After leaving Deep Creek Village, everyone set off for their final journey. Since Rhode knew that the Demons had gathered all the Barbarians, his previous plans were no longer valid. Now, they had to enter the forest trail and into Misty Mountains before reaching the Fortress to eliminate the Demons. However, it wouldn't be easy chasing them away.
Their journey gradually became rougher and rougher.
The forest trail was referring to the path connecting to the Misty Mountains. Many years ago, this path was used to connect the Fortress and other areas. However, it was abandoned and if it weren't for a few wild beasts, illegal merchants, and bandits, perhaps there wouldn't be any living creatures on this path. Even so, this route wasn't easy at all.
Although the mercenaries were on the road for a full day, they weren't tired. Instead, they were chit-chatting casually.
