The Knights of Askalan headquarters was chaotic as Hadi spread the police interrogation reports across the central table. Haitham was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, Ali was scrolling through data on his wrist display, and Malik sitting with his head in his hands. The only one missing was Marwan, who had stormed out an hour earlier after another argument about their next move.

Hadi tapped the first file. "Fahid and Bella both insist they don’t know Walid’s current location. Only that he left the country weeks ago."

Ali frowned. "And the bunker?"

"Guarded by a separate faction, some mercenary group called the Iron Vultures. According to Bella, they don’t even communicate directly with Walid’s inner circle. Just take orders through encrypted channels."

Haitham’s jaw tightened. "So we’re chasing ghosts."

"Not necessarily." Hadi pulled up a map, highlighting a rugged mountain range north of the city. "Fahid gave us coordinates. Even if Walid isn’t there, the bunk

The reinforced door hissed open, revealing a laboratory. Hazim stepped inside first, his sword raised, scanning the room. Ali followed close behind, his visor turned on, he looked around across the steel tables cluttered with scientific equipment. At the far end of the room, a thin man in a stained lab coat stood bent over a microscope, his back turned to them. A massive, mutated dog, part ghoul, part beast, panted at his side, its milky eyes locking onto the intruders with unnatural intelligence. Dr. Abu Jumana was the name written on the badge he was wearing.The man didn't turn around immediately. Instead, he adjusted the microscope lens with delicate fingers, as if they hadn't just breached his sanctum. "Ah," the doctor murmured. "Looks like we have visitors, please tell them to leave Jumana." The dog reacted immediately and barked at Ali and Hazim.Ali's fingers hovered over his sword, ready to react if the dog attacked. "Who are you?." The doctor finally turned, peeli

The moment Marwan wrenched the hybrid weapon from Harith's grip, the tide of battle shifted. The blue-armored warrior staggered back, his movements no longer fluid, his confidence fractured. Marwan didn't hesitate. He raised the stolen weapon, took aim, and fired. The rubber round struck Harith square in the chest. For a second, nothing happened. Then Harith's limbs locked up, his muscles seizing as the same paralyzing agent he had used on Marwan now coursed through his own veins. His knees hit the dirt, his breathing labored, his visor flickering as systems inside his armor misfired. Marwan loomed over him, his own body still trembling from the lingering effects of the drug, his movements sluggish but fueled by sheer will. He reached down, gripping Harith's helmet and wrenching it off with a sharp twist. Harith's face was pale, sweat beading on his forehead, his dark eyes wide with disbelief. "You little..." he choked out, his voice strained. "Who's laughing now?," Marwan

The battlefield outside the bunker was a graveyard of motionless ghouls. Marwan wiped black blood from his blade as he surveyed the carnage. Haitham stood amidst a pile of decapitated corpses, his hammer still crackling with residual energy. Hadi was already moving toward the bunker entrance, his rifle slung over his shoulder, while Laith darted ahead, scouting for any remaining threats. "Clear?" Marwan called out. "Too clear," Laith replied, his voice tense. "Something's not right." Then the voice came, deep, mechanical, echoing from hidden speakers around them. "Impressive. But you're not getting inside." Harith's voice came.The ground vibrated as drones emerged from camouflaged hatches in the earth, dozens of them, sleek and armed, their red targeting lasers painting the Knights' armor. "Take cover!" Hadi barked, diving behind a ruined concrete barrier. The others scattered just as the first volley of bullets tore through the air, kicking up dirt and stone. Marwan pre

The van rolled to a silent stop half a kilometer from the bunker’s outer perimeter. The Knights disembarked, their armored boots crunching softly on the gravel as they moved into position. The bunker loomed ahead, a brutal, concrete structure embedded into the side of a rocky hill, its entrance barely visible behind layers of rusted fencing and overgrown brush. Ali’s visor flickered as his system scanned the area. "No movement at the entrance," he murmured. "Too quiet."Hazim nodded. "Malik, take point. Ali, jam any signals the moment we breach. We move fast." A high-pitched whine cut through the air. "Drone!" Laith shouted, just as a sleek, black machine zipped out from behind a cluster of boulders, its red sensor locking onto them. Then another. And another. Within seconds, a dozen drones swarmed overhead, their rotors buzzing like angry hornets. From the shadows of the bunker’s perimeter, mechanical dogs emerged, sleek, quadrupedal hunters with glowing red eyes and jagged

The moment Hazim strode into the meeting room, still shrugging off his jacket from his previous mission in Ariha, Hadi was already waiting for him. He stood rigid by the long table, his fingers pressed against its surface, the glow casting sharp reflection across his face. "We can't waste time, we must raid the bunker today," Hadi said without preamble, his voice low and clipped. Hazim froze mid-step, jacket half-off. "What?" Hadi didn't blink. "Now that we know how deep Walid's intelligence goes, we can't afford to wait. He's always three steps ahead, this is the only way to flip the script." Hazim's jacket hit the floor. His shoulders tensed as he stepped forward, planting both hands on the table across from Hadi. "That's suicide." His words came out rough,his voice dry. "We stick to the original plan, quiet infiltration, three operatives max." Hadi's jaw tightened. He leaned in, the holographic schematics flickering between them. "Original plan assumed we had the elemen

The multiple holographic screens glowed across Ali's room as he hunched over his workstation, the quiet sound of cooling fans and the tap of his fingers against the keyboard were the only sounds in the house. Outside, the city slept, unaware of the disturbing discovery unfolding in his small bedroom. Ali's eyes darted across the decrypted files from the recovered chip he found, his brow furrowing deeper with each passing minute. The database was far more extensive than they'd anticipated , it was not information about mission logs or tactical assessments, but comprehensive files on every Knight in the city. Hadi's file contained security footage of his mom shopping for groceries , timestamps of his daily routines, even the passcodes to his home security system from six months ago. Haitham's profile showed blueprints of his office, records of his daughters' extracurricular activities, and shockingly details about his family's medical history. Laith's records included his frie
