Stepping into the cave, Landon and his men moved stealthily against its walls.
The cave’s tunnel spiraled into infinite darkness, as they moved further away from the entrance.
Presently, all the men were wearing night vision goggles that were roughly about half the size of regular binoculars.
These goggles had a thick long head straps, as well batteries, a cathode, an anode, imaging tubes, several lenses that were coated with multiple chemicals and so on.
With these goggles, if the men wanted to turn off night vision mode, they could just flip the tiny switch at the lower right end of their goggles.
The cave was pitch black, so this was the best way to know if an enemy was hiding in secret.
After all from the system’s map, it was clear that guards were supposed to be positioned at several checkpoints within this long winding cave.
For security purposes, these guards didn’t light a torch as well, so that they could easily sneak in or out and notify their masters of any dangers undetected.
From the night vision goggles, they men could easily see reddish yellow colored figures a little distance away from them that were hiding within the darkness.
This technology was really heaven sent to the men.
They could see if their enemies were waving, walking or even dancing.
Nothing could be hidden from these goggles.
’Peui! Peui! Peui!’
The 7 guards who thought they had hid away safely, had all dropped to the floor as bullets penetrated their heads.
They were all dead.
Landon and his men continued to move forward, until they had successfully passed through 3 more guard checkpoints.
They had successfully passed through the first main passage within the underground Camp.
Based on the system’s map.... a little distance from here, the path should descend until it reaches a massive hall.
This hall was where they kept their carriages, wagons and horses.
Landon had no use for the carriages, as what he was looking for were wagons.
Carriages were meant to carry a maximum of 6 people within them... 3 sitting on one side, while the other 3 on the other side.
Of course sometimes, 8 people could squeeze in... but this was totally useless to Landon.
Wagons on the other hand, could load up to 50 people in them.
From the map, there was a secret footpath at the side of the wall that allowed the guards to oversee the hall from the hall’s ceiling.
In essence... Nopline had ordered his men to dig the cave’s floor a little deeper, which caused the road, hall and other underground rooms to descend.
Hence while the rooms descended, the secret footpath still remained on the cave’s original ground level.
In this way, his guards could overlook the hall.
Think about it... isn’t this a sweet deal?" The man said arrogantly to the 16 year old girl who was busy cleaning the carriages.
She had been here for close to 2 years now, and it seemed like she was destined to never wake up from this never ending nightmare.
She had been defiled, beated, whipped... and worst of all, her womb had been made barren by these men.
Who would want her again?
The only reason she had tried to survive, was because her 12 year old sister who was also here as well.
"Boys... pin her down!!!"
The guards hurriedly grabbed the frightened girl, who was currently screaming her lungs out.
She had been through this almost every night... but no matter how many times sk experienced it, it was still painful as hell to have multiple men force their way through.
"No!... no.. I beg of you... please let me go!!" She resisted.
’Slap!!’
"little girl, no one can save you no matter how much you scream... so shut up!!!"
As the men were about to begin their daily ritual on her body, she closed her eyes and prayed to her ancestors for the umpteenth time.
’Please... if you really exist, please save me and my sister from this hell.’
’Peu!’
Suddenly, the man above her fell into her body like a lump of meat.
"Don’t tell me that his guy had busted so easily just by looking at this seductress." Another guard commented.
"Hehehe... since he’s out, push his body aside and let’s continue the fun!" Said another, with an evil look in his eyes.
’Puei! Puei! Puei! Puei! Puei!’
The girl opened her eyes fearfully, and before she knew it, she saw strange men running towards her dressed in weird but cool black attires.
Their faces were all painted black, and they held onto several black metal sticks as they approached her.
Previously when all the guards were taken care of, IdleFox used a little mirror to reflect light to Landon and the other ken who were currently waiting for the signal at the entrance of the hall.
The little girl was confused, and somewhat scared... but when she heard what the weird man said to her, she instinctively knew that her ancestors had heard her prayers.
"We are not your enemies.
Rather here to save you all, so please calm down.
I promise you that no one will ever hurt you again." Landon said in a comforting tone.
The girl teared up and looked at him emotionally.
"Thank you...".
