– Alright, I agree, – replied Zuthar and headed towards the forest.

The forest turned out to be not as scary as it might have seemed earlier, at least its first part. In just over three hours, the “Mglа” squad covered about twenty kilometers, moving directly through the forest. Somewhere ahead, a rise towards a mountain range was visible, and beyond it should be the capital. After spending another hour advancing and making their first ascent, the squad found themselves in a gorge, which was convenient for their further movement. A patrol appeared ahead.

They didn't notice "Mglа," but who knows how many of them are here? For some reason, Baziliu didn’t like the idea of encountering this squad. The group could still turn back and return to the road, or try to find an alternative route in the mountains, longer and probably more dangerous, but free from enemy patrols.

- I don't like the look of these patrols. And, to be honest, I doubt we won't encounter them on the road either. Maybe we should go through the mountains? Even if we run into giants, they probably won't have time to alert their comrades about a group of armed strangers, which I can't say about the patrols.

Nebok, it seems, fell out of the plane while we were flying.

Upon spotting the patrol, Basil began to get nervous. He shared his concerns with Laurent. The Catharian often listened to Basil when it came to battles or other risky operations. Since the day his friends died, he had started to trust his comrade's intuition, and perhaps thanks to him, they were still alive.
- We need to find another route, - suggested Laurent, - or return to the road.

- Should we go through the mountains?

- Do you have any climbing gear?

- I happen to have a jetpack for such occasions. I have no idea what the others have. But even it might not be necessary if we get lucky. After all, we should have maps of the area, and we can try to find a suitable route there.

- I don't think we'll need any equipment. We can't get past the patrols. We can turn back! But we'll definitely run into other patrols on a different road.

/How many are there, Revan? And what is their density?/ -- We could try to temporarily disable them and pass through. Although it would be a crude approach. /The character is preparing to use an invisibility spell to move to the center and unleash a wave of fear./

Only two and two drones are within sight; it is unknown if there are any others.

- How do you suggest we neutralize so many people and drones at once before they have time to report us?

– There will be a problem with the drones, – Zuter agreed. – They are most likely connected to people via a neural interface, but it is possible that they transmit some data to a base. Hmm... If someone could intercept the signal and find out if the drones are connected to a base... If there is, then I have another idea.
Revan, I just thought. Maybe this is some well-known information about the drones? Or do they have many specifications, and it is impossible to find out in advance which ones?

What information?

/Whether drones are connected to a designated base or only to their "owner," as well as whether they have an autonomous alarm system./

Drones may have individual (or batch-specific) builds, and their components may differ.
