Captain Akazawa was on top of a horse as it moved within the forest full of trees with a high speed. While he was moving, he remembered the conversation he held with Saito, "I hope that the gamble pays off…"
The horse continued to gallop as it left the forest and entered the Northern Wastelands. The wolves that he was supposed to hunt were very close to the forest. They seemed to live on the outskirts of the forest.
The reason they lived here instead of within the forest was because their species, the Storm Wolves got stronger from being struck by the real thunder from the heavens.
It was a mysterious area where the chances of being hit by the thunder were very high. It was unknown why the same wasn't present in the forest but with the presence of the trees, it would be rare to be hit by the thunder.
