Since the group had to return as soon as possible, they chose the shortest route. At first, they didn't find any problems, but then the speed of the group began to decrease on the third day since they couldn't stop to rest in enemy territory.

The vast majority trembled in fear, wondering about the possibility of becoming the next target.
