Lucy moved first.
Without making the slightest sound, she slipped out from behind the large cargo container and quickly crossed the open space ahead.
Gwen immediately followed behind her while firmly holding Blake's hand, carefully guiding him as they moved together.
Gena was next.
Only after everyone else had safely crossed...
Did Ezra finally move.
The order wasn't random.
It had been arranged to perfectly balance the group's movement.
Blake and Gwen weren't combat-oriented.
Especially Blake.
This was the first time in his entire noble life that he had been involved in something as dangerous as infiltrating a hidden enemy base.
Every unfamiliar sound made him tense.
Every shadow made him instinctively look twice.
As for Gwen...
Although she wasn't an Alchemist...
She had grown up surviving harsh streets long before entering House Wellston.
Sneaking around unnoticed wasn't completely foreign to her.
The group quietly hid behind another enormous steel container.
