Season 3: Chapter 239. Not Much Time Left (1)
Ringo's eyes trembled with fear.
'Since when...?'
Gold had been piling up, but their wood was suddenly at zero. When he checked the main base, all the workers chopping wood had been killed. He urgently issued [Search] orders everywhere. The main base didn’t have many available troops. The soldiers who had drowned had to be re-recruited as quickly as possible.
'What's going on? I thought only one enemy survived.'
Even while issuing orders, Ringo couldn't hide his confusion. He thought he had dealt with all the intruders on the island. Only one enemy, almost dead, remained. He had forgotten about it due to the larger battle.
'I told the soldiers to guard the forest.'
He had ordered the soldiers to defend, so it was understandable that they forgot about the enemy. Even if one enemy remained, the worst they could do was disrupt the wood gathering. The soldiers stationed nearby would be able to handle it.
Ringo's thoughts had been correct. He had accurately predicted the enemy's target. However, he didn't know how far the enemy could go.
"All dead...?"
The soldiers he stationed there were now corpses. Only one enemy existed, yet seven of his soldiers had died. The culprit was nowhere to be seen. Ringo could trace the route. From his perspective, he could see the trail left by the enemy.
Wherever the enemy blatantly passed, no workers remained. Where he hadn't gone, workers still continued their tasks. Based on this, the enemy had yet to reach the northern end where the other workers resided. The enemy had infiltrated from the southwest and moved northeast.
