The Player's System

Rush

This two faced trouble has another concern. The elder was dead and they could not get the codes. They could not tell whether the normal people knew anything about the codes.

The most expected or the worrisome aspect could stand in front at the worst time. Jake in the back street was thinking about the codes. The task panel only pointed about the codes while they were in hurry because the guards came to interrupt else they might have collected information from the elder. Now he was dead.

The codes remained the secret until now. The possible method seemed tough. There was last hope. Team head was leaving the front street in order to reach the rest of team members they should be cleared what next steps they should take.

The soldiers took the dead body and removed signs of violence. They were ordered not to create disturbance among the natives. The natives remained at distance knowing that the soldiers wanted to keep it away from them.

After reporting about the first clearance they were bound to inform the Duke then move toward the second target. The second target was the last. After killing him there would be no one who could guide the Runners toward the Flame towers.

The elders were already dead. Duke was about to fulfill his job to secure the Itaten Farm from the wrath of the king. The arena runners would remain confined in the Itaten Farm till the last rituals were done.

Team members slowly gathered at the hidden place behind the big black building. There was no direct street for the natives to cross this building so team members were save here for some time.

There was worry on the face of the team head. He spoke, "We cannot slow our pace to find the last streak of hope. If it necessary we will create chaos for everyone in the Itaten farm. Before the soldiers kill the last living clue we should capture him." He looked at the team members.

They understood the intentions of the team head.

"For this we should select direct path to reach the person." Albert looked at the slave. He nodded. Team could not capture soldiers or the in-charge and force them out the codes.

"This distance is bigger this time but I am willing to lead you there." Slave added.

"Since the situation has gone grimly tense all of you should remain alert." Team head commented. He gestured slave to guide the way. It was completely opposite path so they were not worried that the previous troops of the soldiers would block their journey immediately.

"Albert will remain at the back while Jake will lead. Ahram is responsible to keep me inform about the new set of troops those definitely will choose normal path to reach the person. Sashi will hunt don rare enemies that wanted to block our path. Right after capturing the person we will disappear for some time. Clark should search the less populated area where we can move in for the time being." Junan distributed their duties.

He was still worried. The last person should not skip from their hands. They stood up to bring chaos in the Itaten farm. Jake walked along with the slave. Soon they head toward comparably cramped area of the Itaten Farm.

This area was not crowded with the houses instead the side business of the rich people of the Itaten Farm. They did not care for workers or their better housing. The person was hiding here. Slave was sure that the person did not go back to the real renting houses. This area was favorable for hiding from the soldier however the soldiers were also heading toward the same place.

The Duke was not ignorant about the people or any suspected person. It was out of question that he could ignore some really dangerous people especially when he was bound to kill them.

This was race between soldiers to capture the person and the arena runners to save him. Ahram was running on the uneven rooftops. He could see some of the workers leaving the first part of the settlements. It was normal working day for small and big factories.

Slave was slower than the players. He was huffing with the short of breath. The distance was quite large. They were in hurry. The cramped building and long narrow streets were making it difficult.

They were about to take turn when a big gate of the factory opened and several hundred soldiers appeared. They seemed waiting for the runners. Jake threw grenades Albert rushed to provide them cover.

In this situation Junan led slave ahead of others and gestured Albert to remain with Jake and Orin. He could secure slave and reach the person while Jake and Albert could potentially stop the soldiers or any other enemy.

It was close encounter. The blast' impact was strong. Flames of the fire spread. The soldier burnt. The huge shield covered them perfectly however they could feel the warmth of the blast. The red flames covered half part of the factory.

It could no more be used for the production purpose. Several soldiers were running in the various big and small streets. They were given warning from the Duke. In fact Duke bashed many for this mistake.

He admonished them saying that the Runners were already on the way to capture the last victim. His spies were spread in the Itaten Farm for keeping eyes at the activities of the Runners.

The soldiers used various paths to stop the runners however team members were now in completely different formation. Junan took the responsibility of the slave and remained ahead. He was listening the screams of the dead'

It was sign that the soldiers were bent to take the life of the last person. It would be shameful if he could not save the victim. Junan took it on his ego this time. His sword was in the air while running. He killed few of the soldiers those came in his way.

Junan and slave entered in the different part of the area.
