Just as Sif was contemplating whether to remind the old fellow to keep his mouth shut, a gray silhouette dashed towards them on horseback from the direction of the headquarters building.
When Roland and Stanley had just left, Raikkonen advanced ahead to search the main building with his team.
Back already?
Before everyone's eyes, Raikkonen excitedly dismounted, briskly stepped up to the high platform, and held up a small box as if presenting a treasure.
"Commander, I've found important evidence! Look, there are dozens of loyalty oaths, all written by the Knight Order's key figures..."
"Shut up!"
Roland rudely interrupted Raikkonen.
He slowly scanned the entire crowd, his gaze sweeping over each mid-level officer who either looked shaken with fear, ashen-faced, or dared not raise their heads.
Clearly, they've all been involved.
If it were only a few involved, Roland could be merciless, prosecuting all disloyal individuals.
But when everyone is involved, then no one is.
