Let us go back ten minutes before knocks on Roberto's door.
”Oi… Don't you think the outside look weird ?”
”They expressly sneaked around to the south huh ? That upstart n.o.ble seems to be good at small tricks. Oi you, come here.”
The first one who noticed something was wrong were the soldiers who kept an all-night watch on the watchtowers.
”Certainly. Today, there's something going to happen. Somehow, I have a bad feeling.”
One of his colleagues looked into the darkness.
Tonight, the moon was hiding behind the clouds, thus the moonlight didn't reach the earth.
The guards were unable to see anything properly. However, they could feel chills run down their backs, giving them a bad feeling that something was going to happen.
For someone who had gone through many battles, such instincts were something that should not be underestimated.
Intuition was mostly arrived at because of personal experiences.
It was something that was hard to explain but it was not something that people should make light of.
”Night attack ? No, that can't be… Someone please go and call the captain.”
One of the soldiers nodded his head and went toward the staff's room.
”d.a.m.n it, I couldn't see anything in this darkness…”
”But still… I'm sure there's something there…”

”What the heck is that ? The enemy ?”
One of the soldiers found something and pointed at the distant forest.
It was something black but it was hard to understand what it was.
And little by little the black thing began to take shape in front of the soldiers' eyes.
”No, that doesn't look like soldiers. Which means, no night attack… But still, what is that ?”
People, people, people, people. It was a group of people. Because they moved without coordination, it was obvious that they were not soldiers.0
”But, even if they are not soldiers, that numbers is not something we should make light of…”
One of the soldiers muttered those words with a distorted expression.
A single line comes out from the forest.
Which needs more than hundreds of people to form. More likely it needs at least a thousand people to do that kind of line. And if one did it poorly, then ten of thousands of people might be needed.
”What an amazing numbers. The highway…”
