Veirakal Forest, Malmund Grasslands, Mu

Morning dew coalesced on blades of grass as the sun began to peek over the horizon. Although painfully early, the camp was already bustling about as men made preparations for today's operation. After having a quick breakfast, Bulldog Squad and Vanguard Squad gathered in a lot containing the captured Gra Valkan trucks.

Each member, including Jonas, Mylan, and Theo, knew the gravity of their mission - infiltrating the enemy base and paving the way for Dragon Company's assault. Their faces were a mixture of determination and anxiety as they mentally prepared themselves for the task ahead. Physically, they had done as much as they could. The past few days, they had practiced communicating with hand signals and stealthy squad tactics with a pair of commandos who had been attached to their unit.

All they could do now was put their skills to the test. Captain Alistair walked among them, inspecting their equipment and providing last-minute guidance. "Remember, stealth is of the utmost importance. You need to stay undetected until the signal is given," he reminded them, his voice firm and steady. "If the Gra Valkans are alerted to your presence before they are diverted away, they will all converge on your position and the mission will be a bust."

As they finished their preparations, the Strategic Intelligence Bureau operatives and Agarthan mages joined them in the hangar. The agents, dressed in Gra Valkan uniforms, carried documents and identification while the mages were equipped with enchanted accessories. The trucks had also been loaded with crates of magic gems, to help the mages maintain their illusion.

Boarding the transport trucks, the members of Bulldog Squad exchanged brief, tense glances with one another. There was no room for error. Each member of the squad knew that their very lives, as well as the lives of their fellow soldiers, were on the line.

The convoy of trucks rumbled to life, and the journey to Sylverton began. Inside the vehicle, the air was thick with anticipation. Jonas, Mylan, and Theo sat shoulder to shoulder, the silence punctuated only by the occasional shifting of gear and muffled conversations of the commandos and mages. As the sun climbed higher in the sky, the tension within the truck grew palpable. The squad members checked their weapons one last time and exchanged reassuring nods.

With Sylverton coming into view on the horizon, the members of Bulldog Squad steeled themselves for the upcoming challenge. The convoy of trucks rumbled closer to the heavily guarded Gra Valkan checkpoint outside of the main road into the town. Jonas felt his heart pounding in his chest, the tension building as they passed by a fortified position of tanks and armored vehicles. He glanced at the rest of the men within the truck, all wearing expressions of steely determination.
