With her back straight, Ezzie walked up and gave a sharp greeting. "Ma'am."
Chancellor Helen's gaze were calm yet focused as she tilted her head slightly. She said, "At ease, soldier," in a calm but firm voice. "What's the status of your unit?"
"Captain's got the whole Dragon unit in motion," Ezzie replied, her tone laced with pride. "We've split into 80 teams, each with 30 members led by an awakened. We're sweeping in all four directions from this hub as the center—20 teams per direction and Captain's taken the south himself."
Helen's eyes showed a mix of relief and respect, and her lips curled into a small smile. "Efficient as ever." Her eyes returned to the monitors. "It's good to have so many awakened soldiers ready for action."
Despite feeling a surge of pride, Ezzie maintained her composure. "Captain doesn't do half-measures, ma'am."
