"Sophia, Lilly. Prepare the army. We don't have time to wait around. If we hold off on the invasion because of this, it will just give the heroes more time to fortify the cities. If push comes to shove, you might have to deploy with the army without us. That's only if it looks like we are close to solving this." Kace replied with a determined expression. "There must be something we can do! It feels like you're trying to push us aside!" Sophia vehemently objected. "Not at all. It's just that Grugda and I…-

Kace was stunned as he finally caught sight of what was creating the strange aura in the palace as he entered the room. 'I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't this.' He cast a grave glance over the pair of skeletons. The aura the woman's remains was given off had an intoxicating feel to it. Like it was trying to infect his mindset with rage and grief. Kace frowned as he tread closer to the throne. Death had become a constant for him in this new world, so he had become quite blunt to the effects it…

When Kace spotted Phillip's figure screaming inside the metal cage, he did not let out a surprised expression like the surrounding Tu'Thrag thought he would. Instead, he looked slightly perplexed. He somewhat sensed Phillip's presence from outside the door, but that did not mean he understood what was going on. "Sir, you should take a look in the shadow realm." Lorget tentatively advised. Kace frowned as he wondered why that would be important, but he took his subordinate's word for it. He slipped into…

Lorget's sudden entrance and subsequent outburst caught everyone's attention. It immediately silenced Sophia from saying whatever it was that she wanted to. Kace sprang from his seat to Lorget's side in the blink of an eye. Causing most of the monsters present to hold their breath at such a display of speed. As Kace exited the doorway with Lorget in tow, Grugda and the two women also made their move. They were faster to react than anyone else because they had gotten used to the kind of dangers that lurked…

Kace kept eyeing the door that led to the room where the group's women had their private discussion. He seriously wondered at what could be so vital for them to have locked themselves away for so long. The barracks' atmosphere was lively as everyone's discussions turned to what they would be facing once they deployed. Practically everyone was a survivor of past campaigns against hero strongholds. Which made for some gruelling discussions. The goblins were the ones that seemed the most concerned as to…

Lorget hurriedly led his squad through the palace. This time they were aiming to find Shara's group. Lorget wholeheartedly believed that they had already seen the most critical information. So there was no need to disturb anything else that may be resting in here. At least, not without Kace to back them up. 'I don't get it. The ruler should be the heart and soul of the city. So why is everyone acting like nothing has happened to her? The staff that worked here have to know the situation at least. It…

Kace pretended not to notice as the infiltration squad left their ranks. He kept their course steady towards the barracks before them. There were too many questions on his mind right now that coupled with the strange atmosphere had him on edge. He sincerely hoped that he was wrong about something being off around the whole situation. Lively sounds came from within the barracks, which eased the majority of his worries. 'At least they're still ok, for now.' He had half been worried that the situation had…

Lorget decided to take the plunge. The information that could be hidden behind this door was just too valuable to pass up. Who knew how long it would take them to scour the rest of the palace for even a fraction of what they might find here? However, since it was him making the decision in the face of such a risk, then it was only right that he was the one to perform the task. "I'm going to take a look. Keep an eye on me from over here. Be ready to intervene if you're needed." Lorget resolutely announced…

Although they were in a separate realm, Lorget's team would not be complacent. They knew all too well that other entities also used this space. So they could not rule out the possibility of meeting some resistance. They proceeded through the hallway slowly, taking their time to check each ripple that came across. From time to time, Lorget would even order one of them to cross over. Some areas were blind to them due to the positioning of the ripples. Lorget felt it best to be prudent and check everything…

Lorget was chosen to head the infiltration force. By this point, nobody in the tribe batted an eye at his decision to continue to wear a dress. His wide-brimmed hat and frilly dress certainly made him stick out like a sore thumb among the others. However, with the battles the tribe had been through since they began to follow Kace, Lorget was provided with ample opportunities to display his worth. Nobody questioned Shadow's judgement in choosing him for the captain of this mission. The infiltration squad…
