A few days had passed since I rescued Liliana.
As per Platiphia's plan, I was now heading out to exterminate the deserting Goblin soldiers.
The destination was an abandoned fortress located south of the Demon King's castle, about two days away by carriage.
The local residents (a small tribe of Beastmen) had reported that the Goblins might be multiplying rapidly.
'The purpose of this exercise is for you to experience traveling by land, achieve the tactical objectives, and return safely with your men.'
In other words, it was a bit like a mock military operation. Although, calling it "mock" was an understatement—it was quite serious.
While it would take only a few hours to get there by dragon, this time we were simulating normal troop movements as befitting a prince, which meant traveling by carriage.
The entourage included my attendants like Sophia, Garunya, and other servants, as well as the Night Elf rangers.
