"That carriage is suspicious," the Captain of the Shadow Guards muttered while gazing into the distance with a telescope.
He was high in the sky, mounted on the back of a Gryphon. Half an hour had passed since they left the Frontera Residence and followed the road that headed southward.
The reason he had singled out the suspicious carriage he had found was because carriages usually didn't travel past midnight.
Most travelers would camp out during the night since the roads had no light, and traversing them blind was dangerous.
He didn't see any family emblem on the carriage. Frankly, it looked too plain to be used by a noble family.
But the Captain instinctively felt that this carriage must've belonged to the targets they were pursuing.
"First Killing Formation," the Captain ordered.
As soon as the order was given, their team of ten Gryphons split into three.
Two teams would flank the carriage on its left and right sides, while the Captain would attack it from the rear.
