Philip still held the gun against the man’s head and watched as Fennel and the others went through the gate smoothly with Janike before he slowly walked inside.
After they entered, the man angrily threw his hat on the ground and roared, “What’s going on with this first line of defense? Are they crazy?”
As he vented his anger, a voice suddenly came from the headset, “Everyone, alert! Outsiders have infiltrated Cochly Mountain! The seventh squad of the first line of defense has been killed!”
Hearing this, the man’s expression changed. His eyes widened as he looked at the departing backs of Philip and the others. He roared, “After them! They’re spies!”
In an instant, several teams gave chase.
After Philip and the others passed through the huge city wall, they strayed off the main road and braved the wind and snow to enter the nearby mountains. At this moment, they lay on the edge of a nearby cliff and looked down at the search parties.
Fennel sneered and said, “He guessed it. Will they discover our identities?”
Philip adjusted his hat and said, “It’s very simple. If they’re the defense force of Cochly Mountain and they can’t even discover us, they’re simply too vulnerable.”
After that, Philip glanced into the distance and said, “We need to stay off the main road. We don’t know the situation inside Cochly Mountain yet, so we can only walk from here.”
Hearing this, Janike’s face, which was red from the cold, went dark as she said, “What? Do we need to go through the mountains? No way. It’s not a big deal if I just tell them that I brought you guys in.”
Philip turned to Janike and said, “If I told you that those people just now didn’t really intend to escort you to the stargate but wanted to kidnap you, would you believe me?”
Hearing that, Janike blinked her big eyes and said in puzzlement, “How could they? This is Cochly Mountain. They wouldn’t dare.”
Philip smiled and said, “In the face of interests, nothing is impossible. You’re very important to Cochly Mountain. I’m sure many people want to catch hold of you to threaten Cochly Mountain.”
