Unaware of what was happening at the Headquarters, Squad #1 continued on their patrol.
Fortunately, after the army's bombardment and the death of the Nightmare Worm, the squad didn't face any unexpected encounters or events as they continued on their route.
As was predicted, all demons nearby were rattled by the sudden shelling. The imps and some of the weaker demons ran away in fear. Others stayed completely still.
That resulted in a rather uneventful patrol for the squad, which was a good thing since none of them were really looking for a fight. Their task is to simply follow the patrol route and report anything they notice. That's all there is to it. No need to go the extra mile, especially when it poses a risk to their lives.
