"Still, this is fine. At least the chances of enemies appearing have become smaller! We may not have gained any benefits, but there's no danger either. Let's just treat it as a sightseeing trip!" With that thought, Nalant withdrew his gaze.
As night gradually fell, they finally finished setting up camp.
After dinner, aside from the guards assigned to night watch, everyone else returned to their tents early to rest. Seven consecutive days of travel had left them all exhausted.
