Settlement or Travel

"Mn… We should be able to get to the settlement by tomorrow." I muttered while glancing at the makeshift map that the scouts have created.

With the information we obtained, if we avoid the monsters roaming around, we should be able to reach within a single day.

But if we decide to fight, it could attract more monsters and with a caravan like ours, that would be a bad choice since not everyone could fight.

'We're not exactly a small group anymore so we can't move around easily.' I thought to myself with a frown.

Looking at the number of monsters around, I don't think combat is avoidable but it was a bit strange.

They have small territories but never fought amongst themselves.

It was almost like they were 'protecting' something. No… protecting wouldn't work since they are clearly hostile towards what they're 'protecting'. All of the monsters would be glaring towards that direction with hostility.
