The Element of Surprise

Dara looked over all of them and addressed them, telling them about their mission which was to mine more Qi Stone, but also reminding them of the high possibilities of them having to do battle because they were already in the Season of War.

Then after charging them, the crowd roared in motivation before Dara pointed his fingers towards the Tribe Gate and the entire troop began to march out.

They headed for the Qi Stone mine, oblivious to the fact that an entire troop of Royal Guards as well as several other overpowered experts were marching towards the same destination.

Dara put on his mask as Elder Long brought the male beast which they just bred with four different females over to Dara to use as mount, and unlike what Dara thought would happen, the beast didn't rebel or become aggressive but instead allowed Dara to mount it comfortably.

The two Obun Elders stood on either sides of Dara whilst Elder Long Walked in front of the beast.
