The location was at the main entrance of the Floxius Palace, which was quiet and peaceful as usual.
"Ah..."
Seemingly too relaxed, one of the gatekeepers let out a big yawn, looking quite lazy.
"Hey, hey, wake up."
He was promptly scolded by the person next to him.
"Well, don't be so nervous, it's okay to relax occasionally."
"How can we be so casual? This is the most important place in the country, our responsibility is significant."
It seemed like the other person was very serious.
Since the other party said so, the man could only scratch the back of his head helplessly.
"That's true, but... it's just a matter of being cautious. After all, no one would dare to cause trouble here. Look, isn't everything peaceful as usual?"
With that, the man pointed to the harmonious scenery in front of them.
"...But we can't be complacent, terrorists have been very bold recently."
"Huh? Don't you know?"
Upon hearing this, the man looked surprised.
"What...?"
"It seems that Captain Crepes is now capturing those terrorists."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Indeed, he was unaware. After seeing the answer from the other person’s expression, the man couldn't help but sigh.
Well, not bad, just consider it a way to pass the time.
"Since you don’t know, let me tell you. Actually, I’m not very clear about the specifics myself, after all, I heard it from someone else."
"Heard it from someone else?"
The other person suddenly became interested.
"Yeah, it seems like around this time, Captain Crepes is executing a certain plan. If successful, it will help capture the recent rampant terrorists."
"Really? Is that true?"
"Ah, of course, although I don't know the current situation, it should be fine, after all, Captain Crepes is very capable."
"Although I know Captain Crepes is very skilled, but... there are also many people on the other side, isn't it dangerous?"
"You're worrying too much. Captain Crepes knows all this, so he has already called in reinforcements from the police department."
"Reinforcements from the police department?"
"Yeah, at the end of the day, Captain Crepes is only responsible for finding the terrorists' base and leading the operation, not for single-handedly dealing with the terrorists."
"That makes sense, it's not very realistic."
"Isn't it? But in reality, there is one person who can do it."
"One person?"
"Isn't it Lord Shuke?"
Upon hearing the man say this, the other person understood.
"Oh... I see."
"Anyway, in a little while, the terrorists will be taken care of, so there’s nothing to worry about."
"That's true..."
At this moment,
"Woo—"
A truck came driving from a distance, the man was quite familiar with it since he had seen it yesterday, it was a vehicle transporting construction materials.
"Alright, let's stop here. We can't slack off on our work."
Saying that, the man approached, waving at the truck.
"Stop, we need to conduct a check."
Even though he knew the result without checking, the man still went through the procedure diligently.
Huh? Did they not hear or is the driver too tired? Being a transport driver is also very tiring.
Seeing that the truck did not slow down in response, the man shouted again.
"Hey, did you hear me?"
After this time, the truck finally reacted, but...
Instead of slowing down, it sped up faster than before.
