The escort team assembled quickly, with 20 spots available on a first-come, first-serve basis, all occupied by curse wizards dressed in light attire.
Starting from the lookout tower in the Former Territory, they headed north, returning to the Trident Crossroads without encountering anything, as this area had been entirely cleared by Lance and his companions.
Taking the southwest road, the 24-person march moved swiftly and was almost entirely void of conversation. Although the spirits of the Undead were high, the four NPCs remained calmer, keeping Lord Lind's command in mind.
Reclaim!
Lind's words still echoed in their ears: "Now, Harbor Village is devoid of strong forces, at most a High-ranking Wizard and a Great Knight along with a Wizard. If we do not seize this opportunity to take over Harbor Village, the New Nobility will make their move. This is not just for the sake of the Undead, but also to preemptively deal with that High-ranking Wizard."
