At this time, the dozen or soMaster Han's teaathered within the walls of Luori City Their expression was pained as they looked towards their mercenary leader
“We can't just die for nothing!” These ive up until all hope it was truly lost “They may be extreive theood show!”
“Call the guys froested after a short pause
“Yes!” Their leader nodded “How's the fight over by their end?”
“They are still at loggerheads with one another; no one else see yet,” another replied
“But of course Those guys there are surely fighting to stall for ti with theather our roup leader ordered
Hence, his underlings instantly got to work, each of theuild Most MMO players valued loyalty, so the hteously threw in their lot in a show of integrity, often co further questions about the ht forth plenty of co their numbers to somewhere over fifty
“What's thea athered lot of players asked
“Yeah, its aWe need help froet your help once the matter is resolved”
“What's a favor between friends!? Come, lead us to them!”
The throng of players quickly gathered up and set forth valiantly The mercenary leader who had just been painfully schooled was extre their enely doubted they were that vicious
Leaving the city, that throng of players quicklyforward swiftly, ready to give Young Master Han and the rest a painfully elcome On the other side of the valley, Southern Lone Blade and his squad of sevento miss their opportunity to profit from other people's efforts
After chasing for a short while, the sevenbefore the fork in that valley They were instantly stunned by this develop to carry on the chase
“Why would there be a fork here…” Glue grumbled to himself This could be considered his dereliction of duty, as he was tasked with the scouting duty, being the only player that possessed an Archer's Eagle Eye It was his fault that for not noticing there was a fork in the river valley now that they were on the hunt for their target
“This isn't your fault,” Southern Lone Blade consoled hile Eye”
“Where do the paths go? Which one did they choose?”
“Everyone! Check around to see if there's any footprints!” Southern Lone Blade cried out
The squad immediately split themselves into two and each searched around for any traces of players passing by Soon, that burly Thief made a discovery over by the left branch and quickly called the others over Everyone ran over and saw a distinct muddy track
“Any discoveries on the other side?” Southern Lone Blade was still not convinced, so he asked the three others ent searching at the right branch
“Nope!” the three replied
“The right is the way to Luori City, yet they instead went left?” Southern Lone Blade knitted his eyebrows
“How do you know? Have you been here before?” His co to what they knew, Southern Lone Blade had never once stepped a foot in Luori City
“No, but I just found that out from a friend I have in Luori City,” Southern Lone Blade replied
“Where does the left lead to?” someone asked
“A dead end,” Southern Lone Blade replied
“Could it be that they had no idea which way to go, and chose the wrong route?” another guessed
“No,” Southern Lone Blade shook his head, “The right goes straight to Luori City, so anyone from Luori City would block their way, had they taken that path They must have intentionally taken the left branch of the river valley so as to avoid that blockade”
“But that means they would be further away fro such a reat?”
“Not at all The terrain over here is like this!” Southern Lone Blade squatted down and began drawing out a reverse letter 'A' on the ground, lifting his head over to the rest of his men, “Get it?”
“So there's still a path that connects the left and right branches up ahead Their decision is probably to first take the left branching path, calculate the approxih the right side before taking that connecting path back to the right This places theht behind the ene theed Clothes already understood their plan
Southern Lone Blade nodded his head, “The enemy seems to be rather familiar with the terrain here”
“So what's our recourse?”
“We head to the right,” Southern Lone Blade said
“The right?” A man was confused
