”Brother Zhao, do you think they can do what they say they can?” Zhao Xin and the others hid amongst some bushes. While they watched Han Sen, the youngest of the three asked Zhao Xin the question.
”They sound confident, so they definitely possess some manner of strength. But even if they can take down this royal shelter, I'm not sure they have the strength to take down Sword-Palace Shelter.” Zhao Xin paused for a minute, and then said, ”Still, for now, if they can just manage to break the spirit stone here in Sword-Furnace Shelter, we'll be free.”
”Then let us hope for the best and pray they are successful!” the young man said, his eyes also resting on Han Sen.
The three of them held their hands and prayed after this. If the group was not successful in liberating the shelter, their betrayal might later be found out. If it was, then the three of them who were under contract would most assuredly be given a torturous death.
After Han Sen and his people entered the shelter, the noise of explosions, clanging weaponry, and the shrieks and warcries of battle sounded from within the walls. The three of them sweated in anticipation.
It didn't last for very long. And after a short while of audible fighting, the city fell silent.
”Brother Zhao, why is it all quiet? Were they all killed?” the young man asked.
”I don't think so.” Zhao Xin wasn't entirely sure. It was strange, though; they had only been inside for a short while, so how could the battle have come to an end so soon?
The fear of the group being unsuccessful lingered on the minds of the three, and the idea that Han Sen might have already conquered the shelter in such a short time seemed too silly for them to even consider.
All of a sudden, a swordsman appeared from out of the gate. His build was heavy, and they recognized his figure all too well. It was a spirit of Sword-Furnace Shelter.
”We are done for,” Zhao Xin quietly muttered. He hadn't expected them to be defeated so soon.
The two young men had hoped, more than anything, to return to the Alliance if they had been freed. But now? They didn't think that was happening anytime soon.
But then, after watching the spirit with bated breath, the tension in their contorted expressions loosened. They couldn't believe it.
Another person came out from behind the gates of the shelter, and as he stepped past, the spirit moved aside like a servant.
When Zhao Xin squinted to take a better look, that person was the young man who had told them his people could take the shelter and give them back their freedom.
”The royal spirit is obeying him?” Zhao Xin looked amazed.
”How could he have achieved all that so quickly?” The young man was in awe.
Han Sen bid for the three to emerge from the bushes and enter the shelter. After coming inside, they were able to confirm that Han Sen had indeed conquered the shelter and asserted control.
The bodies of slain creatures were strewn about everywhere. The shelter had been populated with a large sum of mutant creatures, but now they were all dead.
