We slowly removed the manhole cover, trying to make as little noise as possible. Fortunately, the spot where we entered the Silver Fang Battalion's compound was just as I remembered it from the book.
There were no guards at this spot, so it was a blind spot in their defenses. However, from that point onwards, there should have been several guards, as though we had spawned in an area packed with monsters.
I used Hawk Eyes the moment I reached the surface. I expected to see the place full of soldiers standing at the ready.
And they were there. There were indeed several Silver Fang soldiers dressed in gleaming silver armor, their swords sheathed, scattered throughout the corridors, along the building's walls, and across the open courtyard.
But they weren't standing guard. They were all lying unconscious on the ground.
"Are they all… sleeping?"
"What?"
