Elius quickly returned, so Zaos's squad and the villagers left toward the Northern military base even in the middle of the night. Elius made sure to stay in the back in case something unexpected approached them from that direction. Meanwhile, Zaos stayed in the front to use Holy Light and make sure that everyone will follow the right path and not get lost. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, but they only reached the military base at sunrise since the villagers couldn't walk at the same pace as them.
The guards at that entrance showed some surprise in their eyes since they didn't expect that a village would be evacuated. Still, they react quickly and give the order to some nearby soldiers to help the rookies.
