Chapter 209: The Knights’ Night Out (3)
“......Why is no one here?”
After spending thirty grueling minutes swimming through the treacherous currents and successfully infiltrating the Grand Temple, Ihan blinked in confusion.
He supposed he should just be grateful that he made it inside. But considering the sheer level of security outside, the complete absence of guards inside was... odd.
"Did they cut down on internal patrols, relying entirely on the exterior forces?"
That made sense in theory—but was it really the best strategy?
Ihan tilted his head, puzzled.
But at the same time, he considered himself lucky.
His stamina had taken a serious hit—having to swim while maintaining Turtle Breath Technique, dealing with giant crocodiles and venomous water snakes without shedding a drop of blood...
Seriously, what kind of insane river had that many monsters?
He had to subdue them instead of killing them outright, which made it the most difficult battle he had faced in recent memory.
So, the lack of resistance upon entry?
He’d take it as a small blessing—a chance to catch his breath, even if only for a moment.
