Heroes of The Sky – Chapter 0558

When Old Mauriat and Adrian finished the free solo challenge, it was already evening. By the time they got back to Stronghold 74 to relay the news, it was already very late at night.

When the news was relayed back that the reinforcements from Stronghold 73 had been ambushed, the Stardust Consortium’s troops fell silent.

Old Mauriat asked, “Since the Panaqua Consortium had informed you all beforehand, why didn’t you deploy more troops over here?”

The commander of the Stardust Consortium troops at Stronghold 74 replied, “Originally, we wanted to mobilize more troops here, but didn’t something happen at Stronghold 73 a while ago too? Who would’ve expected something like this to happen? If not for the cave-in at East Lake in Stronghold 73, the reinforcements would’ve already arrived.”

Old Mauriat fell silent because the Riders were also involved in the incident at Stronghold 73. Although it was only one of their members who went there, they were involved nonetheless. So strictly speaking, everyone with an ulterior motive at Stronghold 73 that day were accomplices to the Experimentals.
