章 638: Kulah (Part 2)

"What are your orders, Captain Ernas?" There was something in the way Morok said the word that made it sound like an insult.

"Let's move. We need to reach the ruins as soon as possible. Ranger Eari, you and two of my men take point. Ranger Verhen, cover our back. Everyone else, if someone tries to sneak away from the group, strike first and ask questions later."

The three soldiers nodded, making the Assistant Professors swallow. None of them had expected their bodyguards to turn into their jailers.

Morok picked up the pace and so did everyone else. Everyone walked in silence, they were too busy watching their steps to waste energy chatting.

Lith was alone with Quylla again and was now worried about another unexpected turn of events. The more they advanced, the fewer creatures he would spot along the corridors until the group was completely alone.
