Cale, who entered into Renche, the Molden Kingdom's capital, folded the map in his hand and handed it to Jopis.

It was one of the two maps he had received from her.

Cale frowned a bit as he started to speak.

“It looks like we won't be able to infiltrate from above ground.”

“It does seem that way.”

Jopis also had a frown that would not go away.

“Cale-nim.”

Cale turned his head toward the low voice to see Choi Han heading toward where he was hiding.

“I checked it and the last entrance is blocked as well.”

“…Looks like things got much more complicated.”

The robed Tasha sighed.

A similarly robed Jopis bit down on her lips and focused on the map Cale handed her with a piercing gaze.

“In that case, we can say that there is no way to secretly infiltrate the Molden Palace from above ground.”

Her gaze could not move away from the small red dots on the map.

“Even the secret entrance I dug and the secret entrance that has been maintained for generations as an escape route for the royal family are blocked.”

“Elisneh must have blocked all entrances.”

“…That uselessly meticulous bitch.”

Cale pretended not to hear Jopis's coarse words. He then looked around at the others. They all had serious expressions on their faces.

Cale looked around a bit more before starting to speak.

“Let's wait a bit since the underground waterways are still an option.”

They still might be able to use the underground waterways to infiltrate the palace. Tasha nodded her head in agreement.

“That’s right. It is difficult to change the waterways without a major construction project. Water has to end up in the river, so the end of the waterway should still exist.”

There were Dark Elf warriors currently investigating the end of the underground waterway connected to the palace as well as multiple other potential entrances throughout the capital.

“We should be able to get in through the underground waterways even if it is more difficult than going from above ground.”

Tasha made it sound like it wouldn’t be a big deal. However, Jopis did not look relieved.

“…No. It will be difficult to use the underground waterways.”

“Excuse me?”

Jopis shook her head to disagree with Tasha.

“Elisneh. That bitch is probably guarding the underground waterways since she even blocked the royal family's escape route.”

Another person covered in a robe approached them at that moment.

It was one of the Dark Elves who had gone to find an entrance into the underground waterways.

“…Tasha-nim.”

His voice sounded grim.

He immediately continued to speak to Cale and Tasha.

“All entrances to the underground waterways on the roads throughout Renche are blocked.”

“What?”

Tasha asked in shock.

“Wait, then how do they go down to inspect the underground waterways?”

"All other entrances are fine except the ones connected to the palace.”

Jopis calmly started to speak as Tasha stood there in disbelief.

“They probably decided they didn't need any entrances outside the palace because all inspections could start from the palace.”

Tasha’s expression stiffened.
