Since they were ntioned in the conversation, Ryzel and Layton were finally sure that all the people they had detected this ti were from the forest dwelling they had observed.
"So, are we going to keep observing them this ti, or continue roaming this planet first?"
"We will just observe them today and then we will continue going around the planet tomorrow.
They’re clearly stronger than those that we have observed before, so we can’t continue following them for a long ti as so would surely notice us, even with Storm’s invisibility," Layton answered, and then ordered Storm to fly higher as they might be noticed quickly if they stayed closer.
Storm obediently flew higher, and Layton just zood the video showing the people below, as well as making the sounds louder so that they could hear them clearly.
The people below still kept sitting around and just kept talking to each other, as they were actually waiting for all the other groups to gather.
So, Ryzel and Layton also just listened to what they were talking about while also looking at the monitor, which showed that the other groups were also heading to where they were.
From the conversation that they had heard, they also learned so of the content of their long-term mission and why they were heading back ho already.
According to what they had picked up from the conversations of the people below, it seed that they went west to fight sea monsters that wanted to co ashore, and it was always part of their job to go and check the west to prevent the sea monsters from gathering and coming ashore.
Aside from that, they also had to maintain and grow different plants along the way.
According to their tone while speaking to each other, Ryzel and Layton could easily deduce that maintaining and growing plants were things that the people below them thoroughly enjoyed.
It seed that it was also necessary for them to maintain and grow different plants as it was also connected to how they strengthened their powers.
Based on what they had heard, it seed that they were going back ho earlier this ti, even without properly caring for all the plants along the way, because they had a lot of injured people who needed long-term treatnt from plants in the east, and they didn’t have enough stock of those plants, so they needed to head back.
Aside from those reasons, it seed that their main reason for going back earlier was actually because one of their leaders was seriously injured, but they couldn’t find a cure in the place where they were, so they had to go back to look for other plants that might cure their leader.
While talking about their injured leader, it was obvious that the two groups were very worried. They kept talking about heading back early; so were also asking if there was progress from those who went farther to gather plants, and so were actually cursing the monster that had injured their leader.
After so ti, all the people finally gathered below them. They saw how the others controlled so plants again to make mats to sit on; others climbed and sat comfortably on tree branches, and so were also like the previous two groups who just sat on rocks and other surfaces on the ground, like the tree that had fallen earlier.
They also finally saw the leaders that the earlier groups were talking about. According to what they had heard, there are currently two main leaders that were leading the mission.
Among the people below, it was clear who the two leaders were because their dress was very different from the others and their presence was also obviously stronger than the other people.
When Ryzel saw the main leaders, he was surprised to see that they were actually younger than he expected.
There were obviously older people among the group below, but they weren’t the ones acting as leaders, so the two leaders were probably really strong as the others obviously acknowledged them as their leaders.
And just like what the earlier groups were talking about, it seed that one of their leaders was really seriously injured, as he was sitting in a chair and was carried by two strong people who had been flying while carrying their leader.
The leader was also obviously very pale, and even though there was no noticeable wound, it was still obvious that the leader couldn’t move properly, especially his lower body.
It was clear that he was really the most injured, as even though the earlier groups said that a lot of them had been injured, those who ca could still walk or fly without any obvious problems, even though they still looked a bit sickly compared to those who were really healthy.
But even though that leader was already severely injured, it was still very obvious that he was the leader, as his presence was still different from the others.
Ryzel was still observing the people below when Layton suddenly said, "Let’s move. Storm, continue going west."
Storm imdiately started moving away as Layton had ordered.
"What’s going on? I thought we would move tomorrow," Ryzel imdiately asked, because Layton wouldn’t just change his decision without a reason.
"Those two leaders had already noticed Storm’s presence."
"Really?"
"Yes, those two leaders had subtly glanced in this direction thrice already. The injured leader noticed it later, but the healthy leader had glanced in this direction as soon as they ca and looked this way again later."
"I was looking at them and I didn’t notice at all."
"They didn’t look in this direction in an obvious manner, but their concentration had peaked when they looked at the place where we were a while ago.
They weren’t sure of our presence yet, as they glanced in our direction thrice obviously looking for us, so we had to move away before they could confirm our presence.
They would probably keep looking and stay alert for a while, so it’s better for us to move away for the ti being and just observe them later."
