Chapter 1583 - 1583 914 Sudden Change in Lionheart City

Chapter 1583: Chapter 914: Sudden Change in Lionheart City (Upper)_2 Chapter 1583: Chapter 914: Sudden Change in Lionheart City (Upper)_2 “You bunch of bastards, how dare you be so ruthless in public!”

Not far away, Leslie Reynolds’ fair face was filled with anger and irritation. While ordering her subordinates to carry away the wounded, she coldly scolded, “On what grounds did you suddenly close down the shops here?”

“Oh, isn’t this Miss Leslie?”

A commander of the Guard took off his helmet, revealing a distorted, mocking young male face, and confidently said, “Sorry, but we just received a report that there was someone here recklessly constructing a dangerous Magic Barrier. It’s our duty to investigate, so naturally we couldn’t just ignore it.”

“Don’t worry, once our investigation is complete, we will lift the blockade here.”

The commander’s twisted face smirked coldly, “However, Miss Leslie, you should know that the main force of the Guard has already followed the lord of the family into battle, and we are short-handed. As for when we can finish our investigation, well, that depends on our mood.”

Through Kelsey’s introduction, Leo Ray learned about the young commander named Lucas, who was one of the five loyal henchmen supporting the elders.

“Lucas, you bastard! This is too much!”

Leslie Reynolds’ Magic Wand appeared in her hand, with steam brewing at the tip, clearly indicating that she was not willing to continue talking with the other party.

“Water Prison!”

Leslie Reynolds’s fair face turned cold, and a giant water ball rushed out from the tip of the Magic Wand, engulfing a sneering Guard squad leader not far away.

With the Guard squad leader struggling and suffocating in the water ball, both sides were once again at swords drawn, and the fight quickly resumed.

The neatly maintained street was the scene of soldiers tearing at each other like enemies, rolling back and forth on the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Fist-sized punches landed heavily on each other’s cheeks, the flowing blood from their noses and mouths staining the surrounding ground a shocking red.

This time, with Leslie Reynolds’s continuous release of giant water balls, suspending the main Guard soldiers in the air, the City Patrol Army gained the upper hand for a while, and the fight began to escalate.

However, Leslie Reynolds’s advantage didn’t last long.

Lucas was obviously well-prepared, and under his sneering command,

More Guards with wooden clubs began to pour out from around the street corner, quickly beating dozens of City Patrol Army soldiers to a bloody pulp, leaving them unable to stand up and screaming in pain.

As for Leslie Reynolds, she wanted to make a final stand, but Lucas had quietly circled behind her.

“Hehe, Miss Leslie Reynolds, that’s enough!”

Lucas suddenly swung a fist, knocking the unprepared Leslie Reynolds from behind and sending her crashing heavily to the ground ahead.

“Ugh!”

With a few dry retches, Leslie Reynolds, with blood running from the corner of her mouth, struggled to get up from the ground, but she was already being held up by two tall Guard soldiers, unable to move.

“Lucas, you dare to treat me like this? My grandfather won’t let you off!”

Despite Leslie Reynolds’s pale face, she remained unyielding, saying, “When the time comes, I will kill you myself!”

“Hehe, Miss Leslie Reynolds, don’t talk to yourself.”

Lucas appeared unafraid and mocked, “Your grandfather can hardly take care of himself anymore, how can he possibly worry about you?”

“You…you dare to attack the elder of the Elders Council?”

Leslie Reynolds was taken aback, and then said with a shocked expression, “Even the lord of the family does not have the power to attack elders casually!”

“It would be a different story if we find evidence of endangering the family’s main city.”

Looking grave, Lucas replied coldly, “Hasn’t this general already told you earlier? Someone is secretly constructing a dangerous Magic Barrier here.”

“You treacherous scum!”

Leslie Reynolds immediately reacted, biting her lip and saying, “This time the army goes out to battle, and the head of the family has taken away almost all the strong men under my grandfather’s command. The City Patrol is left with only the old, weak, sick, and disabled. So you’ve already planned everything!”

“When the army of the Sanders Family marches, it naturally clears some obstacles, not only the despicable Otherworlder and the Fifth Princess but also the stubborn old people within the family who have always opposed the lord. No one can defy the authority of the lord.”

Lucas’s twisted face was full of cold laughter, and he sneered, “As long as we find evidence of constructing dangerous Barriers, those four stubborn old men who have no usable soldiers left by their side will not be far from death, even though they have already been placed under house arrest.””Or perhaps, they will immediately try to flee in fear of punishment, and then be killed on the spot.”

In Lucas’s seemingly calm gaze, a trace of vulgarity emerged, as he began to size up Leslie Reynolds’s slender and tall body: “Dear Miss, if you know what’s good for you, maybe this general can spare your pathetic life.”

“Don’t even think about it!”

Despite being terrified, Leslie remained cold, resolute: “This lady would rather die here!”

However, Leslie didn’t notice it at the moment.

Not far away, the giant city gate had quietly closed, which undoubtedly meant that a real massacre was about to come.

“Then go die for this general first!”

Lucas didn’t continue to entangle with Leslie, drew the blade from his waist, and slashed at her without hesitation, like a wolf finally showing its sharp fangs.

“Let this farce end.”

A faint voice sounded.

The sharp longsword drew a deadly trajectory, pierced through Lucas’s armor and chest, and easily killed this arrogant commander of the guards.

The speaker was none other than Leo Ray.

And the one who took action was Leah, the combat puppet.

Leo Ray chose to let Leah act because in recent battles, she had been very low-key and was unlikely to be immediately discovered by opponents.

Of course, Leo Ray also understood clearly.

Being discovered was just a matter of sooner or later, after all, not many people dared to take action in Sanders’s main city.

As for the two soldiers holding Leslie, they were killed by Serena and Stella simultaneously.

“Miss, the master hired us secretly to protect you.”

Following Leo Ray’s instructions, Leah spoke in the tone of a mercenary, nodding at the still somewhat panicking Leslie: “Follow me!”

After that, Leo Ray and his companions took Leslie and quickly disappeared around a street corner.

During the process, Leo Ray also cleaned up the remaining guards and ordered Elusa to create a dense fog, trapping everyone present to prevent immediate leakage of information.

Before long, guided by Linda, the group eventually arrived at a desolate, abandoned alchemy workshop.

“Thank you all for saving my life!”

Leslie, just standing still in the abandoned factory, bowed to the group and then asked Leo Ray, who was leading the group, with a frown: “Your Excellency, who exactly are you? I have never heard my grandfather mention anything about mercenaries.”

“Who I am is not important, but you should be familiar with these three, right?”

Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and immediately nodded at Elusa, signaling her to remove the illusions on Linda, Gael, and Kelsey.

With a faint mist passing by, when Leslie saw the faces of the trio, she couldn’t help showing a look of astonishment and disbelief: “How, how could it be you?”

Leslie never expected that one day she would be saved by the side-branch members she had always looked down upon!

“Leslie, long time no see, my dear cousin.”

Linda smiled and greeted the surprised Leslie politely.

Gael also nodded with a smile, while Kelsey snorted and grumbled: “Hmph, I wouldn’t want to have anything to do with you, with your nose in the air, if it wasn’t for a reason.”

“But why did you save me?”

Leslie was still in a daze, her face filled with astonishment: “Aren’t you afraid of offending powerful forces like Harrison and others? You can’t afford to provoke them!”

“Harrison? I haven’t even noticed him.”

This time, Ariel Watson, who had removed her illusion disguise, appeared in front of Leslie.
