A week passed in a blur of activity, and training for the deployment had begun. Fifty men were carefully selected from the Abyssinian navy, each chosen not for brute strength, but for something far more valuable: adaptability. Their mission was clear — blend into crowds, recognize threats before they materialized, and master the codes and signals that would allow them to vanish when needed.
They didn't need to be the best fighters. They needed to be ghosts.
Khisa personally drilled into them the importance of their role. No speech, no ceremony — just hard, relentless training. This operation would depend on precision, subtlety, and discipline.
