First Face-Off - Stalemate

"Captain Devitt, how much longer before we reach the foot of the mountain?" Exhausted, Abel carefully bent down and walked to Devitt, asking him as they walked together.

When Devitt heard this, he raised his head, looked at the sky, and estimated, "Captain Abel, it should be about two hours before we can walk out of the Ent's territory border."

"There are still two hours?" Abel sighed. "I didn't expect that it would take so long to avoid the Ent."

Ever since the reconnaissance team entered the Ent's estate, they had been in a creeping position. It had been three hours, and they had only descended about two-thirds of the journey down the mountain.

To be creeping for such a long time in the high humidity jungle, it was tough even for the Caradia soldiers who had strenuous daily training. Not to mention the long-range elven mages who usually did not pay much attention to their physical fitness.
