Bab 561: Count

Back at the battlement, the two guards immediately hid behind the balustrade. Like this, they wouldn't have noticed the missing slaves at all.

"Has it stopped?" Survivor #1 asked #2, worried that an arrow would come flying in as soon as he checked. 

Survivor #2 just furrowed his eyebrows in wonder. "Where would it come from?"

After the onset of panic calmed, Survivor #2 soon realized what could've happened. At this, he whipped his head to #1 and pointed in a direction. 

"Crawl!"

"What?"

"Crawl to any other side! Just do it!"

And so they did. When they lifted their heads and no arrow came to them, they heaved a sigh of relief. By the time they stood tall and there were still no attacks, they felt a bit smug.

"What happened?" #1 asked, still unsure what just happened. #2 smirked. 

"Idiot. They could only get a limited vantage point from the second floor," he said. We'll be safe here."
