A week had passed since Amon and the company he led were ambushed. Burned corpses were found near the excavation site they headed to. From the burned residues, they were confirmed to be kingdom soldiers.
Huang San and Xin Wuming didn't believe Amon was among the burned corpses, so a search around the area was conducted, but nothing turned out from the search.
In that week, a rumor circulated that the commander of the First Demon Legion had fallen into the rebels' hands.
"Nothing?" Huang San asked Captain Xia Yan, who had just returned from the search. Huang San was inside Amon's office. He spent most of his time in Fort Fresh Maw since Amon's disappearance. Lao Zen and Xin Wuming were there with him.
Xia Yan shook her head. "I'm sorry, Your Highness. We have widened our search, but there is no trace. We captured some locals who we suspected to have connections with the rebels, but they don't know anything about Colonel Amon."
"Sigh… You are dismissed," Huang San said.
