The man rubbed his chin:
"This is indeed very dangerous, but there doesn't seem to be any other good solution."
"Alright then, since I promised to help you get revenge, let's cautiously follow them and see if we can gather any intel."
The two reached a consensus and began to move along the hoofprints.
As pursuers, they had the advantage; the enemy was in the open, they were in hiding, and with the hoofprints as their guide, they could easily determine the enemy's direction and distance.
The opponent's objective was indeed clear... heading steadily southeast.
Seems so.
The final destination for both sides was indeed the same.
Thus, they kept pursuing until night fell, and from a distance, the man and CC saw a campfire rising and heard the laughter of three robust, dark-skinned men, quickly came to a halt, and hid behind a tree.
The man gestured to CC to be quiet, then whispered:
"They probably plan to rest here for the night."
