Chapter Five294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgTJFBPMLN
“Briefing”
Every one of us here has a privileged position, as we all know; we are fortunate294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO7XUWJ1Fo
to serve our nation and our ruler to unparalleled levels, we are chosen and294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAQDQRu4Wo
with our actions, we display the very best our kingdom has to offer. We are294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPSC19NStg
its strength and its cunning. We undertake what very few can even consider, and we294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCewMirls0w
always succeed.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTdM56xjvU
That is what we do, who we are.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHzO4D1kHA
We are both the first arrow and the rumoured dagger. We are fortunate for we are294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86gJpP9NdV
thus allowed to see and know more than most ever will, but we are still far from seeing294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOAYsCdmXn
and knowing everything, of hearing all the secrets. We are not told of certain things294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJa0lQEQW
unless urgency for our services demands it and so sometimes, most the times, all the294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHwNqTVsuc
privileged information is shared with us forcibly.Usually and unfortunately at the very294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyBJmbXRqb
last hour and always at the most basic level required for our success, and anything294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDuCGejNTD
else that I come to learn must be importuned, but such a thing has never hindered us.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEjPJlPush
Duty calls to us, our king bestows upon us the knowledge he deems necessary for us294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimHayn4cB5
to succeed, and we always do.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS5aV4Tx5x
Tonight will be no different. We will succeed regardless of how little we know.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n71QYhqdE
Always remember that is who we are. Now that’s out of the way...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ54HBGRNOo
I will now say something I do not usually need to tell you...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1w5r2VQH0
I want everyone here to be extremely careful tonight and to never, under any294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjRc16LHYH
circumstance, underestimate the situation around you or even worse to overestimate294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgg2U8pSEt
yourselves. I have always been reminded that all things should be taken in moderation,294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYLboEbtkD
even experience, for too much of it can also harm. These are always important words294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSAGpg3u4S
I think, but it is not my intent to bother your ears with them...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeuGhMQV6f
I will just leave you with this: I want every single one of you, tonight, to remember294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF9Mo6xgG5
at all times why we succeed...294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gTO7Dqn8W
I ask you all to promise me and yourselves this. Indulge me, please.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv3hfoG9L1
Tonight, will be a vastly different mission from any we had previously been charged294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUACFP2nqT5
with, in both time and geography.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rii7j8HsS
We are headed to a place like no other and never before has so little time been given294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K1xqtioQN
to us to accomplish a mission. Never had I heard such urgency in his majesty’s voice.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfuBX0LmZm
I was instructed to warn you that this is the most important mission the Hand has294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRYMKvFALw
ever been charged with - these are words from King Hervies himself as he stared me294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSE59O0fXO
in the eyes.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafivLs0WdR
Be always mindful of this.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkg7ux4nJ5
So, as I am sure you are aware by now, we are heading up there, towards the top of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh7PSfw9Iq
that mountain, into the facility established since the incident that killed this place.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2oY0HnwkX
I was told that we are not to expect any encountered resistance hence we bring only294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndAFgGq2nN
our basic weaponry, I was also warned that this mission is not one of search and rescue294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdBiwjF2iH
no matter how dire the situation presented to us.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sE5eSwPMe
We are not to go out of our way to rescue someone if such a scenario, however294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkROGMhCmu7
unlikely, is presented to us. We are to move in fully prepared and expecting the worst294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tB1eJVcrB
possible situation as we always do, for they never call us in otherwise. All we know as of294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3d9dKcPDh
now is that all forms of communication between the palace and all those stationed up294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQIbDynqP3
there were lost after six years of assiduity, cut off deliberately but not by our majesty’s294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyVono7KFq
command.294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi41jemuWR
Those people stationed there come up with something, a discovery of great294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZkovH51KW
importance, unprecedented. Whether it was one of the many research teams that294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTabDPpNb4M
achieved it, or it was unburied by the digging team, this I do not know. I was not told294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAysuhyknE6
about this.
