Watching From The Side

"Order those two to return quickly and guard both entrances. They should immediately report if they see anyone appearing in their sight." Selene ordered.

"Yes, Boss."

However, not long after the two started guarding, her subordinate rushed her side, anxious.

"B-Boss! We lost contact with both Black 5 and Black 6!" 

"What? How?" Selene asked surprised. 

"I-I don't know, it happened too abruptly." Her subordinate replied.

"..." Selene became silent. 'Do they have a stealth-detecting artifact or individual? Both of them were skilled at hiding and stealth...'

"Prepare for a battle, get everyone ready, and give the bandits their weapons back as well. We will use them to fight."

"Yes, Boss."

"Then, leave."

Selene watched as her subordinate left in a hurry.

'Damn it... Now I can't act rashly. This complicates things.'
