weren't deaf; they had naturally heard the broadcast just now.

So they knew that Liens in front of them was an Extraordinary One, and likely a powerful one.

Otherwise, the alarm wouldn't have specifically warned with the words "powerful existence."

Liens looked at the soldiers surrounding him, not caring.

These guards didn't even have an Extraordinary One among them, and there were so few of them, posing no threat at all. He simply had no interest in slaughtering them, otherwise, he would have killed them already.
