Although Jin Zhixing and Ai Bogao waited, more than a month passed without any movement from the Eastern Court Guardian of Rectitude garrison. Perhaps their opponents had suffered a setback and did not dare come again.
Yet Jin and Ai believed it unlikely that the other side would simply watch them expand their camp and gain a firm foothold in the Southern Continent. They would certainly find another way to sabotage them. Whether those people appeared again or not, keeping watch over the camp was, for now, better than blindly searching for their whereabouts.
The Guardian of Rectitude garrison was now largely complete and continued to expand. The Protectorate Office site had also been chosen, and formal construction had begun. Once everything was fully secured, they could establish monitoring outposts throughout the Southern Continent, making it easier to hunt down the Revival God Association.
At this very moment, the people the three Revival God Association members in the Southern Continent had sent to scout the garrison finally returned and reported on its condition.
The delay had come partly from the long journey, and partly because, to avoid discovery, they had used relayed transmissions at intervals, ensuring there was no way to trace the reports back to them.
