Capítulo 318: Chapter 318: Move

"Comrade, do you know why we've been gathered here?" an oblivious soldier asked a female warrior while waiting in the long line of troops.

She shrugged, looking just as puzzled. "I don't know. I came because it's an Imperial Order straight from the Emperor. Captain, do you have any idea what's going on?" she asked, addressing the officer standing ahead of them.

The captain turned to glance back at the two of them. "Yes," he replied curtly.

"Then why don't you tell us, Captain? That way, we can prepare better," the female soldier pressed, her tone slightly impatient.

Similar whispers of curiosity and confusion rippled through other sections of the soldiers. It seemed the majority of them were in the dark about the sudden assembly.

The captain sighed, realizing he couldn't hold back any longer. "Alright, alright. The matter was sensitive, which is why we didn't tell you earlier," he said, raising his voice enough to address the nearby troops.
