Chapter 177: Beast tide? I’m not afraid, I have a ship
The warship docked and Chu You set foot on land. In front of him was a winding path leading to the army camp.
Wasting no time, he sprinted towards it.
"Halt!"
An improvised watchtower appeared in front; guards on the tower stopped Chu You in his tracks.
"Who goes there?"
Chu You slowed to a walk, approaching steadily. In a flash, he pulled out his Baron Token from his bag, raising it for the guard to see clearly.
"I am the nobleman You Ye from the Kingdom of Yan, here to discuss urgent matters with your army chief!"
After Chu You had given his name, the guard was surprised, "So you are Lord Youye? Our Army Chief said you could go see him directly. Please proceed immediately!" After speaking, he rang the bell beside him. The old bell echoed into the distance.
So they knew who he was?
Chu You quickly understood. This was an intelligence gathering place, and the Army Chief was Deputy to the Grand Marshal. Since he had received a mission from the Grand Marshal, it made sense that they would know who he was.
He sped through the first checkpoint. As he ventured deeper, he noticed an increased sense of wariness around him. He could sense the presence of high-level assassins and faced more barriers and guards the further he went.
