(Korran's POV)
Korran left his office with a thin stack of reports held beneath one arm.
The door closed behind him, and the low noise of Black Horn's Velmora branch immediately surrounded him.
Clerks moved between offices carrying sealed documents. Armoured soldiers crossed the broad corridor in groups of two and three, while formation engineers in dark-grey coats argued quietly beside a wall covered in updated campaign routes. Farther ahead, several recruits were being led toward one of the lower examination halls.
The entire building had become busier as the invasion approached.
Korran walked through it without slowing.
A Prime Archfiend wearing the insignia of a records officer moved aside and lowered his head.
"Vice Commander."
Korran acknowledged him with a short nod.
Two Greater Demons emerged from a side passage a moment later. One greeted him verbally, while the other merely placed a fist against his chest. Korran responded to both before continuing.
