The Nine O'Clock God of Moonlight (3/3)

The grass plains, nighttime

The caravans hastily made their way back to Norton Kingdom, but something unexpected happened. Around three in the morning, a mercenary ran back to his leader from the road up ahead. He seemed terrified, as if he had just witnessed something inexplicable.

"Leader, there's a problem up front."

The mercenary leader, Milo, looked a lot better than before. The symptoms of his poisoning had all but disappeared. He had also regained most of his strength.

Hearing this, Milo's brows furrowed. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Don't say it out loud, we don't want this to get out."

He feared that this would instigate panic among the merchants.

In a low, hurried tone, the mercenary said, "Leader, there's something blocking our path in front. It's wide and invisible, but it seems like a wall. A really big wall."
