The northwest?
That's the direction they came from, toward the Wind-Eroded Cave.
Not long after Bai E's voice rang out, someone raised a question over the comms, "You can hear what's behind while on the flank? You think you're better than those scouts?"
Bai E's brows knitted lightly, but before he could speak, another voice took over.
"Understood," the calm voice of Team 1's captain came through the headset, issuing tactical orders, "Ka Ruigan, Tiger, your teams move back and get ready for support, but also be wary of possible attacks from your direction, don't rule out a feint."
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Then Team 1's captain continued to inquire over the comms, "Scouts, have you noticed any movement from behind?"
The five rear scouts exchanged glances, highly uncertain of their own judgment.
They truly hadn't heard anything, after all, the wind on this wilderness buried a lot of noises, and their lack of focus might be another reason.
