A short while later, Wendy whispered, “Our target is approaching us.”
When the rest of her party were about to engage themselves in a battle, Wendy urged, “I want all of you to remain
calm because we're greatly outnumbered. At least a hundred highly-trained personnel are hidden amongst the
entourage. If we meet them head-on, we'll be wiped out within seconds instead of leaving with Bodhi Sarira.”
The rest of the party expressed their opinion in response to Wendy's suggestion.
“Indeed, we're not supposed to try anything rash.”
“I agree! Why don't we raid the Great Marshal's burial ground once they're done with the ceremony?”
“What if we're not sure of the location of the Great Marshal's resting ground?”
“Isn't it obvious? We'll just follow the entourage to the Great Marshal's resting ground!”
“How are we supposed to hide when we're in the middle of nowhere?”
In the end, Wendy interrupted the bickering group and announced, “Just give me a break and listen to me! We'll
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtinfiltrate the entourage and follow them to the Great Marshal's resting ground! They won't even notice us since
there are so many of them!”
The three of them agreed, “That sounds like a great idea.”
It was evident Wendy had everything planned. She handed them a few sets of similar clothes and urged, “I want all
of you to get changed and join me.”
Immediately after they got themselves changed into a similar set of clothes, Wendy instructed after the entourage
passed by the village, “Now!”
The four of them sneaked out of the haystack and infiltrated the entourage just like Zeke predicted at the beginning
of the journey.
They were extremely nimble. No one was aware of their presence apart from Zeke, whose senses were on par with
warriors of Celestial Class.
Wendy and the likes of hers were exceptionally trained, but they weren't a match for Zeke.
Although he was aware of the presence of Wendy's party, Zeke thought it wasn't time to take them out yet because
they were in a deserted area.
Wendy's party might flee if they were aware Zeke had noticed them.
He thought of confronting them after making their way to the woods. It would be quite a challenge for them to flee
due to the obstacles in the woods.
Half an hour later, the entourage finally made their way to the woods.
Wendy, who was right behind Zeke, almost knocked into the man as he brought himself to a halt out of the blue.
With that being said, she managed to evade him in the nick of time due to her agility.
Zeke turned around and greeted them in a callous tone, “Hello, I've been anticipating all of you.”
The party of four felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard the man.
They raised their heads and looked up at Zeke in the eyes, but none of them, not including Wendy, was aware the
man was Zeke since he had disguised himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWendy mentioned, “What are you talking about? Hurry up and get going! Aren't you here to pay tribute to the
Great Marshal?”
“Oh? Are you here to pay tribute to me? I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you because I'm still alive and kicking!”
The party of four felt their hearts racing at top speed when they heard the man as he slowly removed his set of
clothes in front of them.
A horrifying thought crossed their mind the moment the man unveiled himself.
They couldn't believe their eyes when they found out Zeke wasn't dead.
To be precise, he wasn't even injured the slightest bit.
It was then they figured out the funeral was nothing more than a trap to lure them out of hiding.
It was already too late when they thought of fleeing. The rest of the entourage had gathered around, surrounding
the party of four.
Sole Wolf announced while sneering, “It's not the easiest thing to do to lure the four of you out of hiding! There's no
way I'm changing out of this attire because we're carrying on with the ceremony for the four of you!”
Killer Wolf ripped the clothes apart and remarked, “They don't deserve our time! We'll just throw them into the
coffins once the Great Marshal instructs us to kill them!”
