Just a little over 800 football fields away from the jungle, the Midnight castle was deployed. Although the arrival of night was a full week away, and the mercenary group hadn't initially planned on stopping during the night either, it would be foolish not to take every advantage that the Midnight Inns' presence provided them with.
The fact that they had deployable, reliable fortifications made this job easier by many orders of magnitudes for the mercenaries. They took each and every opportunity to stop and take a rest that they could get - not to mention that they were playing some kind of role playing game with the three mischievous beasts from the Inn.
The existence of the tavern also allowed the mercenaries to do things they weren't able to previously, such as being able to study their destination. Through the use of clones and drones, they had been able to confirm that even if they lose line of sight, within the vicinity of the jungle, individuals won't be teleported away.
