Quintus led the vanguard squad, swiftly tracking the target’s movements as they headed southeast.

Mackenzie and her team followed at a safe distance, protected by top experts from the Ophanim Clan, including Rhett and Anna, along with seventy members of the Wolf Warrior Unit. With such a formidable lineup, Mackenzie’s safety was assured.

To avoid alerting the enemy, they kept a deliberate distance from Quintus‘ vanguard, careful not to get

Quintus, accompanied by twelve elite operatives, quickly closed the gap with the slow–moving target.

The bandits had entered a stone forest–an eerie terrain in the West End, nearly devoid of vegetation and filled with a labyrinth of jagged stone formations. Tracking them in such a maze would have been almost impossible without a military positioning system.
