While many groups were scattered around the borders of the Black Plain, some of Albano's royal guards had already left the camps they had infiltrated.
They had already gathered a lot of information among those criminals, and, more importantly, upon realizing that something was about to happen, they could not help but hurry their departure.
After all, unlike these criminals and mercenaries without a background that could complicate the situation, they had the great royal family of Albano behind them. So, if they were caught doing what they should not in this region, their entire organization and families could be compromised!
Hence, even before sunrise, they had already left the various camps around the borders of the Black Plain.
Specifically, one of these groups was, at this moment, rushing back to Albano.
