Monke and Another Raid (4)

~ Third Person POV ~

"Are you sure that there are no traps left around the entrance?" Linuel asked the lead scout with a raised eyebrow. Looking around, he saw the scouts who had participated in disarming the traps kneeling on the ground, their heads bowed, save for their leader.

"I assure you, commander, all the traps we have seen have been disarmed and removed." The lead scout didn't get up from his kneeling position as he waited for a command from his superior.

"Very well. Stand." The scouts all stood as one, their eyes staring straight into empty space with their heads rigid like stone. "Dismissed. Take a break, the frontliners will take up the mantle."

All of them saluted in unison, their right hands making fists as they positioned them a foot apart from their diaphragm.
