Chapter 217: Under Attack

Before the group departed from the city, where they previously spent the night, Tija was seen talking with a local. And based on her shock and loss of self-control, she must have received bad news.

"I apologize in advance but please let me be selfish for once." she stated with a shaking voice when she approached the group.

"What's the matter?" Ophelia asked, noticing the seriousness of the situation.

"I want us to arrive in Youra tonight." Tija said.

Usually, the group would have arrived there tomorrow morning at the earliest with their current pace and the occasional breaks.

"Tonight already? What's the rush for?" Sara wondered.

Just before she answered, Tija bitterly bit her lips.

"The North has made their move."

For some of the group, it did not sound alarming as they were not familiar with the politics in Grat, however, it was a great deal for those who knew.

"They were last seen heading to Youra." she added tensely.
