    “So, it’s because I can’t see through the strength of anyone in the room… And that burly man seems to be a Tier 5 Powerhouse with immense strength!”


    At this moment, Nathan Howard was looking at Leo Ray sitting in the top position and the subordinates standing proudly, feeling a surge of awe in his heart.


    He never expected that the young man with a gentle face in front of him was hiding such a vast amount of power!


    “Having the loyalty of a Tier 5 Powerhouse, who exactly is this young lord? Is he really just a City Lord?”


    As he looked up at theposed Leo Ray, Nathan’s throat rolled, and he couldn’t help but swallow.


    With such strength, it’s more than enough to deal with the two Tier Second level mine defense teams equipped with sophisticated gear!


    Realizing this, a trace of uncontroble joy appeared on Nathan’s resolute face.


    If this Lord is willing to help the people of Ma Town,


    Then, these dark days may finally being to an end!


    “I know that Rhizoma Drynariae has a rigid and upright character, so much so that he didn’t get along with the former Lord of Cyan Town.”


    Overjoyed, Nathan continued to think: “However, this new City Lord can actually make someone like Rhizoma Drynariae sing his praises and willingly submit, which shows that he is no ordinary person.


    What’s even more incredible is that this Lord is willing to save the trapped residents of Cyan Town… s, if only my City Lord had half of his magnanimity.


    Our Ma Town wouldn’t have fallen into such a miserable state!”


    At this thought, the crisp sound of armor shing rang out, as Nathan lowered his head, kneeled to Leo Ray, and said, “Commander Nathan of the Ma Town Defense Army, pays his respects to the Lord of Cyan Town!”


    “Commander Nathan, there’s no need for such formalities.”


    Nodding with satisfaction, Leo Ray slightly raised his hand, gesturing for him to stand, and then said, “I presume you are already aware of our purpose foring here? We’ll need Commander Nathan’s help on this trip, please forgive us for any inconvenience.”


    “My Lord, you’re too kind.”


    On the other side, Nathan hurriedly waved his hand, looking somewhat overwhelmed as he said, “To be honest, in recent years, due to the City Lord’s stubborn insistence on ordering everyone to mine without regard for consequences,


    The entire Ma Town is on the verge of copse, making it difficult to secure even the most basic needs, like food and clothing. Coupled with the high-intensity work, the cries of hunger and cold can be heard everywhere, as the poption sharply declines.


    If this continues, I’m afraid it won’t be long before Ma Town bes a ghost town.”


    Having said this, Nathan sighed and shook his head helplessly, continuing, “Even our two Defense Army Corps take turns guarding and mining in Ma Town. As for our sries, it is a great fortune just to stay alive.”


    “So it has reallye to this point.”


    Nodding slightly, Leo Ray lifted his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea just brewed by Abigail before asking, “What exactly happened at that time, causing the Lord of Ma City to be so desperate in ordering everyone to mine?”


    “My Lord, as for this matter, I don’t quite understand it either.”


    Nathan sighed softly again, looking puzzled as he shook his head and went on, “As you might already know, back then, this zing Crystal Mine was being developed jointly by the former Lord of Cyan City and our Lord of Ma City.


    At first, everything was normal until one day, an unexpected turn of events urred.”


    Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded and gestured for Nathan to continue.


    “Once, our Lord of Ma Town suddenly gathered us officials and announced that from then on, Ma Town would exclusively develop the ore vein. He then ordered the removal of the Mercenary Guild, Merchant Union, Sanders’ Trading Conference, and all other forces in the city.”


    At this time, Nathan’s eyes seemed lost in memories, “At that time, the opposing officials were all imprisoned by the City Lord without exception. It was also during that period that our City Lord sessively recruited two notorious mine defense middle teams from outside the city.”


    Upon saying this, Nathan clenched his fists tightly and continued, “The members of these two mine defense middle teams are all above the Tier Second level and well-equipped, with three Tier 3 Powerhouses stationed.


    Our two Defense Army Corps, however, only have me as a Tier Third-levelmander. We barely have enough food every day, and our weapons and equipment are in terrible condition.


    Moreover, with our families controlled by them and with threats and promises, we’ve been enduring silently until now.


    However, I’m not hiding it from my Lord, recently, when we could bear it no longer, we’ve been looking for an opportunity to let them taste the bitterness.”


    “I see.”


    Nodding slightly, Leo Ray signaled Amelia by his side to pour Nathan another cup of tea and continued to listen intently.


    “Thank you very much, my Lord!”


    epting the steaming white porcin cup, an overwhelmed Nathan thought for a moment before saying, “By the way, there’s one more thing. Under the order of our City Lord at that time,
