Taking The Scrolls Back
"It's our goal to arrive at that place, where a big, fortified city lies," William knew from the map details and records he read in the library a little about that place.
It was one of the few cities belonging to the kingdom, and it was heavily fortified to rival any decent grade academy.
At the same time, there were lots of roads ending up from different locations towards there. And from there, only one road came out, leading towards the capital.
"This is the path we will take," William passed his scabbard to follow a line drawn by him on the map, "it's the shortest and safest path I could find through all this mess. We are going to travel inside the forest, directly through the deeper parts of it. So, remain vigilant, and follow my orders to the letter, or else I'm not responsible for your deaths."
