The real cause

Before the path could lead them higher and higher, they suddenly heard a call for a halt from a soldier.

"Everyone! Stop and build an encampment!" One of the soldiers shouted. No need to know who this command came from, as they already know that it was the young commander who issued it. However, the soldiers had different reactions regarding it.

"Eh? Why?"

"Isn't it dangerous to stay here longer?"

"Who cares! My feet are all sore and numb. So, rest is a right call!" One of the soldiers quipped and found his butt a boulder to sit on. It wasn't easy climbing this tall mountain for almost 5 hours without rest. He wondered how the young commander could continue this climb without a rest. The soldier thought that it might be the advantage of young people. But when a soldier yelled a halt order, he felt heaven heard his prayer. He let a sigh of relief away from his mouth.

Though, not all have the same reactions as him. Some were pessimistic towards it.
