"You must have one warp gate here then" Ezra smiled.
"Surely" Elisa replied.
"Huu…" Ezra exhaled and lowered his head.
"I have a request"
Silence came into play for a long while.
"Alright" Ezra's head shot up.
"No, not yet. Tell me, what is your plan"
"It's like this…"
—--------------
Ezra explained his plan all through, and by the end of his talk, two hours had expired.
Elisa nodded, her expression far better than before.
"Alright, but how are you sure of this?"
"I'm not, but it's better to be safe than sorry"
Having reached an agreement, Ezra headed out with haste.
The enemy could arrive at any time, so he certainly could not get careless.

Seven mercenaries soon graced the fortress with their presence, each one being Expert-rank.
Ezra knew them to be the reinforcements Fredrick sent his way in hiding.
Meanwhile, four cloaked figures laid in the forest nearest to Gattiste.
"This is the place?"
"Yes, the source is confirmed to be here"
