"The night here is a bit cold, are the people here accustomed to gatherings at night?" Malin looked at the commander of the assault team, a middle-aged man who was a Baron. In the Farol Principality, a Baron is the lowest rank of the nobility, unable to pass down their title (for their personal use only), typically only soldiers with military achievements who are promoted to command a squad are granted such a title.
He had a big beard and gave a bitter smile as he shook his head when he heard Malin ask, "Mr. Malin, please don't say that; we Farolians never like to go out at night without good reason, so there must be something wrong with this village."
"Then we can start our operation." Another, younger mage spoke up, ignoring Malin and turning to the senior mage acting as the commander, "Instructor, since those guys are all there, we can approach and then have them undergo inspection."
