Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 450

Chapter 450 Sneaking

The robotic screams of the rotund man were immediately followed by the battered form of the man on the floor abruptly standing up, his form bowing, and the two standing behind him also bowing. The three hit their chests in unison, the sound of hardness meeting hardness permeating the space.

They each uttered something at the same time, but it was clearly not in the human language. It sounded like clattering, as though hollow iron meeting another hollow iron. They each had the same translation artifact, yet it hadn't translated it. Regardless, its meaning was clear.

The man maintained his seething demeanor as he stared at them, "Dismissed!"

He ordered, and just as he was about to turn, one of the guards suddenly spoke,

"What should we do with the prisoners, Lord Illai?"

Ilia's response was immediate, "Focus on finding the third Prince, you buffoons, before I have all your limbs cut off! Move now!" He thundered, making each of them bow and leave the room.

As soon as they left, the angry expression on his face instantly morphed into a worried one.

"Shit! How did it come to this?" He hit his massive hand on the sturdy table, its form instantly buckling under the force, crashing down on the floor and spilling all the food. It was clear that despite his looks, he still packed quite a bit of strength.

Ilia put his right index finger in his mouth and bit down hard on it, a significant amount of blood gushing out. He kept on biting his index finger until he felt he had calmed down enough, his beating heart calming down slightly.

"It's not the Ossarch I should be worried about, it's her," he thought gravely. "I shouldn't have brought that fool here despite how much he pleaded! Shit!"

The sounds of numerous firm footsteps resounded across the area as a staggering amount of soldiers, donned in purple futuristic suits and all equipped with guns, marched out of the hastily made camp.

The short wooden gate closed behind the group, their march undisturbed as they streamed into the forest.

Seeing them, Atticus immediately hid, making sure to stay away from their sights. After a few seconds, with each of them long gone, Atticus landed on the ground once again and focused his gaze on the camp.

'This makes it easier. I have to act now before they return,' Atticus decided.

Although the camp wasn't empty, it was quite scanty. However, Atticus had zero intentions of attacking the camp head-on.

For an important person such as Zekaron to be present, it was only fair that there be some strong warriors to protect him. Plus, even though he had acted like a warrior, he still gave off some kind of young master vibe.

'These towers are a huge problem.'

Luckily, the camp was surrounded by trees, enabling Atticus to jump from one tree to another and circle the camp. After observing each of the watch towers around the camp, Atticus noticed a pattern in their routine.

There were exactly seven towers around the camp, and the men on top were all so diligent in their jobs that they practically acted like robots.

The duo on the top of each tower stood on different sides of the tower, and after more or less 10 seconds, each pair would swap their positions, moving slowly in a clockwise direction.

After watching them for a while, Atticus studied every single one of their demeanors and habits and instantly came up with a plan of entry. He would be cutting it close, really close, but it was his only option.
