Erik followed behind Silent Scream as they rushed towards the train station.

The two received orders to get there and put the situation under control.

The rebels' attack had been taken care of by another group of blackguards, but that was the only thing Silent Scream told him.

It was clear he didn't trust the newbie with this kind of information.

Chapter 940: Blue Whale's team (1)

Erik cut down another rebel, feeling a pang of guilt as the man fell.

A week had passed since the attack at the train station, and in that time Erik and Silent Scream had been busy suppressing rebel uprisings across New Alexandria.

Unfortunately, Erik had been forced to join the fights, killing many former comrades in the process.

Only a few people knew he had successfully infiltrated the organization and this meant that whoever met him under Savage Blood persona, tried to kill him. Of course, the very notion of injuring him was ridiculous.

Though it hurt him, he knew Van Dyke and Fischer were right-they could not afford to lose this opportunity for him to send insider information from the blackguards.

Still, each life he took weighed on his conscience. He tried to apprehend rebels where possible, but most fought to the death against the Blackguard, and in the end, he was forced to kill them.

Erik soon learned to identify rebel tactics, formations, and the people, or better, he faked having reached this realization to deceive Silent Scream.

The man seemed pleased with his progress, brutality, and efficiency in battle.

After each encounter, Erik relayed what he had learned to Fischer and Van Dyke, hoping to minimize casualties during future clashes.

This was working, but Fischer and Van Dyke had to be careful, because if they thwarted most of the blackguards' attacks on their forces, they might understand something weird was going on and ruin Erik's job.

Though heartbroken at being forced to kill his allies, Erik consoled himself, knowing that he stayed behind as a spy to help the resistance.

"I've been called back," Silent Scream said. "I must head back to the headquarters in New Alexandria and will be out for the day. This means you are free to do what you want today." Erik paused, faking he didn't know what to do, but in truth, he had something in mind.

Silent Scream was a high-ranking blackguard. Not everyone could act as a mentor, after all. But that also meant that he was as tight-lipped as one could be.

He basically said nothing important to Erik. That wasn't the only problem; the main one was that Silent Scream really knew little. He was kept in the dark for most of the stuff.

That was a clever way to counter his mind-reading powers. But the question remained: was this intentionally made to create problems for him, Erik Romano, or was this just a safety measure within the blackguards?

Regardless, he was hoping maybe someone else, someone younger or arrogant, might have some information; even rumors would be good. That was what Erik wanted to find out. Until now, most of the times, he and Silent Scream had been alone, or with Volkov's soldiers, and they knew nothing.

Joining a blackguard patrol team would give him a chance.

"I was thinking about joining one of the patrols in the city. With some luck, we might even find some rebels."

Silent Scream seemed pleased with Erik's enthusiasm. "Good idea. I'll arrange for you to join Blue Whale's patrol." He moved away, pulling out his phone to make the call.

Erik felt a small sense of accomplishment at fooling the man. Silent Scream believed Erik wanted to hunt down rebels.

After Silent Scream was done, he came back, saying everything had been arranged.

He left the barracks, taking a black car. Erik did the same. Silent Scream didn't tell him where Erik would be sent exactly, giving more hints about the fact that all this secrecy was made just as a safety measure. He only said he was going to be sent to Blue Whale's team, and he did not know who this guy was.

While climbing into the awaiting military vehicle, Erik joined the driver for the drive across New Alexandria.

The man didn't talk, and so did he.

Erik arrived at the outpost as the military vehicles drove into a small, fortified compound. Concrete blast walls rose up, surrounding a series of low-slung prefabricated buildings. Solar panels topped many of the structures, gleaming in the afternoon sun. Armed guards manned the gate, eyeing Erik and the others with impassive expressions. Erik exited the vehicle and made his way inside. He passed rooms filled with ammunition, communication equipment, and bunks for off-duty soldiers from Volkov's army.

In the center of the compound, there was an open courtyard where the other blackguards had

gathered.

The five figures were masked and dressed in identical black armor, buckling on equipment belts and checking their weapons.

Erik joined them.

"Savage Blood is awaiting duty."

One of the blackguards glanced his way before returning his attention to his tasks. "If you are

ready, just follow us."

"These guys knew Erik was new. Only newbies were that pompous with them. Another

Blackguard would have never talked that way, at least most of them."

Shortly afterwards, Erik and the other blackguards fell into formation behind an army officer

as they left the compound.

He led them to a row of all-terrain vehicles parked outside the walls.

They split into two groups, with Erik joining two blackguards in one vehicle.

They climbed aboard and soon were driving out into the city streets.

Weirdly enough, this was a land vehicle.

The vehicle rode in silence as they patrolled the streets of New Alexandria.

Erik observed civilians going about their daily lives from behind his mask.

"Look at these sheep just wandering around," one blackguard said. "They do not know what's

really going on."

The others laughed. "They're like ants, just scurrying about," he agreed.
