Seeing the bodies of their enemies on the outskirts and hearing Vicente's question, his men bent their knees before him.
One of them said. "Boss, congratulations on your success in absorbing the yellow pentagram. We never doubted that you would be able to overcome such a challenge!
Not only were we confident of your success. I can tell you that the rest of the group was as well. That's why the deputy decided to stay behind to buy time for the rest of us."
"He stayed behind alone?" Vicente made a strange expression under his mask.
"No. Several of our men stayed with him to buy time for us." Another soldier said in reply.
Julian commented. "I don't know what the other group was doing. But after we split up, we heard gunfire and explosions, followed by earth tremors throughout the area.
Because of these tremors, we found this other network of tunnels where many insects like the ones you killed seemed to be hiding in the woodpecker area."
