Chapter 1447 11th Preserve District?

The 11th Preserve District got news that the 7th Preserve District got surrounded by the armies of the 13 Lords. It caused a huge uproar within the district.

The district mayors had more or less talked to each other before. Some of them even had good friendly relationships with one another.

Compared to the other districts, the 11th Preserve District and 9th Preserve District had more interactions due to their close geographic locations. A lot of people in the 11th Preserve District had people they knew in the 9th Preserve District.

A crowd had already gathered at the residence of the district mayor of the 11th Preserve District. Most of the crowd had agitated and confused expressions.

“Mayor, do you think they have discovered something?” A middle-aged woman asked agitatedly

The district mayor of the 11th Preserve District was a tall and muscular middle-aged man. His eyes were bright and his gaze was sharp. When he heard what the women said, he glared at the woman. “Why are you so anxious? Don’t scare yourself.”

“I’m just afraid that…” The woman immediately shrunk back.

“Afraid your head!” The district mayor was exasperated at his people.

“Shouldn’t we at least make some preparations? Maybe their next target is us?” A man from the crowd frowned and suggested.

“We shall not do anything that will attract suspicion.” The district mayor thought for a moment before deciding to keep everything the same.

“But if something really happens, the future of the Lawless Lands and us will perish here.” As the hope and seeds of the locals, nothing must happen to them.

“In that case, tell me where can we go?” The district mayor shook his head and said, “The Lawless Lands is big, big enough to accept everyone who comes here. But, the funny thing is, there’s no place for locals like us to live safely.”

The moment he said this, everyone turned quiet. Those younger ones weren’t able to hide their anger.

“It’s better if we don’t do anything. That way, no one will suspect us… Sometimes, staying put is better than making a move.” The district mayor sighed.

“Being passive isn’t how we do things.” Some of the crowd were unhappy.

“Of course, we have to know why they decided to attack the 7th Preserve District first.” The district mayor squinted. He knew that the district mayor of the 7th Preserve District wasn’t a local of the Lawless Lands.

“Report! We have received a report from the frontlines.” Suddenly, a young man squeezed past the crowd to get to the district mayor.

The district mayor looked at the report and started pondering. He didn’t forget to pass the report to the crowd beside him. All the people gathered here were worth trusting. They were on the same boat after all.

Not long after, everyone read through the report.

“It looks like the 7th Preserve District asked for their own death. They took in the enemies of the lords. This had entirely nothing to do with us.” Finally, they felt at ease. When they first heard about the 7th Preserve District being surrounded, their first reaction was that they were discovered.

“We can’t deny the possibility that they are trying to fool us.” Someone was still extremely careful and cautious.

“Yes. We still need to be careful.” Most of the people agreed with that person.

“Am I the only one that is thinking about the background of the two sides?” Someone had a deeper look at the situation.

The district mayor’s gaze turned sharp. He pointed at the person and said, “Tell me about it.”

The person nodded and continued, “The people who surrounded the 9th Preserve District consisted of three lords.” To prevent people from eavesdropping on them, he used hand signals to tell everyone who the three lords were. “The one that was being surrounded is the newly ascended lord.”

“Are you saying that they combined efforts to give the new lord a hard time?”

“They might be settling accounts with him.” The person shook his head. “All in all, the new lord can’t make any complaints against such treatment.”

“The 13 Lords will never allow a new lord to join them so easily.” Everyone nodded. If that wasn’t the case, they wouldn’t be in such a bad state. They had to hide in this place and conceal their identity while living the life of a normal person.

“The new lord must be in a tragic state now.” No one had high hopes for Lord Gen.

“Let’s see the result of this battle.” The district mayor knew that this fight would affect Lord Gen’s position in the Lawless Lands.

As a local of the Lawless Lands, he wanted to send these foreigners away. Thus, he was happy to see internal strife, and even hatred, among the 13 Lords, as this could be an opportunity for them to grow and prosper.

If the 13 Lords started supporting one another and helping one another, they would really need to cry.
