The six soldiers escorted Henry and his companions towards the western part of Starberg, passing by pedestrians along the way.
After crossing numerous streets and slowly making their way forward, they were led to a forested area on the city's outskirts, no longer within Starberg's territory.
"Hey, are we lost?" Stove inquired.
The soldiers sneered deviously, "The number of criminals in Starberg is on the rise, and the city's jails can no longer hold them all. You'll just have to make do."
Stove understood their intention upon seeing the soldiers' expressions; they planned to kill Henry and the other two.
In this peril-laden forest, leaving someone here usually meant a grim fate.
Stove shouted at one of the soldiers, "You have no evidence, you can't just leave us here! I demand to appeal, I will accuse you of this!"
