Chapter 130 Infiltration
The day has been extremely boring for the City Guards of the Dragon City until something unusual happened. They expected a scheduled visit from the tax bureau but the royal carriage arrived to the Dragon City with only a single soldier leading it.
"Huh? Where is the Royal Debt Collector? Did something happen?" the City Guards questioned as they stopped the carriage and the lone soldier only grabbed his helmet awkwardly.
"Well, nothing major happened besides the Royal Debt Collector straining his leg," the Rhino Soldier explained as he jumped down and approached the City Guards. "I was the unlucky one who picked the shortest stick and was forced to drive my own."
"What do you mean he strained his leg? He doesn't need to walk while sitting in the carriage," the City Guards questioned in confusion as they started to get suspicious.
The Rhino Soldier only sighed helplessly as if it wasn't his job. "He claimed he is in pain and needed some comfort from beautiful ladies. He stopped in the nearby village and ordered one of us to deliver the gold to the City Lord for safekeeping."
"That's so unprofessional and unheard of…" the City Guards commented taken aback. "What about the other three soldiers? There should be four of you."
The Rhino Soldier clenched his fist as if he recalled bad memories. "It has been a while since we tasted any women so the Royal Debt Collector invited three of us to stay with him as protection."
"You all will definitely get in trouble with the City Lord," The City Guards replied speechlessly but the Rhino Soldier suddenly walked up to the carriage and lifted the curtain. Inside the carriage sat a handcuffed maiden with her sexy legs in full view.
"The Royal Debt Collector took that into account and asked me to bring the most beautiful lady for the City Lord to enjoy," the Rhino Soldier explained with a giggle and the City Guards joined him with a chuckle.
They drooled at the view of the lady and checked the contents of the treasure chest just to be sure. Seeing it was full of gold coins, they finally relaxed and punched the Rhino Soldiers playfully.
"You lucky bastards have it all figured out. I'm so jealous," the City Guard muttered with clear envy but the Rhino Soldier only cursed as he closed the curtains. "Fuck, don't even mention it. I didn't even get to enjoy but it's fine. I have a lady I fancy already so there is still hope for me."
"Good luck with that brother," the City Guard wished happily and hopped on the carriage with him. "Let me escort you to the City Lord's castle so you don't need to explain yourself every time."
"I appreciate that man," the Rhino Soldier acknowledged and whispered, "I will make sure to mention you to the Royal Debt Collector. The robbers have been quite active lately so we might need additional help."
The City Guard couldn't be happier and he patted the Rhino Soldier on the shoulder, "Thanks brother, I owe you big time."
The City Guard's assistance came in handy as the city was filled with multiple different stops. He only waved at his buddies and they let them pass through smoothly. To make it even better, he was extremely talkative and gave out some insightful news.
"We increased the number of guards lately because of a special tip from our spy," the City Guards whispered up close. "The Queen of the Earth Empire plans an attack on the Dragon City's treasury so we are extremely careful with who we let in the city. We are still not fully ready for the war so we can't let that happen."
"Oh?" the Rhino Soldier was taken by surprise. "Are they crazy? Won't that cause a full-scale war between all four Empires?"
"What world do you live in? The war is inevitable. All we can do is stall a bit longer to prepare for a full-on attack. It is better to be the first one to strike and catch the opponent by surprise," the City Guard explained. "There is a rumor about the Metal Clan joining forces with the Earth Empire which gave them the guts to initiate the war."
"To think we have such a strong invigilation system," the Rhino Soldier commented amazed. "The spy must be really close to the Earth Empire's Queen to discover her plans."
The City Guard only shrugged. "I don't know about that but he is for sure a high-ranked official."
The carriage was already close to the City Lord's castle so they stopped talking and introduced their arrival. After checking the treasure chest, they let them pass through with no issues while commenting, "The City Lord is still asleep so this lady will definitely cheer up his morning. He wasn't exactly in a good mood lately."
It seemed like the City Lord gave them a hard time so they seemed happy at the opportunity to calm him down.
"The lady can't enter inside the Treasury Vault so let's make her wait inside the carriage," the City Guard suggested as they stopped directly at the castle's main entrance. "The Treasure Vault has extra protection hired by the City Lord himself but it doesn't hurt to be extra cautious."
The City Guard didn't get a quick response and soon found the Rhino Guard spaced out while staring ahead and tapping at the sky. "You okay bro?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just wondering if that's okay. What if some other Guards discover her and do something improper?" the Rhino Soldier pointed out. "She is still a virgin from what I heard and a total commoner. She is chained too, so we are safe to bring her with us."
"Unfortunately, those are the rules," the City Guard replied helplessly and jumped down the driver's seat. "We will be back for her in no time. No one can do anything in a few minutes."
"Alright, let's get the treasure chest then," Rhino Soldier agreed as he followed closely behind. They both entered inside the carriage and the City Guard crouched down to pull the chest.
It was a wrong idea to let his back unprotected.
"Ah!!" the City Guard cried out as a sharp blade pierced into his neck before he felt his whole body turn cold. Ice covered his whole neck and he soon lost the ability to move.
Before his mind shut down, the City Guard saw the sexy lady drop her handcuffs as if it was nothing and finally witnessing her face.
It was no other than Queen Luna of the Earth Empire!
