Selma Payne's POV:
I had a vague feeling that this operation had gone too smoothly. I hoped that there wouldn't be any accidents at the end. As expected, big trouble fell from the sky.
When the scout reported traces of elves in the distance, my heart sank. When they confirmed that the other party was coming for us, I immediately ordered them to abandon the original route and leave the forest in the shortest straight line. Everyone took off and hid their combat equipment, trying their best to disguise themselves as a civilian scientific research team.
We were aggrieved, but who asked us to be unreasonable? If there were no results from the wandering forces here, there would be a lot of fun to watch if there was a diplomatic incident on the other side.
However, things did not go as one wished. No matter how much we hurried, an accident still happened.
