319 Stalling the Advancing Army

"Don't slow down! We don't rest until the town is in sight!" 

The command passed over the open road, being relayed by multiple soldiers to those of lower ranks. Altogether, the army of over three hundred humans and beasts alike continued to push forward without missing a beat. Most were panting as they kept their gazes pressed ahead. No one dared to look back and defy the man atop the chain of command. 

"Good…" One man chuckled as he scanned over his marching men while he rode a massive horse even larger than the Thick-hide Stallions. "Is there any news from the scouting party?"

"Nothing yet, sir." Another man was riding horseback alongside the general, who added, "They haven't found any signs of the enemy just yet. Perhaps they mobilized later than we had anticipated."

"Hmm… But why? Did they find out about the others?"

"I'm not sure."
