"Listen! Someone!" The leading masked man suddenly whispered sharply, instantly on alert.
A series of orderly and heavy footsteps, accompanied by the clattering sound of armor, came from the alley's entrance ahead, getting closer and closer. Judging by the sound, there were no less than ten people.
The three men instantly fell silent, exchanged glances, and immediately suppressed their presence, slowing their pace as if they were leisurely traveling. They supported each other, naturally leading the way toward a narrower side road on the right, trying to avoid the approaching troops.
However, as soon as they rounded the corner, they were face-to-face with another squad of fully armed soldiers.
"Who?!"
The light of the torches instantly illuminated the narrow alley, revealing the faces of the Forbidden Army Soldiers.
