Chapter 387: Secret Passage
Translator: Dess Editor: Zayn_
The wagon stopped behind an earth ramp .
Kieran took his belongings and jumped off the wagon . It was the last moment of dawn; the sun would soon rise .
With the height of Lightning Fortress, one would only need slightly sharp eyes to spot movements far away even if they were not a archer .
Even more so, the Prairie invaders were mostly archers, and if the commander was not an idiot, he would know how to utilize his advantages after taking over the fortress .
Therefore, Kieran and Bosco had to be careful of their steps .
"This is as far as I can escort you! God speed, Sir 2567!" Bosco said with a rarely seen serious tone .
"Em! Please bid farewell to Mary for me . Although I really wanted to say it myself…"
Kieran shrugged and discontinued his words .
He really wanted to bid farewell to Mary with his own words before, but when he saw the little girl's expression, he couldn't take any action, and when he realized it, he was already in the wagon .
It really was regretful since he couldn't say it himself, but delivering the message through someone else would be the same, or so he thought . But he didn't expect Bosco's reply .
"Please deliver your farewell to her Highness yourself, dear sir… This kind of farewell is too heavy for me to deliver, please forgive my incompetence!"
Bosco then turned around and boarded the wagon, leaving Kieran behind after he finished speaking .
Kieran raised a brow when he saw the wagon disappearing in the darkness . Seemed like Bosco had misunderstood his meaning, but Kieran had just lost the chance to explain .
He couldn't halt Bosco out loud because it would expose him to the enemies .
He shook his head and threw the trifling thoughts away, focusing his attention on inspecting Lightning Fortress from afar .
The secret passage was located at the left mountain side of the fortress . Although it was not that high on top, but the important point was that Kieran had to dodge the sights of the patrols on top of Lightning Fortress .
It might be easier during the night with the cover of darkness, but once daylight bathed the land, even Kieran himself did not have enough confidence in avoiding them .
So he prepared to move out immediately, but when he looked at Lightning Fortress, his body shivered uncontrollably .
He saw that both sides of the main path to the fortress were piled up with tons of corpses!
Corpses that belonged to the defending commander of the fortress before . All of them had been chopped into pieces; although they were not as tamp, it was enough to send chills down the spine when one laid eyes on it .
Kieran had seen a lot of bodies throughout his dungeon runs, but it was the first time he saw corpses piled up like that . Only after being stunned for two to three seconds did he recollect his thoughts .
"To flaunt their achievements and scare the enemies?" Kieran muttered .
No doubt the invasion of the Prairies was quite successful .
Kieran was sure that if the remaining troops of Warren managed to make it there with their flickering morale, they would be instantly crushed and dispirited upon witnessing such a scene .
Though it was just a nearly impossible hypothesis, Kieran had to make alterations to his original plans .
"Bloodthirst? No! These were not just bloodthirsty invaders, but…"
After a quick glance over the pile of corpses, the numbers were even more than when he broke through the fortress . Where did the other corpses came from?
A part of it must be those soldiers from the battle with the Prairies during their invasion, and the other part…
Prisoners of war!
Even though Kieran took the smaller path which was hidden from common sight, he still could see routed troops returning from Lightning Fortress from time to time .
There were at least a hundred of them, though compared to the numbers of troops defending the fortress, it was not a lot .
