Trappers
Captain Raika considered Serena's and Tristan's words for a moment as this could affect the entire group. After a while, she finally agreed to let the two on their escapade.
However, Tristan was strictly warned by the former to not do anything suspicious. Otherwise, he would be put down right at that moment and place. Furthermore, the Kingsblade would follow them from behind, to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Receiving the agreement from the captain, Serene swiftly took a dozen elven soldiers with her in order to solve the incoming threat. The selected elves immediately got off from their horses and gathered near her. Afterwards, they went ahead and made their way towards the said trappers in a slow, careful manner.
In the meantime, Tristan was right behind this group of people. He was fascinated by how effective and efficient these elves were. They were moving through the woods without making a single sound, following the hand signs Serena did.
