Finally Attacking the Castle

It took five hours until I reached a place near the castle. According to Rendy, the sword of calibre had a range of miles, so it was best to stay outside the area of its reach.

I agreed with him, despite them being five hours away from the castle. Knowing how far it was, I started to roam the area, looking for any intruders, or spies related to any force.

I soon found some small armies, camped all over the place. I took Nani with me, as she was familiar with the local powers here. she spotted these forces, identified them as belonging to the noble forces.

Without even saying a word, I acted by using my artifact, absorbing every single person here, and then moving out. I repeated the process for over twenty times, wasting more hours in the search and hunt, but eventually I had big gains.
