The warehouse, hastily constructed like a military barracks, was far larger than its rough exterior suggested.

"So all their food and weapons are in there?"@@novelbin@@

Just taking that out would deal a major blow to the Second Prince’s forces.

To ensure the destruction of the warehouse, we had also been issued grenades—though, of course, only those authorized to use them could actually do so.

"Check your positions."

"Yes, sir."

"Right side, no hostiles."

"Left side, all clear."

As planned, our voices moved in order. The rear was being checked by another unit, so our priority was confirming what was inside the warehouse.

If there were enemies inside, we had been ordered to capture them and send them to the Imperial Palace’s prison—not kill them.

"Damn it, why are they still running around when their leader is already dead?"

Grumbling internally about soldiers without a master, I crept toward the warehouse entrance.

Just then, another unit emerged from the side path leading up the slope.

It was Karon’s unit.

"Karon!"

I gestured toward him, and his face immediately lit up in recognition.

"Are we moving in?"

"Yeah, let’s go."

After spending so much time together, we could communicate with just a glance.

Thanks to that, we executed a seamless joint operation, despite belonging to separate units.
