Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1262

Carissa blinked in surprise, for the first time noticing how remarkably handsome and reassuring her martial uncle seemed.

A map was spread out before them, and one by one, the heads leaned in to get a closer look. The map showed a network of tunnels, crisscrossing like a spider's web, but there were only four points of entry. Two on the east, one to the west, and another to the south. The northern entrance, near Stone Village, had no tunnel at all.

Which meant the only way in was through the northern path, where there were no tunnels.

However, saying there were only four entrances wasn't entirely accurate. While the mountain had many entrances, the tunnels themselves only had four exits. No matter where they entered the mountain, they would eventually have to exit through one of these four points.

Before anyone could fully take in the map, Everett laid down a second one, sliding his hand across it until his finger came to rest on a marked symbol.

"These villages all have tunnels. There are 13 villages in total. Take a good look and memorize them quickly. We'll split into teams to guard the four exits while we wait for them. As for the villages, we'll send others to investigate.

Carissa felt the weariness lift from her shoulders. She gave her uncle a thumbs-up, her eyes brimming with flattery. "Sage Everett, you're amazing! You came here and immediately broke the deadlock. I want to be on your team."
