Two types of units had been placed on Alaia to assassinate Kiriha, Clan, and Ruth. The first was the missile unit meant to shoot down their ship. That unit had a vehicle equipped with six supersonic missiles, with eight units deployed around the expected point of descent. Three of them had taken part in the attack for a total of eighteen missiles fired. The other type was a normal ground unit, albeit lightly equipped. Its role was to chase down any survivors if the missiles failed to assassinate them, so it needed to be stealthy within enemy territory. For that reason, those units had no vehicles or large weapons; instead, they had only weapons they could carry and relatively small unmanned crafts. The composition was closer to a reconnaissance unit than a standard infantry force. Their numbers were also that of a squad: a total of ten. Eight such units had been deployed around the area.

“I thought this would be a simple mission against amateurs, yet we’re struggling to find them.” The squad’s vice captain folded his arms and groaned.

This was one of the eight squads pursuing Kiriha and the others. They were stationed two kilometers away from where the landing craft had crashed and had been sent to investigate. After confirming that the targets were alive, they’d reported to their superior officer and immediately received new orders to follow the survivors.

“Since they haven’t left any footprints, they must know what we can do,” the squad captain said.

“Oh! I think Princess Clan was in charge of the intelligence agency!” the vice captain recalled.

“This is going to be a long day...”

The captain resigned himself to a long fight. There were no footprints around the crash. So much so that one could suspect the survivors had hidden inside of the craft. But the newly created life-detector, which was actually a spiritual energy sensor that soldiers didn’t know about, had confirmed that there was no life aboard, so there was no doubt they’d escaped. Moreover, the survivors had done so in around ten minutes. That wasn’t something a civilian who’d been caught in an accident could pull off. It was clear that their targets had experience in battle. If the squad let their guard down, their survivors would escape.

“Where did they run off to?” the vice captain asked.

“Where would you run to?” the captain replied.

“I would run to my allies...but it’s a long way to walk. The ocean is to the south and isn’t very suitable for hiding. So perhaps the hilly north where I could find a good place to hide?” the vice captain suggested.

The captain nodded. “I think so too.”

The ocean was a few kilometers south. Since the survivors wouldn’t want to be cornered, they probably wouldn’t run there. It made more sense to assume they had escaped to the north, since the forest extended into the hills, making it easy to hide, and there were also other places where they could take refuge, like caves or ravines.

“So, to the north?” the vice captain asked.
