Chapter 517 - Blockades (2/2)

Coach Owen sighed.

The rest of the document was filled with redactions. Place of birth, parenthood, even the date of birth was crossed. There was nothing but this picture and the prisoner's code. Nothing more, nothing else.

”… So similar…”

The Warden couldn't help but feel that his life's work was nothing but garbage. Only he and a few select people knew the truth of these matters, but what he did know left him feeling cold.

'Your resentment, I understand it. However, I cannot allow you to do as you please. It seems that I will need to kill you with my own hands.'

The Warden put the file away, locking the cabinet as Dark Cloud Prison continued to tremble.

Then, he turned and walked out of his office, his mustache bristling.

”Scouting units, move out.” Leonel commanded.

The speed types jetted out in eight different directions, each of them leaving blazing trails of wind in their wake.

To the back of the troop, there was a large, lingering mountain range. Since Earth had long since mastered terraforming technology, allowing the continents to come together to form a single super continent, it also took advantage of this technology to make Dark Cloud Province as inaccessible as possible.

As a result, there were only two paths to enter this province that didn't include the sky. The Northern Passage and the Southern Passage.

Noah and Leonel had split into two groups, each manning one of the passages. Leonel was tasked with bringing support from the South.

According to what Leonel understood, Dark Cloud Province already had its own forces, obviously. They were simply bringing support. In addition, it would be their job to capture any escapees once the situation was settled. Aside from this, they would have to worry about the forces of Terrain that had been sent to this location, which should include the forces of Hargrove City.

Leonel took the vanguard of the army with Aina by his side. She held onto her great sword, a serious light hidden behind the slits of her mask.

The forest was quite dense. Moving in such a large group would make things difficult, so Leonel took advantage of the ten-man squads he had formed and had them fan out. It would be difficult to fight any large scale battles in this place, but that also went for the enemy as well. With the makeup of the squads, it would be much easier for them to deal with issues.

At that moment, Leonel's gaze suddenly sharpened.

'As expected.'

Just a few seconds after Leonel had the thought, a communication talisman lit up by his side and entered his ears silently.

”Captain, Squad North West has detected the movement of enemy scouts. They number seven. Standing by for orders.”

It was impossible for Terrain to not also be aware that there were only two entry paths to Dark Cloud Province. In that case, how could they not erect their own blockades to stop incoming reinforcements?
