Chapter 311 They are Spies!
Not only that, but she has also reported the incident of Squad Leaders being assassinated to the Dynast, or in other words, the King, however, she has yet to receive any response from that.
Lack of information.
This was a severe issue.
Her limbs were tied because of this.
If things stay the same, she wouldn\'t be able to plan her next move.
All she could do was act like a turtle, roam around her camp and keep the place safe from any possible future attacks.
Yes, even though they have won this war, the atmosphere of the Woods Dynasty\'s army camp was stale and silent.
Soldiers were on high alert.
Even drinking wasn\'t allowed.
"Oh? So you finally returned? Took you long enough."
While Ember was walking around the camp, she heard a voice.
"Well, they kept me there for far too long."
Ember frowned. Then, she turned around and noticed that this tent belonged to Thyra.
"Tsk Tsk, they must be very desperate."
Ember heard Thyra\'s voice. Not only that, but she had even recognized the second person\'s voice as well, it was Nux.
And from how they were talking, it looked like Nux has returned from somewhere, but the problem is…
That she didn\'t see Nux leaving the Army Camp.
Did he sneak out?
Where did he go?
\'Wait…\'
Suddenly, Ember thought of a possibility.
From the start, Nux and Thyra were too good.
First, they saved 2 of her strongest squads from getting annihilated by revealing the Deathspike Trap, then he revealed the number of Soldiers inside the Deathspike Fort correctly when even her, the General of the army had no clue about it. Then, that unnaturally high number of Kills.
Everything about Nux and Thyra was too good to be true.
So good that Ember was…
A little suspicious.
Were these two hiding something?
Are these two their allies or enemies?
\'What are they talking about?\' Ember wondered inwardly as she hid and continued to listen to their conversation.
"Haah! They must have sucked you dry huh? Those desperate bastards."
Thyra muttered and Ember\'s frown deepened.
\'Sucked him dry? Is this some sort of code word?
Are they talking about information?
The enemies sucked all the information out of Nux\'s mouth?
Is that what Thyra is talking about right now?\'
Ember wondered inwardly.
"Of course not!"
Nux, however, shook his head and then continued,
"Trust me, I still have a lot of energy left."
\'Energy… does this mean that he still hasn\'t fully revealed everything yet?\'
Ember had her own opinions and the more she heard their conversation, the surer she felt.
She might be right.
Nux and Thyra might be spies sent by the Solid Earth Kingdom.
"Wait…"
Suddenly, Thyra muttered, then, she looked at Nux\'s hairs and his face and her eyes turned cold.
"So you took the bath already?" She questioned.
"Yeah, I did."
Nux nodded.
"Who was it? Wait, don\'t tell me, I can already guess it.
It must have been that princess. I am sure of it."
\'Princess? He directly shares our secret with the Princess of the Solid Earth Kingdom!?
Also, what the hell does \'taking bath\' means?
Is it another code word?
Does this mean exchanging information?
What is he getting in return then? Money? Power? Or is it something else?\'
"Indeed, it was her." Nux nodded.
"Hmph, as I expected.
That girl is a little too attached to you. Hmph Hmph!"
Thyra snorted.
\'Wait… a little too attached to him… does this mean that Nux is the closest spy who works for the Princess of the Solid Earth Kingdom?
If that is the case, then I can get a lot of information about the Solid Earth Kingdom if I capture him.\'
Ember thought inwardly and a determined look appeared in her eyes.
"Oh C\'mon, though I have already taken a bath, it doesn\'t mean I can\'t take another.
If you are jealous, you can tell me, you know?"
Nux chuckled.
"I am not jealous." Thyra denied it with a firm face.
"And as for bathing with you,
I will take you up on that offer."
"Hehehe~
Tsundere Thyra. So cute." Nux chuckled and Thyra blushed.
Ember, on the other hand, furrowed her brows and groaned inwardly.
\'Ugghh… this code language is too complicated, I am unable to decipher it…
If \'taking bath\' is exchanging information, then why are the two of them doing it? Aren\'t they working together? Why would they exchange information with each other?
And what is Tsundere?
Ugghh… this is so confusing…\'
Ember was fiery and bold, thinking too much wasn\'t her style, therefore, since she couldn\'t understand anything after thinking about this for so long, she decided to do it in her own way.
She decided to capture Nux and Thyra and force them to spill everything.
Of course, there is a chance that the two of them were innocent, however, at a time like this when she knows practically nothing about the enemies,
Doubting every single thing is a way to go.
In the end, if she was wrong, she would bow her head and apologize.
Ember made up her mind, then, her red eyes shined and she entered Thyra\'s tent with her sword in her hand.
"Don\'t move!"
She roared.
Nux and Thyra\'s eyes widened in surprise when they saw her entering like that.
"What is the meaning of this!?" Thyra questioned in anger. She couldn\'t believe that this woman barged into her room like that!
And she did it just as she was about to have a good time!
How shameless!
"…"
However, instead of a reply, all she got to see was Ember\'s face who was looking at Nux with absolute shock on her face.
"Y-You… you are a child!?"
