In the dark and mysterious night, both enemy groups were currently advancing towards the base.
The trees were bald and the forest was bare, as the snow had completely swallowed the place whole.
Large piles and heaps of snow could be seen all around the forest, causing several cold chills to run down the spines of these intruders.
Eli's men stealthily advanced while hiding behind the massive heaps of snow..... and continuously scouted the place in search of all hidden guards.
They only knew that their enemies were now hiding around this point, but they didn't know what formation the enemy was using when hiding.... as well as where their enemies were guiding and watching them from.
So they didn't know the exact location where each hidden guard binding to their enemy was.
With that said, they had no choice but to advance while hiding behind the snow, trees or fallen tree logs that were lying on the ground.
