Albinia paused. He quickly grasped the significance of the question and replied, ”My teacher is Levent. And you are …” If he could figure out how they were related, his situation might be improved.

”Levent. As I suspected …” Sha Ya felt relieved.

She noticed Ye Chong looking at her, and explained, ”I know Levent. We worked together before. He likes to put on a green colored string as a bracelet on his wrist, and often shows it off, that's why I remember it. Looks like his student inherited the quirk.”

Albinia was overjoyed. It was quite fortunate for the lady to know his teacher.

”What do we do with them?” Sha Ya turned to Ye Chong. Since they were students of a friend, she hoped Ye Chong would not kill them. However, she also knew that Ye Chong was never hesitant in killing. Albinia and Lotesh waited in suspense like it was the Day of Judgment.

Ye Chong asked, ”How did you enter Darkniss?” The question was a curious one. Every country, including Western Frost, Eastern Cloud and Northern Lands had an entrance to Darkniss. Ye Chong had heard of it, but he did not know the details.

”We started from the Wilkinson Range, then entered the Maze Tunnels through the Snowy Ridge. From there, we entered Darkniss. We went deeper and deeper inside for I don't know how long, and then we got lost and couldn't find the entrance anymore,” Albinia explained haltingly, looking vexed. It was easy to tell from their tattered clothing that the past few days had not been easy for them.

Wilkinson Range, Snowy Ridge, Maze Tunels – Ye Chong had not yet heard of these places, and thus could not quite understand the context. Sha Ya, however, was familiar with them. She explained, ”Western Frost has another entrance into Darkniss, different to one in Eastern Cloud. Northern Lands also has its own entrance.”

Ye Chong understood the crux of the matter immediately. ”This means that we can enter the other two countries from Darkniss?”

”Theoretically speaking, yes. However, we don't know where the other two entrances are. Besides, it's easy to lose your way in Darkniss. It's easier to cross the border the usual way, even with the war happening right now. No one has tried to enter another country via Darkniss.”

Sha Ya explained calmly. She was already used to Ye Chong's obvious questions. She had realized early on that Ye Chong was often oblivious to many things that people thought of as common knowledge, but familiar with deep and technical knowledge. She found it curious at first, but got used to it eventually.

Albinia and Lotesh doubtfully stared at Ye Chong. They never imagined that someone would actually ask something like that.

”What do we do with them?” Sha Ya asked Ye Chong again.

”Let them stay, and have them join the training. Start at the very beginning.”

Ye Chong's orders changed the course of life of these two shooters.

That there were multiple entrances into Darkniss was important intel for Ye Chong. It meant that he would be able to access Western Frost and Northern Lands if he found their entrances.

That was the main point for Ye Chong.

Darkniss was full of natural resources, but it also had two fatal weaknesses. Firstly, Darkniss had no energy crystals. All production works would halt without them. The mechs they built would not be able to run without an energy source. Both Western Frost and Northern Lands sold energy crystals at a very affordable price.

Secondly, Darkniss did not offer enough food. Ye Chong had brought a lot of food and nutrition pills with him, but they would run out one day. There were five thousand mouths to feed, and nutrition pills were too wasteful to be used for daily meals.

For now, with the war going on, Sun Sieha would not try to start a fight with Ye Chong. It would not be too difficult for him to enter Eastern Cloud for resupply, especially for these non-military resources. Moreover, Ye Chong's unique weapons might just earn him another huge sum.

However, once the war between Eastern Cloud and Western Frost ended, Sun Sieha would definitely start restricting Ye Chong's access to these important resources, and perhaps even direct national military force at him. It was hard to tell whether his five thousand strong security detachment was enough to take on the military by then.

If Ye Chong could find the other two entrances, his situation would be vastly different.

Ye Chong could head to Western Frost and sell a few pieces of good tech to even out the military strength between the two countries. If Western Frost could start to defend itself using the new tech, it might even be able to overcome Eastern Cloud. The war might come to a stalemate eventually.
