The beginning part of the journey was through grassland. The last part was through a dense forest of high grass and short trees.
The challenge in navigating through such a landscape came down to visibility. The bushes closed behind the people passing through them. Also, there was no sight over the surroundings.
The Knights of Lasttown knew these paths. Grint ordered his Knights to divide themselves into different groups, leading smaller groups through the bush.
Hex gestured Althea and Hestia to stick close to him. The moment he heard Rose mention Clannad's name, he became alert. He kept an eye out on Grump who was assigned to their small group to lead them through the bush.
'Rose didn't seem to know about the latest developments but Grint should know. He is the mayor. There is no way he wouldn't keep an eye out on things happening around him. The question is, what does he know and will that affect us?'
