Then, their ears heard the soldier shout, "Stop that wagon! The Ferron was on it, hiding among the gunny sacks!"
His shout was loud and clear, attracting the attention of all in his presence.
Without further ado, soldiers sprang into action, driven by the urgency to halt the high-speed wagon by any means necessary.
The soldiers scrambled to mount their horses, aiming to give chase and intercept the runaway wagon.
However, their efforts proved futile as the wagon safely crossed the border, leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
They gritted their teeth while watching the fading silhouette of the escaping wagon, disappearing into the darkness of Turtevekesia.
....
Back at the border, the situation for the remaining wagons took a turn for the worse.
So far, only four out of the seven wagons had successfully exited the kingdom.
The rest were still stranded in line.
