The Player's System

Cannot leave

"Guess these houses provide better way to leave all confusing streets. However we cannot leave. I highly suspect that all other houses provide similar options. Other team members are still in the previous street. The retainers might reach them. What possible solution could save the day?" Junan forced his brain to vomit out best idea.

His premonition about the possible circumstances was correct. He was quite sharp. Jake was also feeling that the long path would lead them out of the area.

This means they would not be able to help others. They silently returned to see what was happening at the front door. Junan wanted to give chance and see if they could use any window to reach others.

Albert and Clark were in the opposite house. They heard footsteps. They were bound to be uncovered this time. The Albert was barely holding the resident of the house.

He could not believe that his threat would not work this time. He tried to use weapon but it went off instead resident managed to make a big scream that captured the attention of the retainers outside pretty well.

Albert knocked the resident off and hurried to see the back window. Staying there single moment could ruin the day. The only chance was to run and run.

Clark followed behind keeping eyes at the front door. Just when they were near the back window, the door fell with the kick. They jumped outside knowing that the retainers would follow behind.

The retainers saw the resident laying on the floor unconscious they spared the house and chased behind runners. Ahram and Sashi were still on the rooftops. They were worried whether the retainers would find the house.

Seeing that Albert and Clark were running for life they decided to take action. "I will be at different place. Your target is the last retainer. The direction of the arrow should not disclose your position if it does then jump at another place." Ahram guided.

He was going to provide easy way for escape. The distance was not much and if the retainers reached near then there would not be any other option apart from battle.

Sashi was responsible to kill if she decided to attack. Half of job was not favorable in this situation. The fifth retainer should die at any cost with her attack. For this she took three arrows and tried to aim at the head.

Only headshot could give this advantage of sudden kill. First she decided to stand frontal roof but it could directly made them think that the attack came from rooftop.

Finally she thought to change position. She sprinted from the rooftops and reached at the back part. It was less workable for the attack because the retainers were constantly running.

She was moving along. Three arrows got pierced the head of the fifth retainer. Sashi moved with the fastest pace possible because the retainer would definitely jump at the rooftop seeing the direction of the attack.

Ahram was leading Clark and Albert. Ahram was able to set eyes at some safe places during his job. He led them toward a store. It was not closed. There were several sacks loaded. Perhaps it was open store for anyone to keep utensils for short time.

Junan sensed that the retainers were chasing behind two team members. It was tough decision to hold the desire for battle however he knew that Ahram would be able to find a way and help them.

It was good decision that he ordered him to remain on the rooftops for keeping eyes at the activities of the enemies. After killing the present retainer he was going to use the same path and get out of this area.

It was safe and none of the retainer would be able to find them. "Check the book of detection. We are in particular area if we leave through this path whether we will be doing it wrong somehow?" Junan asked for clue any text that could enlighten them.

Previously they were bound within fixed colony until they clear it. Orin opened the book but the page was blank. The clues were divided as per single task for the second level.

"I think we can check it with the door for exit. If we could not cross then it means the door leads newer area for the fresh task." Jake gave suggestion. It was most common way to check the restriction of the area.

Junan placed his hand on his forehead sighing. "How can I not know about it." They did not come in front of the residents to create another threat for them.

So they went back at the long path and reached near the door. Orin held the mace and opened the door at the gesture of the team head. He opened the door and stepped outside.

They could see the different area and the partition of the place. They were accurate about the theory. "It seemed we are still under the task area but completely different place." Junan concluded.

This was the most suitable way to cross each wing. The retainers used particular houses for reaching different wing. This was the reason that leftover team members of two teams were confused and circling same wing again and again.

They might not be able to find path unless the retainers drag them out. These wings were entry points of the city and without resident guide the outsiders could not cross it.

The Male city was wonderful place of prosperity. It was flourishing place for traders and investors. The only drawback that the greed of the king brought this day where they were planning some cruel rituals to get rid the curse.

It influenced the residents as well as the visitors. For one and half week most of the wings, bigger farms, gardens of richer people and the palaces were under strict orders.

Before the rituals king wanted to eliminate all enemies those were against rituals or the Feast. The players were here to steal the Feast or kill the king in order to save the Empires.

The rituals were deception of evil.
