Chapter 479: The Lions mouth (2/2)

”Do you still think you have chosen the correct side in this fight?” Mukdad said, smiling looking back at Harry.

Once they had passed the walls ,the other soldiers that were with them left to take their positions and send an update on what they had seen. Inside the walls, Harry was surprised that he could see men and Beasts working together. Clearly, the beasts had been infected by the Shadow, but they seemed to have some type of intelligence, or the Shadow was controlling them all.

The two of them had a different path to take. When they had gone past the walls they could see the castle but it seemed empty and hardly used, men were stationed on it, but only as a way for them to attack.

Heading through the large door, he noticed that it was a staircase leading downward underneath and not above.

”This is the shadow continent. Strong beasts lurk beneath the ground not above. What you see up here is only a fraction of the forces.” Mukdad said.

Harry gulped as he composed himself and went downward. When they arrived, they could see several large tunnels that led to all sorts of different places. Down below, there were more beasts than men, and they seemed to be moving all sorts of things as they prepared for war.

Each one of them was heavily equipped in armour and such, and for the first time, he even saw a couple of beasts wearing armour as well. It was as if there was an entire city below the castle itself.

”Come on, follow me,” Mukdad said.

Harry was in far too deep now, there was no turning back and it would be impossible to escape. If he wanted to try, he should have tried his luck a lot earlier.

”It's impressive right, rumours say that the tunnels here weren't made by man or beast, but the kingdom used to work closely with the dwarves,” Mukdad explained.

Now, Harry understood why some of the architecture he had seen around the place looked like what the Redwings had. If it was true, then did the Shadow take over whatever equipment had been left behind by the old kingdom?

Perhaps they had things that, even the other kingdoms hadn't been seen in war yet. This thought was haunting Harry's mind as it seemed things were looking more grim for his friends in the Redwings.

”Remember, you don't have to work against us,” Mukdad said.

It seemed Mukadad was truly trying his hardest to convince Harry over to their side, and he was starting to wonder if something similar happened to Monk.

At that moment, a beast infected by the Shadow, with its crazed eyes walked past. It had dribble coming from its mouth and had snapped towards Harry. Luckily one of the soldiers had pulled it back with a few chains.

”I know you have doubts but remember we work with them, not for them,” Mukdad said. ”Anyway we have spoken enough, the person awaits you inside.”

The two of them were led to the underground forgery where weapons were to be made. The heat coming from outside the room was immense. Harry seemed to remember that the demon possessing Gary seemed to feel stronger when near heat so it would make sense.

Mukdad, just stood behind, and nodded motioning Harry to move forward. Pushing open the door and heading in, he could see many workers hammering away, creating weapons. Stood at the very back, Both Gary and Monk could be seen talking with a soldier.

When Harry entered the room, they both turned and looked at Harry.

”We have been waiting for you,” Gary said with a smile.
