Chapter 92: Slowly Cornered

The group's journey back to the capital was uneventful. The scouts identified potential problems in advance, eliminated them, and kept the group moving forward safely.

The cooks provided good food and kept the group full and strong.

Just like when they traveled to the Barony of Dolcan, they were returning without any problems.

This mission... although a secret and of great importance... went quite smoothly until now.

But on the tenth day... something unexpected happened.

It was not the scouts who first noticed the movement, but a random guard advancing with the carriages.

"The bushes are moving!"

Hearing his words, everyone immediately paused, ready to assume a battle stance.

And immediately after that, the group was surrounded by countless creatures and wild animals.

Apparently, they had somehow managed to escape the scouts' eyes.

It was very well possible.

Little mistakes happen every now and then.
