"Clear. Toynbi, who turned to look at the three captains behind him, began to choose people, looked at Kasia's face, and finally looked away, taking the two captains and two people familiar with the situation in the Flame Alliance, "Hope to bring good news." ”

Kasia and the others turned back to the group, and there was not much light left, and the hour Isha had just spoken of was almost the limit of time for darkness in the forest to turn into darkness.

There was a silent wait, and after a while, I couldn't see the people who were far away from me just by looking at them. Kasia sat down against an ancient tree, buried her head in her knees, and rested. The sonic pulses showed that there were no anomalies within a six-kilometer radius of the ultimate detection radius, and of course it was not excluded that something was hidden between the branches and leaves of ancient trees and underground. But the odds are too low, Kasia thought.

What could that be a claw mark? Like Isha and the others, Kasia thought about it again. I really hope it won't be a mark, but other than that, there doesn't seem to be another suitable explanation. Try to continue to analyze in depth in the direction of marking, and in the habit of Cassia, he often prepares for the worst. Thinking of many possibilities, the results of the simulation are not very good, at least a small half of these people around them will die.

Toynbee came back an hour and a half later, and his face was very bad under the bright flashlight, "It's a continuous trace, we ran for about a dozen kilometers, and there were such traces all the way." And on the way, I also saw more than a dozen corpses, corroded by microorganisms to the point that only the pitted bones remained, and after tonight, the bones would also disappear and become nourishment. Based on the rate at which these microorganisms corroded the corpses, the time was determined to be two days ago. ”

"Judging from the fragments of clothes, it should be someone from Larsa, with signs of battle around. After careful examination of the traces, it was a squad of seventeen people from the skull, and there were dozens of guns anyway, but less than two hundred bullet casings were found. The number is so small that a magazine takes only ten seconds, and the person who fired the gun has not even been able to finish a magazine. ”

"And it's very likely that they didn't hit their attackers at all, and the craters were all in the old trees, very messy, like they couldn't find their target, and they were swept around indiscriminately by fear. The two captains added one after another, "The time is two days, I don't know if it has anything to do with the time when the patrol team has only walked here in the past few days." If this can be explained, it is the best case. But there was still no answer on the claw marks. It is estimated that this trace will travel far along the border, and it is almost impossible to bypass it. ”

All eyes fell on Isha at this time, waiting for her judgment and orders.

"Muriel, where are the other teams at the moment?" Isha asked, pulling out her map and spreading her hands. Muriel walked over and pointed to the location of several teams on the map one by one, "The fastest is close to two hundred kilometers deep. ”

"Let them stay where they are, and then withdraw from the border as soon as it is daybreak. If it's convenient at night, you can act immediately. Saying that, Isha glanced around and raised her voice, "If you rest in the middle of the night today, the progress will be very slow, but since you can't get around it, you can only try to stay away from it." We avoided some known danger zones, and we hurried at night, and at the end of the day after tomorrow we went to the depths of the border, and then, depending on the situation, whether to continue on or go directly to the known safe areas by the fastest route. ”

The team immediately took action, and the beams of more than a dozen bright flashlights solidified and pierced the darkness, illuminating the surroundings. The good thing is that you can still hear insects chirping around. At this time, Kasia intended to get closer to Toynbee, knowing what was going on, Toynbee gave a direct answer, "A thing that was born out of trading along the border route is said to be a safe zone, but it is actually a place jointly created by more than a dozen forces within the Flame Alliance to charge high protection fees. But it's safe to get inside, though not absolutely. ”

"The patrol team can also be protected?"

"Yes, but that's a special case. "I haven't been there, and I've heard that in normal times I would be charged nearly seven or eight hundred thousand people for escaping there after encountering all kinds of dangers." If it is a patrol team, the price will increase several times. In short, if all of us enter the safe zone, we may have to pay close to 100 million. ”

Kasia looked understanding, and after nearly half a minute, he said suspiciously, "Since there is such a risk, why don't you just choose to evacuate?" Let's not talk about this forest, when we get to the seller, it is still a question of whether the transaction can be negotiated." Since there are other sources of goods, it would be safer to spend time on them, right?"

Toynbee laughed, like a mockery of Kasia's ignorance, like a kind of helplessness, but more like a sympathetic feeling, "If we can find a way to find a way in other sources, we should be lying on the big bed in our house and doing our own thing, not in this forest, Soriatu." You've just come across this kind of task, and you don't know that many situations are normal. One thing to mention, though, is that you'll need to take some time to get to know our Adjutant Chief, Miss Isa. She was very attentive to her 、、、 work, and she also had a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise Lord Savina would not have appointed her as the Adjutant Chief, and entrusted most of the tasks to her to dispatch personnel to complete. ”

I don't know how to describe it, but in Miss Isa's eyes, if this deal can be concluded, the goods bought can quickly become actual equipment and materials, go to the hands of some members of the organization, and become a part of the strength and combat effectiveness. Like a stacked block, Miss Isha sees herself as one of the lowest pieces, and her efforts can influence and help other members of the organization that she has never met before. That's what she sees in her eyes, and I may never see it. This is probably the gap, mental. ”

Toinby sighed a little, "It's a bit much, you don't have to worry about danger, no one in the team will leave anyone behind in times of danger, I can guarantee that." Miss Isha has said privately that I will take care of you, and if you encounter an enemy, you can just run to me. In terms of strength and experience, I am somewhat stronger than you. ”

Kasia smacked her lips and sighed inwardly as she reached the middle of the line.

In the second half of the night, at two o'clock in the morning, the team stopped in the dark and rested against the old tree. It was Isha and several captains who were on guard, and Kasia was excluded because the strength in the late second phase was useless, and in Adolf's information, Kasia did not have any abilities and specialties related to reconnaissance.

It's just that the night greatly restricts the speed of travel, and on the other hand, he has to avoid the known danger zones, although Kasia doesn't know where the danger in these danger zones comes from. The depth of travel was only thirty kilometers, but it was a long distance. During the break, Toyne looked at the ancient trees around them with a flashlight, and the lack of those claw marks was good news.

Early the next morning, the sky was slightly bright, and the team set off again in a thin layer of fog.

、、、、、、

"Is there any news from Larsa?" a man asked the people next to him, standing in front of the wolves, looking at the huge gray wolves who were honestly staying. The gray wolf's wheezing sound was like the lifting device of the airship, gathering in pieces and roaring.

"I said that the detailed data would be given at noon, and it is probably still being sorted out, my lord. ”
