Chapter 3143
Someone entered Sid's tent and said solemnly, "Mr. Sid, we should evacuate!""So soon?" Sid raised his head, slightly surprised.In fact, he had already given up command upon learning that Adrian had appeared in the city and had used the power of the gangs to render the barrier ineffective. Their only option now was to hold their ground and wait for their final judgment as they knew that the enemy would not spare them. However, Sid never expected the judgment to come so quickly."Yes, sir. Our army has been defeated, and they have surrounded. The only way out is the path leading into the city. We must evacuate from there!"Sid remained silent for a moment before nodding.Observing the events on the battlefield, Adrian smiled and said, "It seems that Quintin also understands my intentions."Instead of crushing their enemies, Quintin surrounded them from both sides and intentionally left a path to Sandstone. He clearly wanted to herd Sid in that direction, and he was confident that

"Could there be other secret passages within the city?" someone piped up, and understanding instantly dawned upon Adrian.Sid had been in charge of Sandstone for quite some time. He must have considered various possibilities, so it was possible for him to have planned a secret route into the city."Keep an eye on these soldiers. If you find anyone suspicious of being Sid, notify me immediately," Adrian ordered. With that, he vanished from the city wall, appearing outside moments later.Adrian swiftly searched along the city wall. In less than half an hour, he finally located the entrance to the secret passage."Are you a mouse or something?" Adrian mocked.Sid had anticipated this situation and built a secret tunnel at the base of the city wall. Looking at the tunnel, Adrian hesitated, then decided not to enter. Instead, he used his Draco Force to check the situation inside. The tunnel stretched for more than a kilometer, almost reaching the limit of his Draco Force. Fortunately,
Chapter 3145
The range of Adrian's Draco Force extended to over a kilometer and could cover a significant portion of Sandstone. According to his estimation, he should have detected Sid even if Sid was not on the route he was pursuing, but Adrian still failed to detect him in the end. Therefore, he chose to take a break from the search after a few minutes. He had to admit that Sid was a formidable opponent. Even in his current dire situation, he had managed to secure an escape route for himself.Just as Adrian was about to resume searching for Sid, he received a message from Quintin. According to his calculation, the forces of Obscura should have been thoroughly defeated by now. Considering the chaos in the center of Sandstone, the routed troops were likely advancing toward its interior. Therefore, Quintin should have entered the city by now to carry out the final cleanup."Hello?" Adrian answered the call.Quintin's voice came through. "Have you taken care of Sid?""He escaped. It seems like Si

Adrian walked over to a nearby chair and sat down.Megan towered before him. "Even with all its might, the Dark Moon couldn't achieve such a feat within a week," she commented."There's nothing that can't be done. Where there's a will, there's a way," Adrian replied. He did not consider his actions in the city over the past week to be particularly extraordinary."In theory, what you've done is indeed not impossible. It's just that only you would have the confidence to undertake such a task and successfully pull it off," Megan replied. She truly admired Adrian for his ability to exploit factional strife and his power to breach Sandstone's defenses within a week.Perhaps Ronan could accomplish this task. Maybe some members of the Dark Moon scattered throughout the city could do it better than Adrian. In fact, they had received Quintin's instructions even before Adrian did. However, they chose to give up because they believed they could not do it and did not dare to shoulder such a he

"Honestly, I'm impressed, Mr. Adrian. Your actions have left me in awe," the woman said.Adrian remained silent, unsure of what Megan and this woman wanted from him."I'm Libby Arman," the woman introduced herself while extending her hand toward Adrian.After shaking hands with her, Adrian asked, "What do you need me to do?""It's related to Mr. Sid," Libby said.Adrian was taken aback, and Libby continued, "As the Great Commander of Obscura, although he may not always make perfect battlefield judgments, just like how he couldn't predict your appearance in the city and the successful destruction of the city barriers, he can still make thorough preparations for what's to come."Adrian nodded. The underground passage was the best evidence. Sid must have begun constructing it long before the war started, and his mastery of the special disguise technique likely served as preparation for the possibility of defeat."Tomorrow night, the city lord will host a party," Libby said."You m
Chapter 3148
At this time yesterday, Sid still held the highest authority in Sandstone. The city's barriers remained intact, with nearly two hundred thousand Obscura troops stationed to guard them. It could be said that the city was as secure as a fortress.In Sid's original plan, Sandstone was to withstand Quintin's advances for a month while they inflicted significant losses on the latter’s forces. However, everything that happened today thwarted his plan. Due to Adrian's covert operations, Sid suffered a crushing defeat. He could not even hold out for a week, let alone a month.On top of that, Quintin captured Sandstone swiftly and there were almost no casualties involved. After all, Quintin had not launched a genuine attack for the past week. Sid inferred from Quintin's actions that he must have planted hidden forces within the city and conducted investigations using various means. Unfortunately, both the governor of Sandstone and the head of the police force were under Adrian's control. Ther

"Sir, we can't stay here any longer," a young man with a soft demeanor said anxiously to Sid.At this moment, Sid looked like a haggard elderly man. Originally, he looked energetic even though he was already in his sixties. However, at this moment, not only had his appearance changed, but his demeanor also showed signs of aging."Blaine, thank you for your service. You're dismissed now," Sid replied."But if I leave, who will handle your disguises?" Blaine asked worriedly."This mask can last for three days, which should suffice for me to finish what needs to be done," Sid replied."But isn't Mr. Carson already feigning surrender? He can handle those matters!" Blaine protested."You're wrong. Although you've been by my side for some time now, you haven't fully grasped human nature," Sid explained. "Carson's surrender isn't feigned. Given the opportunity, he will genuinely give in, and my departure presents him with the perfect chance.""How could that be...""Because that's the
Chapter 3150
Carson now held two identities. Previously, he had agreed with Sid that if they were defeated, he would quickly surrender and try to gain Quintin's trust. However, he needed to immediately contact the supporters of restoration within the city, rally all forces, and quickly strive to overthrow Silverboa's rule over Sandstone after surrendering. To outsiders, he appeared as a surrenderer. At times, he would even play the part convincingly and fully embraced this new identity. However, Cleo's arrival disrupted his plan."Mr. Cleo!" Carson approached Cleo and bowed respectfully.Sid, now disguised as Cleo, could not help but smirk. It was still early, and many of the invited guests had yet to arrive. He reached out and placed a hand on Carson's shoulder."Carson, make sure you perform well tonight. Don't disappoint me," Sid said, his voice tinged with a hint of mockery.In fact, Carson had two sets of plans in mind since he did not know if Sid would show up tonight. If Sid had not show
