Lokirav Pass

On the early morning of May 27, at East Station No. 8, 320 kilometers east of Night-Kirin City, the Senior Knight in charge of eastward expansion, Wayne Lanyuan, and the magical Great Fairy in charge of infrastructure, Theresa Lava, left the station castle that had only been completed yesterday. According to the results of yesterday's cavalry reconnaissance, less than thirty kilometers farther northeast, they would be able to see the eastern gate of the Gallop Plains: Lokirav Pass.

Lokirav Pass was 340 kilometers in a straight east-west line from Night-Kirin City, and roughly 80 kilometers due north. Meanwhile, after the Gallop River flowed east past East Station No. 6—that was, after the salt mine—it curved around Salt Mine Canyon and ran north for more than fifty kilometers before turning east again. This meant that East Station No. 6 and East Station No. 7 were separated mainly north to south, while in the east-west direction they were less than ten kilometers apart.

Ever since East Station No. 7 had been established, tribes from the northeast had gradually begun moving closer to Wayne Lanyuan's team. To make things easier to handle, Landen had specially assigned additional knights, cavalry, and one Barbarian Priest to each of the two east-west expansion teams as support. To ensure communications, all the Signal Groups had been redistributed. Rothe, the Iron Mine, and the salt mine had already set up Communication Rooms and could communicate in real time through Magic Mirrors. The station Signal Groups between those territories and Night-Kirin City had been assigned to East Station No. 7, East Station No. 8, and the various stations beyond West Station No. 7.

With nearly real-time communication, and a magical Great Fairy at Archmage level by his side, Wayne Lanyuan could confidently lead his subordinates to complete the task
