Capítulo 52: Chapter Four: Night Talk

Entering the Caucasus Region from Darman Pass, they were still one hundred and eighty miles away from the heart of the Caucasus territory—Ugru Town. As the daylight began to fade, Fran reckoned they could not reach their destination tonight and proposed an early camping rest.

They had already penetrated forty miles into Caucasus Territory, with barely a soul having traversed the nearly abandoned wilderness. The only road appeared seldom traveled; the bandits from the Leon Region, even if inclined to attack again, would likely find no way to do so. In such desolate lands, finding a hidden refuge was all too easy.

When the roaring campfire lit up, Fran, as usual, instructed the eight soldiers to split into two shifts, each with two individuals stationed as bright and dark sentries in two different directions. Although this area was deemed safe, Fran insisted they remain highly vigilant to cultivate their combat readiness.
