Words Before the Invasion 

A few more days passed...

At this point, Minos' group was finally in the vicinity of the Longus family's territory!

After traveling all the way to the vicinity of this empire's border with one of its neighbors, this group was less than a day's journey from their targets.

Arriving at this point in their journey, Minos met with his people to plan the invasion of the Longus family for the last time!

...

"Tomorrow at dawn, we will all infiltrate the headquarters of our enemies," Minos said as he stood near a campfire where almost all of his people were gathered in their surroundings, sitting on the ground or tree trunks.

"Don't expect to be greeted warmly by our enemies. Don't make the mistake of thinking that everything we plan will work out.

They certainly have traps prepared for us. Their lives depend on it, so they will not be defenseless.
