After leaving the General Support Unit building where the now Special Unit was stationed, Izroth immediately made his way deeper into the command area. As he made his way through, Izroth noticed that the defenses became tighter and the checkpoints more frequent.
"You may pass." One of the War Brigade soldiers said after he confirmed Izroth's identity.
'This is already the third checkpoint. It seems that recent attacks has everyone on edge.'
The reason Izroth had to pay a visit to Aurie first was simple. Even with his achievements and newly acquired rank, it was not as if Izroth could just walk up to Nova's location. Even if one was a General or high ranking noble, it would still be virtually impossible to get close to Nova in her current state.
However, Aurie was Nova's adopted daughter. Additionally, Izroth was on good terms with Aurie. As such, if he wanted to visit Nova, his best chance was to go through Aurie.
