A few minutes earlier, near Liam, the soldier Kyren DeMark was cautiously moving, scouting the main battalion's surroundings to ensure their movements hadn't been detected by locals or kingdom soldiers.
Their mission was top-secret, and any minor mistake would shatter several months of planning and effort.
Thus, matters were handled with extreme strictness, especially after they had managed to infiltrate Velmoria Kingdom's territory safely.
After a long scouting tour, Kyren found a good spot and sat down to rest for a bit.
He calmly raised his head and stared at the star-filled sky, involuntarily letting out a long, tired sigh.
'Damn it, this is suicide. Don't those arrogant leaders realize they're sending us to our deaths?'
Kyren clenched his fist, feeling his chest boil with rage.
He truly hated this and hadn't agreed to be sent on this crazy mission.
