The group marched towards the forest. They had again formed a formation where Clara, together with Venessa, were placed in the middlemost position.
Surrounding them were a bunch of Silver Knight guards, all rank-5 with the exception of two who were rank-6 mages. Sir Hanry always stayed at such a distance from Clara, where he would be able to act instantly if something were to happen.
Then mercenaries were placed at the front of the group. Leading them was Clive together with Barry, who was also a rank-7 mage.
While most mercenaries were placed at the front, roughly a quarter took the convoy's back.
An eerie silence ensued in the surroundings as they approached the other forest in front of them, and only the sound of twigs and dry leaves cracking under their feet was heard.
The silence was getting on their nerves, but no one dared to make any sound.
