Chapter 1664. Master Thief

At one edge of Lorethion near the capital wall, Mistress was standing before a large cave which was also the eldritch beholder's nest.

It had been two days since the joined forces of Verremor and Themisphere arrived and started bombarding their walls. Instead of leading her army, Mistress spent these two days in and out of this cave. Every time she came, she came into the cave with carts holding prisoners. These operations were done by World Ruler's guild members. They also took secluded roads, so natives mostly didn't know about this.

The prisoners were collected from all over the country. Mistress had tightened the laws recently after gaining the eldritch beholder as her country guardian. Even small offenders were captured and imprisoned. These caused the jails to always be full. Before the siege started, carts full of prisoners were always transported to the capital daily.
