Capítulo 5: Before the attack
At the soldier barracks inside the Mountain Cloud City, the soldiers were already preparing to set out to attack a nearby beast camp.
"His Highness the second prince has arrived!" a soldier shouted followed by Lori and Katakuri.
The soldiers in the camp immediately stand up and saluted towards Lori. All of them were staring at the second prince with different types of looks.
"I want to see Commander Allan," he said to a soldier and the soldier immediately escort the two in a huge white tent.
"Commander, His Highness the second prince came to see you"
Lori entered the tent and saw that Commander Allan was looking at a map with a serious expression. Lori received a report from Commander Allan earlier that the beast camp they will attack was not ordinary. From the report, it was mentioned that the number of the beasts was quite big. And not only that, but there is also a huge chance that a high ranking beast was included in the scene.
"What might be His Highness intention for visiting me this time?" Commander Allan asked Lori, but his eyes were somewhat glancing towards Katakuri.
'This man, I couldn't see his strength' Commander Allan said to himself because the man who came with the second prince is giving him a mysterious feeling. He can't even see the strength of the man which only adds to the mysterious feeling.
Sitting in a chair, Lori stares at the commander's eyes and said, "Since the commander was busy preparing for the attack. I will head straight to the point"
Commander Allan listens seriously as he could feel that the second prince was planning something tonight. If not, he will not visit the barracks this time of night.
Lori smiled and said, "Bring more soldiers with you when you set out. The rats hidden inside the city will all definitely come out when there's is fewer guards with me. I want to see them run around thinking that the cat was gone"
Hearing the second prince's words, Commander Allan knew that the prince was planning something big. He narrowed his eyes and turn to the man standing behind the prince before saying, "Your Highness, although they were planning and scheming. They were still nobles of the kingdom and I hope that the second prince won't do something that might affect the kingdom"
Being the commander of the soldiers inside the city, Commander Allan already knew about the movements of the nobles inside the city. But what he didn't know was how far they will take it.
However, as a man born as a commoner. Commander Allan didn't know how the nobles think. Because the other party is a prince, he thought that they wouldn't harm him and just force the second prince to give up some power in the city.
"It seems that the commander already knew the plan of those people. As a commander in the city and as soldier of the kingdom. Why didn't you do anything about it?" Lori tapped the table with his fingers and asked with a smile.
Being asked by the second prince, the commander went silent. He himself didn't know why he didn't do anything about it. He doesn't even report it to the second prince and just remained silent.
"Since you can't answer my question, it is better for you to just listen to my command," Lori said with a serious tone.
"But..." Commander Allan wanted to say something but he was stopped.
"This is what you will say next, Yes Your Highness" Katakuri who remained silent all this time finally talks. But his sharp eyes were staring down towards the commander.
Feeling the stare of the man beside the second prince, Commander Allan felt small. He felt that he was just a small animal being stared by a ferocious beast. His whole body started to feel heavy as if he was carrying weights in his back. His legs shaking, and cold sweat started to appear in his forehead.
"Yes, Your Highness" Commander Allan said with shaking voice. As a seasoned warrior and a veteran soldier, this was the first time he felt this. He was scared and terrified of the man standing with the second prince. Even his majesty the king didn't let him feel this kind of pressure.
At this time, Commander Allan finally knew that the so-called trash prince is nothing but a disguise. This prince who could recruit a man like this under him is definitely not ordinary. He needs to have some ability to accomplish this.
Lori smiled when he saw the commander having a difficult time standing up. He said, "Then I will wait for the commander's victorious return in the city"
After leaving the tent, Lori's laughter sounded outside and Commander Allan's expression couldn't be described when he heard it.

Just after leaving the soldier barracks, Lori sends Katakuri to tell the plan to Crocodile and how they should act. When Crocodile receives the message from Lori, he immediately ordered his men for the events that will happen this night.
Meanwhile, at the house of the Slith Family in the city, several people were holding a meeting. They were the group of nobles who didn't want to let the trash second prince become the lord of the city. At first, they just wanted to scare the second prince. But with the support of the crown prince behind them, they decided to do much more than what they previously planned.
"Combing the people of our family and the help of the crown prince, we can even defeat the soldiers of Commander Allan. But just to make sure that we succeed, we will make our move when Commander Allan and his soldiers left the city. After tonight, we will discuss how we divide the city to ourselves" the patriarch of the Slith family announced with great excitement in his voice.
"What Old Slith said is correct, after this, we will be able to reap many rewards. And not only that, but we also managed to help the crown prince the future king of the Silverwing Kingdom. His Highness blessings will surely rain upon us when he becomes a king" another old patriarch agreed to what the Slith old man said.
"For our future!"
"For the future of our city!"
The group raises their glass and started to celebrate for their upcoming victory.
What they didn't know was that the second prince was also preparing to surprise them all. There were already multiple people wearing black hooded cloaks that started to encircle the area where they are. Each of them was carrying a weapon and was ready to attack when the orders arrive.
Several hours passed by and Commander Allan and his soldiers already left the city hours ago. At this time, they should already be far from the city and slowly approaching the beast camp.
This is now the right time to execute the plan that the nobles and Lori were waiting for.
