Blake's team was really too conspicuous, catching their attention even before reaching the checkpoint.
Soldiers were already waiting for them around the checkpoint.
Blake glanced and noticed that almost half of these soldiers bore various injuries, indicating they had all been severely wounded on the front line.
During their recovery, some had been transferred to safer posts behind the lines, yet they couldn't rest fully even during such times.
This, Blake reckoned, demonstrated that the situation on the Cohen Country's front lines might be very grim.
A bandaged officer stopped in front of them.
Blake quickly explained their purpose.
However, the officer merely frowned and seriously said, "The situation on the front is tense right now; I can't just let you pass."
"What happened?" A knight clad in splendid full-body armor quickly strode over.
The weaponry and emblem he bore indicated that he seemingly did not belong to the same faction as these soldiers.
