“Stop moving so slow! Don’t break formation! At this rate, it’ll be dark before we set up camp!” Zagar shouted to the cavalry trotting up behind him.

The sun was beginning to set, and the entire party was in the forest. The mercenaries timidly snapped their reins, but they weren’t trained horsemen, and their horses weren’t warhorses. Before long, the formation started to crumble again.

“Shit. The whole reason I shrunk my unit down to five hundred men was so we could all have horses, but...”

The reason for Zagar’s unease was the fact that most of the scouts he’d sent out hadn’t returned. He doubted there were any enemies waiting to ambush him up ahead, but if his scouts hadn’t been killed it meant they were deserting. If there were deserters, that meant his command over the men was falling apart. Up until now, Zagar hadn’t had a single deserter from his unit. This isn’t good...but I just have to hold on until I get my hands on the Valkaan Orb and then none of this matters.

“Hey, what happened to Kumluk’s squad?”

“They still haven’t returned, sir...”

The man’s reply only served to increase Zagar’s unease. He doubted a man as loyal as Kumluk would desert him. That meant either Kumluk had either been attacked by someone or gotten lost. Should I have everyone dismount and prepare for a potential ambush? Zagar’s unit was currently marching through a narrow forest path. His men were used to chaotic melees, but not to fighting on horseback. If they were ambushed now, his unit would almost certainly get wiped out. He was aware of how dangerous it was to advance into uncharted territory while his scouts were missing. But if I don’t brave this kind of danger, my final opportunity will slip through my fingers... Zagar steeled himself for the trials to come.

According to The Secrets an Heir Must Know, there were less than 1000 mountain people, and they had only a few villages scattered across the slope. At most, they had maybe 100 trained warriors. A force that small was no match for Zagar’s mercenaries. However, the problem was that his unit’s morale was low. Because he was officially looking for the missing king, his men hadn’t been able to pillage the towns they’d passed. Of course, it was unlikely that he’d actually get into a fight, but expeditions were always a risky endeavor. I need to do something to raise everyone’s morale...and fast.

Making up his mind, Zagar shouted, “Listen up, everyone! We’re almost to the mountain tribe’s villages! Those bastards aren’t Kuwolese, so Kuwol’s laws don’t apply here! You know what that means, right?!”

The mercenaries started muttering excitedly to each other. They finally had permission to loot and pillage to their heart’s content.

Zagar added, “From what I’ve heard, their women are all ravishing, too. Though, they’re all dark-skinned barbarians.”

“Ohhhh...”

The mercenaries’ lips curled up into vulgar smiles. Zagar smiled as well, glad that his unit’s morale was restored. Honestly, I have no idea if the mountain women are hot.
