However, the major mercenary regiments were so fast and aggressive that Silver
City had fallen before the Dragon Kingdom could reply to them. The entire city
fell into the hands of the major mercenary regiments.
Silver City's mayor was killed. The citizens were left alone, but Silver City's
economy suffered a major blow from which it had never recovered. However,
suspiciously, the mayor of Silver City had his only son masquerade as an antique
dealer before the city was taken over, and he followed other merchants out of
Silver City with a collection of antiques.
The son of Silver City's mayor had been missing since.
Silver City fell into the hands of the major mercenary regiments. However, after
taking over Silver City, the mercenary regiments could not find the secret
warehouse where Silver City had stored hundreds of tons of gold in!
Because of this, the major mercenary regiments turned against each other and
fought against each other. Silver City was still in a civil war to this day.
That was the whole history of Silver City.
After reading the information at hand, Sean exhaled a long breath.
"There is no doubt that Silver City's mayor had his son masquerade as an
antique dealer and had the location of Silver City's secret warehouse recorded on
a map, with the password to unlock the warehouse engraved on the sword along
with the map..."
"The sword was made to look old and turned into an antique to blend in with the
antique goods that the son of Silver City's mayor was carrying at the time. It was
how it got out of Silver City. The question was where did the son of Silver City's
mayor go? How did Ronald get the sword? And how did it get broken into
fragments?" Sean said to himself, his gaze seeming deep.
Zander had no idea that the not-so-ancient bronze sword fragments contained
such a huge secret, which shocked and surprised him at the same time.
It would be a major accomplishment if they could find this secret warehouse and
hand over the hundreds of tons of gold to Dragon Kingdom!
If Hanson had taken the opportunity to help Sean, no one would have dared say
anything.
His return to the army to behead Blaze would be around the corner.
"Commander, in my opinion, the son of Silver City's mayor must be dead.
Otherwise, the bronze sword specially made to look old would not have been
lost. It must have ended up in the antique market after he died. But since it was
accidentally shattered, and Ronald saw the fragments and bought them..."
Zander's speculation made some sense.
Sean did not retort because he had the same idea.
"Looks like we need to contact Ronald again. And check with the other two cities
to see if they have more information on this," Sean added.
The other two cities Sean referred to were Dorandue and Bittan.
Dorandue and Bittan were not far from Dorodo and were under Dragon
Kingdom's jurisdiction. They were cities ran by Dragon Kingdom.
"Okay, I'll contact Dorandue and Bittan right now," Zander replied and prepared
to go out.
However, Sean immediately stopped him. "Don't worry about it. It's been two
years, and the secret warehouse hasn't been discovered. No one will find it any
time soon."
