There was just a simple rope connecting the four of them. Jace moved at the front of the pack and quietly moved past the pair of guards that were on duty. Slipping noiselessly through the front gate. The three Union pilots that were behind him seemed to be able to do this better than most soldiers.
Which made sense because they were used to sneaking around. It was more in relation to their status as a terrorist group. It was a good skill for them to have though.
Jace was able to expand his invisibility over them because of the rope that tied them together. So they were able to move past the Holy Empire guards and into the enemy compound. It was still chaos as they were clearly making preparations to dig in. Unfortunately they had already made a mistake.
