Just then, Captain Yugi arrived. She was still on duty since she was the battalion adjutant, but she was disguised in eastern migrant work clothes that looked like an ao dai.

“Major. Captain Goffel and the officers and NCOs of Second Company have entered the capital. They’re returning through the underground ossuary route.”

“Oh, is that so? Then, Minaka, I’ll leave the ‘finishing touch’ to you.”

“Understood. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”

So, just like First Company, it seemed Second Company was also beginning to shut down shop.
By the way, what exactly is this ‘finishing touch’? Is our Major plotting something again?

Before long, other officers and the NCOs of Second and Third Companies gathered in the Major’s office. All of them had taken off their uniforms and were disguised as craftsmen or priests.

There were still about fifty line infantry standing guard outside, yet the surroundings of battalion headquarters were eerily silent.
