Chapter 12

Chapter 11 – The Republic’s Ploy (2)

It went without saying that the one leading the attack on top of the Grey Mountains was Milton. His subordinates, Jerome, Rick, and Tommy were also there next to him.

“Fortunately, we made it in time.”

“Thank goodness.”

“We were fortunate to get immediate support.”

Milton moved as soon as he heard the enemy had entered the valley of the wind. He took just three others with him to the Valley of the Winds — Jerome, Rick, and Tommy. These four were the only ones to move out to keep the enemy unaware.

If a whole squad moved out, the enemy was likely to catch on and capture them. This was done so secretively that someone who didn’t know of the circumstances would surely think of them to be deserters. However, there was a problem here.

“My Lord, even with Sir Jerome, there’s no way just us four can hold off the enemy.”

It was just as Tommy spoke during their trek.
