Chapitre 559: Status of the Slaves

After a long torturous travel, they arrived near the walls a couple of minutes later. 

They kept behind a few houses, slowly looking up if there was a guard nearby. "This spot doesn't have a sentry," Tacky said, "But there could be guards." 

 They learned from befriending some aborigines like Rona that when war came, people had to get past the 'main' walls in order to win. The Lord knew this too, so it wouldn't be a surprise if he set guards everywhere in the inner wall battlement while keeping their outside area minimally guarded. 

However, to their surprise, there was no guard—at all—nearby, which alone was surprising as they would expect Fargo to focus on guarding this area.

"Miss Althea and the others must be causing havoc inside," Dog said smugly, and the others agreed. "He has thousands of guards. How can there be no one hunting for us when we're already so near the walls?"
