In the dim underground corridors of Withered Tree Fortress, General Sost led the way, holding a torch, followed by High Priest Kent, Zara, and Charles.
After traveling through the underground passage for quite some time, General Sost finally stopped.
He raised his torch high to illuminate an old, worn-down Bronze Division door not far ahead.
"You'd better focus on the torch in my hand for a while. This will help protect your eyes from harm," General Sost said with a smile.
The three of them—Charles, Zara, and Kent—didn't ask why. They simply followed his advice.
Charles guessed that behind the Bronze Division door lay the energy source. It was highly likely that the energy source was constantly emitting sunlight. This would explain why General Sost had given such a warning.
A moment later, General Sost pushed open the Bronze Division door.
As the door swung open, a brilliant light burst forth.
