Volume IV - Chapter 102: A Momentary Chill

As we continued through the trees, I looked at the time display at the top left of my vision.

Half an hour had passed, they should start soon... there was not much distance between us and the mountain.

"Stop, duck!"

I didn't even think about what had happened when Gurdas, who was in front of us, suddenly said this in a low voice. I quickly crouched down, hiding myself behind the trees, and the other two dwarves did the same.

A moment of silence fell between us, we didn't move a muscle, and then, in the midst of this silence, something slowly caught my attention.

It was the sound of footsteps, and there was more than one. And not just more than one, there were many. It was as if a small platoon was moving in one direction at the same time.
