Chapter 39: Before Battle

Carl recalled the map he had received from Harman and tried to estimate how far he had to go to reach the Ax Sound Village.

'It took about 30 minutes to run lightly to the stacked log village, so assuming the map is accurate, it will take at least an hour to travel.'

Carl bites his lip. He want to get to the village of piled logs as quickly as possible and get inside the safe fence.

The darkness seemed to keep consuming him, and now even the moonlight seeping through the tree branches looked like the eyes of a monster.

"Would it have been better to wait until the sun rose?"

Carl asks Catherine in a low voice. Hee feels like he acted too hastily.

"It was the right decision to move now. Since you're heading out on a limb, momentum is more important than anything else. Even if we had moved during the day, if our momentum had been lost, we would not have been able to move as we are now."
