Chapter 154: Horse Acquisition

Outside the eastern side of the city. 

A group of three stood a few hundred meters from the city's limits, taking a rest under a small tree. There were farm fields stretching in every direction, most of them already having been harvested before the incoming winter.

"Damn. I'm not sure how I didn't think this through right away."

Lod was scratching the back of his head with an embarrassed expression.

The group of three were on foot. Salis's three horses were all stored at the northern ranch-stables, while Apperot was at the farmer's ranch north of the city.

The original plan had been to avoid those areas, as the cult would likely still be searching for them around there. Traveling around on foot wasn't really an option, though.

Horses were worth a fortune, and it would be a huge loss to have to buy new ones in the future. Furthermore, wandering around on foot would take way longer, and the soreness would be painful.
