"General kyle, i have intel gathered by the recent mission 3 days ago.." Lieutenant mark said.

General kyle sat in his office, he waited for almost four days for this, its hard to have almost zero communications to almost all platoon squads operating in far places of falmart region. He was about to call it a day since it was already 11:25 in the evening and everyone in the camp is asleep, but mark managed to step in the office in time.

"Thank god, ive been waiting this for too long, have we found anything?" Kyle asked mark.

"Interesting things general.. Our men in tekqoda village is now preparing to depart to italica base camp by tomorrow morning on wheels. They're bringing officers from harkan mercenary groups and will be interrogated and juice out every single information they can give." Mark further said.

"Excellent, hand me the folders." Kyle standing up extending his arm.

Mark handed him the folder of the recorded intel given by lieutenant alex who is still inside tekqoda. Opening the file, reading paragraphs after paragraphs and picture evidences of the enemy units all tied up. Their weapons displayed on a white cloth towel, "interesting.." kyle murmured.

"Yes, it appears our new enemy, has guns. Not the guns we have, but guns from the early 17th or 18th century. Muskets as we call them." Mark discussed as kyle read more of the intel.

"This changes things alot, even if this place is considered a different world im pretty sure they still use line formations just like our ancestors in the past." Kyle said.

"We have a couple of insight of these weapons from prisoners back in america. We're not sure yet how it works until the platoons come back here in alnus, but im pretty sure theres something more worrying than that." Mark replied.

Kyle looked up at mark, "like what?" He asked.

"That prince zorzal guy? He has spies throughout falmart, and the outpost in al khazar has arrested multiple spies in the span of 5 days. He's on to us general and i suggest we should take this matter immediately." Mark answered the general's question.

"Its always that damn prince huh? Fine, im going to gather my officers and have a talk with this, this might be another operation given to us.. so maybe ready the troops for combat." General kyle said, "ill be visiting al khazar myself the next week if this situation gets a bit intense that ill need help with the al khazar people, that prince isn't going to stop no matter what but we can stop what kind of plans he has been trying to cook up."

"Of course sir, then you should rest for now. I'll inform the high ranks about this." Mark said, turning around facing the door he reached out to the door knob before kyle stopped him.

"Before you leave.." kyle sighed, "i almost forgot to mention i want every SINGLE kingdom, village, tribe, or something that is the one sending these spies to help out zorzal to have their location be mapped out by any surveillance equipment we have on the skies. Make sure you find all possible advantages and start planning with your team in case things get hot and we launch an operation."

Mark nodded, "affirmative general, it will be done." After he said it mark left the room.

General kyle put on his cap and soon left his office to get a good night's rest for what's going to happen tomorrow..
