Chapter 206 Silent hypnosis
206 Silent hypnosis
The soldiers had already left their tents by the time the first ray of sunlight appeared in the sky but were in disarray as they did not know what was happening. Not only was yesterday's battle futile, but now hundreds of soldiers were missing, including all Vice-Captains except for Uriel's group.
Uriel and the other four Vice-Captains had already assembled their soldiers and were in formation, ready to march into the forest. From the moment Cain became the Hunt Leader, they had been working on their own, so the disappearance of the other Vice-Captains did not affect their battle formations.
Nevertheless, Uriel could not help but frown. He had planned to summon all the Vice-Captains yesterday in order to remove Cain from his role as Hunt Leader, but they just vanished without saying a word.
'What is happening? Why would the strongest soldiers leave at night and shut down all communication with the main force?'
As Uriel was trying to figure out what happened, he saw that the soldiers began to focus on him. He was the highest-ranking commander present, which incited the soldiers to seek his guidance.
Uriel's eyes narrowed as a smile emerged on his face. He knew as much as the rest of the soldiers, but that would not stop him from taking advantage of the situation.
"There are military movements taking place right now under the command of the Hunt Leader. You are not fit to take part in it and should wait for further information if you are deemed worthy."
Although vague, that answer helped the soldiers solve some of their doubts.
Uriel would have wanted to spread malice against Cain and the other Vice-Captains among the troops but had no idea what was happening to them and was smart enough not to spread misinformation with the Captains looking from a distance.
