Kisha didn't respond verbally, only nodding in acknowledgment. Seeing her gesture, the gatekeeper sighed, his expression resigned.
"City Lord, safe travels," he said, his voice soft, recognizing that whatever concerns he had would be pointless now.
He had already noticed the discrepancy in the number of trucks that had returned compared to those that had left that morning, and he hadn't seen Captain Sparrow among the returning crew.

After stamping the permit, he signaled for the soldiers stationed above to be on high alert and ordered the gates to be opened, allowing the armored vehicle to pass through.
Seeing their City Lord leaving the base for the first time in a long while, a sense of tension spread throughout the soldiers above the wall.
