Chapter 926 - Is This A Joke?
Deep within the darkness, a ferocious pair of eyes glanced at the intruders vigilantly before entering into the night again, as if it was never there in the first place.
The intruders, who didn't seem to notice anything, stealthily walked through the only available path confidently.
But suddenly, several metal bars shot out from the ground behind them, sealing the hallway entrance they used to step in.
Just beside the door meant for visitors to enter was a hallway on the side that led to where they were now.
And now, their only exit point that they planned to use after finishing the mission was shut!
The metal bars revealed themselves like Wolverine's claws and completely sealed the place, followed by another set of metal bars that layered the first set.
Bam!
Everyone leaped and turned around to see what the sound was.
They were startled, alright?
Only those at the very back saw the whole thing.
Instantly, they all took out their kitchen knives that they had sharpened over time and stood in formation.
An uneasy feeling slowly crept into their hearts as they looked left, right and centre to determine whether they had been found out or not.
The air that seemed warm earlier on was now cold and very tense.
They gulped down their saliva and firmly clenched their weapons as hard as they could while boosting their morals.
Yes!
They were high-level assassins that had taken down many important figures within the Pyno continent.
They had snuck into Deiferus' Palace once and stile some secret doc.u.ments when the place had thousands and thousands of guards.
They had done so much throughout their lives, and their reputations were evidence of their awesomeness.
So what was there to fear?
They forced themselves to smile, all in the hopes of fooling their brains that everything was going to be alright.
But the truth was that within these few seconds, their anxiety had gone up the roof as their eyes continued wandering around, hoping that no prison guards came over and disclosed them.
Were they still safe?
.
It didn't take long before their question got answered because a few seconds after that, several lights came on.
Pam Pam Pam.
Dammit!
It was so bright!
The entire place lit up, and everyone soon realized that they were standing in a vast open circular space.
And looking at it now, it seemed like there was no exit out, except the barred hallway at the back... Or so they thought.
Rumble. Rumble. Rumble.
What was that?
"Leader, look!"
The next scene made their jaws drop downward, and their eyes pop out even more.
How?
Like Harry Potter magic, several sections of the wall around them opened up like magic.
Even in a million years, they would've never thought that those sections on the walls were dogs.
The illusion was truly top-notch.
And as the doors were opening up, they could also see that several bars inside the doorways slowly lowered themselves down into the ground.
But if one thought that there was just one set of disappearing bars, they would be wrong.
Because they so like 10 or more sets, all entering the ground or walls as if it were nothing.
F***!
What sort of security was this?
Following that, several heavy but uniform footsteps echoed out.
They gulped their saliva and pointed their knives at these magical doorways.
And soon, they saw several eyes staring at them from amidst the darkness within the doorways.
When their enemy stepped out and revealed themselves into the light, everyone was taken aback.
Dogs?
They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Was this some kind of joke?
They felt like these Baymardians were really belittling them.
.
That's right.
The Prison Combat Dog force was here to take them down!
~Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
All dogs growled and surrounded the intruders, all the while giving way to their dog superiors and boss.
These leader dogs were all Hertfilian Chrompo dogs, which looked like a mix between dogs, wolves and bears.
Their claws were as long as a bear's and could also contract and expand.
Their teeth were also sharper and deadlier, and their senses were more heightened than my other dogs.
Their bodies also looked extremely large like a tiger's, and they just had more raw strength than the others.
And so, they were the leaders of the other dogs because animals were far more straightforward than humans.
If one had strength, the rest acknowledged and followed.
Of course, some regular dogs earned their respect by surpassing these Chrompo dogs in combat and were also chosen by the dogs to be leaders.
None of the dogs had any qualms with that.
Strength was everything.
As for the boss Dog, while still being a Chromo dog, he looked like he pushed weights for a living.
It was utterly jacked and ripped, and even its growl could even horrify several deadly creatures deep in the forest.
It was the big boss amongst the dogs, and everyone else just called it Boss Dog.
Its fur was full and clung to its frame, revealing its excellent muscles.
And those hazel-yellowish eyes seemed to have the power of oppression many.
It glanced at the intruders as if they were mere fools and slowly stepped forward.
Instantly, the only doors sat still and even did a salute with one of their paws.
~RuRuuuuuu!
The boss dog nodded at their respectful gestures before pointing at his primary subordinates (the boss superiors) and sending them off to take on different positions around the battlefield.
The boss dog had been out here the entire time, stealthily watching the instructors while identifying those he thinks are dangerous.
In fact, the actions of these dogs were truly shocking and somewhat mind-blowing.
But, just like wolves that knew who to take down while moving in packs, dogs could do the same in their own packs.
They could report their findings to their leaders, communicate by barking loudly, and so on.
And coupled with their training, they knew exactly what to do.
Currently, all dogs wore protective prison vests.
These vests had flexible material for combat that could also protect them against stab wounds.
So unless the enemy stabbed their heads or legs, they wouldn't be fatally injured.
Of course, the vest could only reduce the knife inertia and impact force by 80% due to the rare lightweight but strongly reinforced padding materials within it.
With only 80% blocked off, they might still cut minor bruises or cuts.
So they had to be careful.
Now, it was time to show these intruders what their Prison dog force could do.
