While all this was happening in the capital of Dunnas, Andrew and his companions were traveling through the desert towards the kingdom of Catarea. Apart from the attack they suffered on the first day, their trip had been peaceful.
Andrew had wanted to have fun with his wives in the carriage during the nights, but being in the desert, which is dangerous, was not the best idea, so up to now they had not done anything.
According to the plans, they would reach the border in a couple of days, so they were in no hurry and had now stopped to eat. While they were preparing everything for the meal, suddenly, Oliver stood up and looked into the distance.
Andrew and his wives looked at him strangely and without being able to control themselves asked, "Is something wrong?", to which Oliver responded pointing to the east, "A few kilometers in that direction I feel a large group of people approaching."
