On the first night after adjusting the route.
After adjusting the route, it would take one more day than originally planned, and five more days to reach Jiulong City.
Instead of hurrying on their way, the army found a clearing in a dense forest to take a short rest, rejuvenating their energy and maintaining peak concentration!
All around them were ancient sky trees reaching towards the heavens, completely obscuring the surroundings, with only threads of moonlight filtering through.
The spot where the army rested was the only area not covered by the ancient trees, where the moonlight shone down like a spotlight, surrounded by the sounds of bubbling streams and the occasional ominous cawing of crows from within the dense forest.
The soldiers took turns standing guard, one batch resting while another remained vigilant.
Meanwhile, array masters began setting up formations around the perimeter.
Alchemists distributed medicinal pills to the others.
