Chapter 1014: 574: The Secret of the Imaginary Overlord Chapter 1014: 574: The Secret of the Imaginary Overlord “Our ho is the sa; we could say you’re our landlord now. We have plenty of empty rooms in our house. Whether it’s the captain or the captain’s friends, everyone is welco to move in,”
Although he was talking about the captain’s friends, his gaze was fixed on Logan.
Clearly, there was more to his intentions than the offer of hospitality.
In response to such warmth, Logan felt both embarrassed and sowhat touched.
It had been a long ti since he had received such enthusiastic kindness from others, and it made him quite reflective.
“Thank you all, really, thank you. Just one room will be enough,”
Afterwards, he selected the ho of the landlord he had spoken to earlier as their accommodations should be better.
Lexi Carr, being part of the Demon Race, could easily give herself away if she had to perform nial tasks like fetching water and chopping wood, just like an ordinary person.
But if the living environnt was better and there were fewer tasks,
It would be less likely for her to expose too much.
With this in mind, Logan chose the landlord’s ho.
The landlord’s family felt as if they had hit the jackpot, overjoyed beyond asure.
Lexi, influenced by their emotions, also felt hopeful about the future.
She ca close to Logan and whispered in his ear,
“Young Master Logan, I never imagined I’d one day be happy about living an ordinary human life. Thank you for arranging even this for .”
“It’s no trouble at all. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters to ,”
Logan waved his hand dismissively, appearing nonchalant and unfazed.
“Master Lexi, please co inside. Since you’re Captain Wood’s friend, you are naturally our friend as well, and we’ll definitely treat you well,”
“Yes, please don’t be shy. You seem to co from a wealthy family; our village is rather simple, so I hope you won’t mind. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, feel free to tell us, and we’ll do our utmost to satisfy your needs,”
Hearing this, Lexi felt a deep appreciation for these simple folk.
“No need, everyone, I truly appreciate your kindness. As long as I have a place to stay, I’m very content,”
Even though he expressed humility, the locals still brought out their best to accommodate him.
Logan found their friendly atmosphere quite pleasing.
Ultimately, he felt at ease, left them with a few more instructions, and then departed.
On his return, he initially thought about reporting this matter to the authorities.
If the Demon Race were indeed planning to attack the East Gate, then the East Gate must be well-defended.
But as he thought about it, a sudden idea struck him.
Wait a mont, sothing didn’t add up the more he thought about it.
The enemy had a Saint King Level Powerhouse presiding over them; it was unlikely that such critical intel on attack routes would not involve that Powerhouse.
If the Powerhouse were there, and Lexi was rely at the level of the Holy See,
How could the enemy have failed to detect him?
If they had discovered him, why then did they not attack him?
Could it be…
A thought suddenly flickered through his mind and beca increasingly uncontrollable.
At this point, he started to question the intelligence about the attack on the East Gate, not so much doubting Lexi’s betrayal, but whether the source of the information was flawed, or if soone had deliberately misled them?
He had to ponder this carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seed.
After returning, he already had a preliminary decision about the matter.
At sunset,
Logan stood together with Snow Wood, having shared the news with her.
“I didn’t expect the Demon Race to have such plans. What do you intend to do?”
Logan didn’t fully believe it himself and didn’t share his doubts with her.
He omitted Lexi’s part of the story, feeling that the spy’s findings weren’t so straightforward.
“So I’ve been thinking it over and decided to appoint one person to defend the East Gate and another to defend the Westman,”
No sooner had he spoken than Snow Wood asserted her own position.
“I’ll take the East Gate,”
Observing her resolute stance, Logan raised an eyebrow slightly.
Are you sure? The East Gate might be the Demon Race’s target. It’s not certain, but it’s fraught with danger…”
“Exactly, first, I trust your judgnt, and second, I believe in my own strength. So let’s not argue about the East Gate.”
Looking at her radiant confidence, Logan ultimately held back any objections.
“Alright, then it’s decided,”
Snow laughed softly.
Defending the East Gate is no simple task, but the Westman could be even more dangerous. If your suspicions are correct, the Westman might also beco a focal point for attack. Logan, are you really sure about this? There’s still ti to back out,”
“If you’re not stepping down, why would I? How about we advance and retreat together?”
Snow was touched by his words and felt an indescribable joy.
In that mont, she nodded without hesitation.
“Alright, let’s advance and retreat together, comrades. Let’s encourage each other,”
They smiled at each other and quickly returned to plan their strategies.
Because the scout’s report had highlighted the East Gate, everyone’s focus was more on the East Gate. Not only was Snow stationed there, but several other formidable individuals were also committed to its defense.
These individuals were sent by the Emperor, who, upon hearing the news, took it very seriously and dispatched his elite troops.
Upon learning this, Logan breathed a sigh of relief.
With so many Powerhouses present, if sothing did happen, they should at least be able to save Miss Wood’s life.
Moreover, their team was also strong; they might not necessarily lose.
Logan looked at his hands, slowly clenched them tight, his eyes filled with determination.
