He added, “There are only two potential scenarios in this situation. First, Julius might not have earned the Dragon Guard’s trust. Alternatively, Reagan could have sent this team to test Julius.”

“And the second?” Austin asked.

“The second possibility is that Julius betrayed us. It could be a trap orchestrated by the Dragon Guard, using a decoy team to draw us out and setting up a full-scale ambush,” Dustin replied.

He solemnly added, “Julius is the only one at risk in the first scenario. As for the second scenario, we might have walked into an enemy trap.”

The castle’s elite forces promptly scattered, staying on high alert.

At that moment, laughter resonated through the sky, causing a disturbance that sent countless birds into flight.
