The return of Serana and the others did not attract too much attention, after all, the weakest of the five of them is also a senior legendary powerhouse, and there is also a fantasy master, a master of illusion, as a cover, and Serana, who has recovered the mythical realm, has restrained everyone's breath, in the current world where myths are not out and legends are respected, no one can really find them who actively hide their identities.

And the Silent City side will naturally not be high-profile publicity, now that the threat from the Lich Evans and the Undead Mountain has been temporarily lifted, there is still a minotaur Logar entrenched in the snow-covered Western Plains, and he may be free from his shackles at any time and launch an attack on the Silent City, in this case, it is obviously more advantageous to use Serana and the others as a hole card to hide temporarily.

Of course, the Silent City is not unchanged, and when the chatter in the parlor is over, Filina and the others return to their respective posts, and Firina summons the members of the circus who are looking for dragons in the mountains and forests as the acting lord of the city, and after a secret conversation with the seven circus masters, she summons the Grand Commander of the Silent Blade again.

The conversation between Filina and the others was not known to others, but when the Grand Commander of the Silent Blade left the City Lord's Mansion, he immediately summoned the other commanders and mid-level officers of the Silent Blade, and that night, the Silent Blade carried out an extremely covert purge operation, and about 1,700 Silent Blade soldiers were interviewed by their superiors, and fifty-seven of them never came out after entering the interview room.

At the same time, after doing all this, Firina did not turn around and run out to slay the dragon as usual, but continued to stay in the Silent City as the acting city lord and began to meddle in the affairs of the Silent City.

On the other hand, Al also gathered the first batch of graduates of Silent City High School for the reason of "performance evaluation", and had a three-hour conversation in the closed conference room, when the closed door of the conference room opened again, not only Al and more than twenty students came out, but also the official appointment letters to them.

Seventeen of them became the grassroots managers of Silent City, covering many aspects such as industry, agriculture and commerce, while of the remaining five, one of them was appointed as the "overseer" of the city guard, and the other three were also placed in a similar capacity into the Silent Blade, while the last one was transferred to Silent City and became a "diplomatic envoy" between Silent City and Snowman.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that among the first batch of graduates of the academy, seventeen students who are in the grass-roots management have the brightest future, as long as they do not make mistakes, they will definitely be able to become the middle managers of the Silent City, and if they have outstanding achievements, they may even become a member of the high-level management of the Silent City in the future.

The four cadets who were assigned to the City Guard and the Silent Blade had a high status and power from the start, but if nothing else, it would be their crowning achievement, after all, with their strength, it would be difficult to seek a higher position in the military system of the Silent City.

As for the unlucky worm who finally became a "diplomatic envoy", no one paid attention to him anymore, and the diplomatic affairs between Silent City and other territories have always been carried out through the Shadow Blade Department, and the position of "diplomatic envoy" in Silent City is an idle position, with no responsibilities, let alone oil and water, and the weekly salary is only enough to live a slightly better life than ordinary people.

However, the most surprising thing was the announcement that Al, who had just "retired" for a week, to return to the position of the head of Silent City, and some rumors that came out of nowhere that Silent City was preparing for war.

yes, war!

When the rumors spread, the "smart people" immediately understood that this series of big moves in Silent City was obviously integrating forces, and why did Silent City integrate forces? War! This is obviously the best explanation.

As for the purpose and objectives of the war waged by the Silent City, the wise people were also quick to come to a conclusion through the method of elimination.

For the current Silent City, the purpose of the war is nothing more than to fight the enemy and expand the territory, and for the former, the current enemies of the Silent City are only the Minotaur Logar entrenched in the snowy western plains, and the dragons all over the continent, but whether it is the Minotaur Logar or the Dragon Clan, they cannot be eliminated by relying on the army, so this reason can be ruled out.

Territorial expansion is equally important to Silent City, and although Silent City is extremely prominent in all aspects of the economy and military, this does not hide the fact that Silent City is an underground city.

In the imagination of outsiders, Silent City, deep in the harsh environment of the underground, must want to own a territory located on the surface, and if you think about it according to this idea, then the goal of Silent City is obvious - Borderlands, Rift Valley.

After coming to this conclusion, well-intentioned and intelligent people found more corroboration, for example, Silent City stationed a large number of soldiers outside Rift Valley Town early in the morning, for example, Silent City once launched a large-scale search operation in Rift Valley Town on the grounds of chasing an ordinary person, and those actions that seemed ridiculous and crazy had a new explanation at this moment - Silent City had already begun to lay out Rift Valley Town!

So, what about after that?

Judging from the power that Silent City has shown before, it will only take a few hours or less to conquer Rift Town, and there is no need to mobilize such a large number of people, so Rapid Valley Town must be just a "pre-emptive goal" of Silent City, or just a preview of Silent City's fangs to show its fangs to the world, so think about it, Silent City's real ambition ......

As a result, before the Silent City side could make any moves, Rift Valley Town took the first step into chaos, and the local forces of Rift Valley Town began to pack up their gold and silver, looking ready to run away at any time, and other forces stationed outside Rift Valley Town also began to frantically send requests to their superiors, demanding that they be transferred out of Rift Valley Town as soon as possible.

However, the traders and ordinary residents of Rift Valley are still unhurried - according to the usual style of Silent City, as long as they do not follow the local forces of Rift Town against Silent City, then Silent City will not do anything to them.

Outside of Rift Valley, diplomats from several other territories in Skyrim Province in Silent City also tried to visit Firina and Al, especially Sidgail, who led Phocles, and sent a diplomatic mission the next day.

After all, there are only the Vorcles Territory, the Snow Territory and the Eastern Territory that border with the Rift Territory, the Snowman Territory has always been friendly with the Silent City, and the Eastern Territory is the base camp of Ulfric, and the strength is strong, but the Vorcres Territory is a soft persimmon, if the Silent City is ready to continue to expand outward after conquering the Rift Territory, then his Vorcres Territory will definitely bear the brunt.

In this way, Skyrim Province, which had just been peaceful for a short time, was once again in chaos because of a rumor.
