Raspail Plain.

It is located in the center of the area now occupied by the United Nations forces. It has a flat and open terrain, fertile land and a pleasant climate.

It is considered to be the most important area in the United Nations occupied zone and one of the most livable areas.

Once upon a time, there were a large number of villages and farms here, which was a vital grain production base for a certain country.

However, after an invasion of rats, the land was devastated.

Even the kingdom that originally occupied this area was one of the first to be exterminated.

Although there are still some nobles left in the country, most of the people left are commoners, although these nobles claim that they have ownership of this area.

But in the end, naturally no one recognized it.

It was not until the arrival of the Night's Watch that this place became a granary again with the help of its secondary profession. Currently, more than half of the food supply for the Allied Forces and various refugee camps comes from here.

On the edge of the plain, an elite team of Night's Watchmen were quietly moving through the woods.

"I smell it." Angel caught a peculiar smell in the woods and stopped.

"What's that smell?" Tyr looked puzzled and even blinked. He activated his identification ability and carefully scanned the surrounding environment.

But he didn't find anything unusual.

Facing the puzzled gazes of his teammates, Ange slowly said, "Plague, it smells like plague."

"Is it true? Can you tell the difference just by smelling it?" Bi'an squatted on a tree branch, his face full of distrust.

They are not completely ignorant of the ability to identify this.

It was explained long ago that the ability [Identification] simply eliminates the tedious detection process and allows the owner to see the results directly with their eyes.

However, if no traces can be detected during the normal and tedious process, it will be of no use even if the identification is initiated.

In other words, how many traces can be seen through identification depends entirely on one's knowledge and familiarity with various types of traces.

It simply shortens the time it would take several hours or even a whole day to discover a trace to a moment after the ability is turned on.

As members of an elite team, they naturally knew the composition of the evil god's power and the characteristics of the remaining traces.

Ange blinked.

"I not only smell it, I see it... the scent of the pestilence, the scourge that escaped me."

Hearing this, the teammates behind him all shut up silently.

As the captain, Jondalen glanced at Ange and asked solemnly, "Since you are so sure, I choose to believe you.

But if that's the case, then our mission isn't just about pursuit and revenge. This is the heartland of the Allied Forces, and I'm sure you've all received intelligence that some sinister individuals have infiltrated.

The four gods have united, they must be plotting something, and now a high-ranking believer of the plague has appeared here."

Without him having to finish his words, his teammates understood the seriousness of the situation.

"We will continue to investigate. Once we get accurate information, we will send it out immediately. Don't act rashly." He pointed at Ang and warned him.

Ange nodded: "I just want to make up for the mistakes I made in the past. I won't act impulsively."

Soon, as they continued to move forward, they noticed some traces and found a camp hidden in the jungle. The camp was very simple, with only a small tent, a pile of fire that had not yet been extinguished in front of the tent, and something like a drying rack around it.

"Hunter's camp?" Tyr felt puzzled.

Before the fall of Jinmai City, he had been a street thug, but he had also hunted in the forest to make a living. He remembered this place as a hunter's camp. Hunters usually prepared their prey briefly at camp before bringing it home.

With doubts, Tyr quietly sneaked into the camp and came to a conclusion after a simple inspection.

"This is indeed a hunter's camp, but it's been abandoned for over two years. But in the past six months, it must have been used frequently. The soil beneath the skinning racks is soaked with blood.

Judging from the traces around here, someone must have been here at least for the past two days to process their prey. But strangely, based on the traces, they don't seem to have taken all the prey away. For a normal hunter, this is completely unreasonable..."

Teammates stepped forward to help and conducted another detailed inspection.

"The hunter was abducted. The power of the plague remains here, albeit very weak. It happened about a day or two ago. The hunter showed a very slight resistance before being abducted."

"Is he being treated as a pitiful sacrifice?" asked the other side calmly.

After all, the evil god's followers captured these civilians mostly to use as sacrifices.

"Perhaps, but based on these traces, we may be able to find a direction to continue our investigation."

……

The sound of horse hooves rang softly on the cobblestone road.

Lelia carried a spear and walked leisurely. At first glance, it looked like she was taking a leisurely spring outing.

But if you look closely at her eyes, you can find a faint magical power gathering. She is ready to start the assessment at any time, vigilantly observing everything around her, and always maintaining a combat state.

"It's so boring. Let's find something interesting to do." Amber muttered while lying on Lelia's horse and looking at the clouds.

Without even turning her head, Lelia simply responded, "If you're bored, go play by yourself. I have an important mission to attend to."

In the past, An Bei would have run away long ago, but recently she really didn't find anything fun around.

So, she continued to nag in Lelia's ear.

"You've been wandering around this area every day. Are you looking for some treasure? Amber can help."

"It's just a simple patrol mission. If you're willing to help, that would be great."

"Humph! I don't want it!"

As she spoke, the little fairy floated up and landed right on top of Lelia's head, looking around.

"There's nothing special at all!"

Lelia did not refute and fell into deep thought.

Their team had been here for several days. Logically, they were sent here on patrol missions in the hope that they would discover some clues so that if problems arose, a strong team could quickly provide support.

However, the reality was that their team found nothing. Even though they had dispersed and expanded their patrol search area individually, they still had no clue.

It is not clear whether the enemy has already retreated or is too cunning to leave any clues.

Anyway, let's continue patrolling. Although this mission may seem like a sponsored trip, it's definitely not that simple. Regardless, it's essential to maintain a high level of combat readiness at all times. (End of this chapter)
