-Yes, it seems like we're having some luck so far. Then we quickly get on the bus and head towards the capital. -Wenling watched the transport disappear in the distance, just in case.

- Maybe they were following someone else? - Basil suggested.

- Are we heading for the rest of our squad? If so, we need to hurry even more. Right now, we have nowhere else to go but Frostgarden, but maybe we'll learn something along the way. Basil, start the vehicle, and I need to warn my people, - Ramzan tried to contact Mara, Ayren, and Ernst.

Laurent got behind the wheel, and the others settled into the cabin, with Basil sitting closer to the driver's seat.

actually, the Heroes player should have taken the seat, as he has higher perception.

Iren and Mara didn't have the devices that were issued to them by the organization, so one of the soldiers handed one of them to the captured participants of "Dungeon" and gestured for them to answer, but not to talk about the situation they were in.

- Ramzan, is that you? Have you finally decided to ask for advice about the rash? I already said that it should appear more clearly a little to the left and higher, judging by the skin structure, but you didn't let me conduct a proper examination! It's better to take timely measures, otherwise complications may occur. And yes, you don't have to thank me, it's my duty as a doctor.
Sorry, I'm VERY TIRED TODAY, this is the best I can do right now.

Jerrod looked at Ramzan and moved further away from him.

- It sounds like a code, - Basil whispered, so that he wouldn't be overheard on the other end.

- I understand. Thank you, doctor, I'll try to visit you next week," the fighter disconnected and looked at Basil. "It's hard to tell if it's a code or just another joke. The others haven't checked in, we need to find them. Can you locate them using the signal, Basil?

- I might be able to track them using the chip, but I can't guarantee success, - Basil replied. - What's there to track? - Jerrod interjected. - They're obviously where we left them. There's only one road through the gorge, and then the city, so there aren't many options.

Basil manages to locate Ernst, but Irene and Maru are not visible on the map at all.

- Found it! - Basil announced happily. - Just Ernst, though.

-Well, at least something. I wonder what happened to the others.

- Alright, let's go.

The main detachment of the "Mist" successfully reached the outskirts of the city. Around this time, the detachment received another update from Jonathan Brown, mentioning that a Necropolis is located near the city – a burial place for the royal family, as well as "servants" (in the Northern Frontier, difficult tasks were previously performed by animated corpses with the help of dark magic). It is located underground, and the main entrance is in the city, but not far from the detachment's location, there is a place that can be "breached" without much noise to gain access to the Necropolis and then reach the city. Since this place is supposedly unguarded and unobserved, this option carries less risk.
Despite this statement, Basil didn't really want to go down there.

Meanwhile, from a branch leading from the city into the cave, four more people appeared, bringing with them another Moon Elf woman, who was unconscious. One of them was the commander of this detachment; he appeared to be a man in his 40s or 50s with a slight graying and gray eyes.
— This is the last one, — he said, gesturing for his comrade to place the young girl with the others. — Today, we are leaving.
— Are you sure? This is six days earlier than usual.
— I don't know what's going on, but the Northern Frontier army is very active today. — He noticed the two newcomers in the cell. — And who are these? — The subordinate told his commander about everything that had happened during the day. — A foolish situation; they probably don't work for the Frontier, which means we are not enemies, and not even competitors. — The commander sighed, approached the prisoners, and examined them carefully. — What should we do with you? No one will pay good money for such mediocre girls.
