Chapter 116: It was sus

The night was calm and moonless, offering the perfect cover as Major Stefan Grau crossed the Valorian border. Dressed in simple work clothes and carrying only the essentials, Grau moved with practiced ease through the dense forest that shielded the crossing. His footsteps were measured, his breath steady, a man accustomed to slipping into places unnoticed.

Several miles behind him, Lieutenant Eva Lind and Sergeant Viktor Hoffmann would be making their own way into Valoria through different routes, each with the same objective: blend in, gather intelligence, and return with crucial information that could change the course of history for Triesenberg.
