As the groups of Inverloch soldiers passed through the scrutinizing gazes of the Inver guards, they finally converged on the other side of the city.
"Urgh... I've never been regarded with such disdain, not even by the king himself after failing to defend Mezorin," he muttered to himself.
With the tension and hostility surrounding their passage, Bain realized that this path was riddled with animosity and risk. It was not a viable option for the future.
He plans to take a longer route when returning to Mezorin later.
Seeking confirmation, Bain's voice cut through the air, direct and focused. "Has everyone made it through safely?" he asked, his concern, especially for his fellow Ryntum soldiers was evident.
Every single one of them, meeting Bain's gaze, checked on their comrades, ensuring everyone had successfully crossed the threshold. Nods and murmurs of reassurance were exchanged, displaying their unity and resilience.
