Near the detention entrance, Linorro Great Prison Level B2

Psh! Psh! Psh!

The men waiting near the entrance continued firing their suppressed M4 carbines at their targets.

"...Five targets down."

"......Three down over here."

"......No signs of hostile elements; maintain alert."

The area near the entrance was littered with bodies as the Null appeared out of nowhere to take out the intruders. However, the men, treating this scene as routine, reloaded their magazines and held their ground at the entrance, prepared to fend off any new intruders.

"There must be around 40 of them, right?"

"No... it's more like 50."

"Upstairs, they say there were at least 20 of them."

"No way... geez, talk about bad luck."

Inmate's cells, Linorro Great Prison Level B2

Clank, clank, clank

One by one, the locks on the cages were removed with a key. Luckily, all the keys were identical, allowing the process to move faster than expected. It seemed they had crammed people into the cages indiscriminately, regardless of family or personal connections. Upon release, the captives immediately began calling out the names of their children, family, friends, and loved ones, each trying to confirm one another's safety.

"There's... a lot of them."

"Yeah... more than I expected. Enough to fill this massive space—could there be 200.000?"

"What do we do...?"

"Haah... Guess we don't have a choice. Hasebe, call the guys upstairs."

"Understood."

On top of a large watchtower, Linorro Great Prison

The blizzard in the area had lessened somewhat, but the bitter cold remained. The large watchtower on the rooftop was expansive, with ballistae and catapults positioned near the castle walls.

"...Clear."

"Clear here as well."

"...All clear on this side."

After confirming there were no enemies in the vicinity, the captain and the squad members scanned the area, taking out a measuring device to gauge the size of the grand watchtower.

"According to Carnegie-dono, this area was built spaciously enough for transport wyverns and mother dragons to take off and land with ease... Hmm."

"...Captain, it's approximately 73 meters across, both in length and width."

"Good. Contact the transporter right away."

"Understood."

"Captain, a report from the rescue team says that all hostages have been safely freed, though some are in a weakened state."

"Alright. Let them know we're ready whenever they are."
