With Adalard finally awake, the group enter Beacon Citadel. The main Headquarters for Wehrmacht and SS operations in the Kingdom of Vale. Y/N follows Adalard closely behind as they both enter the war planning room. Adalard pointed at 2 Newspaper articles released by the local paper, they were stamped onto a map, which had numerous division markers and patrol routes.

Adalard: Das papieren. Are our only evidence of anyzing strange happening in ze Vale region.

Y/N: Und jou believe zey are all connected?

Adalard: Ja mien Führer.

Y/N: No need for formalities mein friend. Ve both know each other well.

Y/N assured, he patted his friend's back and smiled.

Adalard: Ve have been monitoring ze areas. Ich haben ze 4th and 5th Wehrmacht patrolling Vale all around. Und no sign of ze criminals.

Y/N: Only 2 battalions? Vhy not ze whole damn garrison?

Adalard; Zey are eizer zoo far zo provide service, hunting ze Grimm down, or manning anti aircraft positions against ze Nevermores.

Y/N: Vas ist das? Jou have SS-Todesschwadronen patrolling aswell?

Adalard: Ich need any man I could to search. Don't blame me.

Ruby stepped in to ease the hostilities forming between the Führer and the Hauptsturmführer.

Ruby: But here's the real question though. Why would a couple of criminals. Steal a truckload of Dust, and a ginormous Railgun. And not even do anything with them? What are they waiting for.

Adalard: Und more importantly, wo sind sie? Who are they?

Y/N: Zat ist vat ve need zoo find out.

Ruby: They could be working for Salem...

Y/N: Salem?

The young Führer asked with curiosity, Ruby began to tell Y/N, but hesitated. Knowing that he could try and go after Salem too, possibly getting himself killed as well.

Ruby: I-I'd rather not tell you right now Y/N, we have bigger problems to deal with.

Y/N: Alright zen... Now, ve haben nien idea vere zey vill strike next or if zey vill begin zoo act vatever zey're planning. So, mien best suggestion mow ist zoo vait until zey strike again, und collect evidence of zere vhereabouts.

Adalard; Ich sehen... Gut zinking Y/N.

Y/N: So... ze Railgun zat vas stolen? How ze fick? Zid ve get it?

Adalard: Ve built it... ze Deutsches fabriken are actually doing sehr gut right now. Remnantians are very villing zoo help us. Zey see us as more efficient in ze 'Grimm business' zan Atlas.

Y/N: So, vere are ze supposed locations of ze thieves?

Adalard pointed to places which seemed to be abandoned, what remained of the Forever Fall, the ruins of Beacon Academy, and Mountain Glenn.

Y/N: Und jou have patrols zere. Ja?

Adalard: Ja Herr L/N.

Y/N nodded, before placing his hand on his chin.

Y/N: Sehr gut... Ich haben an request for you fur ze time being Hauptsturmführer Schmidt.

Y/N then pre promptly left the war room. Ruby followed.

Ruby: But we don't know their allegiance yet Y/N. What if they're working for Salem. Like Tyrian and Dr. Watts were. They could come after us.

Y/N: Vho told jou about zis 'Salem' anyvays?

Ruby: Uhh...

Y/N did a full 180 turn, himself towering over the shorter girl.

Y/N: Jou can tell me Frau Rose. I promise, I von't be angry, or vatever jou are vorryig about.

Ruby sighs, she then reveals what she's been wanting to tell him.

Ruby: She's an evil woman, My uncle told me about her. She wants control over Remnant, which is why Tyrian, that guy you killed and that other person were able to find us. If you attack these guys who are stealing things from the German military. They might be under Salem's wing, and she'll try and send assassins to kill you.

Y/N: If zey do vurk under Salem... I vill send zem a message... Throw zem in mein camps... Und kill zem all.

Ruby: I'm just worried for your safety, that's all.

Timeskip: Mount Glenn.

Oskar Dirlewanger made his men check the railgun one last time. Richtofen had the Railgun, which was named 'VKK' loaded with a dummy round, a few dust-powered rounds... and a round filled with gas canisters, created by Richtofen himself.

Dirlewanger: Herr Richtofen. The Railgun ist almost ready fur deployment. Have jou identified a target yet?

Richtofen: Ja, Herr Oberscharführer Dirlewanger. Das...

Richtofen pointed to a little island just west of Vale... Well within the range of the K5 Krupp 280mm's reach...

...Patch

Richtofen: Ist out target.

The doctor proclaimed, Dirlewanger looked bewildered as to the logic of moving the massive gun without German air patrols spotting them.

Dirlewanger: How vill ve get ze K5 over zere?

Richtofen pointed to the underground railway system Roman Torchwick once used to bomb Vale. He also pointed to a small abandoned steam train that could be used to transport the ginormous artillery piece.

Richtofen: Utilizing ze underground system, ve can transport it unseen... test ze veapon, und finally rid ze TRUE 4th Reich of Atlesian harassment... Ve'll enslave zat foolish veakling Goering. Zan I can become Führer of ze 4th Reich. Ze whole vurld belonging zo me...

The doctor smirked, Dirlewanger just scoffed. Ordering his men to the Railway gun. The train slowly started and chugged off, hauling the K5 along with it. Along with Dirlewanger and some of his men. Richtofen lit one up and puffed in and out a few times.

Richtofen: I can almost hear the drums of war... marvellous.
