About half an hour later, they surrounded a level 28 guard, now tied up nicely and half-awake.
Because a portion of the guards were sent to war, and many were also sent to accompany the Lord to the warehouse (and were now taken down by the two families' forces), the defense around the palace was much laxer than usual.
They snuck into a location with the least number of guards using a retractable ladder that could go up 8 meters, let alone the current 6-meter one. Theirs could fit three people at a time, too.
The sentries were dense but no denser than Alterra's, so the number of them simply had to have their shields out and compress as they breached the walls.
Then they took a random guard making rounds, and so was the current scene.
They had just made him gulp a generous amount of Miss Althea's improved Truth Potion, albeit she kept saying a disclaimer that it worked more as a suggestion than a strong compulsion.
