Deep within the Dark Forest in the southeastern region of Hatha, a group of rugged mercenaries had set camp in a hilly area that was not frequented by the ordinary hunters due to its proximity to the dangerous mountain peaks that were rumored to be cursed by evil spirits.
These mercenaries were in fact the other half of the allied troop being led by Cian back towards Abetha. Even with their elite skills, they did not dare blindly travel during the night inside the forest and were thus forced to stop again. Due to their deliberate slow speed and acts of concealment, taking routes that were not frequented by most people, their group was still inside the territory of Hatha. If nothing were to go wrong, it would take them another day and an entire night to reach the capital.
