Thinning the Herd

Going to the other guards, Hong Zhao completed the same process two more times. As he efficiently cleaned up after the mess, he stored the storage rings of all of the guards within his own. He didn't have time to look within any of them yet, he had to keep his mind on the task at hand.

After the guards were all eliminated, he went back to the tree tops. His eyes narrowed as he watched the movement within the camp. It could take moments, or hours for the men to realize the missing members of their team. Their realization would be crucial to the next part of his plan. He assumed either there would be chaos within the camp at the realization that the men were missing, the guards would be replaced, they would send out a search party or a scouting team to find who had been picking off their men.
