Chapter 98
In the dark, narrow tunnels, a relentless battle raged. The Silver’s mercenaries, wandering knights, lowly sellswords, and the knights of the Eir family were locked in an unending struggle for the map.
“At last, I’ve shaken off that leech,” Jin declared, after a fierce chase.
Despite his pursuer, Baiken, being of a higher realm, the chaotic melee made it difficult for him to follow. Jin, finding a spot untouched by others, put his fingers to his lips and blew a sharp whistle.
Whiiieeek!
The whistle was quickly drowned out in the deadly scramble, but it caught the attention of some lowly mercenaries. They were special operatives in disguise.
“The captain’s call,” they realized.
“We must rendezvous as quickly as possible.”
The operatives, each gripping a sharp dagger, began to cut through the pandemonium.
Thwack! Stab!
Stab-stab! Stab!
They swiftly plunged their daggers into the solar plexus of those in their way, retrieving them with equal speed. Their silent efficiency went unnoticed, their assassination skills too covert for detection.
