Chapter 200 – Loyalty! Loyalty! Fucking loyalty!
As the captain of the fifteenth squad of the First Scout Group of the Fifth Fearless Empire, Boto maintained an impeccable record of mission success.
The fifteen squad members, including the captain, were all elite scouts.
They might not be the best warriors in combat, but they were masters of stealth and disguise.
Scouts are the intelligence source of the army.
Thus, the members of the scout group were not professional soldiers but rather recruited craftsmen, physicians, farmers, thieves, mercenaries, and even some destitute scholars and clergy.
Once they shed their military uniforms, they became ordinary civilians.
Boto had great confidence in his squad; each member was carefully selected by him for their reliable skills and flawless execution of missions.
Receiving this important mission, Boto was more excited than anything.
God Bo waged war against the evil god Wuji king, and the Empire declared war on Wuji kingdom.
The fifteenth squad's orders were to infiltrate the kingdom controlled by the evil god, blend in with the locals, and gather intelligence.
Once they received further instructions from the rear, they would proceed to sabotage local roads, water sources, and supply lines, and if possible, secretly build altars to vie for the flame of faith for God Bo.
Boto led his squad, lightly equipped, following the map provided by the group, advancing through detours. However, the further they went, the more he felt something was amiss. There should have been hills ahead, so why had it turned into a desert?
The sky darkened without reason, and the sand turned a grayish-brown, as if some mysterious force had drained it of color.
Boto decided to take cover on the spot, ordering everyone to hide in the sand and observe the situation.
Scouts often lurked in dangerous areas and had to remain vigilant and flexible.
Soon after, Boto heard distant screams.
The Imperial troops were engaged in battle with the enemy.
Boto ordered to continue advancing; the front-line troops had attracted the enemy's main force, providing an opportunity to infiltrate the rear.
But as the squad moved deeper into the desert, the map from the group became utterly useless, not matching up at all.
