Chapter 12 – Runaway (12)
A messenger hawk flew to Gawain. Judging by the collar, it wasn't a missive from Hestia but Gallahad. He was currently forming an encirclement in front of Denburg.
It was half-past eleven in the morning, and there were virtually no orders coming from Hestia. In her last message, she had issued new orders for the pursuing troops while telling them to move at their own discretion from here on out.
It was a rational order since with only 50 kilometers left, it was self-evident that if the pursuing troops were to hesitate and wait for orders from Hestia, their target would be able to escape the forest. Although they could not receive instructions from her anymore, she had left them with a complete encirclement plan. Other than Denburg, it was impossible for anyone else to escape this level of encirclement.
"Captain Gawain, Captain Gallahad is saying that he will combine the first and second guard division to complete the encirclement."
