On the second morning, the mercenaries had gathered and followed Rhode's lead to the Frozen Lake. It was exactly the same as the rumors. A thick layer of ice spread above the lake and the bright sun rays reflected off its surface, forcing everyone to squint. The wintry coldness sent chills down their spines as though it wasn't early autumn anymore.
There was no one in sight apart for two men in fur coats. They were a part of the conditions that Rhode and the Mayor had discussed the day before. The Mayor had requested to send observers for the battle so they could inform the residents of the Greenery Town immediately if anything had gone wrong. Of course, Rhode didn't believe that he would lose. But since the Mayor didn't trust him, it was better to have the observers around to witness with their own eyes.
