Chapter 559 - Arrived Back (1) (1/2)

Five people arrived at the scene riding on horses around 5 minutes after Auron's group left the scene.

The leader of these five people looked at the burned supplies and gnashed his teeth. With one glance, the leader knew that the supply delivery group had been ambushed. He looked at the trail and saw that the people were gathered inside the forest to their left.

This means that the enemies were coming from the left, and it was apparent that they would leave using the same path.

These 5 people were elite soldiers from the Regalia side. The stop area commander already knew there was a high chance for the Gaia to attack the supply delivery group. Hence, the commander assigned several elite soldiers as reinforcements.

The 5 elite soldiers who fought with Auron's group previously were the first reinforcements. The commander also arranged several checkpoints and stationed elite soldiers there.

And, these new 5 elite soldiers were the soldiers stationed at the next checkpoint. When the first 5 elite soldiers were battling against Auron's group, these 5 people still didn't realize it. These 5 elite soldiers just realized what happened when they saw the smoke rising from this place. Hence, they paced their horses towards this place.

Unfortunately, these 5 elite soldiers were too late. When they arrived at the scene, Auron's group had already fled.

The leader of these new elite soldiers didn't dilly dally. He quickly commanded one of them to report back to the commander while the rest would chase Auron's group.

Unfortunately, the forest path was not suitable for horses. So, they had to get down from their horses and used their own feet. Then, the chase began.

Auron's group didn't know that there was a chaser behind them. However, Auron didn't relax. Instead, he wanted their group to maintain the lead and escaped at full speed.

5 minutes on the lead was not a big gap. However, since Auron's group had passed through this place once, they already knew most of it. Hence, their speed increased. On the other hand, their chaser was still unfamiliar with the forest path and stumbled at several places.

5 days passed by since Auron escaped. Just like when they went to the supply delivery group, they also only rest for few times. Meanwhile, their chaser also didn't rest. They knew that they were already behind Auron's group. Hence, they didn't have the luxury to rest.

During these 5 days, the news that Auron's group successfully destroy the supply delivery group had already reached Regalia's stop area commander. When he first knew the news, he was furious and slammed the wooden table in front of him.

However, it didn't last long. The commander quickly regained his sense back and immediately gave several commands.
