Chapter 69

“Now? Have they arrived at the border already?” Daran snapped.

“No, not the border.“.

The guard looked horrified.

“They attacked Fox Town earlier this evening, which is only about 50 miles from here! The whole village was burnt down to the ground…Alpha, you have got to come and take a look!”

Janet widened her eyes in shock.

…How was this even possible?

How did the rouges cross the border without anyone noticing and come this far into their territory?

Most importantly, the timing was super suspicious.

They were just about to send out their advance force to the border. Yet the rogues acted before they did and ambushed their village first.

Did the rogues know where they planned to deploy troops?

…Had anyone been feeding information to the rogues?

That thought sent a chill down Janet’s spine.

“Janet!”

Daran cried and snapped Janet back to reality.

“I need to go down to the Fox Town immediately,” he said.

“I am coming with you!” Janet hissed.

Daran frowned. He dashed out of the office with Janet following on his heels. When they reached the ground floor, Daran said to her hastily, “Gather your best men and meet me at Fox Town. Be careful!”

“You too.”

Janet hurried down the stairs and rushed into the night.

She called Balvina first, asking her to assemble their soldiers. Balvina sounded sleepy at first. But she jerked wide awake when Janet told her what happened.

“Rogues at Fox Town?! Tonight?” she cried with the rustling sound of clothes in her background. She was getting dressed at the same time, “But how is this possible-
