บท 87: Assemble

Not long after the undead retreated, Old Walker finally found a new clue.

"They left a trace!"

Old Walker and Sereck became excited once they saw a strange marking engraved on a nearby tree trunk.

"They're nearby… I think they should be over there!"

Old Walker pointed towards a dark cave not far away from them. Even if Old Walker didn't point out to them the similar symbols engraved on the cave surface, everyone could guess what happened from the undead corpses scattered at the entrance. A messy trail of footprints also revealed that there was some human activity though it was evident that something wasn't right.

"Let's go."

Rhode didn't want to linger in this forest for too long so he quickly beckoned his group to move. While the journey had been fairly smooth sailing so far, they were only about two-thirds through Silent Plateau. They still had one-third more to travel once they rescued the mercenary group.
