"Yes, Lord Aiel, could it be because Lord Salno is fighting? I’ll ask the team members to search around again."

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing heavy armor and carrying a shield asked, "Captain, I just saw from above that there are a few adventurers dressed people about seven or eight kilometers away, should I go and inquire?"

"No need to go, I saw those few as well," Balza Feng immediately shook his head and said, "Those who can only hunt at the edge of Lankote Snowfield should be adventurers from nearby towns."

Just a moment ago when he was up in the air, he also saw those adventurers, and they seemed to be setting traps to hunt some demon.

Adventurers who dare not venture deep into the snowfield, how could they possibly be involved in what’s happening here.

Just as he was speaking, suddenly, the voice of a team member came from one side:

"Lord, a very intense battle once occurred here. Although the battlefield has been cleaned, there are still some traces that can be found. Look, this pit was filled up again, but it’s actually over a meter deep, the soil below is completely compacted."

"To achieve this kind of result, it must have been a battle between extraordinary strong persons. It should be Lord Olaf who struck a certain extraordinary from the Soladin Kingdom, casting them into this pit."

A middle-aged man dressed as a ranger carrying a strong bow grabbed a piece of exceptionally solid, stone-like dirt from a filled pit and weighed it to indicate.

"There are also findings over here, in this area there are footprints of more than ten griffins landing. Moreover, judging by the clarity of the footprints, the departure time should not be more than two hours ago."

Another young man with a dagger at his waist squatted down to examine the ground and shouted.

The results of the investigation from his two team members made the captain of the Wind Spirit Squad, Balza Feng’s face sink.

His subordinates were seasoned bronze level adventurers, and the likelihood of making an error was extremely low. From the two subordinates’ reports, it seemed the situation was not developing in the direction he had anticipated.

"Lord Aiel, might I trouble you..." he thought for a moment and slightly bowed to the expressionless Aiel beside him.

Aiel, as a priest of extraordinary level, mastered several prophecies divine arts.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try, you all stay alert," Aiel nodded his head and took out a crystal ball from his bosom.

"Yes, my lord! Full alert!"

Well-acquainted with Aiel, Balza naturally knew that he was about to carry out the Fifth Level prophecy divine art - the Search Art.

As a Fifth Level divine art, its consumption was not inexpensive. Evidently, Aiel also sensed that the situation was not quite right.

As the chanting began, the crystal ball in Aiel’s hands started to emit dazzling magic radiance.

Half a minute later.

Aiel’s always calm expression suddenly changed, and he murmured lowly, "Couldn’t perceive Salno."

"Is the other party not on this plane? That’s quite unlikely...."

Aiel’s words naturally shocked Balza as well, and he quickly asked, "Lord, is Lord Olaf the same?"

"Give me a moment." After a brief thought, Aiel released the Fifth Level divine art ’Search Art’ once again.

A moment later.

Aiel finally let out a sigh of relief, pointed southwest, and said, "In that direction. Olaf is on a griffin, too far away, we won’t be able to catch up."

The Search Art can perceive and hear as if being in the scene, feeling the state within a few meters around the target, but the duration is often like a dream, lasting only a few seconds.

"On a griffin? Then why wouldn’t Lord Olaf..." Halfway through his sentence, Balza suddenly realized something.

Clearly, if he was actively riding a griffin, the current Lord Aiel would not have said ’can’t catch up’.

However... the superior squad under him, with the title of ’Winterless Shield’, Lord Olaf, has been captured?

The party from Soladin Kingdom is so strong this time?

But how did they know that we were coming to Solaisar Ruins?

"Olaf was heavily wounded and captured. The destination of the other party should be the Royal Capital Rapids Castle of Soladin Kingdom." Hearing Balza’s question, Aiel didn’t conceal the truth.

However, when the rest of the Wind Spirit Squad heard this, they immediately looked over in shock.

Everyone knows, this operation involved sending out our own two extraordinary level strong persons!

It’s not that the Soladin Kingdom doesn’t have such strength.

But the problem is, our operation was very secretive. How could Soladin Kingdom have known ahead of time and mobilized more than double the extraordinary strong persons to ambush?

Clearly, this operation was completely failed!

"Lord, shall we..." Balza Feng frowned and asked.

"Immediately contact Winterless City, also, we should head to Bornberry, staying here draws too much attention. As for the next move... let’s wait until the captain arrives and then decide." Aiel said in a deep voice after some thought.

In Aiel’s view, if the enemy has the capability to eliminate Salno in a short time and also capture Olaf alive, then their strength is certainly above him and the Wind Spirit Squad.

Also, the Necromancy Crystal is important, but Olaf’s life is likewise important, given such major events, all still hinges on the decision of our captain Jora.

"Yes, my lord." Balza Feng wasn’t surprised by this decision.

He understands his Lord Aiel quite well, he’s quite stable, basically doesn’t take risks.

Soon, the group once again mounted their steeds and flew towards Bornberry.

Meanwhile.

Raine was planning to go back to the temporary camp to check the situation, but unexpectedly, the other party arrived quickly and withdrew even quicker.
