Preparation

Eran and Irlof continued their journey to the east, passing by the busy activities taking place in the village of Alku. As they reached the exit of the village, the sight of a hill appeared before their eyes, inviting their attention.

This hill was located on the right, so they had to leave the main road and start climbing the hill. The hill seemed higher than the surrounding hills on the south side of Alku, but the slope was quite gentle, making the climb quite easy.

Irlof whispered something to Eran, "That's their base."

As they neared the top of the hill, they began to see a small hut standing alone there. Not far from the hut, there was a group of people who seemed to be shouting while drunk and playing gambling vigorously. The atmosphere at the bandit headquarters was chaotic and uncontrollable.

"Are you sure?" asked Eran to confirm Irlof's courage. Irlof nodded firmly, although there was still doubt in his eyes.
