Chapter 202: His Fate [3]

The moon was high up in the sky.

They had cleared the entire forest mostly but there was no sign of the man.

Then was the route they had followed wrong?

It seemed most likely.

When they took the cleared pathway, they stumbled upon the forest. It took at least six hours for the entire journey.

By now, the sun was about to rise.

With such thoughts, they decided to set up camp.

They sat around by a campfire. Its flames crackled, casting a warm glow on their features.

"You've been looking uneasy this whole time, General. What's on your mind?"

The one who posed the question was Belle's assistant, Ray.

Belle stared at the campfire and hugged her legs.

"I just can't shake off this bad feeling."

"Don't worry, General."

Ray consoled her.

"Everyone here is strong. We even have Sir Ivan with us. Just focus on protecting yourself."

"....You're right."
