they are on patrol.”

“But we haven’t encountered any soldiers on patrol up until now.”
While this was Janius’s land, we were very close to Leninoth’s.

Well, it’s not like there was a clearly visible line, so I didn’t know for sure.
But I believed that we were passing through an area that was just a few kilometers away from Leninoth’s territory.

“It must be that our country has begun the invasion.”

“Ahh…yes, it would be right about now, wouldn’t it?”

In order to make this plan work, there was a need for three groups to move at the right time.
And ours was the first group.

While the country prepared for war, we would quietly escape.
Our goal was to avoid any fighting until we reached Fara’s lands.

Around that time, General Gorgodan would make a big show of appearing at Leninoth’s borders.

Of course, Leninoth would send out an army to drive them back.
However, Gorgodan and most of his army were giants.
So there would be nothing strange about them moving slowly.

Gorgodan’s purpose was to start a battle near the border.
By luring the enemy in and fighting, we would be able to spread out the enemy forces.

In the meantime, General Farneze would take her very best soldiers and move towards Leninoth’s castle.
Most of them would be Night Demons, so they would be able to blend in the shadows and avoid detection.

As for us, we just had to wreak havoc on Fara’s territories in order to attract soldiers into Leninoth’s lands.
My prediction was that Totoir’s army would be deployed.
And we would just disappear right before their arrival.

“If Leninoth is acting now, it must mean he is wary of the surrounding countries.”
In order to focus on the war, he had to keep a sharp eye on his borders.

Apparently, Leninoth was not the type who found such measures to be too troublesome.
Well, it was a good thing for us.
The more scattered his forces were, the better.

“Ah, but then it might be harder for General Farneze to sneak into the country.”

If they were discovered too quickly, it was possible that the enemy would see through the entire plan.
I could only hope that the stealth abilities of those creatures of the night would not disappoint us.
Besides, there was nothing we could do to help them.

“What should we do?”
“I think it would be too dangerous to go deeper into Janius’s territory.
And we should only move under cover of night from now on.”

There were many reasons to avoid being seen by the scouts Leninoth had unleashed.
And though it might cause a delay for us, I preferred safety.
Everything would be over if we were caught.

And so I had everyone gather together and then explained to them the change in plan.
“Our country and Leninoth’s country are likely in a state of war now.
From here on, we will rest during the day and move during the night.
If you are seen by anyone, report it immediately.
We have to erase all witnesses.
I’ll be expecting you all to be extra vigilant.”

And so it took us two days longer than planned.
However, we were able to arrive in Fara’s lands without being seen.
