It's resting day today. The stampede will happen tomorrow so I told everyone to rest well before the event.
Although I told them to rest, most of them are unable to sleep and stay together in the dining hall. They must be too tense to rest. Other than Hill and the guards he brought from Mellian.
Mellian city is a city surrounded by a lot of monsters, and makes that city a good place for hunters to make a living. The monsters near that city would sometime tried to enter the gate to the city, but the guards protected it well.
And usually, when the numbers of the monsters increased a lot, and there would be stampede. The last stampede that happened in Mellian was three years ago. And all the guards Hill brought here have experience handling it. That's why they are not anxious like the others.
