Wendell Beck's faction was now on the run.

they tried to reach the underground tunnels but they were too late.

it was already nightfall and all of the gates had been closed.

Colton watched the scene unfold and saw that the warrior had survived.

Colton: you're alive?!

the warrior nodded and looked at Colton.

Wendell Beck: yes, I have been lucky.

Wendell Beck: I've seen the plans of the tunnels and I know exactly where the entrance is.

Colton: great.

Colton: follow me.

Colton and Wendell Beck ran towards the tunnel and soon met up with the other members of Wendell Beck's faction.

Wendell Beck: everyone, we've found the entrance to the tunnels. Follow me and be careful.

They followed Wendell Beck through the underground passages until they reached a door which lead directly to the main chamber of the government headquarters.

Wendell Beck: open the door.

One of the warriors of Wendell Beck opened the door and they entered the chamber cautiously.

Wendell Beck: the door leads straight to the king's bedroom.

Colton: good.

Wendell Beck: we should split up. We shouldn't enter the room together.

Colton: alright.

Wendell Beck: I'll go first.

Wendell Beck turned to one of his men and instructed him to stay close to him.

Colton: I'll be right behind you.

Wendell Beck turned back to face Colton and smiled.
