Valery was far behind her army and all the vampires, after all the distance between Greenwood and Redleaves was great, it wasn't an exaggeration but it wasn't an exaggeration to say that going, walking was quite a long time. It was about the same as from Redleaves to Ironburn. Needless to say, Valery also went from Greenwood to Windham, to get to Windham he had to pass through two Barons' territories.
In short it was impossible for Valery to get there immediately, besides Valery's palanquin was walking and not flying. Even though it was totally inefficient it was also something Valery enjoyed.
Looking at nature hidden in the fog, fog created by the Moon Goddess.
Valery did not get along with the Moon Goddess even in his previous life, but the reason why he got along with her was because Valery exterminated all the vampires. There were no survivors even those friends and acquaintances died at her hand.
