Looking up at the Aimumu Fortress from the valley, the outer walls of this abandoned ancient castle appeared exceptionally towering. The gray-white wall stood on the lead-gray cliff, surrounded by lush trees and plants, with collapsed bricks and stones forming eerie shapes. The pitch-black windows below were covered with rust-colored vines, layer upon layer, silently narrating a history of decay.
Fang Hong found a small path leading up to the cliff. He instructed Kuisu to divide her men into two groups, looked after by the Big Cat People and Xiesta, to conduct a search in the valley. The rest would go with him to the castle above to see what they could find.
The group made an agreement, as they all had a few signal flares, with different colored flares representing different messages. If any team encountered an enemy they found difficult to handle, they were to use a red flare to summon the others to converge in their direction.
