Zero cast haste and a weight-reduction spell so that they didn't weigh as much on the mounts so that they count move faster. In no time, they were within the vicinity that Zero could identify the threats with his minimap.
It was slightly strange seeing so many red dots moving around in swarms. Zero didn't think that there would be so many enemies. In fact, whoever screamed should be dead by now with this many enemies. They were travelling a little further inwards towards Endow Hill on the road towards Smargdas and Truen had a bad feeling about it.
Zero heard the enemies before he could see them. There was no mistaking the low buzzing sound among the din of weapons and spells. The screams could still be heard but there were also shouts that Zero couldn't make out. The one time he heard the familiar buzzing sound was back on Endow Hill when Zero had to steal honey to make pills.
