The area was heavily guarded. Machine guns and cannons were positioned all over the surrounding buildings.
The group entered the building ahead.
Inside, soldiers hurried about, busy with their work.
Communications were cut off, and news traveled slowly. All intelligence from the front lines had to be relayed and processed by a large number of people.
The two soon arrived at a large conference room on the third floor.
There were more than a dozen people inside.
