and glimpsed a vast Square indicating
they were approaching the entrance to
the central area hold on gong leading
the group suddenly halted just as they
were about to reach the passage's exit
signaling everyone to retreat he
observed an unusually large number of
dwarf guards stationed at the entrance
to the central living area their
presence was particularly notable around
the dimly lit corners of the passageway
which allowed G Shong to discern the
anomaly first we cannot proceed from
here G Shang stated solemnly then what
should we do L Zing scratched his head
eager to peek out and assess the
situation yet he refrained fearing
Discovery D donion who was lagging
behind had not witnessed the earlier
events and now upon hearing junk words
pondered shall we switch to another area
indeed let us hasten our departure we
might be discovered shortly gang
decisively concluded due to the blockade
at the main mine there were scarcely any
dwarves traversing this route to the
Central Square making it nearly
impossible to blend and as humans their
mere approach would likely result in
expulsion or capture given the
overwhelming number of adversaries it
was prudent to avoid a forceful entry
shall we head to the Northern District L
Zing inquired as they walked the
Northern District was the closest
compared to the Eastern and Southern
districts however the southern District
was the stronghold of new oi
necessitating their Passage through the
Northern District to reach the Central
Area very well they retraced their steps
once more toward the Northern District
yet upon arrival they were met with an
even more dire situation numerous
dwarves were guarding several main roads
and even the path to the mine was under
surveillance fortunately these guards
did not seem to regard them as a
significant concern upon discovering
them they merely rudely expelled the
group and warned them to refrain from
entering the mining area for the next
few days the group retreated in disarray
finding a secluded passage where they
could finally slow their Pace luiu side
feeling utterly exhausted the mine was
extensive and low rendering all flying
devices unusable they had no choice but
to rely on their legs for movement after
nearly four continuous hours of back and
forth they decided to rest momentarily
and replenish their energy G Shang
settled down directly the secluded
passage had the drawback of being even
lower than the main pass passage forcing
the two boys to walk in a stooped
position causing them greater fatigue
I'm utterly worn out L Zing exclaimed
plopping down on the ground twisting his
neck and massaging his shoulders clearly
in discomfort without concern for the
dirt beneath them everyone sat
cross-legged against the wall gasping
for breath and sipping water hang Yun
rubbed her calves and in a tone of
resignation asked where do we go next
the Western District goodness what
happened into our Pursuit this feels
more like navigating a maze Ling rolled
his eyes don't jinx it I'd rather take a
longer route it's just sore legs their
Pace had not been slow they had been
moving swiftly and even guonan with her
robust physique felt fatigued let alone
the others contemplated for a moment
before looking at G Shong with an
inquiring gaze brother Shong what if we
simply go through the southern district
she believed the Western District might
not be easy either so trying the
southern district seemed more prudent I
in the shadows there's often less light
she added speculating that with Newall
dispatching so many guards perhaps his
own territory was less fortified the
others turned their gaze toward G Shang
upon hearing her suggestion gang
squinted slightly pondering for a moment
before nodding all right we shall rest
for half an hour before setting off I
