Mindi the Doctor

15 Minutes later, the last ground vehicle is finally out of the city. While on the other hand, the air cav is still grounded, because of technical issue. With nothing else to do, Faust order the air cav men to rest up, but still be ready to move.

The mechanized & motorized infantry on the other hand, is doing smoothly. Oman, who is sitting on top of the lead Tsujigiri tank, is currently checking the route using a drone, Mindi is sleeping inside one of the Tardec RST-V, and Logan is driving one of the KLX250.

When the lead Tsujigiri tank enter a village, the villagers got scared, thinking they were monsters that coming to attack the village. Oman's screaming didn't really helping either. He used the loudspeaker, to tell the villagers to clear the main road. The panicked villagers try to quickly get out off the way, but some of them are scared children that froze in place. Few soldiers decided to get off the tank to help clear out the road.

One of the elders resolved himself, and ask one of the men about what do they want to do to this village. The men answer honestly, and say "We are just passing through." Hearing this, the old man then pass out the word to the rest of the villagers, calming them down. It turns out, there are another reason the villagers start panicking. It's because usually, when the Dowa army came, they will forcibly conscript the healthy adult and the young adult into the army. Although many of them are still sceptical, some of them come out of their house to watch the vehicles drive through the village.

Unknown by others, one of the villagers manage to sneek inside the forrest. After a short walk, the man arrived at a large tree that has an arrow mark on it, an then open it's hidden drawer. Inside, there is a manacom, that he immediately use to call his supperior.

"Report. There's a large army moving out. It's possible they are the reinforcement to take back Turov. Please advice."

After a few buzzing sound, there is an answer. "What! How come the agent inside the king city didn't send a word!? Is it possible that they were captured? Which ever is it, this is bad.. Anyway, do you have an estimation of how many they are?"

"No sir. They are using a large number of some kind of magic wagon. I saw the biggest magic wagon I have ever seen, capable of carrying six to eight large demihuman."

"That's impossible. No magic wagon can carry that much load. Anyway, you lay low. There are few interception team near there, they will delay their movement."

"Yes sir."

After that, the men then turn the manacom off, hide it again, and then head back to the village. When he's at the edge of the forrest, he was shocked to see that Oman is waiting for him.

With a large grin that show his canine, Oman ask the man. "How do you do?"

The man immediately run away toward the forest, but stoped short by Oman. Oman immediately shot him with a Benelli M4, loaded with taser shell. When the shell hit, 50.000 volt of electricity shocked the man for a few seconds.

"Heh, you idiot. Although you manage to dodge the eyes in the ground, you forgot the eyes in the sky." A drone then appear behind Oman. "Now, let me call a friend of mine, and then we can do a long~ chat. Shall we?" Oman then pick the man up.

After a short talk with the village head, Oman manage to borrow a barn for the 'talk'. Few minutes later, Mindi enter the barn while yawning. "So, this is the guy?"

"Yup."

"Got it."

After Oman straped the spy to a chair, he then splash him with water, waking the man. "Rise and shine sleeping ugly. We have few questions for you, can you answer them honestly?"

Although confused at first, the spy quickly calm himself. "Heh, it's no use. No matter how much you torture me, I won't speak."

"Damn!"

"Haha, he used the cliche line. You lost Oman."

"Damn man, you made me lost 50 Nim (Eldia's currency)! In this situation, you should just stay silent like a cool man, not blaber like some hot shot! You're a spy not a damn general!" Before Oman woke the spy, he and Mindi made a bet whether the spy will use a cliche line from the movies, or just stay stay silent.

"Like I say, you men love showing your bravado."

"..." The spy couldn't understand what kind of situation he's in. They suppose to make him fear them, not joking arround in front of him.

"Oh now you didn't say a word?" Oman then slap the spy's head.

"Hey, be nice. And you, hot shot, I have a bad news for you. No matter how tough you are, you will answer our question. It can't be helped."

"I like to see you try."

"Hmm... he got fire I give him that." Mindi then load a blue liquid into a syringe, and then inject it into the spy. "You better not struggle. You don't want the needle to break mid-injection. Thrust me, it will be incredibly painful."

"What is that?" After Mindi finish injecting the serum, the spy ask her.

"This thing is called... you know what, the name is rather hard to pronounce, but we called it the truth serum. In a few minutes you will having a mild headache, and then your thoughts will become dull. After that, it will take your will away, making your lips very loose."

"Heh, like that kind of drug exist. Ugh.."

"Oh, the drug finaly kicks in. Let's try it then. What's your real name?"

Although the spy try to keep silent, his lips just open up like it was natural. "Mowi..."

"Good boy.. He's all yours Oman. I'll go back to sleep."

"..You know Mindi, I sometime forgot that you are a doctor."

"Why? Because how venomous I can be?"

"Yeah.. you're the complete oposite of how people wished their nurses should be. You used to be a doctor right? Helping patient, healing the wounded, that kind of stuff. But here you are, shooting lead into a person skull. And not one of us know why would you chose this life."

"That's part of my charm. Also, let just say, that I believe in the saying, 'sometimes, the only way to save a live, is to take one'... Call me if you need anything else."

"Thanks." After Mindi close the door, Oman then began his questioning. "So then, Mowi, how many spy friends do you have in this village."

"None..."

"How about the next town, or on the way there?"

"There are few teams that will try to delay your movement... There should be a merchant in Lervi that act as our agent..."

"What's the merchant's name?"

"I don't know his real name.. but his merchant name is Odel..."

After few more questions that Mowi have no answer to, Oman then ask him a final question. "Thank you very much Mowi. Now, this is personal, but what is your deepest desire."

"I.. want to go home... To my little brother and sister... To my mother... I want to just leave this god awful 30 years of war..."

".. I hear you man. But you're lucky, let me tell you that. You still have family to go back to. Now that's over, you better sleep." Oman then shot Mowi with a tranqulizer round, knocking him out. He then grab Mowi and throw him to one of the car.

Not long after that, the convoy suddenly stop. Oman ask about it over the radio. The commander of the lead tank say, "Lt Logan order us to stop."

Oman then run to Logan. When he arrive, Oman immediately ask Logan what is going on. Logan response by pointing his eyes using his fingers, and then run his thumb across his neck. What Logan meant by that, is that he can feel the enemy scouts, and that he will take care of them.

".. I see.. Do you need any help?"

Logan shake his head in response.

"Got it. Be careful out there Logan. MOVE OUT!" After Oman shout the order, the convoy began to move again.
