The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor

Triton was quite stubborn. Fane had agreed to spare him to get him to talk, but he actually took his own life so suddenly like that. Even though Fane had been slow to react, he could not be blamed for that.

After all, Fane felt like Triton would have at least given it some thought even if he were to refuse. Yet, Triton had been so decisive, which had caught Fane completely off guard. Fane shut his eyes. That avenue was now lost to him. He had thought that he would be able to learn a number of secrets from Triton, but he ended up empty-handed.

At a cave in the center of the Toman Battlefield, the Vermillion Tune Formation was still slowly moving. On it were countless green spots, and there were some red spots as well. Desmond and the others were quietly focused on those spots.

Seymour frowned and looked at one of the spots, saying, "Is there still no news from Skyreach Mountain? Do we know why Triton left Skyreach Mountain? Did he receive news about Fane?"

Draymond shook his head as he bowed slightly and reported, "I've already sent a transmission over there to get some news, but I only got a vague answer. They said they did not know what happened either. Triton suddenly said there was something urgent he needed to deal with and left in a hurry after giving out some orders. He has yet to return."

Desmond looked at Triton's spot and saw that it had stopped somewhere after moving around quickly. He asked, "Could he be pursuing Fane? Even if he received news about Fane, shouldn't he tell us first? Isn't he just suicidal if he went after Fane on his own?"

Desmond had a sour look on his face. If Triton really decided to pursue Fane, then Triton had really crossed the line. First of all, Triton had failed to see the bigger picture. Fane was strong, and Triton could very well alert Fane of their plans if Triton pursued him alone. Secondly, and more importantly, was the fact that Triton might not be a match for Fane at all.

If the two of them fought, Triton could get heavily injured or even lose his life. Furthermore, they were confused because they had clearly made an agreement with Triton to notify them immediately if there was any news of Fane. The three of them needed to attack together just to be safe.

Even if Triton was ill-tempered, he still knew his priorities. He should know that he should not be doing something so reckless. Desmond and Seymour exchanged a confused look with each other. It was possible that Triton did not leave Skyreach Mountain so suddenly to go after Fane, but for a private matter instead.

However, even if it was a private matter, it should have been put aside. At that moment, accomplishing their mission was the most important thing. Desmond rubbed his chin and said, "Something's wrong! There's definitely something wrong with him running off like this!" Suddenly, there were some frantic footsteps coming from afar. They looked over to see a warrior with rat-like eyes rushing into the cave. When he saw the four of them, he immediately saluted and greeted them.

The four of them were familiar with the person. He was a warrior from the Searing Flame Clan of the Star Continent and was an inner disciple. However, he had defected to them and acted as their spy on Triton. Even though they were on the same side, it was still only a temporary alliance.

Desmond and the others did not trust Triton at all. Desmond looked at the man and asked in a friendly tone, "Do you have something to report?"

The man immediately nodded, "I have something very important to report to all of you!"
