In recent days, the entire Oro City has been under strict entry and exit restrictions.

With the cooperation of Harry and Joseph, all citizens entering Oro City were strictly controlled, especially those carrying weapons or large numbers of pedestrians entering the city would be targeted afterwards. For a time, the people had many complaints about him, but Sean did not intend to relax his vigilance, and even secretly spread the news that this was to prevent the rebels from appearing again.

By the way, the revolutionary army was also demonized, and they were regarded as barbarians who left no grass or grass wherever they went.

Sean never thought that one day he would control the mainstream voice of the entire city and blur the line of sight of the public.

You know what, this method is really good.

As long as the hatred is transferred, the favorability will rise again in an instant.

You can tell from the expressions of people walking on the sand table on weekdays that at least most people still respect themselves.

However, there were no traces of the rebels for several days, and no red punctuation marks appeared on the map on the sand table. Even the pink ones that appeared were investigated by Joseph and the four-man mercenary team.

Only those who are confirmed to be just complaining will be let off; if their identities are unclear, they will be arrested and interrogated.

But even in a city of hundreds of thousands of people, it is impossible to reach all of them. There are still many people who escape strict inspection in the streets and alleys of Oro City and even in the small towns around the city.

Sean noticed this through the sand table.

It started probably yesterday afternoon, maybe a little later.

Because the visibility is poor at night, even the sandbox will automatically enter the night environment. The streets will become dark, and pedestrians representing favorability will not appear in the shadows.

Yesterday evening, Sean noticed two or three small red dots, a little darker than pink, moving around in the northern part of the city. Oro City is directly connected to big cities like Lietis to the north, so mercenaries or northern caravans choose to live here, resulting in a large and chaotic population in the north.

However, Sean paid special attention to these red dots because they were obvious. They did not stay in the city for too long and left the city before dusk. They did not even rest in the city.

Sean called Barnier and four others to the Earl's Mansion.

"Have any large mercenary groups come to the city recently?" Sean asked the few people while looking at the sand table.

Now these four people are also his subordinates. Even if they are not directly under his command, at least they are paid by him. Therefore, as long as there is a task given to them, the four of them will complete it first.

Some time ago, we had mentioned the possibility that the rebels might attack Oro City, so the four of them joined the team that secretly investigated the rebels.

"Not yet."

"We have been paying close attention to the situation of the Mercenary Guild these days, but the ones who have come here recently are all regular mercenary teams, and there are no rebel members among them," said Banil.

The four had their own methods of confirming whether the mercenaries were rebels.

"That's good. Since the mercenaries don't have any, will the caravan have any?" Sean asked again.

"The caravans haven't changed much lately, it's been pretty normal. But I heard there's going to be a war in the north, so many merchants are buying supplies at high prices."

Barnier's words also reminded Sean that once the war in the north broke out, prices might start to skyrocket, so he had to make preparations for supplies in advance.

But then again, if there were no suspicious people in the mercenary group and the caravan, then who were those people with hatred levels above yesterday? Because the generals around him were no longer there in the evening, Sean did not have time to have people keep an eye on them, and they were active for a very short time.

Quickly enter the city and quickly leave the city.

"Master Sean."

While he was thinking, Latina in front of him suddenly called him.

"What's wrong Latina?"

The girl in front of him was a rare fan of his. No matter what mission he assigned the four-person team to do, she always paid excessive attention to the relevant situation.

"There's no situation with the mercenary groups and caravans, but I've noticed that there are too many immigrants recently. They're just outside the city in the north. I heard from local residents that they're people who have returned from exile in the southern city of Tacoma. So many people have already gone there, so why are there still more people coming? And if there's a war in the north, will they no longer be able to take in the refugees?" Latina said.

refugees

Sean suddenly looked at Latina in front of him.

"Yes, they are refugees."

"ah"

"Go and get me the map of the area near Oro City," he instructed the servant beside him.

Barnier and the other three looked at each other curiously, then followed Sean to the desk.

"The Earl thinks the refugees are a problem."

"It's not just a feeling, it's definitely a problem. The Borg have already started to act. I guess they can't sit still anymore. Go and call back Ascalante and Joseph. We have to act before they react."

At this moment, somewhere in a small town outside the north of Oro City, a room that originally belonged to the Traveler's Tavern was crowded with more than a dozen people.

To outsiders, they looked like travelers or merchants. In short, everyone had come here one after another, but they had never entered the city.

squeak

The door was gently opened

I stuck my head out and saw a man in a gray coat standing outside.

After coming in, he carefully looked at the situation outside the corridor before closing the door.

"How is the situation?"

A group of people gathered around

The man in the gray robe shook his head, drank the tea on the table, choked a little, and then spoke slowly.

"No, the city is still heavily guarded. We have no way of getting in. Even merchants carrying more than a few knives have to be strictly inspected before they can be allowed in."

"What should we do? Tatsumi and Ulysses are still imprisoned in the Dog Count's cell."

"These damn nobles should have died long ago. I don't know what kind of luck they had to escape death." Another person said angrily.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I have heard that there is a dungeon in Count Weigel's house. They are likely imprisoned in the dungeon. If we want to rescue them, we must find a way to enter the Count's mansion." said the gray-robed man.

"That's equivalent to attacking the Earl's Mansion again. The Earl's Mansion is so heavily guarded now, how can we possibly get in? What's even more hateful is that the damn Earl has put the entire city under strict inspection. We don't even have a chance to sneak into the city in large numbers." Someone in the crowd sighed.

"There's no need to rush this matter. There's always room for error. We just need to split up the team and enter the city little by little. It's just that the timing isn't right yet."

"It's immature. How long do we have to wait? Soon our people will die in prison."

The gray-robed man sighed.

"Don't be so impatient. They won't hold out for long. I heard rumors that the war in the north has begun. The Borg are advancing rapidly and are unstoppable. It won't be long before that incompetent king begins to ask nobles for aid. By then, whether Oro City sends troops or supplies, it will be our chance."
