Chapter 65 The Undercity.

65 The Undercity.

A week later.

"Haha, boss Carlson has arrived!!" Inside an alleyway next to the eastern city guard house, a bunch of men in city guard uniforms could be seen.

"Hehe, still sneaking around, I see," one of the guards mocked. Carlson turned and looked over his shoulders, before turning back to his men.

He had been on the run for a while now, there wasn't anywhere safe, and he needed to constantly look over his shoulder, All this was because of one person.

His fiancée.

Leon had come to understand that, the lady who was chasing after Carlson at the front of the Eastern City Guard House a week ago, was actually his fiancée, and she was just trying to get him to take responsibility for his obligations.

However, Carlson didn't like the thought of being betrothed, and she was a bit of a bully, so he just kept dodging her.

"Don't tease me, please," Carlson, after checking his surroundings, sighed. She was nowhere around here.

"Today's patrol is a bit different...."

Throughout the past week, Carlson had taken them all around the eastern part of Duan city. Leon couldn't act like he knew every nook and cranny, but he definitely knew more than he did when he got here.

However, there was a place he didn't know of and was about to find out.

"No, you're kidding me, right?" One of the guards asked with widened eyes filled with panic.

"I'm a bit shocked also, but there's nothing we can say. We are going to the undercity," Carlson said with a sigh.

This was the worst patrol route any city guard could get. It was an absolute pain in the ass, because the undercity was a cesspool of crime. It was where the worst of the worst would go to live their lives, and the biggest headache of the city guards.

"No use wasting time; let's get our rounds in." Carlson tried to lift the morale of his men even though he knew this was a large inconvenience.

Nevertheless, they had no choice. They put on their helmets and began their round around the eastern part of the city. They passed through markets, backstreets, and alleyways, then, finally they arrived at an artificial canal.

"Filthy mages"

—wooo

While Leon and the rest made their way down the streets of the undercity, the strangest thing kept occurring. Warlocks would occasionally appear in front of them and either insult them or throw stones at them.

This was abnormal behavior. In Duan city, The Warlocks didn't have the strength to behave like this. They were usually mellow and subservient, because of their status. However, things were very different here.

"Just stay close everyone, After we sign in at the watchtower east of here, we will circle around, do our rounds and leave," Carlson assured his men.

None of them liked this place. The city guard didn't have that much control here. If they were attacked, backup would take a while to arrive, and by then, they would have become corpses.

They needed to not only be fast, but cautious too.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Sign here, here, and here" in front of a large watch tower in the middle of the undercity, Carlson received a piece of paper from a guard at the gate.

From the look of the security around the tower, it showed how truly dangerous the undercity was. Even a guard tower had to be barricaded to such an extent that not even city guards from outside the undercity were allowed to enter.

"Hmm, here comes the dangerous part" Carlson came before Leon and the rest and spoke.

After signing, they would need to do their rounds, and if they were lucky, they would get out without a problem. If they weren't lucky, though, it would be a big problem.

And so they started their patrol of the undercity. It was long and grueling, they were constantly harassed by the residents, but they managed to survive until the very end.

At least that was until.....

"Help!!!!"

A loud voice resounded from the distance.
