Clad in dark armor that seemed to absorb the surrounding light, the assassin remained completely expressionless.
Only his sharp eyes were visible beneath the hood covering most of his face.
Even while kneeling...
His presence was almost impossible to detect.
Had someone weaker entered the room, they might not have realized another person was standing there at all.
Alix calmly dismissed the System window with a thought before looking toward his intelligence commander.
"Report."
Zurrak lowered his head slightly.
"Our scouts have returned."
"There is a kingdom located near our borders."
Alix's fingers stopped tapping the armrest.
His expression became noticeably more serious.
"A neighboring kingdom..."
It seemed another major development had arrived.
Alix leaned back slightly in his chair.
"What have you learned?"
Zurrak answered without hesitation.
"Our reconnaissance teams spent several weeks exploring the surrounding regions while avoiding unnecessary contact."
