0600 hours Lord Valentine's town
The convoy decided to take a break in Lord Valentine's town. The soldiers and members of the organizing team started to refuel the vehicles. They also did some maintenance check up on the vehicles.
Some of the team can be seen eating or napping, after a long drive. Everyone was very exhausted after traveling without any rest,the convoy decided to stop at the town for four hours.
One of the soldiers was eating and noticed a child looking at him. The child was drool over the soldier's meal. The soldier notices the child was wearing tattered clothes made from rags and he looked quite dirty. He then got the idea the child was asking for alms.
The soldier smiled at the child, he then opened his bag and searches for something. After a few moments, the soldier handed something to the child. The kid was expecting to receive coins, but instead, he received a chocolate bar. He didn't know what the soldier gave him, so he reacted by scratching his head and asks, ” Mr. what is this? ”
The soldier smiled and spoke,
” That is a food called chocolate, that food is very delicious. Here I'll show you how to open it, I'm pretty sure that you love it. ”
The child gave the chocolate bar back to the soldier. The soldier immediately tears the wrapper open, after the wrapper was opened, it revealed a dark brown bar.
The soldier then breaks the chocolate into a small piece, before giving it the child. The child then smelled the chocolate before putting it in his mouth.
The child's eyes sparkled after tasting the chocolate and comments, ” Mr, this is sweet and delicious, it even melted in my mouth. ”
The soldier then spoke, ” well now rake this with you and share it with your friends, kid.”
The child immediately said ” thank you Mr ” before running off to the alleyways of the streets. The soldier immediately returns to his meal, which was his MRE supply. He then comments, ” well my food is not delicious, but satisfying and nutritious.”

The guards who were assigned to the gate commented about the convoy.
” Well they're a lot of them now, but what surprised me the most this time are those giant Iron carriages. Imagine how much advantage that would be for the merchants. Having only one carriage to store all the goods, that would be great for their businesses. ”
Another guard also comments,
” Well, it is not only for merchant, Imagine those carriages used in war. I'm sure the military would be wanting to get their hands on those carriages. ”
