Should I say it's as expected?
The sewers were empty, besides the sound of footsteps and flowing water, one could only hear the whining of the wind through the passages and the noise of small animals. Through the use of enhanced sensory magic, the echoing sounds and moving air in the sewers were sketched out in "Nightingale's" mind. Whether it was the dim area ahead, the side passages, or the corners, everything was in clear view.
Ambush;
Automatic weapon stations;
Chimera;
Gas generators;
Trap mines;
None of the expected defensive setups for the sewer had appeared.
It was as if they never anticipated someone would invade the sewer, leaving it undefended.
—Wrong.
This was not the Emperor known by "Nightingale." Those damned paranoiacs always pursue perfection relentlessly, with plenty of patience to inspect every detail, every link, every loophole, tirelessly, until no problems remain. They are such fanatics for details.
