After saying goodbye to the others, the Advance Team spurred their horses along the pebbled path by the Roen River towards the upper reaches. Traveling day and night, they should be able to reach the tributary of the Roen's upper course in about three days.
However, Luo'er clearly had no intention of doing so. After leaving the encampment, he led the Advance Team swiftly away from the vicinity to ensure they wouldn't be followed by any hostile forces. The group kept moving relentlessly and did not stop until the evening when they camped by the riverbank.
Once certain no one had followed them, Luo'er slowed down the pace. From their current location, it would take at most three days to reach Melia's camp.
The reason they needed only a few days was not due to their quick pace, but because Melia's territory had expanded significantly compared to before. Although it was still trivial compared to the land area of the Masaya Kingdom, it was enough to witness the strength of Melia.
