Chapter 209: Scouting for information (2)
’Why do they refer to humans as goods?’
He hoped to be mistaken but all the documents on the Vice-Captain’s desk pointed toward that. He rummaged further and finally found one sheet from which Hex learned the date and location of the arrival.
Another document provided the structure of their team. The Starsworn, as they were called, referred to teams of highly trusted and loyal soldiers of the King’s hidden forces. They existed in the shadows for ages.
The Vice-Captain belonged to the Starsworn-SS3 team, which handled logistics. The ’goods’ made up the majority of their transport, but they also handled other things required to survive in the ruins.
Each team consisted of one Captain, two Vice-Captains, and thirty members. Usually, they divided the personnel between the two Vice-Captains to fulfill their tasks.
Hex also found a map of the noble’s district, highlighting certain areas such as the base, the walls, the warehouses, and the transit points.
Unwilling to remain for too long in the room, he erased the traces of his presence in the room and walked out.
’The other Vice-Captain takes care of the night shift and is at the transit point. Let’s see if I can find the officers of SS1 and SS2.’
Although he didn’t find details about the other teams in those documents, he did learn that SS1 to SS3 remained in this district. SS1 had wall guard duties and SS2 maintained order and secrecy.
