“Could it be that my whereabouts have been exposed? How could it be such a coincidence otherwise?”
As Noland Lee pondered the possibility of his cover being blown, he followed the troops into the tunnel leading to the prison cell.
The coal lamps hanging on the walls emitted a dim flame, illuminating the square walls made of stone bricks. A thick layer of dust coated the floor of the tunnel, and bullet marks were clearly visible on the walls. It seemed that battles had taken place in the Empire’s narrow pass.
The accompanying soldiers began to converse.
“We have to cooperate with the Second Place again to catch spies… Ugh, it happens every two or three days.”
“I don’t understand why the higher-ups sealed the fortress? In the past, when we caught spies, didn’t we just check their names and identities?”
“I estimate that the entire border defense line in the east must be on high alert.
For the Death Notice spies to leave the Boundary Land, they’d have to cross the Blade Mountain Range and take boats back to the Empire from the Golden Federation’s illegal crossing. Such incidents have happened quite a few times. Haven’t those famous senior members of the Death Herald Guild done it like this before?”
“The people of the Death Herald Guild really have some skills, just flipping over such hizh mountain ranqes like that.”
“Hey, be careful not to let the Second Place hear you say that, or you will suffer. But don’t think the Death Herald Guild people are too amazing either. The price they paid for forcibly crossing the mountains is huge. I heard that they must first use magic to turn themselves into Skeleton Warriors, and then jump off the clifftop. After reaching the ground, they find their heads, arms, and thighs, and put them back together. If they’re missing a few bones, then transforming back into human form is painful, half dead, and could even be
fatal. ”
“Tsk, what do the Death Herald Guild people want by going through all this trouble?”
“What else can they want? Of course, it’s to bring important magical items back with them. I’ve heard that the thing that led to the fall of the Korabo Corps Fortress is a genuine magic wand. Don’t you think the Death Herald Guild would want to bring it back?”
One of the soldiers praised:
“Wow, mate, I never thought you’d know so much.”
Noland Lee also thought that the talkative soldier knew too much. Unconsciously, he glanced over and then froze.
It was because that soldier was looking at him with a deep gaze, a faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth:
“Hehe, of course, I know more, much more than all of you combined. Don’t you think so, Private Second Class Isa?”
Noland Lee’s heart trembled.
Just as he was about to create confusion and flee the scene, he was suddenly struck by a transparent lightning.
Invisible heavy pressure came from all directions, pinning him firmly in place.
