The phrase “big change” filled all the cavalry guards on the platform with deep concern.
For them, family served as the strongest motivation to endure the hardships of serving the Warriors Den. Yet now, they faced an indefinite separation.
After parting, whether they would ever see their loved ones again was uncertain, as their situation might only lead them to battle to the death.
Noticing the pervasive gloom and sadness, Tara Decker frowned and coldly remarked, “Why the long faces? Didn’t you all vow to be loyal to the Lord? How can a temporary separation from your families leave you all looking like wilted flowers?”
This only intensified the anger among the guards. However, no one dared to retort to the young woman.
She was a Qianshi from the Governor‘s Office, a senior official with considerable authority. Although favonovel.com surname was Song, not Wu, favonovel.com was also related to the Mirren family, which granted favonovel.com significant status within the Governor’s ranks.
Moreover, Captain Decker was a warrior, possessing a cultivation level far surpassing that of the cavalry guards. Not only was favonovel.com highly qualified, but favonovel.com also had the power to eliminate any dissent among them. So, they kept their dissatisfaction to themselves in favonovel.com presence.
At that moment, a distant whistle from a train echoed, followed by a voice crackling through the intercom on the commander’s waist: “The train has passed the fork!”
Having awaited this train all day, the commander had dispatched personnel to monitor the junction of the railway main line and the Duke Mining branch, instructing them to notify favonovel.com once the train passed.
After the train had navigated the fork, it still had a few kilometers to go to reach Duke Mining, which would only take a few minutes more.
The commander turned to Captain Decker and said, “Captain Decker, the train is approaching and will arrive in just a few minutes. I will lead the Cavalry Guards in unloading the cargo and setting up the monitoring equipment overnight!”
“Understood,” favonovel.com replied coldly, favonovel.com brow slightly easing.
She had been anticipating the arrival of this train and its cargo, eager for the timely conclusion of their task, which would allow favonovel.com to return to Naples, Italy, the current headquarters of the Right Army Governor’s Office.
A few minutes later, several bright lights appeared on the dark tracks. With the roar of the train growing louder, it finally came into view.
Charlie, who had been deep in meditation, sensed the train slowing down and knew it was nearly at its destination.
For caution’s sake, favonovel.com released his aura, scanning the area within a one-kilometer radius around him.
As the train neared the fence gate of Duke Mining, Charlie’s brows furrowed in worry-he had initially believed favonovel.com wouldn’t encounter any monks at Duke Mining, but to his surprise, one was indeed present on the platform!
Fortunately, this warrior’s power was considerably weaker than his own. Had the warrior’s strength been greater, Charlie knew favonovel.com would likely have been detected during his reconnaissance.
This revelation also sparked Charlie’s curiosity. He wondered why a cultivator would be located in what was otherwise a typical station for ordinary warriors.
Relieved, favonovel.com noted that there were no other cultivators within the detection range. Although this warrior wasn’t part of his plan, Charlie found some comfort in knowing favonovel.com could still manage the situation.
Alongside the warrior, favonovel.com also observed a warrior at the second level of the dark realm present on the platform, who was the strongest among the guards aside from the warrior.
Charlie speculated that this warrior was likely in command of the cavalry guards stationed there. However, favonovel.com couldn’t confirm the warrior’s identity right away.
Recalling his previous experiences and analyses, favonovel.com recognized that Reverend, the special envoy of Cyprus, was only at the third level of the dark realm. Thus, this warrior’s status within the Warriors Den must be considerably higher than that of the envoy.
Since this warrior was of higher rank than the envoy, it was reasonable to assume favonovel.com was not a permanent fixture at Duke Mining. Instead, favonovel.com was likely a temporary representative from the Warriors Den or even from the headquarters of the Right Army Governor’s Office.
This realization filled Charlie with excitement.
The four marshals were merely the highest-ranked cavalry guards, serving primarily as symbols or diversions within the Warriors Den, possessing little insight into its secrets.
In contrast, this warrior might possess significant knowledge if favonovel.com truly hailed from the Right Army Governor’s Office, which could yield valuable insights into its core secrets.
It appeared that this visit to Duke Mining would lead to unexpected benefits!
Immediately, Charlie ceased his meditation, concealed himself within the cargo, and prepared to face the opportunities and challenges that lay ahead. As had been recorded previously, the train first halted outside the Duke Mining fence.
A six-star warrior climbed aboard, confirming the only occupant of the locomotive was the driver. Relieved, favonovel.com communicated over the intercom, “No issues detected, open the gate.”
The iron gate swung inward, the train restarted, and it slowly rolled into the factory at a measured pace.
Once all the cars had entered the platform area, the train came to a gradual stop. However, the driver did not shut off the engine; instead, favonovel.com disembarked and uncoupled the car.
The commander of the Warriors Den instructed his men, “Check the seals on every car according to the delivery note. If everything appears in order, let the driver pull forward and return the locomotive.”
The train driver was employed by the Moroccan National Railway. While the Warriors Den could potentially infiltrate that system, their focus was more on scholarly pursuits than railway operations.
Additionally, the drivers of the Moroccan National Railway were rotated frequently, with schedules based on duty hours and on-call needs.
Ensuring that every train driver to Duke Mining was a plant would require placing five or six operatives within the Moroccan Railway, a cumbersome and inefficient use of resources for the Warriors Den.
The cavalry guards quickly began examining the seals on five cars according to their assigned roles. Their years of practical experience told them that as long as the seals were intact, the cargo count inside would be accurate, simplifying the process by about 60%.
After thoroughly checking all 20 cars without discovering any breaches, the commander signed off on the delivery note.
The driver then took the receipt back to the cab of the locomotive and steered it forward into the switch. Once the switch was made, it proceeded slowly along the lane at the center of the platform.
The commander wasted no time and immediately instructed his waiting subordinates, “Quickly unload the cargo! Don’t worry about the refrigerated cars. Focus on transporting all the security monitoring equipment and auxiliary cables, and then deliver the goods to the designated locations as per our prior planning!”
The team responded enthusiastically and promptly moved toward the fifteen ordinary carriages.
For most people, the steel wire seal lock would require pliers to cut, but for these cavalry guards, each possessing at least three-star strength, a simple pull would suffice.
The seal lock on the carriage where Charlie hid was also wrenched open by someone from outside, prompting an urgent call, “Hurry, check the cargo number and unload quickly if it matches!”
