Meanwhile, in the periphery of the valley near Vale City.
Lexter Ford commanded his soldiers to build a temporary camp and let them take a rest. They were already close to Vale City so it was necessary to let the soldiers have an ample amount of sleep so that they can fight in their best shape.
"Send some men to scout the area and tell our men to sleep in shifts." Lexter Ford felt unsettled for some reason. Their journey was too smooth that it felt so wrong. They didn't even encounter a scouting team from the Leone Empire.
"Yes, Grand General!"
After his men left, Lexter didn't enter his tent. He surveyed their surroundings with narrowed eyes and he only looked away after not sensing anything abnormal. "Why do I feel restless?" He muttered to himself as he frowned.
He stared at the dark sky and then outside their temporary camp. It was so dark and he could only hear the eerie blowing of the wind.
