After a day of travel, the group of mercenaries, Quintin family guards, and Lioness Knights blew a loud horn, making their presence known, as they arrived on the outskirts of Lioness Kingdom to its eastern border/southeast of Venta City. In front of them stood a ruined fort, however its battlements, broken walls and large stone debris weren't sleeping peacefully as it should be.
The fort had several tents inside and outside the fort. There was also a thin wooden palisade guarding its entrance and about a hundred people stood behind the spikes and about another fifty or so on the broken battlements. These people were wearing either hide or leather armor, the typical signature clothing of a marauder but some seemed to be normal looking peasants.
