448. LOSING BATTLE

Noah pressed his face against the window of the carriage immediately after Dere left. His eyes scanned the world below them and he got an understanding of where they were.

A brown mountain surrounded by thick vegetation and a large river running past it unfolded in his eyes.'

The place looked normal. What he'd expect from any mountain surrounded by a forest. But it would seem the bandits utilized that mountain itself as their hideout.

Still, Noah couldn't gain sight of any signs of digging or holes that led into it. Leaving him wondering how they had got there.

The mountain had two jagged peaks and a bit of vegetation growing on it.

The party quickly began to spread out surrounding the region with about 50 different beasts, while the others stayed with their carriage. A bit distant from the mountain.
