Chapter 235 - Dawn Attack (1) (1/2)
The army began to depart from the city. They went to the nearest town from their destination and walked from there.
Since they used the teleportation portal to reach the town, so it didn't take much time for them to arrive at the nearest town. However, it was a different matter for the army to walk to their destination. Moreover, it was in the middle of the night.
This time, the army's destination was far remote. There was still a long way of distance between the nearest town to the destination village. They needed to walk twice the mile from their previous operation.
The reason was because they had to make a detour. The army could choose to went straight, but they needed to go inside the forest along the way.
Although Lieutenant Kajo didn't afraid of the forest, but he still had a slightly bad experience with the forest in the previous mission. He also didn't want to make his troops too tired. If they chose to go inside the forest, they would need to increase their awareness. It was an exhausting act.
Although making a detour also exhaust them a little, but it would not drain their mind too much. Moreover, it was in the middle of the night. In the night, their vision was limited. If they chose to go through the forest, it would be difficult to resist a surprise attack from the enemy.
To increase their safety, Lieutenant Kajo and his army walked at moderate speed. They didn't rush nor taking their time. During their journey, the sergeants and Lieutenant Kajo kept on talking and discussing.
It looked like the previous result really affects Lieutenant Kajo. He didn't want to repeat the same mistake anymore.
It was already 3 in the morning, and the army had covered 70% of their journey. During their trip, there was no worth mentioning incidents along the way. The military only encountered several ordinary monsters that they could handle easily.
The sergeants and Lieutenant Kajo still kept in their discussion. They discussed how they would handle when they met a demonic monster until their escape plan. They also formulated an escape plan along the way, using their observation during their journey.
It was a long and exhausting discussion. After several minutes more, Lieutenant Kajo began to feel tired. He also noticed his sergeants' exhausted expression. He decided to stop the debate and just walked peacefully.
The result from the lengthy discussion was not bad. Lieutenant Kajo and the sergeants had 3 alternative plans if none of the original ideas were worked out. Although it was not a foolproof plan, but at least it was better rather than not having any plan at all.
After several minutes more walking, one of the corporal went over to the lieutenant and the sergeants' position. It was the corporal who was assigned to scout the area ahead.
