While Kesiah and Gaham lured the Legendary-level Knights, Gael remained in the temporary campsite and observed the Arch Magus-level Knights. The commotion brought by Kesiah and Gaham's appearance resulted in every knight and officer in the camp maintaining their vigilance. None of the lower-ranked knights and officers followed the Legendary-level Knights because they would have been left behind or even caused delays. Instead, they doubled the groups patrolling the vicinity while a few of them started their preparation to go to the fort.
There were still a few more hours before they began the operation, but because of Kesiah and Gaham's appearance, they decided to move up the time.
Gael did not mind the buzz around the camp, though. He preferred it even, because it made it easier for him to move around their shadows without being detected if they were this busy.
