Chapter 1404: The Wolf Pack, the Wolf King and the Lone Wolf (Part 2)
"It's clear." Toyinby turned to look at the three captains behind him and began to select people. He looked at Cassia's face, and finally looked away, taking away the two captains and two people who were familiar with the situation of the Flame Alliance.
"Hopefully brings good news."
Cassia and the others turned back to the team. There was not much light left at this time. The hour that Isa just mentioned was almost the limit time for the darkness in the forest to turn into darkness.
There was a silent wait, and after a while, people far away around him could no longer be seen with just his sight. Cassia sat down against an ancient tree, burying his head between his knees, as if resting. The sound wave pulse showed the limit.
There is no abnormality within a six-kilometer detection radius. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are things hidden among the leaves of ancient branches and underground. But the possibility is too low, Cassia thought.
What could those claw marks be? Like Isa and the others, Cassia also thought about this again. She sincerely hoped that it would not be a mark, but other than that, there seemed to be no other suitable explanation. Try to continue in the direction of the mark.
When analyzing, Cassia's habit is to prepare for the worst. Thinking of many possibilities, the results of the simulation are not very good. At least half of the people around him will die.
Toynby came back an hour and a half later, and his face looked very bad under the strong flashlight, "It's a continuous trace. We ran for about ten kilometers, and there were such traces throughout the journey. And we saw ten more people on the way.
Several corpses were corroded by microorganisms until only the pitted bones were left. After tonight, the bones will disappear and become nutrients. According to the speed at which these microorganisms corroded the corpses, the time must have been two days ago."
"Judging from the fragments of clothing, they should be people who came from Larsa. There are traces of battles around them. After careful inspection of the traces, I can tell from the skull bones that they were a team of seventeen people. After all, there were dozens of guns, but I only found
There were less than two hundred bullet casings. The number was so small that one magazine only lasted ten seconds, and the shooter couldn’t even finish one magazine.”
"And it's very possible that they didn't hit their attackers at all. The craters are all on the old trees. They are very messy, as if they can't find the target and are controlled by fear and shoot around randomly." The two captains added one after another,
"The time is two days. I don't know if it has something to do with the coincidence of the time when the patrol team passed here in the past few days. If this can be explained, it is the best situation. But there is still no answer on the claw marks. It is estimated that these marks will continue to
It's so far along the border that it's almost impossible to get around it."
All eyes were now on Isa, waiting for her judgment and order.
"Muriel, where are the other teams currently?" Isa asked at this time. She took out the map and spread out her hands. Muriel walked over and pointed out the positions of the several teams one by one on the map.
"The fastest one has already penetrated nearly 200 kilometers."
"Let them stay where they are and evacuate the border immediately after dawn. If it is convenient at night, they can also take action immediately." Isha glanced around and raised her voice. "We will rest until midnight today, and the forward speed will be slower."
It's very slow, but since we can't avoid it, we can only try to stay away from it. We will avoid some known dangerous areas and travel at night. We will reach the deep part of the border by the evening of the day after tomorrow at the latest. Then we will make decisions based on the situation.
, should we continue to move forward, or go directly to several known safe areas from the fastest route."
The team immediately took action, and the beams of more than a dozen strong flashlights pierced the darkness and illuminated the surroundings. The good thing was that insects could be heard all around. Cassia deliberately moved closer to Toynby at this time, knowing what was going on.
Toynby gave the answer directly, "A thing that was created because of the border route for trade. It is said to be a safe zone, but in fact it is a place jointly created by more than a dozen forces within the Flame Alliance to charge high protection fees.
But you can indeed be safe if you go inside, although it is not absolute."
"Can even those under the patrol team be protected?"
"Yes, but this is already considered a special situation." Toynby said, "I have never been there. I heard that in normal times, when you escape from various dangers, you are charged a fee of close to 7 to 8 million per person.
.If it is a patrol team, the price will increase several times. In short, if all of us enter the safe area, we may have to pay a price close to 100 million."
Cassia seemed to understand. After nearly half a minute, she said doubtfully, "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, will the deal be negotiated?
It’s still a problem. Since there are other sources of supply, wouldn’t it be safer to spend time with them?”
Toynby smiled, as if he was mocking Cassia's ignorance, and also as if he was helpless, but more like a feeling similar to sympathy, "If we can find a way from other sources of goods, we should each work together at this time."
Lying on the big bed in your residence, doing your own things, instead of being in this forest, Soriato. You have just come here and encountered this kind of mission. I don’t know that many situations are normal. But I still want to mention one thing.
,You need to take some time to understand our adjutant-general, Miss Isa. She is very dedicated to her,,,work and has a strong sense of responsibility, otherwise Lady Severna would not appoint her as adjutant-general.
Most of the tasks were left to her to dispatch personnel to complete."
"I don't know how to describe it. In Miss Isa's eyes, if this transaction can be completed, the purchased goods will soon be turned into actual equipment and supplies, and go to the hands of some organization members, becoming a symbol of strength and combat effectiveness.
A member. Just like stacking blocks, Miss Isa believes that she is a piece at the bottom, and her own efforts can influence and help other members of the organization who have never met her. What she sees in her eyes, I may never
I can’t see it. This is probably the gap, mental.”
Toynbee sighed, "I have said too 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 this. Miss Isa told me privately to take care of you.
When you encounter an enemy, just run to me. In terms of strength and experience, I am somewhat stronger than you."
Cassia smacked her lips and sighed in her heart as she walked to the middle of the team.
In the latter part of the night, at two o'clock in the morning, the team stopped in the dark and rested against an ancient tree. The ones on guard were Isa and several captains. Cassia was excluded because the strength in the late second phase was useless, and Adolf was more powerful.
According to the information, Cassia does not have any abilities or specialties related to investigation.
It’s just that night greatly limits the speed of travel. On the other hand, it is necessary to avoid known danger zones. Although Cassia does not know where the dangers in these danger zones come from. The depth of travel is only thirty kilometers, but at least it is
After walking for a while, Toyinbi and the others used bright flashlights to observe the surrounding ancient trees during their break. It was good news that they didn't find those claw marks anymore.
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 stood in front of the wolf pack, looking at the huge gray wolves that were standing still, and asked the people next to him. The gray wolf's breathing sounded like
The lift devices of the airship gathered together and made a roaring noise.
"It is said that detailed data will be given at noon. It is probably still being sorted out, sir."
