Three days have passed, when the sky turned dark, the group of horse-drawn carriage arrived at the dry forest. The green ground has turned into a dark-yellow color, coupled with some animal corpses scattering around the main road.
Not far from the main road, spotted a hundred dry trees surrounded them, blocking the vision deep into the dry forest. With high pitch sound from the crows' cries, the soldiers immediately became alert.
The sound of horses breathing became halted along with the footsteps from the horseshoes. The carriages shook slightly as the rounded wheel stopped.
The soldiers immediately sheath their swords from the waist and then spread around the carriages while observing in wary at the surrounding.
With the light only dependent on the moonlight and the torches hanging on the carriages, the soldiers waited patiently. Their faces turned frown as they only saw darkness enveloping the dry forest.
"Split up into three-men groups, secure the area surrounding area and move the carriages to the side." The captain that was beside Desmond's carriage shouted in a high tone. Upon seeing his comrade skills, he nodded in satisfaction.
The captain also draws his sword along with the burly soldier beside him; while he acted as Desmond's body's guard, he also not forget his main job.
Upon hearing their captain, the soldier took action. Their professionalism was displayed with they split themselves into the eight directions of the wind without making a loud noise.
The more simple the command, the more shown how is the soldiers' quality of the kingdom. Looking at their judging capability and awareness, Vesta's soldiers were clearly the best quality in this kingdom.
While the soldiers carried the command, the mercenaries did not stand idle. After the carriages moved to the side, they began to set up a camp and bonfire. Unlike the soldiers, the mercenaries are more adaptable to this unknown situation of the forest.
Ray looked at the surrounding with his calm gaze. While his comrades setting up a camp and bonfire, he looking around only to spot they are in the middle of the forest with only the main road as the exit.
But the felt of anxiety surging his heart, with the power of 3rd class Swordsman, Ray could see what the soldiers not, his earing reaching the peak while he also maximizing his nose to sniff only to became flinched.
There is a smell of spit and ground mixing in one object, Ray thought, his eyes narrowed, penetrating the deep pitch black of the dry forest. He glanced at the other mercenaries and found Veronica was still looking at the night sky.
This is bad; even though the competition between mercenaries is not fierce, we still can't afford to lose more power. Ray determined his will while approaching the Steel Legion mercenaries.

On the other hand, while the outside situation was so tense, Vesta was seen enjoying his night coffee with a book in his hand.
"Father, why not you give a command to your soldiers?" Diana was sitting across her father with her hand holding a cup of juice and her clear orange eyes staring at him.
Vesta shifted his gaze to look at his daughter and replied with an honest and smile," Hmm, it's a bit hard to explain to you unless you want your brain want to explode?" he gave off a sneer while teasing his daughter.
"Ugh." Diana's expression looked pained; she shrinks back down while holding her head with her free hand. "No, I'm fed up with books."
Vesta shook his head and let out a chuckle while continue to read his book.

"It's about time." Desmond leaned against the small window, his eyes staring at the pitch dark deep darkness surrounding the inner forest. In the corner of his view, he sees many red-light dots are approaching his location.
When Desmond turned around and want to active his spell, he stopped. Why should I care about the carriage? After all, this is not mine, he tough while his eyes wandering around and see Laura was smiling at him.
" Stay here and guard our thing. " Desmond stated as he takes his sword from the corner near his bed. He then stretched his hands, neck, and legs before walking to the exit. "I'll be heading out for a bit to exercise."
Laura was looking at her young master's back anxiously as she clenches her fist. She shifted her gaze to the small window and spotted one group of three-man soldiers standing near the main road.

The sound of the door step open was heard, with Desmond came out; his eyes glances around and find all the scattering soldiers were slowly advancing. " It seems the plan to give a surprise attack.," he muttered and narrowed his eyes at the front where he can see a glimpse of red light emitting from a creature's eyes.
Desmond then shifted his glance at the side of mercenaries, seeing Ray comforting the gloomy Veronica. " On the contrary, the mercenaries still do not solve their problem. " Desmond spoke as he observed one by one the rest of members Steel Legion's expression.
The birds that were hanging around the trees' branches were now flying to the sky as if something approaching from the deep of the dry forest. The crows started to cries, making the situation looked horrified, coupled with a high-pitch howl.
"Ready your position!" Instantly a loud voice from the captain was heard that was broke the tense situation. The soldiers immediately abandon their position, backing off, and began to protect the carriages from all directions.
While the mercenaries Corps of Teleknights taking their position and aiming their swords at the deep-black dry forest.
"The witches don't use your fire element." The captain shouted; his eyes were bulging out and became red upon seeing the sight of unprepared Steel Legion mercenaries. He gave them a snort before shifting his gaze to Desmond, standing casually.
"And you ...bas-... boy, get inside the carriage!" The captain added and clicked his tongue; his anger makes him almost spit out the unpolite word, luckily his dignity restraining him.
Meanwhile, Desmond ignored the captain's warning. He only felt a bit irritated before calming his mind. His eyes looked back at the sigh of Veronica and the rest of her members. "She is in peak in her class, with the lesson from before unless her mind is numb, the Steel Legion mercenaries will rampaging around, venting their emotion about their dead comrades."
"And also, it seems I've been misunderstood the capability of 3rd class Swordsman," Desmond added as his eyes peeked at Ray. He then smiled, adding the unknown factor from the Steel Legions coupled with the Corps of Teleknights," Finally, I can test my experiment at ease."
