Crossing the Mountain

The army quickly settled down, and the soldiers alongside the commanders enjoyed the final rays of the setting sun. This time, no one set up tents or made a campfire to cook. Everyone was seated in small groups chatting with quiet voices and watching their surroundings. Their entire being was filled with vigilance as they wondered if they would run directly into the enemy as soon as they exited Shenyuan.

The route they had taken was one which Li Meilin should not know. Although it was a large road, no one should have mentioned it to her. Also, when she was flown back to her country, the eagle had not come this way. However, although there was a very low chance for the enemy to know the road they took, no one could say for sure if the army was waiting for them. This was another reason they were going to travel through the night.
