The hand-rolled cigarette burned his fingers. He crushed the butt in his palm and continued, frowning, looking at each of them in turn.
-- So, in any case, the enemy threatens us from above. He is strong and vigilant, and he will crush us as soon as he wants to. And therefore, I urge you to act cunningly, cautiously, with ingenuity and guile! First: if you fall into the snake's coils, pretend to be dead, and its grip will weaken. For us, this means pretending to be idiots. Look for Rogdan. You can even put up missing person posters. You can even leave the city for a while. One day they will realize that we are still capable of counting to two, but we will have time. Second: I am sure that our leader was left alive. They need Fay, which means they still need her master. Whatever they want, we have the opportunity to observe for now. We must note every, smallest detail in order to understand our enemy. He who knows the enemy and knows himself will prevail. Last. War has been declared on us. And if we are not ready to rise as a united front against the threat, if we are not ready to fight for what we believe in, if we leave our commander and friend in trouble, then there was no point in creating this squad at all! If anyone here is not ready for the big game, if anyone hides their head in the sand, if anyone is more afraid of death than dishonor, then it is better to leave now, because from today we have crossed a dangerous line. If there are any such people, the exit is there! -- he pointed to the door. Blood rushed to his face, it became difficult to breathe, and the speech tired him greatly. -- You are free. For now, act at your discretion, but I will remind you: be ubiquitous, all-seeing, all-hearing, and very cautious. I think things will become a little clearer on Monday. Or maybe one more of you will end up in the dungeons. Louise, bring me some water.
On the one hand, Linderia agreed with some of Valdemar's ideas – caution was necessary, and they needed to be prepared for anything. These were basic truths, in their situation. The idea that Rogdan was still alive also made some sense – Fay was a valuable asset, and the body of a Hive member had not yet been found in one of the canals of Clematis. On the other hand, there were no guarantees that the leaders of Airisufir were particularly interested in the "Golden Griffin" itself – otherwise, they would not have swept the disappearance of Rogdan under the rug. It is unlikely that it would be a problem for them to present the baron's heroism as a cover, while his "real" goal was to get closer to the imperial family. But attempts to antagonize the top of the empire and dig up information about the fate of Mr. Kraffmeyer may well lead to the "Golden Griffin" having a hard time. Moreover, the squad's opponents, real or imagined, don't even need to come up with anything – a thorough search will be enough to uncover a number of secrets that could end the organization. Here, you don't need to fight, but to raise a white flag.
