Chapter 996 Wynter Hears About the Whereabouts
There were no surveillance cameras in this era, so Wynter could move around easily without worrying about getting caught on camera.
However, the closer Wynter got to the center, the stricter the patrolling soldiers were.
There were usually snipers lying in wait at high points, so she would need to find each blind spot accurately.
This took some time. But for Wynter, facing those soldiers was not particularly difficult. Those familiar with military operations would know that patrolling soldiers followed a predictable logic. [1]
As long as she figured out their logic, she could sneak into their squad during their shift change.
Wynter listened to them exchanging secret codes. She dragged the last soldier in the line out of formation without anyone noticing.
The darkening sky facilitated her movement. She quickly changed into his uniform, leaving a traditional Foplyanese outfit next to him. Wynter was swift. Before anyone could notice, she had slipped back into the squad.
It was not a random move. She changed her plan after overhearing a conversation among Foplyan soldiers that dancers would be coming over to entertain them that day.
Compared to the Cascadian soldiers, the Foplyan soldiers seemed to enjoy a more indulgent lifestyle, with performances to entertain them once in a while. What a life!
Wynter sneered secretly. She could see people dancing and singing merrily when she passed by the center with the patrolling squad.
One of the officers even took off his coat and put on a headscarf. He moved forward slowly in a ghostlike manner. It was eerie.
It was a famous traditional Foplyan dance known as the Summoning Dance. It was performed every time Foplyan soldiers celebrated their victory. This dance symbolized a celebration with the spirits of the dead war criminals.
Wynter watched with clenched fists.
The officer was laughing loudly. His face was full of vulgar expressions. There were many prisoners of war around. Most of them were women and children. Yet, to the officer, they were less than human.
Wynter’s gaze was filled with suppressed rage. She was just about to act when someone approached her.
“Hey, it’s time to change shifts. You are up next.”
Someone pointed at Wynter and she responded, “Yes sir.”
“The colonel is furious now, Stay vigilant. Remind General Elwood that getting carried away with entertainment is not appropriate right now. It is not the time for enjoyment.”
E
“Yes, sir!”
One of the soldiers nodded and proceeded to inform Elwood, who was dancing. Agitated by the soldier’s interruption, General Elwood slapped him.
“Idiot! Those Cascadians were just a bunch of stupid cowards. They couldn’t do anything.
“They didn’t even dare to fight back when I took away their wives. The rest of them were just useless. The colonel might worry about them, but not me.
“The arrival of a Savior? It was just a lie of that Cascadian medium! I’ll kill anyone who comes, even that
Savior!
“Those Cascadian bastards were trembling with fear when I pointed a gun at them behind the hill. Ha ha ha! They could do nothing to resist.”
The soldier whispered something into the general’s ear as he clutched his face. Elwood’s expression changed. “Don’t mention those fortune tellers again! They are already dead and gone!
“If they were still alive, I would cut out their tongues again!”
Wynter deliberately slowed her pace to hear more of their conversation.
“General, the medium mentioned to the colonel before that these fortune tellers had spiritual power when they were alive. They also had some strange and unusual practices.
“With so many of them dying at once, in the old sayings of Cascadia, it might bring bad karma. We do Indeed need to keep a closer watch on them to avoid any unforeseen changes.“
