The sun shined brightly, so as the grasses nearly burned out. Fring and Coral ran in front of other soldiers, some of them ride, some of them walked, but they all became tired and tired. Some said: Sir! Why not stop and take a rest! The sun killing me! Which might not change Coral's mind, Fring didn't either. The only thing he is thinking about is walking, walking to the safety sanctuary and put their eyes on the enemies. Actually, there is one small house for them to stay, the house is nearly broken apart, that no one will such bored to take a look. The fight? He never cared about that. He only wants to be the advance force to get into the city and find as much valuable treasures as possible. His target was almost achieved, because at this moment, everyone's tired, it's the best time to get into the city, even just "collecting items". "Sir?" He said excited, " We have almost get into the sanctuary!", Coral just look around— he seem to be mind wandering. "Wha—t? Where sanctuary?" He said in an absent way. "Behind the grasses, sir, if we— Not serious, Seizing this opportunity, we can kill those idiot!", Coral keep silence for a while, after a long sign, he said "don't be hasty, my friend, forgetting what "him" just said? We are coming for over watching, not for fighting!", "But he did said we have chance to do so, if we set off in emmm— time!", " That's not what we are going, that's what we are going to go, we know nothing about enemies, we are coming just for safety, just for information.", "But you don't know why I came back..." a strange noise stop the conversation. That's the sound of east-men's horn, but at this point? It can only be a sign for battle. The deep and powerful sound let the whole land scared, all the soldiers stop to listen, it last for a whole minute, people shut up and stop breathing, the sensation of asphyxiation almost kill everyone. Until a different sound appeared, there was a bird, a dirty pigeon, it seems loss, maybe his family members are killed by the east, Fring thought.
"Calm down guys" said Fring carefully, "Come with me, the house is almost there!", other people keep silence, just mechanically followed the man looks cunning— he always has his own thoughts, that's one of the reason why Mar did like him and keep him, and that's why he can always survive in the frontline, but Coral didn't like his trait, actually, he didn't care about the so called "Cleverness". If it can help everyone in danger, the trait is priceless, but if not, that might become a biggest obstacle for him, he try his best to show his ignorance for Fring's actions, but he can't. Now, the old backward general are asked to corporate with a self centeredness silly man. After everything's settled, Fring asked Coral individually: "what are you going to do after we take over the city, boss?", "You should ask yourself, you are the boss now, you know the landscape better than me" he stop and talk "there must be some better place for us to stay, right? Like a hotel?" He had paused for a long time. After central city disappeared, he had a long time never talked about the word, even in the castle. The cruel fact is, there are only individual houses and public houses in TreeFort, Not even to say the "merchant" and "traveler", both disappeared for very long time, cities would not allow any individual to exchange with people in other cities, that will be risky, even in a foreign castle, the manager can kill every "foreigner" if they want. So people all know, separating for central city is not a coincidence, it's a possible trend in every centuries. Fring pulled Coral out of his "Brainstorming", Fring said: "Sir, what do you mean? Is that any kind of code?", Coral sign again, but not such noticeable this time, "Forget about it, let's talk about the strategy for next steps"
About Half hour later, people set off the sanctuary, In fact, only Fring and a few soldiers. They formed the advance force, when they finally get out from the messy grasses around north city, they see the giant gate of which. But unexpected things are, no guard there, no east soldiers, even the birds stop singing, everything goes into silence, like an opening predator's mouth, which can easily eat up its prey. "We should come back, guys?" but he don't actually think he can run away, so as other soldiers, they still like ice statues. After made sure everything's alright, Fring start to walk into the city. "Come on, guys!", one of the soldier scared and said "Fring, we are just coming for information, which will be very risky!", "If it really is, why didn't Coral ask more soldiers to stay with us? Think about that, it's not only about pos and cons, challenges and opportunities, it's about what we are going to do! If we can find something valuable— I mean information, then Coral can follow up! Boy, you look different, why not take this risk with me? There must be someone to take the risk." As he expected, including him, three soldiers come with him, others planned to go back "good luck, guys! Talk to Coral, the city is now clear! Please come as soon as possible!" Those soldiers run away quickly, left the four guys behind.
"Now, guys, two of us come to one side, two of us come to another side, ok?" two men nodded and go to the right side, Fring and the guy who just talk with him go to the other side. "What's your name? Boy? That's the best choice you might have in your life!", "Keep vigilant, Fring, you might forget my name, but I always come with you in the mission. Regardless, your brain can not contain something else but money.", Fring look curious "let me guess, you called... O...something?", "Orlando" Orlando said briefly continued to walk very fast. After a while, those four met at another door. "You found something?" Orlando asked, "nothing, not even dead bodies, the city didn't like facing any kind of invasion, but a well-planned event. People seem to leave very early.", "which is not a good news", Orlando added, "Think about that, guys, where can they go? It's a trap! It's planned by the east!", "Calm down, Orl, calm down, they can kill us anytime they want, but why they don't? They should close the doors as we enter this strange place!" Fring seems a little nervous now. But the changes comes to fast, some noise appears in the west gate, where they enter the city, they quickly run toward the direction. Some normal- dress people are fighting with the army— looks like Coral and his men. Not until the four guys run toward them, the fighting stop, the bodies and blood is everywhere. After seeing them toward himself, Coral said ironic and angrily "you should stay with me, uhh- so that we can save if you are surrounded by those madman!", "Fortunately, we took over this city, no one's here, why not come back to TreeFort and tell everyone ?", "As you expect, benefits are all for you? Hard works are all for me?" satirize Coral,Things should change! Great hero! Go back to see the 'stupid guy' ! We will leave a rat for you to eat. Without hesitate, Fring ran toward the castle, nobody knew, he just pick up a stupid stone, but which is enough for him.
