The battle at Turis Castle was in full swing, meanwhile, in the Duchy of Connaught, Musillon.
A caravan was attempting to enter the town.
This caravan flew a black skull flag, with several carriages transporting many exquisite noble goods and magic gemstones from the Empire. Two plainly dressed drivers, yet armed to the teeth, drove the carriages. A tall guard, with a ruffian-like demeanor, accompanied them, along with two half-elves in gray robes, carrying compound bows on their backs, escorting a lavishly decorated carriage.
From a distance, the towering walls of Musillon resembled the edge of the world. The colossal walls, tens of meters high, seemed endless, leaving only an overwhelming sense of awe and oppression.
