Chapter 270 - Escape (1) (1/2)

With the reinforcements issue had been settled, Auron went back to his mage character, who was still inside the underground prison. Once again, Auron met with the darkness of the prison.

”Psstt... Hey...” Auron called the man.

However, there was no reply. Auron called the man once again, ”Hey... Are you sleeping?”

”Ehmm... Are you done?” The man, with a sleepy tone, replied Auron

At first, the man had waited for Auron patiently. However, he had nothing to do while waiting. Moreover, he didn't know how long it would take for Auron to complete his task. In the end, he fell asleep when waiting for Auron.

”Yes, I am done,” Auron answered excitedly.

In his sleepy tone, the man asked again, ”How many soldiers could you bring here? 100? 200?”

The man had asked the soldier's number because he had to adjust the plan according to the soldier's showed up.

”500 veteran soldiers!” Auron answered proudly. Although it was because of Alice's help, however, he still took some part in it.

”Okay, 500 soldiers! Then, it looked like I have to revise the plan. We have to use this...” The man started to murmur about changing his plan.

”Wait! 500? You didn't say it wrongly, right?” The man realized that Auron said 500, and it was more than what he had been asking for.

”No! It is 500 veteran soldiers.”

”Huh, it is also veteran soldiers? How can you achieve it?” As the man was from the military, he knew what veteran soldiers mean. The man started to question Auron's identity. Moreover, the method Auron used to inform the military from inside the prison.

”It is a trade secret,” Auron replied mysteriously.

”I believe this number of soldiers was enough, right?” Auron ensured that the soldier's number was enough from them to escape.

”It is more than enough. You brought 500 soldiers. On top of it, all of them are veteran soldiers. Not to mention escaping, we could even destroy this bandit's fortress with that number.”

”You are not deceiving me, right?” The man still could not believe what Auron had said.

”Well, I don't care you believe me or not. But, you should, at least, tell me your plan if you don't believe me. I need to escape.”

”Okay... Okay... I will believe you this time. Wait, I need to adjust the plan. How long until the soldiers arrived?”

”It should be around two or three hours more.”

”Perfect! It is still dawn in two or three hours more. We can do a surprise attack.”

”Now, can you tell me about your plan?” Auron tried to find out the full plan.
