The main army of the prisoner's convoy had already set off on their journey to the Desolate Wastelands after receiving a 'report' from Leon's side that their original route was clear and without any danger points.
As such, after days of waiting, their convoy finally moved to enter the wastelands.
Crown Prince Ranon was feeling good as he saw the look of seriousness and vigilance on Mishael, Kazimir, and Antoine's faces.
He interpreted it as a sign of anxiousness as they finally entered a well-known route where the conditions were unpredictable.
Upon his estimation they will arrive to encounter the ambush after seven days or so, it was a long delay on their end, but for him, it was enough for the ambush troop to deal with Leon and reorganize for their next assault.
After all, they were now composed of three battalions. It would be a waste if they failed to contain Leon even if he is an S-class.
