Chapter 39 - The Dawn of Antiquity: The Arrival of the Dark God - Chapter Thirty-Nine

Hasta was full of soldiers of the Imperial Army and warriors of the Legions. This forced us to move in under the cover of darkness. Lady Seia's reunion with her mother, Baroness Donssenia, was brief. There was little time to explain the current situation or rest. Solus knew of our movements through every slave collar in our group. I had no illusions that we'd face some sort of threat soon. Taking that into account, Audora, Otonia, Ellisif, Knight Halldora, Missi, and Ratold took separate routes to Pons Aelii. Gabrielle and Aitaa shadowed us with a few of Halldora's men. Lady Dossenia traveled with the rest of her forces at full speed to Countess Silvia's estate. Gabrielle's slave collar no longer broadcasted her location to Solus. Instead, I was aware of wherever she was. Aitaa had yet to receive a collar. I had to use this to my advantage and unlock my own collar. We traveled on the primary Imperial Highway.
