Princess Agent: Season 1

Chapter 1

It was May 12, 116, 2 a.m. in the middle of the night, in the countryside of X, a city of the empire.

Seven jet black vehicles were speeding along the country highway, two in front, two at the rear and two more flanking a sedan in the middle of the convoy. The vehicle was built to military specifications; its high powered engine emitted a smooth and steady hum. It was covered with high performance alloy. If one looked closely, one could see spiral patterns on the windshield that made it bulletproof. This vehicle was without a license plate, nor a military insignia. This convoy inevitably caused suspicion. How on earth did this convoy emerge from the highly secured city?

After an hour, the convoy pulled into an ordinary yellow building somewhere in the city’s countryside. Four soldiers in camouflage uniforms walked forward, indicating to the convoy that they were subject to security checks. When the doors of the front vehicle opened, a young man in a black suit stepped out and gave the soldier a dark red card. After the soldier inspected the card for a long while, he said softly, “I need to seek approval from my superiors.”

The man in black suit furrowed his brows and looked a little annoyed, as he muttered, “The signature of General Jin is on the card, whose approval do you still need?”

The soldier showed no signs of emotions, as he replied, “Major, the superiors issued their orders just now. Unless it is the head of state comes here in person, no one is to enter this military facility unless they have the permission of both General Jin and Mr. Zhang, the Chief of Staff.”

“You…”

“Li Yang.”

A deep voice suddenly emerged from the vehicle behind him. One of the black cars moved gently forward. The driver rolled down the windows and behind it was an old and seemingly wearied face. The soldier was stunned. He stood to attention immediately while offering a salute. “General Sir!”

General Jin nodded mindlessly and asked, “Can we go in now?”

The soldier paused and said, “Sir, Chief Zhang has ordered that there would be no vehicular movement within the camp, only walking is allowed.”

General Jin frowned, while patting his leg he asked, “Even I have to walk?”

Looking increasingly uncomfortable with the situation, the soldier gazed into the car to take a look at the General’s injured leg. Even so, he emotionally said, “Sorry Sir, these are the orders from the top. No one is to ride in vehicles, only walking is allowed!”

Li Yang was furious, with his face flushed red.

General Jin gently waved the soldier away and turned towards Li Yang. “Li Yang, go in yourself. Bring my documents, and you have to bring Agent 005 out safely and securely. We cannot afford to suffer a loss like we did with Agent 003. These agents are all treasures of the empire,” he instructed.

Li Yang froze, facing this exhausted and aging elder. He respectfully paid a salute. With a voice of determination, he said, “Rest assured General, I will definitely complete this task.”

However, at this moment, a massive blast was heard. Bright and blazing flames were seen, with a dark gigantic mushroom cloud hovering over it. Li Yang’s eyes widened in shock. With veins on his forehead visible, he sprinted straight into the military camp.

In this night, X’s citizens were still quietly fast asleep, but right outside the city’s limits, at the fourth military prison, there was a huge explosion that would shock the world. In the darkness, everyone’s eyes around the country were fixated on that same spot, waiting for dawn to break in a few hours.

Four hours ago.

In the courtroom of the country’s fourth military prison, seven high ranking military officials sat in their uniforms, with their rank insignias sparkling on their shoulder epaulets. They were all generals. On the judges’ stand, there were five military judges, all of whom came from different military divisions, which were not necessarily under a similar military system. Beneath them were over 20 men holding Kurt MOD733 5.56 caliber machine guns, all of which were from the country’s top special forces operatives. They looked prepared to take down anyone who stood in their way.
