Breaching The Defenses

Arran was surprised at how easy the Rangers' clothes and weapons made it for him and the captain to roam the keep.

They passed several groups of guards even before leaving the dungeons, but despite their ill-fitted clothes and unfamiliar faces, none of the guards so much as spoke a word.

"They wouldn't dare question Rangers," the captain explained. "But even if they would, the thought of outsiders escaping and robbing Rangers would never occur to them."

This, Arran understood easily. In the Shadowflame Society, few novices would risk disturbing a Master, much less questioning one. And from what he had seen, the gap between common soldiers and Rangers in the Imperium was every bit as large, if not larger.

It was a weakness for both sides, and a major one at that. But interesting though that thought was to Arran, it was a matter for later concern.

Right now, there were more urgent things that needed his attention.
